Real estate. Unless you sell out of every record and every variant, you’re going to have lots of back inventory, which requires space. As mentioned in the Topshelf announce, they had their own place but realtors wanted to gouge them and increase rent 32%.
 
Mike Park does it out of his Moms house and does small presses because he can’t have 5K records floating around at a time. Other labels like Lauren Records do it out of their houses. It’s basically one of two methods. House or gamble on renting a place.
 
The other factor is staffing. You might have days where you get 5 orders, so you’d have to have multi-discipline staff that can then go spend the other 7 hours of their day doing something else label related. Otherwise you’re either paying too much orrr you end up bringing in people just for a new pre-order rush, which leads to people not knowing how to pack records, etc. Then you get complaints and no one buys from you anymore, etc. Hard balance.

Keith's new band is apparently filming a music video on October 1st on long island....how amazing would it be if Ben Weinman was in it?! lmfao.  It would be so on-brand for all these guys. 

Check clearance racks at Walmart. Picked this up for $3 over the weekend. 

Price aside the fact they launched these together is a big plusand very customer friendly. More labels should do this instead of pre-orders a week apart...

Oh yeah, forgot about that. Honestly still like Zia more now though. Have exclusives that aren’t marked up like BV/HardTimes/Newburry, closer to my house so ships faster.

Lol. Was curious what the QR code on his guitar was during the video. It just Rick Rolls you saying 'You're welcome -'68". It also has a "Learn More" button that takes you to their IG.

Only way to settle this is whoever has the hotter wife
Pics please

The pink blob Brooklynvegan variant looks pretty cool too, but what are the odds it actually looks like that? I can see this one being severely underwhelming

Grabbed the quad, thanks. I had an older Gold pressing and sold it. Lowest price on Discogs right now is $45 for a black copy, and $50 after that. Was patiently waiting for this.

Besides the price of this record, I need to rant about this somewhere.  Did every single band agree to release music today? I was pulling an all nighter last night and my YT was flooded.
At least just from pure YT, I got:
the Callous Daoboys
The Word Alive
Beartooth
Spiritbox
DGD
Asking Alexandria
TDWP has some remix.
+ All the others bands that already had planned releases today.

Right? That’s the funny part about FoH. They are very much pushing the limits of how much their fans can pay attention to everything between all their side projects and collabs ha. I like it, but get that it might not be for everyone.

Nice. I know I saw that as the second one bouncing around in comments.

It's a split with GASP. Australia has it streaming now.

Probably the best way to go.  There’s no way they don’t do another pressing at some point, especially with how fast this sold out.

New Full of Hell release goes live Friday at 12 PM EST. One time pressing.

Feel even worse for @N8TRUnow. Just listened to my copy and it sounds pretty good. None of the noticeable hissing he brought up. Actually pretty quiet. I haven’t listened to the original in a long time. Mix sounds alright. C+ to B- quality.

Listening to the green from Sharptone today. Mucccccch better than the src version. Sounds pretty good honestly. Loud parts are loud, quiet parts are quiet. Honestly a good example of what vinyl is supposed to sound like and not just “it’s on par with the digital.”

Just resend the picture and tell them its already destroyed 🤣

having a quasi-religious experience here 

 

DEEP10 discount code for 10% off too. Under $35 shipped vs the prices elsewhere is still not amazing, but wayyyyyy better.

I mean is it blasphemy to say I’ve never liked a single Counterparts record? I can’t tell a single song apart.

I've been saying this for years. Thank you. Dude was a massive pissbaby about no one liking their Slam Dunk set and I thought "maybe it's not just me thinking this..." But I dig END.

Lol whoops. I had a training thing for work and missed it myself. Had it in my cart and almost checked out but it sold out.
 
Imagine they have another 250 hanging out though. Don’t think they’ve done so few in recent presses.
 
EDIT: refreshed and it was back in stock.
