Absolutely. Patience almost pays off. I like bootlegs in the sense of "this is a live recording that's never going to see the light of day otherwise," or "this album is from an underground band that had 300 fans in 2006 and broke up shortly thereafter," but I wouldn't pay upwards of $50 for a MP3-sourced counterfeit copy of an album that I know hi-fi plates exist for. For the right price, maybe. But I'll happily wait for a legitimate repress.

Lmao 😂 can't argue with that! This was in reference to a Decemberunderground repress. But holy shit there really are so many The Art of Drowning pressings.

Years ago somebody told me that Davey wants AFI vinyl to stay limited, which is why the band never advocates for represses. I'm unsure of the validity of that statement, but it would explain why the band and labels never push for this with them.

Spotify Exclusive is back up here https://riserecords.com/products/sptbeb00ts-lp?_pos=21&_sid=b85f6d724&_ss=r Sooo, I guess it's no longer *only available* through 10/01, which we kind of knew would happen.

New variant: https://riserecords.com/products/btf0hardbf-lp?_pos=7&_sid=48223aea6&_ss=r Butterfly Black & Baby Pink w/ Magenta & White Splatter

That's the best outcome I've ever heard from UO customer service. You got lucky! I ordered a record that looked like it was put through a shredder in transit. Chatted with customer service about getting a replacement for nearly two month. They finally sent me a return label, then returned the record instead of replacing it. Now it's sold out and goes for $140+.

Got an email from Target this morning because I "didn't click the link" they emailed me, even though I clicked it about 7 times. So that's neat. Re-ordered without an issue though.

Finally. Thank you so much for posting this.

Glad to hear it! I'd love to see some Hawthorne Heights, Senses Fail and A Loss For Words get issued on tape in time.

Remember that one Black Friday where there a ton of Pure Noise releases issued on cassette? Is something like that ever gonna happen again? I loved that.

Got an email saying that my order will be delayed to 12/03. I ordered a cassette and a record. Email doesn't say which caused the delay, I'd imagine it's the vinyl, which is expected.

Extremely bummed that I missed these. Not the smartest call to release these unannounced in the middle of a workday.

Also, cassette is $4 cheaper on MerchNow https://spiritbox.com/products/sptbeb00bs-cp

Tri-color Galaxy variant sold out alone, but still available in bundles. Cassette is the same one that's been available on Merchnow.

I wish I could get just the new songs on vinyl instead of the whole album again. You can tell that these songs are from the Heartwork sessions just by listening, which is neat. Glad they got released.

Disappointing, yeah. But not surprising. $10 for a 7" is a bit steep. After shipping and taxes it was almost $17 for just one of them if you live in the US. And you couldn't bundle in fear of them selling out with 1-month intervals between going live. If they would've sold these on their MerchNow store they probably would've sold more. That way if someone wanted to grab an LP they could save on shipping. Fearless could've done a better job with this series. It was a cool idea, just a poor execution, in my opinion.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I just realized that some of these are still available here and just wanted to ask why the hell the "Hey There, Delilah" 7" is $22?

It's been out for a few months now. I really like it along with the other single. I listened to "Teeth" as midnight and was waiting for the band to announce that it released and put up pre-orders. Missed the /300 variant at work, but I really like what's out so far. The re-imagined versions are good too. I'm excited to hear a full-band version of teeth and I'm sure the other 2 tracks will be decent too. I'm happy Real Friends are back.

Since this is just an overall Spiritbox thread, I'll mention that there's an Eternal Blue cassette up for pre-order too, instead of making a new thread in the cassette forums. https://spiritbox.com/collections/music/products/sptbeb00bs-cp Blue sparkle /1,000

Shit, I just ordered this assuming the same. I like the full-band version better, but it would've been nice to have the acoustic on here as well. I guess I just assumed it was since they both released on the same day.

So Buddy is featured on an upcoming INK song, and Spencer is featured on an upcoming SF song? I can dig it.

Hopefully that's the case. This is the first thing I've ever pre-ordered from Target. Never had to do this for a pre-order elsewhere and thought it was odd. Thanks for the info.

Question for anyone who pre-ordered the Target exclusive: did you get an email for Target asking you to confirm your pre-order by (set date that I don't remember)? There's a link in the email, but when you click it it doesn't ask you to confirm anything. I've messed around on the site for about 15 minutes trying to find where to confirm the pre-order, but there's not an option anywhere. Has anyone figured this out?
