Because test presses are really just for selling for too much $$
Where'd you see tour edition info?

A few things I've learned along the way (my boy is 6 and I'm 36):

Be as patient as humanly possible when they're a baby. You feel shitty for the rest of your life after telling a newborn to shut up when he/she won't stop crying (this is from personal experience).

Speaking of mistakes, realize, you'll make them. I beat myself up pretty hard at times. Then I'm reassured that I have a kind, caring, smart, funny, beautiful boy that makes me happy every day of my life.

Be supportive of your partner. Look up answers to questions, don't just ask because she had to figure out things with the baby. Go to doctor's appointments. Be able to an active parent so your lady can rely on you. This kiddo affects your relationship more than you know. So be a good helper.

Don't risk their life because of convenience. Always put them in the car seat. Until they're old enough to sit on just the booster. I hear reports more than I want of children dying in car accidents because they're not in car seats. It's real. Luckily I've never had to experience this.

Don't worry about what people say as far as 'baby instructions' or that kind of advice. People are trying to be helpful, but nobody can tell you what your child will exactly do. My son's mom and I heard "sleep when the baby sleeps." Guess what, kid didn't sleep for six months, LOL! That advice didn't work.

Don't spoil things for your kid. Whether you're religious or not, they'll eventually ask about God, magic, professional wrestling, the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus. You're not lying to them by letting them believe they're all real. My kid thinks magic is boring because I spoiled it for him. He has no interest. And while that's not terrible, I feel bad that I ruined something for him. Life ruins things for your children, don't be the source of your children's crushed dreams!

Tim, I'm not sure you really don't know...
 
A stamper set generally yields 700-1000 records.  In 2-Step plating,  the stampers come from a Mother that can yield about 11 sets of stampers, or about 11,000 records.  In 3-step plating, the father yields about 10 sets of mothers x 11k records per mother, or about 110,000 records pressed
 
These large Pressings are  almost always 3 step-plated and are often pressed at different plants from the same lacquer cut and then father and mothers
 
 

Most major showcases haven’t been announced yet. 

Just checked the SXSW 2016 lineup and they are not playing

Hot Snakes are supposed to be putting out a new record.

its ok. if the mods around here actually DID something, this would already be in the right place and you'd probably get more looks. 

lol. zero comments on this is why i left this board. smh. 

1. Propagandhi - Victory Lap - Just Wow - a grower not a shower this time around. Every listen I discover new things to love.
2. Brand New - Science Fiction - Sometimes dysfunctional/tragic/horrible/flawed people make great art. This may be one of those times. 
3. The Menzingers - After The Party - career topping LP - in most years this would have been my number 1
4. The Rural Alberta Advantage - The Wild - this one seemed to come out of nowhere for me, amazing folk rock songwriting, keep things varied throughout without throwing in too many ballads
5. 88 Fingers Louie - Thank You For Being A Friend - Better than take back the streets, not as good as behind bars. Dennis' voice has aged very well.
6. Daniel Romano - Modern Pressure - My favourite post Attack in Black Lp from any of the members. 
7. The Flatliners - Inviting Light - It took me two years to truly appreciate Dead Language. Hope that happens here. Weird production. 
8. Blink 182 - California Deluxe - Not a Blink 182 fan but there are some serious good tunes across the double LP that make for a really decent single LP playlist. Matt hasn't screamed this much since Good Mourning. Too many whoas and na na nas though.
9. Sincere Engineer - Rhombithian
10. Hot Water Music - Light It Up - pretty disappointing for HWM, still better than most stuff out there

People are planning to buy this album?  

Well, its obvious how the meeting with the execs went ahead of this album....
 
"Taylor, we're going to darken your image like Britney on toxicity."
 
Does anyone really believe this is a natural artistic progression from Taylor Swift's musical roots?

How much did you get for yours?

Thinking about just buying the CD for $8.99 at Best Buy and returning all of my preorders, at this point. 
But seriously, I'm super jealous of those of you who copped some and have them in hand now. I gotta keep waiting till Monday, Tuesday, or beyond. Possibly 2027 for the super-extra-very limited version.

You can keep a copy, you don't have to keep buying and selling it.

Finally listened to this album. I've been a fan of the band since Deja came out. Every time they release a new album I'm shocked with how different is sounds than the previous ones, but am impressed. But unfortunately this one does nothing for me. Had a hard time even getting through it I was so bored. I will never choose this album when I'm in the mood to listen to Brand New. 

Hide yo wife

Slept like a baby last night too. Thanks though I know it'll be bad... almost as bad as this new Tswift album.

All the "rich kids" in middle school had these in their packed lunch. I ate my free lunch while watching in envy.

"not associated"

.... where do you think they got our names and addresses from? google?
 

I'm gonna take the taoist approach with the CD and have no expectations, that way I cannot be disappointed
 
There are times I want to sell things like these, I too could use an extra $300, but the times I have I've often regretted it later, once that money is gone. I can earn money other ways, I can't produce another collectible from one of my favorite bands in other ways. 

You could say that; more instrumental/acoustic.
 
1989 was awful and the attempt of taking a pop song and sprinkling in Kendrick Lamar doesn't work.
Hot take: Speak Now is peak Tswift.

More than happy with indie version here. I'm by no means a Brand New fanboy though. Still don't dig Daisy and this album is still only good in my opinion. Someday I may grab Daisy just so I've got all of them, but that's way down the line.

"Hi Eros, I am yet to confirm with the label. We were originally allocated 500 of the white LP. We have since been advised we will be getting another 300 more. Our total we will be selling is 800. Im assuming it will be limited to 1000 however we need to confirm with the label and it may take some time to get an answer. Thank you for your patience." 
             

Daisy wasn't anywhere near the same level of TDAG, and the reception of IIAN, etc. was lukewarm at absolute best.  I think it's easy to see why so many people assumed they lost the spark.
