Boom. Reasonable pricing. Good post, man!

Nice! I have an old copy of Underachievers but I've been waiting for Let's Get Out Of This Country!

Those buyers are mostly short timers or infrequent buyers though. There are a ton of people on this board alone who are probably going to buy this at that ridiculous price and it's straight up price gouging.
 
If Deathwish, RFC, Polyvinyl, etc can sell single LPs for $25 or less (or even better Dischord at $18), a major label printing more copies can obviously do it for less.
It just seems silly to me to normalize" this the way you did by saying, "well, thems the breaks," when someone acknowledges the outrageous price. How are people new to the hobby going to learn if no one teaches them?

It's incredibly rare that I pay $30 for any single LP anymore. If people stopped buying shit and just accepting it as the "new standard" prices would regress. That's how capitalism works. Vote with your wallet. Buy from smaller labels.

Limited to 300, looks like it's selling pretty fast. Clear w/ pink smoke, out June 9ish.
 
$18 + shipping, about 30 minutes of music. Not tooooo too terribly priced.

I love when these discussions come up and everyone wants to chime in without doing the bare minimum research about vinyl and record production.
 
Records are made from PVC. It's naturally colorless.
 
To make black vinyl, carbon is added. In addition to the black coloration, carbon adds strength...because it's carbon.
 
Colored vinyl has added dyes to color it, but no carbon, so it is colorful, has impurities and does not get the added strength black gets from carbon.
 
Clear, being the base form of PVC is technically the purest, but can has two diasadvantages to black vinyl: no added strength from carbon, and it is harder to visually quality check due to the color.
 
To get a solidly white record a lot of dye has to be added to the PVC, making it often more impure and prone to defect.

I mean, adding carbon for hardness/rigidity is basic chemistry, and adding other substances to a pure substance making it less pure is also basic chemistry. As for PVC being clear in its natural state, that's basic observation.
 
Ask yourself what is the hardest known substance in the world. Diamond, right? And what are diamonds made of? You guessed it, carbon.
 
If every pressing plant FAQ says the same thing regarding processes and it matches what I've learn in basic science education I tend to believe it. I suppose you could apply the same "it takes a lot of white dye" principal to any opaque colored vinyl besides black, but when it comes to color theory it typically takes more white in any mix than it does other colors.
 
My original post wasn't directed specifically at you, if that matters at all.

Never had any problems with clear, and that's what I typically buy if its available. I avoid glow in the dark usually though as I typically just don't like the look, so I'm no help there.

Honestly I think this is just because of the language barrier. Germans are... a bit more direct than Americans, generally speaking.
This dude's welcome to stay on the forum if he plans on contributing, and not just bumping his own thread as if VC is his personal Facebook page or something.

Digging it. I'll have to check out some of their other stuff. Does any of their stuff have vocals?

With you. I saw that this was coming out and was pretty amped. Then I remembered there was another album that came out that I didn't give a hoot about between RtR and this.

The fourth leg on the early emo table of Rites of Spring, Moss Icon, and Cap’n Jazz, Indian Summer’s Giving Birth To Thunder compiles their complete discography. Emo’s second wave crashed into the Bay Area in the summer of 1994 in a rage-filled capsule of quiet and loud, octave chords, angry sons, Spock haircuts, and screaming. At the eye of this pissed-for-the-hell-of-it storm were Indian Summer. In the quartet’s 12-month existence they wrote ten songs, appeared on half a dozen singles and comps, and played over 100 gigs across the U.S. and Canada before burning out, passing out, and moving out of their Blue House in Oakland. Their hand-screened aesthetic is replicated in alarming detail in the accompanying by 28-page book with detailed liner notes, flyers, and miscellaneous propaganda.

My want list is so obscure at this point the scammers won’t even bother with anything in there, but I appreciate knowing this is going on. 

I think most of these have been deserving of their own threads, honestly.

Yeah, I don't know why the catch-all stuff became so popular on here. Like I get it for local stuff that not many people know/care about and that won't sell out super quick, but a lot of these numero presses are big deals or people have been waiting a long time for them. It would just suck to miss out because it didn't get its own thread.
 
I'm pretty anti-catchall these days.

I had kind of forgotten there were even any allegations too honestly, and it looks to me like:
 
Dude who hasn't grow up gets drunk and acts like a teenager, sends some unsolicited nudes to another adult, situation gets blown out of proportion.
 
I never want to minimize the harm anyone may have experienced, but this sounds like something that happens literally all the time to people, and while it sucks it became more of a big deal because of who Chris is.

Guys.  There is no need to critique perfection here.  OP has an answer for every possible suggestion or question on this airtight system that’s been set up.
Can we get back on topic and marvel at these coveted gems that are being shown off?

You could be right, but I don't remember ever reading anything about the fan being underage.

Not trying to br a jerk or push you one way or another, but the only field I see there not covered by discogs is "vox: male." Every other field is almost identical.
