I've been trolling eBay for this for a while and finally scored a decent copy last year for about $60 (including shipping). Still a little more than what I wanted to spend, but I'm glad I got it now.

They're pretty stupid to discontinue such a common color.

Thats what I thought too, but my local store told me the color was discontinued. The last time I was at the store, there was no stock of any besta product in that color, but I just checked online and they definitely have stock now. Who knows what is really going on.

and thus begins a new trend. 

 

kudos for something different than expedit. (though i wouldn't use anything else)

I liked the Besta because it was more configurable. I've still got to sort out my 7" situation and I have two drawers for the bottom that I need to install. Overall, it's worked out good so far.

I went the Ikea route, but chose Besta instead of Expedit. I just added the top shelf for my expanding collection. Hopefully this lasts a little while because Ikea discontinued this particular color.

Well, that went fast. Was there anything preventing people from actually checking out with more than one copy or is this something Matt is going to have to sort out afterwards?

Really, the backlash should be towards the record label that transferred this license to SRC full well knowing that the previous licensee screwed a bunch of people over.

Does anybody know if there is a relationship between SRC and RJ on this (or any of his other releases that SRC picked up on). I'd imagine not, but if RJ were to get even one penny from the this, it'd be BS.

I would like to get this, but I'm already $39 into it and the $5 offering is a mere slap in the face. I'm going to pass.

The silver lining is that if I were to get it, I'd be able to post in the "What's the most you've ever spent" thread.

 Does anyone own an Apple trackpad?  They look sleek as hell, and I'm considering going that route for casual navigation.  I'll always be a mouse-guy when it comes to pixel perfect alignment in Photoshop, etc.

I recently picked one up for use with my iMac and it is pretty great once you learn all the guestures. I barely use the mouse at all any more. Only for the few precision tasks I come across. I would like to see a wired version. Wireless is not necessary for my desktop machine, but battery life is pretty good. My rechargeables last at least 4 weeks of daily use (~2 hours/day).

I used to have the white debut with acrylic platter, and the color of the record is apparent in the acrylic, but aside from some minor reflection of the glossy surface of the plinth, there is no color change, nor does it light up at all.

This is right on.

The LED's might be interesting to check out.

I've got a copy of this on black. If I remember correctly, when I pre-ordered from polyvinyl, black or red were the only choices.

RJ/AFS started this project a long time ago. They obviously never completed it before the license was transfered to SRC. However the plates were done before we were given the license. The plates for vinyl were kept in Universals control (as with any major label license deal). I asked RJ since the mastering was done when he was supposed to do this project and he said that Walter had it remastered for vinyl at Sterling Sound. The plates were made from that master.

This may be why it was a bit confusing. We were told it was remastered but no other details than that. It took me a bit to get RJ to respond to my email about the details of the remaster.

Hope that helps!

It's ironic that RJ is immortalized in the dead wax.

$17.50 shipping to the US for the deluxe bundle. The only reason I'm considering pre-ordering is the 7".

I placed my order for this 1 year ago yesterday.... Happy Anniversary!

I've had two orders with RJ and both were botched. Great business model. I wonder if we'll ever hear from him again?

I have an extra copy of this that I'd be willing to part with at cost plus shipping from the U.S. International is fine too. PM me.

EDIT: Copy has been claimed.

Q: How come the Merge LP version of Icky Mettle is only a single disc when the one on Fire Records is a 2xLP?

A: The Fire version is just one LP as well.

I happened by a Hot Topic in Portland, OR yesterday and saw one one the shelf. I went back an hour or so later and it was gone. Luckily, I asked the clerk about it because they had another copy hiding in a drawer under the display.

Keep looking. They are still around.
