Clear copies are back up. Or at least a few.

First Press: 333 - Opaque Grey 695 - Opaque Blue 1145 - White

One of these things is not like the other...

Good eye; I didn't bother to zoom in on the photos, but I can see what you're talking about it. I'm still confused as to why the sticker on the wrap distinctly reads "Clear Vinyl", though. Did the seller swap the record with a different sleeve? Or do both the clear and clear-white bear the same sticker? I just checked my clear copy, and for what it's worth, it's #1305. I don't know about any patterns with the variants in correlation to the #, but I figured it was worth mentioning.

The sticker is even clear on that one, to thwart any skepticism. Has the quest finally come to its conclusion?

The Used were a staple to the soundtrack of my high-school days. Many drives and good times were shared with that self-titled debut, and even In Love & Death. To this day, I can still call those albums solid pop-rock/punk/whatever. I enjoy them, if not solely as guilty pleasures, I guess. But LFTL is atrocious. A poor effort, even by The Used's standards. Like Toki said... when it was released, I struggled to get through one play of the album. My roommate at the time, however, was more than okay with playing it frequently. Too frequently. It's just a poorly written, forgettable record... and I'm struggling to believe that anyone would go out of their way to collect all the variants of it. I guess that's where the humor lies, for me. But by all means, to each his own.

$15 is a little steep for four songs, but I'm a sucker for this band. The collection continues.

Where to begin?

Is this thread really happening? was my initial thought after the first four or five posts.. but I figured it'd be rude to post it so prematurely. Seeing this thread break two pages, I now feel it's justified. I know opinions are subjective, but why? Why this record?

RSD retailers will have an exclusive variant, but all the other copies will be made available through Topshelf. That's what I'm understanding, at least.

I know it's been said multiple times and rumored for a while, but there's been frequent mention of a S/T and [eventual] ATEBTS repress. Just food for thought.

First press is indeed out of 500, from what I've read. I also dig this cover, and can't wait to see what kind of variants it may be pressed on.

There are a handful of practical options you could have explored, were these ordinary LPs... But things get complicated when we're talking about Hammock records.

Absolutely what I was thinking.

Bump for good tastes. I'd grab an item or two if I wasn't so broke. And if shipping wouldn't kill.

I actually have no idea. I'm just razzing you. Sorry.

If you're looking for just "more bags" you're clearly in the wrong place. Go Blake or go home.

I'm always torn between Brother, Sister and CFUTF, whenever I'm asked about my favorite mwY album. I can never seem to decide. I feel like it fluctuates with my mood and how frequently I've been spinning the other.

Any word or idea of what color variant that may be on?

My favorite new member so far. +1

Elaboration please?

I'm guessing /500 all. That would be logical. That blue/sky one looks so awesome. One could hope; that sounds perfect. I just wonder how DW would do their usual 300/700/1,000 pre-order. Is a dropdown selection totally out of question?

I wonder what the pressing info or options will be. Would love to be able to select (a blue).

I'd actually argue that flippers love VC. It rattles my brain to see how many limited, hush-hush Hot Topic represses get thrown onto eBay within 24 hours of sale. To leaf through countless listings and think that all those assholes are monitoring VC for specific dates and times... it's crazy.

Blueneck's discography is beautifully, epically depressing.
