NoWorthyIcons

Where there is no taste, only hype. Vinyl Collective ™

That Frank Turner record was a must-buy at that price, for sure.

Haha pretty much. Grabbed SDRE, Elliot Smith, Silversun Pickups, and Frank Turner. 

TBH too, if it does sound like shit, you can still get rid of it pretty easily. It's similar to the MYW situation. All the 1LP's that were garbage I got rid of right away at cost without any issues, so might as well try it out.

There's a certain really dumb user who doesn't understand life doesn't work in absolutes, but make no mistake Tertia has NEVER sounded good and you're hardly gambling buying this new pressing. You literally can't do worse than what existed before this lol

These are up. Looks like they had a sale on yellow vinyl at the plant lol

A simple "no" would have been enough. 

Did you join the discord?

Should be announced sometime today.

Damn, that's exciting, I wonder what it will look like. Red, blue...the options are limitless.

SoV also has a 30% off sale as well (and you can also stack the same promo codes for uDiscoverMusic since they're the same company). It's not site-wide and free shipping is from +$50, but there are definitely some items there that aren't on uD as well. I managed to grab the Pole box for like $60.
 
Also: Prince Sign O' the Times Super Deluxe box would be like $150. Insane.

Exactly. Not any of those things at all. But like the variant everyone thought they were getting, some sort of transparency.

Imagine complaining about splatter consistency all the time and then pretending like you don't care while still giving away how much you care by mentioning splatter when this isn't a splatter problem.

In all seriousness, I love the decision to go with "deluxe and super deluxe" instead of "standard and deluxe". That's some primo capitalist shit right there.

Arrived today, looks and sounds as good as expected, if not better

All four are my favorites. With In Blueberry Memories being the top.

Oh, God...someone with a good version of the Revolver variant post a picture quick so I can stop being so nervous until mine gets here on Monday.

What is this, CD Collective? Get the fuck outta heeeeere

The good news from this is that any flippers who are not aware of how bad this is will probably have to sit on these for a long time before finally selling them at-cost, potentially not even profiting off them. That's always a pleasant thought.

Real quick, guys... as fun as it is to circle-jerk and shit on an easy target, I'd like to go on record as saying NoWorthyIcons is a good dude, and hardly a "Karen" with vinyl.  I've known him for years – as an online acquaintance, anyway – and homie hasn't flipped a single record in his life.  Not even sure if he's sold one, to be honest with you.  Just this year he's started to really get back into the world of vinyl and collecting newer releases he's slept on – he's been out of the loop for a little bit.  I don't want to speak entirely on his behalf, but before 2020 I don't think he was in a position where he was ordering new releases or being subjected to the classic "mockup vs. end product" dilemma we're all used to.
 
But I can confirm he bought two copies of Lament, tops.  A splatter variant he's just "okay" with - but is considering selling? - and this Revolver color-way.  I can also confirm he's just as nerdy and particular as most of us are about the way our vinyl turns out.  Pretty understandable when you're passionate about the music on the record and settling for one copy.  Lord knows I do the same.  I have 100% sold off a pre-order because I was disappointed with the way it turned out, just to fund a different variant that suits my preferences better.  Yeah, it all sounds the same at the end of the day.  (More or less, anyway.)  There's nothing wrong with caring about the way your collection looks, though.  Vinyl itself is a pretty tangible medium; it's really the only excusable format to care that much about.
 
I ended up grabbing a deluxe copy of Lament a week or two after I placed my Revolver order.  I only need 1 copy, truly, but I kept the Revolver order because I figured the merge could end up making for a really cool variant.  If I didn't have the deluxe, I would actually sell off my sealed Revolver (at cost) and buy an electric blue or that Euro splatter.  Both variants are more appealing to me despite sounding identical.  And at the end of the day, as someone who doesn't own 6+ copies of this thing, I want to be jazzed when I go to listen to the 1 copy on my shelf.  There's no crime in that.  I enjoy tracking down cool variants for just about every album I'm fond enough to buy; there is very little black vinyl or "bleh" variants on my shelf, proportionate to appealing variants I own.  That's been my MO for a decade now and I have no regrets.  Not gonna' knock anyone who feels similarly.
 
And finally, I highly doubt NoWorthyIcons would actually e-mail a label or distro to complain about a variant or demand a discount in the process.  Not gonna' speak for him, or anything like that... but those who ordered the Revolver variant paid extra (it was like ~$30 shipped, wasn't it?), waited longer to receive it, and ended up with something way different than described.  Which, yeah, it happens.  If you've been buying pre-orders for years, you're used to it and may shrug it off.  If you're newer to that disappointment, then maybe it leaves you pretty salty.  I'm somewhere in the middle – not surprised, but still annoyed.  Not furious or anything but strongly considering selling it, in all honesty.  Call it petty or whatever you want.  It is what it is.  I just think it's unfair to accuse someone – who has been a positive influence to many threads and discussions on VC – as some kind of uptight, "vinyl portfolio" Karen when it's not the case.
 
My wordy 2¢.  Appreciate anyone who took the time to read it.

Depends on how much you value the Black Stallion LP, tbh. I've seen the 2010 White Pony represses going for $40 on Discogs. If you're not really a "remix" guy, don't think spending those twenty extra clams is worth it.
