I'm way with you in the first half. This isn't for me, but im glad whoever likes it does. The issue with the second half of what you said is they'd have to make it able to scan matrices and etchings to actually be accurate for most older pressings, which would be terribly hard. As someone who has taken the time to go through and carefully and accurately catalogue 90+% of my collection...it's time consuming, but a worthwhile endeavor. I can't be put out to add any of my weird old Korean, Japanese, and Chinese records that have no entries on discogs though, so it will never be complete.

Graveface put out a cassette version of Sagarmatha for Black Friday RSD to go along with their vinyl re-issue. https://graveface.bandcamp.com/album/sagarmatha?mc_cid=1351fdcb0a&mc_eid=b012045a2b They've also put out tape copies of Peregrine, Two Conversations, and Illumination Ritual.

Ah, right. The argument that because worse things are going on in the world another shitty thing doesn't matter. Gotta love that old chestnut. More than one thing can suck at a time. And suggesting someone give up a hobby they've been involved with for 18 years because they voiced an opinion you appqrently disagree with? Seems like you're super stable and fun to be around.

I'm quite familiar with Fantastic Planet, and Failure as a band. I've said it before and I'll say it again, aftermarket prices should have no effect on a new pressing of a release. If that were the case you'd be paying ridiculous prices for most represses that have been OOP for a while.

$50 is steep for any of these. I'm not sure when $50 2xLPs became acceptable to people, but I hate it. Not even The Weeknd, who is notorious for high priced vinyl, has had the gall to cross that threshold yet, and just because this is a band people here like doesn't mean this is a good price. There is nothing extra here to differentiate this from other bands/labels putting out gatefold 2xLPs for $30.

I know that feeling. I need to have a garage sale next summer and get rid of a bunch of stuff.

It feels like we used to have this thread, but all I can find anymore is the (band or label only) one or whatever it's called. Here's mine. I actually have a solid number stuck in that closet as well, but I'm not about to drag them out of them our.

Sure, or course. The other option is not to do either obviously, and hopefully that drives the price down rather than paying artificially inflated prices and encouraging it across the board for other releases. Whatever you do is up to you, we can all only do our best in any endeavor, and that differs for everyone.

Not a huge deal, but if you buy this it just means you're part of the problem causing this.

Yeah, I enjoyed it as much as most stuff lately. Liked it better than the new Taylor Swift at least.

You have so many 10" that it's hard for you to decipher which is which in alphabetical order? Like...yeah, sucks that it isn't on there but I think you're making it a bigger deal than it is. I have 2000+ records and literally 15 of them are 10"

Yyyyyyyikes. Missed this by a while, but kind of glad since I likely would have passed at $40 shipped anyway. Wow.

So...wow. Stopped by Walmart today and bought a bunch of stuff I didn't expect to. Garage Inc, Load, Reload, Jagged Little Pill, Sour, and Man In The Moon 3 for $15 each. Never would have probably gotten most of those if they were more than $15, but still sweet.

It can be if you know how to read.

Mine actually had one inside, and one packed with...I'm wondering if there is an error on the inside one but haven't checked yet.

Grabbed some missing classics from Walmart: Zep1, A Night At The Opera, Holy Diver, Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magick. Miss me with those affiliate links though.

You're probably right about nobody caring, it just seems like people are weirdly afraid to post new threads about new releases lately and look up old or unrelated threads from a related band to say something about it. It can definitely be frustrating when someone starts a new thread for a rerelease of something that already has a thread, but I think it would be even more frustrating to miss out on something because it only got a mention in some other thread.

Stuff like this really deserves its own thread. I'm not into it, but people may miss it if it's just buried in here.

It's genuinely wild. I occasionally "get into it" with people over there about pricing stuff. As someone who has been collecting records for 18 years I've seen prices increase steadily over that time, but anything over $25 for a single LP is high. $20 pre-shipping for a single LP is about my limit for saying, "Oh, that's pretty reasonable."

It wasn't $25 though, it was $27.50 each! That's crazy! Direct from the band does feel better, and I went for it, but still...poor pricing that people frame as ok.

I'm stoked about these releases. Really the only MxPx stuff I need. That said, folks on reddit were acting like these were phenomenally priced, and while they're decent for recent pricing. They're still over $25 for single LPs which...isn't great. I donno. Just wanted to vent about that a little. Amped to get these as I've been diving back into skatepunk type stuff lately.

Could be possible they just licensed the old artwork instead of buying it outright for use and that license expired, or they agreed to pay the artist a percentage cut of sales when the artwork is used and figured out they could do it cheaper this way. I've seen the latter happen before with M:tG cards.

There's a lot about that collection I don't really get. Variant collecting, a bunch of pretty much the same variant, bootlegs...but to each their own I guess.

Huh. Forgot about this, got all 3 in the variants I preferred with no issue though. A little steep price-wise, but whatever.

Unfortunately since people can't delete their posts, just posting that doesn't help any more. You need to tag a mod and ask them to move it. (I already did)
