Retep reacted to just a normal guy kevin in VNYL
"The beauty of VNYL is that tomorrow we can change our service to a vintage toaster club, TSTR. Or start shipping old Dell printers from the 90s, PRNTR. Or live birds, BRDS. And our brand quality would never change. We had a video editor make some content for us, a short 3D Vimeo-hosted film about vinyl, and we got the bassist from Surfer Blood to do an interview for our Medium site- a great piece of content. And tomorrow we debut our newest and best piece of content: a 15 minute short film about a group of twenty-something actors in Venice exploring the neighborhood, finding the #vibes that exist in their own backyard, and eventually ending up at an abandoned dance hall by the shore (the one from the movie the Wrestler) where they encounter a small table with a turntable on it. It's called WEVNYL and it's directed by Harmony Korrin's roommate in college."

I like how the actual VNYL record store sells new records, but their subscribers only get pure junk.
Nick Alt, if you're lurking (and there's a pretty good chance that you are), here's a free idea: Every package from here on out should have one new, modern record accompanied by two old used records that somehow fit the same #vibe. Like, something THIS SIMPLE wouldn't cut into your profit margin a ton and would also make customers feel like they're actually getting something worthwhile, instead of mailing thrift-store records across the country just to be taken to another thrift store.
So, like, if someone picks "#danceparty" or whatever, send them the new Mark Ronson record with Bruno Mars on it, then some random-ass Stevie Wonder and Lionel Richie records too. BOOM. DONE. Your customer is stoked and you cleaned out your dollar bin.
Now pay me $36,000.

The second most concerning thing out of this whole thing is how excited people are paying ridiculous amounts for dollar bin grabs.

Replenishing the VNYL selection.
** Edit - Sorry ladies just noticed the guy in this picture has a wedding ring on.

Yep, in terms of The Neigbourhood's catalog they likely had the smallest pressing number. They only sold them on an early headlining tour and it looks like they just gave the small run-over stock to the other bands they had as their support act.
No chance of the 1975's split showing up though by this point I'm sure. Bummed they didn't show up in time as my date was one of the first with the 1975. I've seen that split go for over $70 and up. The other two sometimes exceed $30 on eBay and currently on Discogs.

Just beautiful. Really glad the standard press features that gatefold design, despite conflicting rumors.

Just bought the pink pressing, all is good and uncensored. The pink looks slick too, glad I opted for this over the picture disc.

If you're in a big city, you'd be best to get to the store around or even before 5AM. Smaller stores will be a niche though, my area's pretty small so the store I often go to us safe to have a line up start an hour before hand. Just a luck of the draw in most cases, FB could be your friend if the store makes an event to see how many people respond to it; just a basic litmus test that could help.

Retep got a reaction from vinyl addict in The Third Man Records Thread
There's really no way of knowing, it could've been a stack of labels or a one off. Nothing really of note though in the long run, just a simple mistake that has no real bearings.

Everyone is against them until they sell something you want.

Cool: Selling something you bought to listen to and selling it for more than you paid for it, depending on how much someone is willing to offer you if they want it really bad.
Not cool: Buying records specifically to resell at a higher cost, especially the moment you get home from buying them. Some eBay people who were posted in the Hot Topic thread even couldn't wait until they got home and took the photos of their records in their car.

damn I was hoping to be the first to show off my advance copy, but I was beat to it looks like. I opened mine and its the same artwork so spread the word on Twitter and Instagram and Facebook and HotShot and stuff. I crumpled the paper some because of trying to get it off but I'm so pumped.
