How does every label  that touches this release totally miscalculate the demand for it?
 
Seriously, it would be like printing money.

Is the plastic sleeve that really thick mylar or whatever, that causes gasing / clouding?  I recall that being a huge ordeal with the press of Glassjaw’s W&T.  Even without that, I didn’t realize it was a single LP picture disc.  That is rough.  I would be amazed if it sounded even serviceable.
 
Great thread to break the ice, I reckon.  Welcome aboard VC.
 
The 2015 repress?  I had to look up what I own and am sort of baffled that it’s been 3 years since I ordered mine.  There’s no real info on how big any of these presses are, but I agree that it’s a bummer they don’t just keep it print to avoid these smaller runs.  It’s a deserving record to mass produce.

Hear, hear.
 
I wouldn’t sweat it, my dude.  Hostility only seems to flare up when our resident armchair psychiatrists get bored and feel the need to flex their pseudo-intellectual prowess.  It doesn’t seem to happen all that often, and the majority of us are grounded far enough into the real world that the forum is something we flock to for fun and discussions – not much else.  The bickering shouldn’t be interpreted as “””serious business””” but your mileage may vary.
 
I think this repress isn’t garnering as much hype because it’s not the first time the record has been made available again.  I’m in the camp that owns the prior press... otherwise I’d probably be visibly stoked to finally own this record.  Owning an OG triple LP would be awesome, but for the price difference and what’s being offered, I’m pretty content with the repress.  Glad to see more people are able to get their hands on it, too – I don’t think there’s any disputing that this is BP’s crowning gem of their discography.

...but less like a cult!
