neither one of my stores had a copy, if anyone could grab me one I'd pay for cost, shipping, and some extra for the trouble. Thanks .

Yeah, I would also really appreciate it if someone could grab me a copy. Hit me up if you can help! Thanks.

Checked all of my local stores within 50 miles and none have it in yet. Should stay around for a while, though. I wouldn't imagine it being in too high of demand. Especially if MTTS was so easy to get.

Would never happen in an Aquabats thread.

I just want you to know that you have an incredible username. One of my top 5 albums of all time.

haha thanks man. Definitely a great album, obviously up there pretty high on my list as well.

Hopefully this was pressed with new plates... That would be truly amazing. Either way, I'm gonna have to get it to match all my other splatter variants now. hah

Well, I was exaggerating in order to make a point about the Born Like This reissue.

Some retail sites are saying that DangerDoom is 180gm. I emailed them with a complaint about damage, and while I was at it I asked them why they pressed the discs so thin.

Their response: "The vinyl stock used on DANGERDOOM is 140gm. This is considered a “heavy" weight vinyl."

Complete bullshit.

Yeah, that's definitely a bullshit claim on their end. It's kinda weird that they'd invest so much effort in the packaging, then cut a corner like that on the media it's self...

That said, I don't really understand the hype behind 180g discs anyway. It's usually just another reason to charge more for a reissue, which is weird that Lex didn't just use it. I can have an "audiophile quality" album pressed on 120g vinyl that sounds better than 180g and vise versa, obviously. My point is that the weight of the vinyl has nothing to do with the sound quality.

I'm cool with this reissue, I've wanted this album on vinyl for quite some time. Looking forward to hearing if this will be available in the US later on or if I'm gonna have to preorder from Lex. 

The most recent release of Mouse and the Mask was on pretty thin vinyl but it still sounded great... I didn't know that they'd claimed it was 200g, where did that come from? I was, overall, very happy with the release despite the price being about $5 (not that much) more than a typical new 2LP reissue would normally be. I can live with that since the packaging was awesome.

Guys, can we please lay off on making jokes about HT, ETR, and SRC?  

 

Don't make one of us become the official unrelenting defender of much-maligned pop punk and nostalgia labels.  

Yeah, I agree with this. I, for one, am extremely thankful that Hot Topic (and others) has made it possible for me to own some of my favorite releases on vinyl where I otherwise wouldn't have been able to afford and/or choose not to pay the extremely inflated prices on the secondary market. This thread, in particular, has been crucial for me, allowing me to know via email notifications, exactly when a reissue is happening so I can call my local store and have them hold for pickup.

I have a copy of +44 - When Your Heart Stops Beating on blue/white marble vinyl that I'd like to trade for a copy of the Social Network OST. If anyone is interested, please shoot me a PM. Thanks! I'm open to offers (discogs link is in my sig) so feel free to get at me.
