JUST THIS MORNING, I told myself I would take a break from buying records. Oh well. There’s always tomorrow...

Looks like this pressing is going to be at least 5,000 copies. Total take is almost 4,600 at this point. That’s massive!

Any variant pressed by Mightier Than Sword or SRCVinyl is safe. They’re the best quality imo but pricey depending on the variant. Universal pressings from 2016 on black are all safe, I believe. Avoid any variant issued through Hot Topic, and the 2019 edition that’s the topic of this thread.

Yeah, the last two releases were produced and distributed independently by the band. I couldn’t wait any longer. I pre-ordered from the evil SRC ($27, or cheaper than $21 converted to CAD). The Canadian site is good for getting things out on time that SRC don’t press themselves. I’m not worried...

YAAAAS. Beyond excited for this. I have the remastered CD set from 2004 and it sounds just fine. I’m sure the vinyl will come out beautifully!

Most of my purchases are forced to be one record at a time, from the US, due to availability. Average shipping cost this year is $18, at a 1.37x exchange rate. Usually doubles the price of any given record. The only relief I have is Rarewaves on eBay and Pop Market on discogs. Buying this OLP album locally for $30 CAD is a relative steal.

Well this is a pleasant surprise! Just brought it home from my local shop. https://imgur.com/a/uQZMp55

Nah they just press and distribute one variant without a limit (i.e. too fucken many). Or black.

Better not be any 3x10” bullshit, we all know how blasphemous that would be

Did what I said I was gonna do.

Genuine question: if the album was complete enough to release onto Apple Music, why the hell were they making us wait until May to hear it? That’s an archaic way to roll out an album, as if we listen to the radio waiting for a new single to climb up and fall off the charts every three months like it’s 1997. I know vinyl release delays are not a valid reason to hold back an entire release in other formats. /rant

Just preorder something else

I know, I was just quoting the era surrounding the first five Reprise albums. The Lookout! era was a fine time as well.

RIP Green Day 1994-2004

I lurked here for years... finally made an account to join the circle jerk that was ripping on tug... just in time for him to disappear. I was heartbroken

I just want to point out the acronym for this album’s title is FOAM. Good way to describe filler. Holy fuck this is bad... with the exception of Sugar Youth. I wouldn’t kick that out of bed for eating crackers. Once.

I’m really surprised this hasn’t been mentioned yet... blood-filled vinyl. https://www.discogs.com/The-Flaming-Lips-The-Flaming-Lips-And-Heady-Fwends/release/4574588 Really not worth the headache.

Sweet, looks like I’m collecting BT now too. Just ordered the first album on clear. They’d better repress II soon!

Not sure if anyone cares, but this has been discounted to $25 CAD on the Canadian SRC site. I have this album and it’s well worth it. Probably the only pressing it’ll ever get, too. https://www.srcvinyl.ca/sum-41-underclass-hero-pink-black-2xlp.html

Finally! Better late than never, I guess. I’ll wait for it to pop up in my local store on release date. There’s still plenty of copies of their other albums on the shelves here as well.

Given how IAIYH was a relative sales flop, lost the band their contract, and effectively led them to go on hiatus for seven years... I think no one is willing to take the risk on it just yet. Surely won’t be a money maker given its less than stellar memory. That said, I would do unspeakable things to own it on vinyl.

Try being Canadian. $30.18 for me, which is still the cheapest price I’ve ever seen for this. I bought one, I fricken love this album.

I hope a Canadian distributor picks this up. Don’t want to pay as much for shipping as the cost of the record again. Dead Reflection was super easy to get my hands on after release date.

He must be thinking of the Smaller Chairs EP. I got that on black and I’d like a black TOHV to match it.

@justindinealone Hey Justin, will there be a repress of this on standard black vinyl on the way anytime soon?
