Worth checking back over the next hour. I'm pruning anyone who tried to do anything shady.

What plates are AOCTW pressed from? Have they been remastered or anything or just the OG?

I assume so. It doesn't have the hifi hype sticker and no mention of Kevin's name or "audiophile" but it has the same runout as this version.

For some dumb reason I sold the black 180g first run of this for $30. No idea why I would do that. Now here I am chasing a lesser version.

Is this also a "src audiophile" master by Kevin Gray?

My ranking would be Funeral > Suburbs >>> Neon Bible > Everything Now >>> Reflektor

This song definitely sounds more like the first 3 albums which is SUPER encouraging and somewhat unexpected.

I didn’t love Reflektor at first then Porno randomly came up on shuffle and I heard it in a new way. Then I listened to the whole album with a new perspective. I hope I come around on this. I’m open to it. 
 

NB > Funeral > Burbs/Reflektor >>> EN

Reflektor was/is awesome. Everything Now was/is a snore. This sounds like they're trying to be The War On Drugs who sound like they're trying be every Petty/Springsteen song all at once.

I wasn’t going to at first, but the colors are pretty awesome and the price for two records to the US wasn’t terrible, I think $33 a piece, which is less than stuff from Newbury at times…

Same. I just got the 1234 Go Exclusive but that blue and yellow is such a great variant.

Just waiting for that Shoot The Moon drop...

Ugh I hope not. I have that box and double dipped on this new version.

I doubt it since it's a completely different label.... having said that, the differences will be very minimal if noticeable at all (other than a label logo)

Interesting developments...

It would be $27 with shipping though

Haha. Shipping IS $12. Just checked to see if you were being hyperbolic.

I think it's very funny that big labels are now starting to put an eco-friendly marketing spin on the same recycled vinyl option that punk labels have been using to save money for the past, oh, 20 years. I wanna say Ed Sheeran just did the same thing?

Why is it funny?

2nd pressing announced. Run of 500 on black.

Is this band "alex is on fire" or "alexis on fire"?

Its mostly an assumption but the fact that the plants are backed up especially for popular titles to be repressed seems to logically follow that since a major component of RSD as an organization is keeping physical media flowing to stores and knowing that record stores are waiting for titles to be repressed or pressed for the first instance to carry the media, I made a non-scientific critique about why a bootleg would be getting profiled on the RSD site.

 

The reality that this assumption is based on is that, according to record store owners and staff that I know and talk, the plants are backed up and the stores are waiting for major and minor titles to be back in supply again or in supply for the first time.

There was a long article about plants being backed up in sundays NYT. I know plants are backed up because more people are pressing records but I haven't seen or noticed any lack of records in the stores I go to so that's why I asked.

I'm guessing the real reason this showed up on the rsd site is because the label is simply vinyl, which at one time was a real label doing represses but now it is a different label ran by bootleggers under the same name (as told to me on reddit).

So database/clerical error, not desperation by rsd is my hunch.

not enough records are being produced to meet the demand of keeping retail outlets full of product to sell.

Is this a joke? Where are you getting this news?

Was able to use code THANKS10 to get this to $35.xx shipped.

Listed as an Italian import. Interesting.

Looks legit.

I know everyone is waiting for machina, but I'm here waiting for Zwan & Solo LP.

Went to both tours and loved that era.

Machina and Zwan are the last two I'm waiting for. I'll take them in any order though. MSOTS is a great record.

I check out about every 3rd eels record. I'm due on this one. I dig the single....

...However, I'm starting to learn my lesson with busting out the wallet when I "dig the single".

Am I the only one who just cares about the music? I am a strong believer that art is separate from the artist. I don't listen to Ryan Adams' music or anyone else's music for that matter because I like and/or dislike the artist behind it. I listen to it for the ART. 

 

Clearly, everyone here isn't even arguing about his art/music. They're arguing about HIM. Who gives a shit about what the fuck this dude does in his personal life. I didn't care before and I don't care now. Again, that's not why I listen to his or anyone else's music. 

 

What are you guys doing before you check out a new artist?? Going to their wiki page or digging deep to try to figure out if they are a good enough person in their personal life so that you can feel better about listening to their music or enjoying their art??? Are you?? No - didn't think so. 

 

Hopefully I can check back on this thread and it's for a pre-order link for Blackhole. 

We all have a different line of what an artist does in their personal life where it overshadows the art. That doesn't mean you research everything about an artist before deciding to listen but if something comes to light, it's up to you if that is something you can set aside while enjoying the art. 

Sometimes that happens before you listen. For example, Charles Manson has a record out. Will you support that art knowing what you know? If tomorrow you found out Ryan Adams was a child murderer, could you still listen to the art? It's your line to draw and the line is wavy. For music you really love, your tolerance is higher and if your introduction to an artist is that they're an awful human being, it's easier to dismiss.

I too separate the art from the artist but I'm not going to pretend that there's nothing the artist can do in their personal life that will ruin art I once enjoyed. Knowing what I know now, Cold Roses still reminds me of a great time in my life. If Ryan Adams collected skulls of kids he murdered, I would no longer enjoy Cold Roses in the same way I do now.

There are now 825 of each available...looks like they didn't initially press enough, referring to the CDs, at least. I suspect the vinyl will sell out at some point soon though.

You're probably right but by other limited variant standards, they are very easily available for a long period of time.

Surprised the alternate covers and signed CDs (limited to 625 each) are still available...especially with the randomly inserted color variant thing-y.

I'm surprised they pressed so many

I had high hopes for these but I didn't end up getting anything. I was hoping for things more along the lines of their Counting Crows or Fleetwood Mac Tusk exclusives. Was still fun! Hope they do it again!
