  1. The hatred for third man is pretty childish, you are just not getting what you want.

     

    it looks like a lot of the copies of the variant will be at their rolling record store at Muddy Roots where Sleep is playing but fuck them for selling them directly to some sleep fans they should have sent one of two more copies to Orlando

    As a seller Never list a record as mint. 

     

    As a buyer never expect a record to come in mint condition. 

     

    Think about the wear a record gets before coming to you. 

     

    Plant > label > distribution > original purchaser > resale purchaser

     

    that is a lot of room for error with slight pressing defects occurring prior to it ever being shipped

    Pretty much what I do, honestly You have no idea what the other person would consider mint

     I've had a few people now tell me that they had to order a $145 box of 10 of the black ones in order to get 1 aquamarine. Electric Fetus's online shop actually showed it in their system as a preorder the other day which really confused me but they quickly removed it.

     

    Anyone heard of any other label pulling shit like this with stores? I can't imagine that indie stores appreciate it much.

    Isn’t this kind of how record store day works?

     

    honestly I don’t think it matters what third man would do, people are going to shit on them, of course only if they don’t get one.  I’d assume most labels have some sort of system based on sales or a relationship when it comes to getting limited edition items into stores.  Only one store here gets loser editions from sub pop and I am going to guess it is because they buy more sub pop releases then the others, business wise it makes sense

  4. The thing is I don’t think the purpose of the extra stuff being sent in the vault is to keep it all together.  I am guessing  their intentions are you use or display everything they send but then again they probably intend for people to listen to the records which probably doesn’t happen as much as it should

    Where can someone in the States buy these reissues? I'm wondering if there's a recommended site for ordering Stateside.

     

    Edit: I’m specifically looking for something less than the $40 per title Flightless typically charges for purchases in USD. 

    Pretty sure nowhere unless someone is selling a copy on Discogs they bought from flightless cheap.  Maybe with the larger pressing numbers they’ll show up somewhere though doubt they’d be much cheaper though

  6. Don’t really get all the negativity towards the surprise aspect of this release.  Personally I would rather be surprised with  the actual release of a record the.mn be surprised there is a 2 month early pre order.  You could’ve gotten it online at third man so it was available online.  There are 10,000 of these if you are patient you’ll find one or this is Sleep just wait for one of the other dozen variants to come out.

    I was hoping to get my hands on that as well, but it doesn't seem that Isbell is very happy with it. Wonder if it's bad sound quality or if he just doesn't like the old label.

     

     

    I got the cd when it came out years ago, it isn’t anything special but not terrible.  Probably just mad a label he is no longer on is releasing it

    Here you go everybody! For those of us who dont live near Detroit and didnt get a chance to pickup the tri-color of the new 7", discogs already has a few for sale for only a minimum of $175! What a steal!!!!! 

     

     

    Why even care about this.  The same thing happens with every third man variant, especially location exclusives.   If you don’t want to go there or don’t want to pay a huge mark up why even bother getting upset over it.  It’s not like you can’t get the same songs on black vinyl.
