I would've guessed you'd like unboxing videos since you never get to see your Mondo stuff since it goes straight to ebay.
 

Check out some excerpts from Jay's #NewRules below.

On restoring "fair trade" in music:
Definitely. For someone like me, I can go on tour. But what about the people working on the record, the content creators and not just the artists? If they’re not being compensated properly, then I think we’ll lose some writers and producers and people like that who depend on fair trade. Some would probably have to take another job, and I think we’ll lose some great writers in the process. Is it fair? No. If you put in work, everyone else, you go to work you get paid. That’s fair trade. It’s what our country is built on.

On what he wants out of TIDAL:

Artists come here and start making songs 18 minutes long, or whatever. I know this is going to sound crazy, but maybe they start attempting to make a “Like a Rolling Stone,” you know, a song that doesn't have a recognizable hook, but is still considered one of the greatest songs of all time, the freedom that this platform will allow art to flourish here. And we’re encouraging people to put it in any format they like. It doesn't have to be three minutes and 30 seconds. What if it’s a minute and 17, what if it’s 11; you know, just break format. What if it’s just four minutes of just music and then you start rapping?

On whether it will offer exclusives from artists:

Well, it’s up to the artist. You know, there’s a thing now, it’s called the album cycle. You put your single out, promote it, then another single -- I think that now for an artist an album cycle doesn’t have to end. They’re on Instagram and Twitter and all these things, so we’re just talking about ways of extending that album cycle, and it could be anything. What if it’s a video offering tickets to the next concert, or what if it’s audio or video of the recording process? It could be anything. It could be them at home listening to songs that inspire them. Anything they want to offer, you know; just be as creative as possible, that’s the only charge, really. Make it look really good and make everyone that consumes it think, “Man, I got something really great.” Treat the people with respect; make it memorable.

Ok, I actually did use Google, and discogs,but there are no reviews on the quality of the recording. That is why I posted the question. I can see it's available to buy by many sellers, and in 2 colors of vinyl, and an original black pressing. Now reading comprehension will take you far in life, so stay in school, and pay attention in class. I am sick of all the condecending remarks when I ask a valid question on what I thought was a record collecting forum. Just because you cannot comprehend a sentence doesn't mean it's a stupid question. There are a lot of bad bootlegs floating around, the shop doesn't have a listening station, and I want to know if it's a quality recording or garbage. Simple question, if you don't know, why comment? I try not to buy blindly and waste my money on something I won't like, so I thought I would see if someone has heard it, and what their thoughts are.

Globes always make shit look classy.

My backup policy is pretty much just the Internet. If I lost my music, I'd just download again via torrents one piece at a time as I wanted to listen to it again.

Can you still place an order? If so, congrats you didn't miss it! If no, sorry you waited too long.

I wouldn't be surprised if its a "viral marketing hoax" to get stores to stock up to bolster earnings before the end of the business year... I mean look at how many people are freaking in this thread... store owners are probably following suit.

this going to be one of those "limited" editions... like the Beach Boys Smile on Sea of Tunes and some of the more recent 'Limited Reissues', like the Eels and Trainspotting that have been popping from Europe... as in, limited to how many we can sell, which is, granted still pretty limited, but you can't believe any of the numbers attached to them...

I'm fuckin' mad about Jury, like genuinely fucking upset. I've found myself rooting for Jax this whole season, despite all the dumb shit he's been doing, just because I hate Gemma so goddamn much and can't wait to see her get smoked. But this tears it. Jax killing Jury officially puts me firmly in Nero's camp - he's the only one that's going to walk away from this, and at this point I'm glad for it.
Fucking Jax didn't even know if Jury ratted them out to Lin - we didn't even know, it wasn't even dramatic irony! Barosky is more likely the rat than fucking Jury, the longtime club member and like, best fucking pal to John Teller. And on top of that he was just a cool guy. Shit.
Anyway: My theory now is that Gemma will kill Jax to save her grandkids - and can I say, I can't even take this bitch seriously as a character, because the notion of her being motivated by the love for these kids who aren't even fucking hers is not believable at all - and Nero will kill Gemma, leaving Nero, Wendy, Unser and the kids alive after Marks and/or Lin wipe out the rest of SAMCRO, because these two minor antagonists(!) have been imbued with final-season, final-boss, big bad guy powers.
An aside: My phone keeps auto-correcting Jax to Jacqueline - and he's being such a bitch, he may as well be Jacqueline.

If it's worth pirating, then you're saying it's worth listening to, no? And if it's worth listening to, surely it's worth supporting the artist for their creative efforts and not punishing them for something that may not be under their control? It's great that you've high-roaded your way to a justification for piracy, though. Reminds me of a thread in a subreddit devoted to a struggling cult TV show in which dozens of people admitted to pirating the DVDs in order to "send a message" to the monolithic entertainment conglomerate that didn't offer the series on Blu Ray.
You don't want to pay for things, that's fine. Just own it, dude.

LOFL! I didn't name or imply anybody (or pay particularly close to who was posting what) when I typed that... thought it would be funny to see if anybody called them-self out... I guess somebody did.

it's pretty obvious he addressed you in this thread, I like how he thinks he's hiding still!

'--edit, your last post came just as I was about to post this, but I think the sentiment stands.. and also Kudos for the entertaining follow through.... Mcdonalds éh! ahahah!--'
 
 
 
i think you're seeing this 'opportunity'  through the rose colored glasses of desire. its shading your rational mind! you said yourself you wouldn't do these things for 10 dollar item, yet your wanting is pushing you to do it with hundreds of dollars!  Every record I have REALLY REALLY wanted has come around again at some point. Often times if I was quick on the draw (Deja Entendu for 20, YFW for 15...hand to god!!), I got the deal of the century..of course those lucky moments just even out the times I let my desire overtake me. But those days are gone (mostly), Ive learned to just wait it out. I  feel pretty confident almost every person on here has let this NEED for a record (or whatever else) put them in a situation they regretted. But from experience, I gotta say, step back wait!  Sorry to sound like a downer here, realize you'll get it eventually without taking a huge risk....

My opinion on this case is that Nancy Grace needs to never utter another word, ever. Fuck that dumb bitch

You should have just called her a butthole. That always solves my problems. Calling people buttholes.

you guys just enjoy calling out anybody for anything or what?  How more upfront and direct can that person be about the the records!? Anybody who wants to bid on them, that's their prerogative.  Not sure what gets your pussies so hurt about it. Nobody is forcing anybody to bid on that, and if anybody does, they know exactly what they are getting.

Take the shrink wrap off. Fold it up and put it inside the gatefold.
