Someone took the Tool Masterclass on Merch

$1250 for a shelf made of plywood and aluminum panels

 

 

I got an e-mail about this too, saw the price and was like WTF?  Didn't even know they were doing collabs like this.  Then I clicked on the link because I noticed this was "drop 2", so if you click on the link to drop 1, you'll see they had similar items and *every* single item is sold out.  Like seriously?  Who wants a poster of a reel-to-reel tape limited to 92 copies?  For $150.  I don't understand collecting anymore I guess.

Got shipping notification for my signed Olivia record. I should have probably canceled the original order I made. Multiple variants. Blah.

Which one of the 9, 288 variants did you get?

there is a spotify version now too....blue vinyl limited to 1000 copies.  https://takingbacksunday.fantasyrecordings.com/sff/

There is an Urban Outfitters variant limited to just 500 copies for $29.98 that went live this morning:

UO Link

Even better?  No Media Mail shipping for that $17 single.   Only option is USPS ground select for $12, so yeah with taxes it'd probably be over $30 for a 7" record.....ummm no thanks.

Thanks for posting.  500 copies on the first press, 200 on pink and 300 on clear w/green splatter.  Each is $25.  

Went ahead and ordered 1.  new song underrated is ok.

New Sophomore LP

The new album ‘Chronicles Of A Diamond’ arrives as the fullest expression yet of their frenetic creativity and limitless vision.

1. More Than A Love Song
2. Ice Cream (Pay Phone)
3. Mrs. Postman

I think that is all of them, but I am sure more variants will pop up.

Edit:  Guess not, so just added the Walmart one, so we are at 12 variants that would be nearly $450 w/tax & shipping (not counting the signed ones) to purchase if you wanted them all.  Sure, I've just got $450 lying around doing nothing.  Screw car payments!  The Black Pumas just released 13 versions of their new LP!  (sarcasm).

Edit 2;  Added Spotify version, so we are at 13 variants which would now make it $485 to purchase them all.  

Edit 3:  Added Amazon version, so we are at 14 variants.

so we've had 2 variants so far, how many more you think TS will release?  

This was already being discussed in the RSD thread.  Plus, everything that Modern Vinyl is getting their info from is the same source used here in the RSD thread---the Wax Poetic blog.

Just got word from my local shop that Walking on a Dream by Empire of the Sun is getting a repress for RSD! He just got a new list of titles in and that was one of them.

That is correct!

That title has been added to the Wax Poetic blog (new-vinyl.blogspot.com) along with other releases by Braid, Rise Against, The 1975, Jerry Garcia, Ryan Adams and more.

It's laughable that RSD titles are available on line at all....RSD was created entirely in attempt to get people shopping in Brick and Morter stores again....hell, it's in the name. I understand that the music industry as a whole has been on the decline for decades now...but so many major labels literally pressing thousands of copies of anything they think might sell, regardless of the quality of the pressing or the jackets is getting fucking absurd. From my job's perspective every single week we get shipments of vinyl in and more often than not its the band/artists manager sending us the vinyl...which they don't listen to the format and have no idea how fragile it is....how does that tie in?

Essentially Record Store Day started for vinyl enthusiasts/nerds and music lovers. It caused a fairly huge jump in vinyl sales. Major labels and people in the industry that don't legitimately care about the format nor do they understand things about it (proper packaging of the LPs and how to ship them) attempt to cash in on what's hot without an understanding....and so on the consumer end you/we get flooded with shitty releases like fucking Aerosmith represses by the metric ass-ton, which nobody wanted nor will buy at the absurd price-point they're listed at as well as managers for artists cutting out a warehouse manager/shipping expert and just tossing 200 LPs in a single-wall box with no padding to try and sell....all of which show up damaged and unsellable. This whole ball got rolling to get people into brick and mortars and now these releases that were initially specific to record stores are being sold online which is the exact reason the entire Record Store Day was created to counter online sales....

In the eternal words of Kanye West "I mean, this shit is, fucking ridiculous"

This times 1000.

I knew the labels didn't really care about Record Store Day or the stores, when the Flaming Lips Heady Nuggs box came out and you had nearly 7000 made for stores and then they go behind the stores backs and make a more limited colored version (1000 copies no less) and sell it only online.

Direct 2 Consumer options will always be there and conducted by the major labels, what they need to do is start being transparent when the folks behind RSD make their list, because when I see a title that is supposedly limited to 1500 copies and then 250 are made available on the band's website, then there is really only 1250 copies available to over 800+ brick and mortar stores to try and be allocated....so the consumer get screwed in the end.

how about you link to it for those of us that don't have it bookmarked

Merry Xmas---www.new-vinyl.blogspot.com

Last Day......just about any reasonable offer will be accepted.

FYI...the first list has leaked......might want to check a certain RSD blog....hint hint

nope. john from spartan told me i was basically shit out of luck. 

Then point John to this listing on Cobraside (http://www.cobraside.com/b2b/details.php?id=900148) and tell him you want one of the 500 copies they plan to re-release (again) for RSD2015 in April

Weekend Deal for VCers only--ends Sunday at Midnight EDT!

Buy 3 items--get 10% off + free US shipping

Buy 6 items--get 25% off + free US shipping

Mention it in the comments when placing your order on Discogs.  Sorry to you international folks, I'd love to offer you free shipping, but just can't.

Things have been slowing down, so I may start boxing all of this stuff this weekend to start taking to storage.  So make those offers this weekend, because I don't really want to have to dig stuff out of boxes.

I have one SEALED, should be on my spreadsheet in my FS thread

Only 5 more days left!  Updated the Spreadsheet to reflect items that have been sold (highlighted in red)

Cool. I know 69 Love Songs is allegedly getting a repress so perhaps it will be released on RSD.

So the Box Set that was released on RSD in 2010 is getting another RSD repress potentially?  This is where we're at...repressing RSD releases already?   Wow.  

bump for the night crowd....I also ship worldwide.

tick tock tick tock

Per their mailing list, it appears that pre-orders (on their site anyway) will go live on Monday, Jan 26th

Bump....1 week left.  Everything going into storage and I will not have access to it after the 19th.
