I think people need to maybe smoke some dope and be happier...

The Holo cover on the retail version is $36 at bull moose so it is a little unfair to trash Newbury over the price or compare it to the standard black.  
 
Also so as Buzz Osborne says not everything is for everybody.
 If you don’t want to pay $40 for a record then is just not for you, don’t worry about it

holy fuck you are so incredibly unlikeable

Relax. Just because it isn't fundamental to life, doesn't mean I can't critique the business practices surrounding the sale of it. I know its not medication (nor a credit card balance) and I never implied that it was in any way similar. In fact I completely rejected the comparison of record pricing to any other type of entertainment product but especially something as fundamentally necessary as fuel for your means of transportation. I merely pointed out that it is a lot by today's standards with direct comparisons to a nearly identical product of the exact same format and if people keep buying up the specialized versions of products at ridiculous prices they will encourage those who produce or sell said products to keep inflating the prices even on the regular non-specialized basic editions. I think that is a valid concern.
 
This is a vinyl message board. I'm limiting my critique to vinyl prices. I'm also not advocating that anyone buy more than one copy of any record. I guess you could say that I'm attempting to be persuasive against anyone buying Newbury Comics exclusives because their prices, in my contention, are an insult. I don't think that's a serious transgression. And still, I'm not even aggressively dictating to anyone that they must not buy those editions. I'm simply providing a voice of dissent for my own venting and for anyone who wishes to engage in the conversation. My concern is that it would be nice if engaging in the practice of consuming products like vinyl records could remain somewhat affordable to me. And of course I'm using my own measure of affordability to make that case admittedly. If the cost of production actually justifies such a spike in the retail price of the product then maybe that just means that I get priced out of participating in the consumerism of a product that is important to me and that is something that obviously concerns me. I hope that its clear that I enjoy accumulating and listening to vinyl records. Here I am on a discussion forum dedicated to records talking about that and all the aforementioned issues surrounding it. Also, if this topic and my position on it aggravates you that much, you luckily have the liberty of ignoring it. If you want to debate it, I'm clearly happy to.
 
PS Fuck golf still.

Also if you don't like the more expensive colored variant gimmick....you can just buy the standard release...

Gross price and color.

I'd say $25 and change is about the maximum justifiable cost for a 2xLP of the caliber that this pressing is and you can find copies of this for that price all over on a few different currently "in print" color variants. $40 is just taking advantage of poor suckers who are addicted to product exclusivity.

like 90% sure they charge right away. Including the $1,000,000 they charge for shipping or whatever it is.
Still considering that After The Burial / Rareform repress tho.

Is that Jon from Dying Fetus on lead? Sure looks like him, would b awesome to see him and Jason back together making music, if so.

I have one of each of these now and am going to do a proper shootout when I get a chance; likely around Christmas. I'll post back here with any pertinent thoughts.

Nah, they just do a pretty good job at keeping in touch with their fan.

Just bought a Green Haze to add to my Cornetto. Not too keen on the brown Haze tho... Might be cool. Can I have too many Dopesmokers?
Looks like half have already sold...

Like you, I'm a Florida resident and a little bit irritated that he may have had two flamethrowers and while I won't give up the numbers, I have less than two.

Florida Man. 
 
That’s all. 

Given enough time, you'll see that everyone's a dick...

Right? It's exciting even though it could possibly go wrong.
 
Also they got the rights for a new season of Ghost in the Shell: SAC. Netflix is really going all in on anime stuff.

Given enough time, you'll see that everyone's a dick...

Yeah, I am on the other side of the fence. I collect Christmas records, and I enjoy them. 

Marilyn Manson collection.
 
Portrait, Mechanical Animals, and Holy Wood I had to grab through a Japanese auction site to find them at a decent price.  Manson records are a bitch to collect.

Love me some Fugazi too:

Elvis.
