Get the blue, get the black, who cares? 

the cassette's are ONLY available on tour.

funny how this is like the third time you've tried to trash this pressing without actually owning it. stop spreading the garbage rumors of people on the internet because you didn't get a copy. it's getting old....

To be fair, the discogs prices for the EP are hardly "inflated." I was expecting different when I clicked the link. The markup after shipping paid for the PO isn't even $10.

Funny, but…
 
1. it's not a bag of rocks
2. who's thanking them?
3. if this had been included with the LP as "deluxe edition" bonus content or something, people would be praising him for including nice liner notes & companion material

Yeah, this is definitely your opinion, but many people love the Dreamcast. It is fondly remembered.

The final album out on April 21
 
Castle face exclusive variant will be up about a week before, as most releases are

I really can't imagine that… like the whole thing. Think about it - the costs involved shipping / delivering a couple LP's at a time like that, when the total run is 500? That's a LOT of unnecessary shipping costs, and time just opening up the packages when it could just be one and done. Even if they're being hand delivered by someone that works at the shop or distributor, tons of wasted time on their part going back & forth. And then it's like "ok Nick, we got another one in. Can you please update the website AGAIN" - and then repeating that over and over again until they sell through the whole run… Talk about a lot of wasted energy. I know you're just relaying what they said but I find it kinda hard to believe that it is really happening like that. I wonder if they're just staggering them as a way to diminish scalping or something, give more people a chance to grab one instead of putting them all up at once and having them sell out in a flash.

it appears that their stock notification doesn't work for shit. 

They consider 2 songs an ep these days?
 
 

kind of defeats the purpose of having a limited tour version

You're a vinyl collector, right? Ask yourself - has that EVER happened before, that you are aware of? Like there aren't other high profile, hotly anticipated vinyl releases that factory workers would be tempted to steal & sell if they could get away with it?
 
Then think about the logistics of pressing up a record. If you're the label, you order a certain amount pressed, maybe a few test pressings but those usually are just plain without artwork. You KNOW how many are supposed to be made cause you are making the order, and you know who you are ordering from. It's not some mystery who pressed your records. If you get your order of whatever, say 300 records and then before the release you see that someone is selling copies of it online when the run was supposed to be limited to 300, then you KNOW something fishy is going on with the pressing plant, and you would contact them, and they would take it pretty seriously as their professional reputation would be at stake. These plants aren't like factories with thousands of untraceable people working in them, and the music business is small - especially with things like this. I mean how many record pressing plants are even out there. Not that many.

I guess it depends on how many 7"s you have...this is what I use:

 

Arrived today - one A/B is gray marble and C/D is awesome green marble

Stopped in because I thought maybe Corner Dings was a new band I should be listening to. 

If I'm buying something that's new, I expect it to be in new condition. Would you be pissed if the car dealership gave you a brand new car with a ding on the door and expected you to pay full price? Why should you care? The ding doesn't affect the driving at all!
