I got lucky and got a pair of row 2 for the Detroit area show. Prices were $140+fees which i thought was more than fair nowadays. I paid the same for much crappier Depeche Mode tickets later in the year. Cure lawn seats were only $20 which is crazy in this age. Robert really went above and beyond to try and make this a better experience for those who got lucky with the verified fan sale. Anyone who missed out should keep an eye out for more good seats to get released when the show gets near. In 2008 I got front row center tickets in Cleveland 2 days before the show direct from TM, and in 2016 I got floor for Chicago the same way. So it happens.

Grabbed a couple lps with poster and CDs mostly to get the autographs. He's a hometown hero. Also this just goes to show that you can still produce lps and 7"s for great prices if you want to. Having Pettibon do the artwork was a bonus.

I snagged one of the limited to 500 glow in the dark sets. It was $150 but it is easily one of my all time favorite albums and I can't imagine the resale on it will ever drop much. I'll spin my regular LP as always and just have this as a collector piece.

If you order from bandcamp you get the digital on 10/14 too: https://johncarpentermusic.bandcamp.com/album/halloween-ends-original-motion-picture-soundtrack-2

Looks like it is substantially cheaper from other retailers like fnac. Reminds me of how everyone overpaid for the nick cave box when it first went up on his site. $125 shipped to the states after taxes are deducted: https://www.fnac.com/a17350720/PJ-Harvey-B-Sides-et-Rarities-Edition-Deluxe-Limitee-Coffret-Vinyle-album

My bad, they just threw up it in the front of their Featured page and I was thinking that it was another new release. Then I just checked and see that I ordered it 4 months ago lol. These long wait times for pressings are killing me. They must have pressed a ton as the last couple vaults they did limited to 1 per person sold out fairly fast.

Vault # 2 preorder for members: https://shop.pearljam.com/collections/featured/products/vic-theatre-8-2-2007-vault-2-vinyl edit: not new, they just confused me by adding it to their featured items page.

Nice finds even at €60. Were they both the UK press? Or was Barcelona the Spanish press? I had the Spain one for a long time but finally sold it when I snagged a mint UK copy for $75 a few years back. Same person sold me a "Show" LP for $50 as well. That was a great day considering my Spanish press covered the cost of both. The OG press was also not a gatefold so I'm expecting the new one to be pretty similar. I'm really excited to hear all of the B Sides on the cd as this may secretly be my favorite Cure album. I think the demo of Cut they just released sounds fantastic.

If you are in in the US and want it before the end of January you can order the November Euro release from FNAC in France. It is around $40 shipped to the US after they deduct taxes and they ship very well and use DHL so you'll usually have it within a week from shipping. They have never let me down. But you'll need to use google translate or something to order. https://www.fnac.com/a17253615/The-Cure-Wish-30th-Anniversary-Edition-Vinyle-album

Mine is exactly the same. I assume most if not all of them are f'd. They really should have just sold them with a warning that it wasn't for playing. They obviously knew but guessing they just assumed nobody was actually buying it to play. Doubting they'll do anything other than refund you but you can always sell it on eBay for $500.

It wouldn't have hurt for them to have had an official disclaimer about the quality of these. I assumed they would be pretty much unplayable only because the other album I have with leaves in it (barren harvest) was promoted that way when it was released. But others may be more annoyed than me. These records I got today are in the worst shape I've ever had for new lps. A ton of residue all over them, a few small bubbles throughout both lps. No way they play through. But still glad to have it in the collection.

Made it, but of course with just 1 copy. $150 and not even a sleeve. Still a pretty good line now. edit: Just heard that it sold out about 10 mins after I got in.

Thanks. Out of a meeting and on my way now. Sure hope they did more than 300 of these.

Who is in line already? i won't be able to get down there until shortly before open so I'm not even sure I should bother.
