I got one but a quarter of them were sold before doors opened

Well, this person has 9 of them, might be able to pick one up, could be way more I suppose https://www.ebay.com/itm/ANGEL-DU-T-YAK-A-COLLECTION-OF-TRUCK-SONGS-LIMITED-EDITION-BD-VINYL-1-100-/154602636774?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0

I had it in cart but it was labeled pink and waffled on actually purchasing, oh well

I imagine this is becoming more of a trend because USPS is beating the hell out of records anymore. Ever since they did their restructure in 2020 it seems like there’s been a substantial uptick in damaged records. Mostly anecdotal but with low pressing counts etc if they don’t have enough overstock you’ve got complaining, refunds, or even reshipment fees. Filing claims with USPS takes a bit too so I’d assume a lot of these labels said screw it and only offer priority to mitigate this

Throwing my name in the hat for anyone that got a cloud and might want to unload it. I’ve got a Pink I’ll trade and drop dime on the Cloud in addtn

The wording is weird but they mean it was announced through a physical billboard “After 2018's Time & Space and recent EP TurnstileLove Connection, Turnstile announced their new full-length album, GLOW ON, via billboard. The album will be released August 27th.” https://www.instagram.com/p/CRO0YP2rdBR/?utm_medium=copy_link

I think they mean it was announced off of a physical billboard

Damn they put it up early, missed the cloud, just went with Pink, would rather have the matching artwork. Fuck

This has the two addtl variants in photo

Got a pink and yellow version, wish I had been awake to grab the black and white. Can’t wait to listen to it

Lmao they’re losing it

Also major props to them for pricing this at $19.99 vs $30 which they easily could have

Went with a tangerine in light blue, I always lean towards matching the whole album artwork over the lower press #

Most limited is least appealing /300 -contrast looks beautiful /500 -aesthetic with album art /200 - ok but would have been a home run if they replaced magenta with tangerine

Trying to find a copy of Green Day - Woodstock 94 RSD release for ~$40

I don’t think it sounds great from the clips and two songs they posted. Certainly understandable, they’re doing this remotely. Bought it to support them but suspect it’s not going to have staying power

Yeah I’m aware, the link on their site for indie variant doesn’t actually show the mock up

Their twitter vid shows the Tan opaque variant and a Green/Smoke variant that I don’t see available anywhere at the moment https://twitter.com/themenzingers/status/1291026172881575937?s=21

I mean it’s like anything that you can invest in. You know what you’re investing in and understand the value/rarity and know when to sell it if you look at it that way. Im just saying at this point you can’t divorce the aspect of collecting and value from vinyl. It’s been like that for a long time. Can’t blame the people who have bought into at part of it when they have press limits and variants to feed that end of it. End of the day (most) people don’t want to have something they spent money on, that isn’t a consumable, massively lose its value. You can care about having it as a tangible product AND being able to have something rare to collect/resell

Stocks and index funds don’t double their value immediately after purchase. To ignore or just look past the collector/value aspect of this makes no sense. It goes hand in hand with the music aspect when they created variants/press counts. People have been doing this with vinyl for decades (Beatles presses, Deja presses, etc etc) LTJ is a band that heavily plays on that collectors aspect. If this were just about having something tangible to listen to, they’d press it in black in perpetuity

I can see the dislike in flippers, it sucks to see something you want on eBay 10 mins after purchase for twice as much. But that’s the whole game. Bands/Stores use low press counts to get you to click “buy” immediately. Part of the trade off on being first is you have something rare and of value. It’s a fair trade off to me, and don’t see why more places don’t throw up a standard black pressing with no press limitations for those who don’t want to be part of that aspect of vinyl. That way they’ll get to keep their nose up in the air while being “above this whole color vinyl mess”

I mean let’s be real, part of vinyl collection is holding value. I have boxes of cds not worth a shit in a basement. Modern Vinyl collection was a remedy to that while still being able to get your music and support the artist. The collector aspect is a selling point of all of this and if it wasn’t they wouldn’t advertise counts to entice sales. Yeah people want the music, but that is readily available and on MUCH more convenient platforms. Vinyl is roughly 200% more expensive than the CD that it came out on originally, it’s not a wild thought that someone wants that $30 to hold its value in 10 years rather than be worth .01 of its value like CDs now. You can get use out of the item and still look at it as an investment. That’s how vinyl has been for the last 10+ years. If they’re creating scarcity to drive you into purchasing so you can be one of the preset number to get it, the natural instinct is you’re getting something rare and of value. To take your money and remove the scarcity 5 mins later is bullshit.

They saw all that lucrative LTJ $$$$$

Anthem is back up

Magenta the standard press color I guess?
