    I also was a little miffed at the numbered sticker, enough to email them, they agreed it was a dumb idea and most likely will be gold foil stamping the number on future issues. I cut my sticker and placed it in the flexi holder, behind the flexi. I also got the split seam on my inner sleeve. Overall I guess it was an ok release, but at these prices, is ok really, ok? Underwhelmed in Maine.

    Doesn't get earlier than this. Perhaps the ultimate Brand New collectible?
    This is the original 4 track demo CD with different, earlier and rawer versions of Jude Law, Logan, The Shower Scene, and Secondary (which itself was an early version of Last Chance to Lose Your Keys)
    I censored Brian's phone number in the photo, but it's obviously on the real thing.
    Consider how many thousands of copies of Deja or TDAGARIM were pressed that people pay $400/$100+ for every day, and then think of how few of these there have to be in comparison. Then consider how many of these CDs survived the past (nearly 14) years. And consider that the band had a very direct involvement in the production and distribution of this gem.
    It's a piece of history. If you're a fan, you won't wanna let this one slip. You will always be able to find a copy of Deja one way or another, this? Not so much.
    I will trade for other BN related stuff, tell all your friends on green vinyl + differential in PayPal, or even just for pure paypal monies. Make me an offer I can't refuse and it's yours.

    $40 for a release I never wanted and think is easily Mondo's worst to date is about $40 too much.

    They did say the Hills Have Eyes soundtrack will be released pretty quickly after this is released so who knows what they are doing behind the scenes, if that will be another CD to vinyl release or if they went to the master tapes for it. I don't remember what David Hess said but the fact that he said for years he was a musician first and foremost before an actor and he didn't keep high quality copies of his work says a lot about him. And no copy of the master tapes for himself? They must be somewhere.
     
     
    I'm really hoping that OWS do separate themselves from the others and are a bit cheaper in their pricing because this will be people's first impressions of them. Other labels do put a bit more work into the releases but I'm not convinced that a $30 price tag on any album is justified, not all the time. It should be about the music and nothing else. Sometimes I think too much attention is put on everything but the music, whether it's limited or numbered or coloured or whatever else. I understand it's a big selling point but it's not an excuse to charge an arm and a leg for something and that's partly our fault as fans because you want the best release possible.

    For the record, I am User420. I think it's pretty funny that anyone actually thinks I am the OP or that my name is Richard and that I was serious about telling the kid making threats to send me to the ER to "come over." I understand sarcasm doesn't translate well through text but when I said "You CLEARLY know who I am" I was being sarcastic. 
     
    I appreciate blocking me under User420 from posting. I don't understand what I did to warrant a ban from blocking as I don't feel as though I was posting for the sole purpose of creating an argument. But thanks for jumping to conclusions about people's identities and thanks for being rational and mature regarding discussions. The intellect of some of the members of this forum is astounding.

    That means you open it up and you play it and are able to hear it. I was looking at some albums today, not that long till they're out and others only just out in the last few months and not only do I see terms like sold out and limited and varients but I see people doing trades. Then I browse the very few music forums I bother with including this one and I see these same terms and what I did was I looked at these albums that have sold out in just a few months and also to the ones coming out and it's the same kind of thing. This one will be numbered, this one will be red but this other black varient is only 1000 copies.
     
     
    Really? Is that what music is now? That to me means it's shit. How can any company or label with a straight face say they care about the music they are releasing when they stick a number on each one, different colours on each one and then places like this talk about it so you end up with all these people buying the damn things just for the sake of it having it as a collectable. Don't get me wrong, if i owned a label, i'd take every penny I could get out of all you people. You deserve to have your money taken out of your pocket, you deserve to be ripped off, you deserve to pay $30 for a piece of cheap PVC plastic stuck inside some cheap cardboard cover. If i was them I'd do the same damned thing because obviously hand written numbers and colours and limited pressings means more than buying something because you want it and it's going to give you pleasure to listen to it.
     
     
    I applaud the bootleggers. I wish they would do more. Paragon done some great bootlegs over the last few years with regards to 12" singles. What we need is more bootleggers to start pressing albums and sell them fast and cheap. Let's face it, major labels are just gonna stick the same CD master onto the record anyway, it's not like they're gonna spend any time making sure Katy Perry sounds good on vinyl so I think we need to go back to the 1990s where the white label was king and you all know that anyway. You know the albums you buy from Amazon are just as good as any bootleg, you fool yourselves into believing you're getting something better but it really isn't. I'd rather that than be told there is only 1000 copies of an album being pressed but oh no....that's just a colour, if you want it on black vinyl well, you're screwed cause that sold out in so many hours but don't worry you can still buy some on white vinyl from this cowboy website in America and pay lots of shipping on top of the premium price because remember it's limited!  We could easily press 5 or 6000 of them but we'd rather fuck you up the ass and get what we can while we can. What an insult to me and my fellow music fans.
     
     
    It's all money money money. Anytime i read the word varient or hand numbered or limited I will think of the word money because that's all it is about. And don't any of you lot think I'm on your side, I told you people not that long ago it was your fault for killing off the 7" and 12" single and now through sheer greed and ignorance you're starting to kill off the album LP. Shame on all of you that buy into all this hype and talk and throw your money at these money hungry labels. And you can badmouth me all you want like you tried to do last time because I mentioned I liked popular music and this place thrives on guitar driven music and lets sit barefoot singing a song about love and peace and the thing is, at least with my music, i don't need a million options, I don't need money taken from my bank account months in advance because some geek who has more money than sense decides to dive in and buy it for the sake of making a quick buck rather than giving it to me, someone who actually wants it for the right reasons. When Eminem's MMLP2 gets released in a few weeks, and it will be on vinyl in the UK, no word on the US yet. At least I know i can not only buy it on release but I can buy it at Christmas, next year even, maybe next Christmas or Christmas 2015 because real labels don't just pick a number out of thin air, they keep pressing them and keep making them available to suit the demand. It's like the 100,000 copies of Justin Timberlake's 20/20 album. Those copies will last years. That's how it should be done. Infact I don't even want any replies in this thread, I just had to get that off my chest and let you people know what I think and what I think is right, I'm always right so don't try and argue back at me because you know I'm right and I don't care what the excuses are, It's BS and it ruins the very thought of buying a musical album. Music was never about that and it should never be about that.No one should ever have to feel pressured about buying an album because oh no if you don't buy it now then you can't later. All this stuff about colours is rubbish too, no coloured vinyl was ever superior to black virgin vinyl. Hand numbering? That's fine as long as you keep making them, you don't just stop after a certain number, if the demand is there then you keep going, you don't force people onto Ebay or Discogs. Or you do what the big labels do, you press plenty and you do it on black vinyl and you ship it everywhere you can.
