    I think the vinyl industry as a whole would flow a lot more fluidly if they based all their order availability off of whether or not miracleandwonder is in the know.

    Well look at all the people who are already talking about buying bootlegs.   Kinda foolish to throw $40 away on a counterfeit pressing only to get an official release of it announced as soon as you parted with your cash on that.   Ya think differently?

     

    God forbid I dare want to find a message board I can actually be a part of, being too young for Steve Hoffman (I enjoy The Beatles but I also don't think music freeze-framed and ended the second they broke up) and not liking enough cheesepop tween nonsense for ATRL/UKMix.  Reminds me why I hate message boards,  but yes... I have been checking on a daily freaking basis to see if any news has surfaced, and I already see a lot of people on this thread already ready to go the bootleg route even though the album has been out for a whole four days.... after albums like Lemonade (which i think it's a joke some of the pop nonsense that got a LP release but not this Beyonce album tailor-made for the demo who supports vinyl) and others, you can't take a vinyl announcement for granted.

    The reason why is because he can pretty much work on the music up until a couple of days before release, and also so no leaks occur. When vinyl drops on release it'll be in people's hands way before the release date so they can rip it online several days or weeks prior. Take a Look at the Mac Demarco release, it leaked almost a month away from the release date.

    I think the real problem is that a lot of times if we don't see a vinyl release date set right after release, usually it ends up being forgotten and put on the backburner.   Two perfect examples I can think of are Blond and Lemonade, both albums I would've snatched up on vinyl but for some reason vinyl releases never came (well, I know Blond was available for like six hours but if you missed that window, you were SOL).     

  3. Still trying to get Panic repressed but not the others you mentioned

    Hopefully you can push for the Garbage albums too.   I admittedly have never been that big on Panic, FOB, Blink, Good Charlotte and the sort, but I could see a Garbage colored vinyl reissue and I'd be all up on those first two albums.

     

    BTW, I hope we get more Joan Jett in the future, the Bad Reputation one is a beauty.   I'd love to see Sinner get a colored repress.

  4. I know I'm in the minority but I like the album.

     

    I really do hope that more of their 90s and 00's stuff gets reissued on vinyl.

     

    I know we have that uber-expensive Achtung vinyl box set, but I'd love a simple 180g version for $20-30 or so without the box set frills.   I doubt we'll ever see Zooropa or Pop reissued though, but All That You Can't Leave Behind may come out one day again.

  5. Ordering the 10" from Amazon UK because I don't feel like dealing with it being sold out on Black Friday.    Have pretty much every Bowie album on vinyl except for Black Tie White Noise (hard to get), Buddha Of Suburbia (never released) and Hours (never released), and those albums will likely eventually get a Music On Vinyl issue so I'm not worried, so the 10" with the b-side makes more sense and will be cheaper than buying a bunch of songs I already own.

  6.  I think the main impediment for R&B is that new vinyl is predominantly white sales (I'm basing this on nothing, but if you look at the best selling LPs of 2013, it's hard to disagree that it's a pretty white bunch) and R&B is predominantly listened to by black audiences, so it's not the smartest business decision.

     

    That is true, but a lot of these r&b and hip hop artists have huge white followings too, at least the biggest ones.   Kanye for example is usually booked at Bonnaroo, a festival that probably attracts a 90% white/non-African American audience, and of course Yeezus was raved about on Pitchfork, Spin, NME and the sort, websites largely geared to a white, alternative listening audience... so why didn;t Yeezus get a vinyl release?  (I don't like Kanye, but still).   I mean, if Taylor Swift's albums are getting released on vinyl, someone who is pretty much scorned and laughed at by "hipster" type people, why not put Kanye or Beyonce's stuff on vinyl.  I'd even argue there was more demand for Miley Cyrus' last album on vinyl than Taylor's album.     The majority of r&b I like is from the 70s and 80s and the modern stuff I like is usually given the dreaded PBR&B tag (Blood Orange, Sharon Jones, Mayer Hawthorne...) but at least those artists are given regular vinyl releases, while the mainstream stuff seems to be 1 in 10.

  7. Not a big fan of hers but I never understood why they quit releasing her stuff on vinyl to begin with.    Her first two albums had LP releases, but then I Am Sasha Fierce and 4 didn't... which baffled me especially since vinyl was becoming more commonplace again come 2008 and especially 2011.   Even this album took seven months before a vinyl issue.    I don't understand the delay and why two of her albums were bypassed on vinyl, especially considering how big IASF was.

     

    I notice this is a general trend with a lot of r&b artists who were seeing regular vinyl releases in the early/mid 00's but somehow as vinyl got more popular saw their releases largely come to an abrupt stop on the format... see also Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, Robin Thicke (who had vinyl releases of some of his lower selling albums in the late 00s but his biggest hit last year didn't get a vinyl issue), Rihanna, etc...    You would think the rise in vinyl sales would've translated to their albums continuing to be released on such a format, especially in the cases of artists like Mariah and Mary who had been dropping albums since the early 90s when the format was initially dying off in the mainstream and saw all their albums get LP issues during those wilderness years for the format but suddenly when the vinyl format began to get more acceptance again suddenly saw their albums no longer released.
