Ordered a copy of Popscene 12" by Blur on Ebay years ago....turns out to be more of a crime scene as the postman bent the record so hard to fit it in my mailbox that it all went to pieces.

 

I guess some postmen don't know what "fragile" written all over the package means

Shout out to IGOR you took care of me during a past ITR order. Cheers for that!

Same for me

 

Igor, you rule !!

 

 

So much mystery around Ty records these days....and big profit from greedy ****** to come

Worst experience so far :

I've ordered the Parquet Courts debut tape from Night Moves in march. Never received it though I've sent multiples emails to them...

Yea man, I was literally at home on my day off when my iPhone pinged me a new message from gmail. I read it, bought it, shared the news. Never had such a hyped e-mail from Drag City before.

 

Lucky you ! And thanks for sharing.

 

So I guess you heard the news on monday..

Heard the news when I woke up (damn jetlag !)

It was already too late, the site has already crashed.

 

Nevertheless it all seems strange to me :

> correct me if I'm wrong but there wasn't any "public" annoucement for this release, I mean nothing on the DC FB page, on Pitchfork (contrary to the other releases such as Fuzz deluxe record)

So I'd like to know where from those who were lucky enough to get it heard the news ? From the newsletter ?

 

> we don't have any info about the number pressed. I'd say 200 (that would explain that everything was sold out in 5 hours)

 

> the date on the DC release page in the 15th of october, but the news came out on the 4th of november...

 

> Meanwhile, the label remains silent and the site has crashed again...

 

Anyway, there are already 3 sellers on Ebay for this record (that you might get for only $200...)

 

 

Eventhough I do like limited pressings, this is becoming crazy and benefits only to unscrupulous sellers. 

To my mind, Drag City should follow the way Castle Face reacted to this craze (same scenario for Thee oh sees' Floating coffin) : releasing more copies.... 

 

But I may be dreaming too much
