Was able to grab Floyd, Arcade Fire, the Sundays, and Wire 7" box, which I'm currently spinning and man this thing jammmms. Never heard 'em so full and punchy.  Almost put it back due to the kinda steep price, glad I didn't.

We don't know yet. Only Optiganally Yours - O.Y. in Hi-Fi has been released so far. Albums are being released digitally once per month on the 15th, March through November, with the physical box set to follow in November.

Cool, thanks for the info.

So what single was released from Pinback in this set?  Hoping someone can do a rip at some point. Or ship it to me and I'll do one for everyone! Could prove a good track record with ripping vinyl and buying/selling, and I'd pay both shipping to me and back to you. Any takers?

Looking for one in NM-M condition. Thanks.

Sold to an instagrammer.

PM me with offers. Will ship safely and securely. I will be taking lower than Discogs prices. I have a personal copy as well and can tell you, this thing sounds incredible. Might be the best sounding pressing I own.

there's a Urban Outfitters pressing out soon if you knew about it.

Ah cool, saw that pressing on Discogs and thought it came and went, didn't realize it was a future release. Are they not going to be in stores? I've been screwed by UO shipping before. They threw it in a black bag and shipped it.

Let me know if ya got one.

Chill, bro.  Did I try to get the label to not press this?  Maybe you're a fan of Golbincock (the band, not the activity, but you do you) and Rob's other joke bands, but I'm not going to pay $15 an LP for them.

This seems like a waste of $150.

I don't think you get to decide that for everybody.

My crosley is great. Modded it to hook up to a tube amp and my Sonos home bluetooth setup and I seriously am getting the highest highs and lowest lows. My 200 gram 45rpm Pet Sounds totally kills it on my rig.

So, is this a new cut? or is it the same?

It's the same. But my copy sounds cleaner and clearer, low noise floor. Sometimes something as little as the temp of the press can affect the sound, so maybe they did it more accurately with these.

Understood, I guess that advice wasn't to you specifically, it just pains me a bit when I hear people same something similar to that.

 

I get that it's touchy for some but man what a awful choice.

I think it also depends on the individual. Maybe it's a high school kid without any real expenses, who has 30 bucks burning a hole in his pocket and can either spend it on this or to go out with some friends and drink soda pops and go roller skating at the roller disco this weekend. Or, maybe he wants to buy some weed. Who cares. I'm not his mom.

Just now, JustSchwimmer said:

I say this in a very respectful way, if you can't afford it now you can't afford it on payday. Don't live paycheck to paycheck buying fucking records, it isn't worth it I promise. 

I don't, but some people probably do. Not my job to give them financial advice. But yes that would be silly.

There are some very objective reasons why to worry about pressing quantity/scarcity. If something like this was 2500 copies, when it's gone, your only options will be eBay or Discogs for triple the original cost. People were already listing them for $100 when they were taken off the website. Never_Has_Enough_Records is trying to decide if he should spend $30 on it now in case it won't be available later. Maybe he wants to wait until payday. Macho Man must have unlimited funds and never have to make buying decisions based on cost.

Any idea how many were made? I'm so torn as to whether I should grab one or not. 

No idea, but if you had buyer's remorse, I'm sure someone here would take it for cost, especially when they're gone.

Not sold out from the site just yet: https://boniver.org/store/14266/limited-edition-for-emma-forever-ago-lp-us

Ah, they had been as of yesterday. They probably took it off the website to see how many got purchased at the show, and leftovers are back up now. I have a feeling these won't last super long.

Link for the lazy:

Prices include shipping in US. All these are NM unless otherwise noted. I believe all of these are priced under Discogs/Ebay prices.

Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American - 150g black - Signed by band in silver paintpen (looks awesome) - $120  

Photo:

* Note the little dotted-line at the top, the print was torn off weirdly in that spot because an album in one of those sleeves with the sticky flap was pressed up against it then moved. I bet you could color it in a bit with the right blue marker, but I'll leave as is for now.

I also have a copy of Clarity by JEW, signed in the same silver paint-pen. Same price.

The Sundays - Blind - RSD 2017 pressing, brown vinyl - $90  
(note: no off-center label or warping as some others had. Sounds great.)  
 
Tigers Jaw - S/T - cream colored - $25  
 
Spritualized - Ladies And Gentlemen... - 180g black - $27  
 
Jackson C. Frank - S/T - 4 Men With Beards pressing - $60

Half-Japanese - Greatest Hits - 3xLP blue vinyl - $40  
(this one is actually not NM. It is cosmetically, but has some light crackling throughout. I'd say it doesn't overpower the music, though.)
 
Radiohead - The King of Limbs - 2x10" Limited deluxe/newspaper edition - $50 SOLD

Placebo - Without You I'm Nothing - ltd. yellow vinyl - $40

Anyone listen to his most recent appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast? Fascinating dude. A lot of really insightful conversation, and it was funny to hear him make drool sounds when talking about cheese and wine (he owns a vineyard) and discuss taking his Yorkie puppy on airplanes as an emotional support dog because he doesn't want to pay extra for it, lol.
