finally stoked for a good sounding copy of this record, cause $RC did not do it justice. 

New pressing up.. but not sure where they get off charging $40 for a single LP

Just a heads up, the AFI site is now offering media mail. I just emailed them asking for a shipping change and refund since that wasn't offered earlier.

when did media mail become $9?

Why do we keep saying this is made to order?

 

No way they are taking pre-orders and than seeing how many to press

retailers are saying they can get as many as they want, so even if they sell out, more will be added to inventory. 

sonny keeps changing and reuploading new slight VIP versions of the songs on streaming platforms. hopefully the pressing when it comes out is the original release.

Ya, the bands post seems pretty clear it’s just the show variant limited to 2,000. Thanks for pointing this out for everyone. 

cant tell if youre being sarcastic or not, so apologies in advance if you were being sincere, but my point i was trying to clear up was the retail black and red variant isnt limited to 20k, but actually open order. 

seems like theres a lot of misinformation going around about the repress.

AFAIK, the show exclusive is /2000, but the retail variant will be open orders and printed to order, so no limit. 

people saw 20,000 and assumed thats the pressing number for this upcoming retail variant, but they were talking about the original press, which according to discogs was actually 10k, not 20k.

Got mine today, I honestly didn't think it would ever show up. 

Can you believe this went up for preorder nov 2021 with a august 2022 ship date ? Some real absurd shit.

I have a collection of about 3,700 records, check them out here: https://www.discogs.com/user/stl_ben/collection

I also have a business of selling records/cds and have an inventory of about 1,000 pieces currently: https://www.discogs.com/seller/stl_ben/profile

Some one can both collect records and sell them, they aren't mutually exclusive.  And not sure what one has to do with the other.  That being said I've been listening to the new Paramore almost all day and would have loved to have got the flexi (if you click the link of my personal collection you will find several Paramore singles as 7"s are my main focus).

I just found it comical and ironic, that you as someone who has notoriously been known to flip records, would be complaining about people flipping the Flexi disc  

But nice deflection and shameless plug for your store. 🙄

my question was rhetorical anyway, anyone that’s been on these boards longer than 5 years already knew the answer to the question. There’s a reason it got so many laugh reactions. 

 

i titled the thread with PO soon and then realized FDR has these in hand and ready to go so its not a pre order at all.

field day records out here getting it done right. more labels should take notes. 

These records will go on sale Monday, February 13, 2023 at 12:00 PM Central Time on our web store.

https://fielddayrecords.myshopify.com/

-Limited to 1,000 copies on coke bottle clear with green & brown splatter
-Upgraded paper stock jacket
-Printed inner sleeve showcasing lyrics, additional artwork, and credits

i feel like that USB stick is something you buy as a gift for someone whos a tool fan, but any self respecting tool fan wouldnt buy that for themselves.

Prices on the flexi right now are ridiculous....and not just jealous because I missed out at my store by a few minutes.

dont you flip records?

My Highway Back to Texas variant arrived today. It looks and sounds beautiful!

there are no other variants

I mean I was watching the bar as well, but I'm wondering if shop owners picked them up to sell later. Selling 8K records when various other variants have already been around seems wild, even for a well known band like Gorillaz.

are any of the other variants numbered? that may have helped sell this quick. i feel like this one is special enough that your average person that doesnt even spin vinyl, just buys it cause its pretty, would buy this.

Just now, MCDELTAT said:

Wondering if stores will have this in stock 8K seems a lot to sell out to individuals in one day.

theres a sold stock bar on the site, i saw it go all the way from 0 to 8000, i dont think there are any for stores haha 

i actually love how transparent blood recs is about how many copies of any record they've sold.

did anyone that ordered this bundle in the US still not receive it yet?

 

I've seen a few friends in the US get theirs, but I'm still waiting.  I did get a shipping notice on the 11th,  but unfortunately no tracking number for this one, so I'm trying to figure out if mine is lost, or if there are others who are still waiting.

i got mine last week. 

so happy i saw this today, i woulda been so mad at myself if i missed out on this.

really cool to see a 500 copy pressing of a pretty small band sell out on day 1. but im honestly not surprised, this record fucks.

Just for the giggles wanted to know how much shipping was on these. Asked around on other social media and it seems like these are like $62 shipped. Yikes yikes yikes.

the worst part about that is they make you check out on each release one by one. cant build a cart or combine shipping, so youre playing $12 shipping every time, even if you buy at the same time across multiple available releases.

im not gonna lie i jumped at define the great line cause i dont own that on vinyl at all, but i regret it and wish i didnt. not participating in these any longer. 

i really like this record a lot... maybe im in the minority. 

New pressing up on highlighter yellow

I’m pretty positive in the initial announcement they said this was going to be a box set of EP’s specifically.  I don’t remember a mention of any full-lengths.  At least not right now.

 

Anyways, super stoked for Halifax.  This was my #1 hope they would put in this set.

They said boxset of ep’s + other stuff outside of boxset which means full length releases.
