How did you get it cancelled. I got a single reply from the webstore “ALL SALES FINAL”

 

I got the white too, before the Orange came out

Geez what a drag. I told them that I had placed a separate order for the mega bundle and gave them my new order number. I don’t know if that allowed mine to get cancelled or not?

Weird configurations. 

 

If you have a DL card, why include the CD with the Deluxe? Just make Wav's part of the DL.

 

Why include 7"s with the 2 LPs for the Super Deluxe? Why not make it a 4LP set with 2 LPs of Instrumentals. Or just do a 7" box set. 

 

 

The Humanz deluxe got a lot of guff, but at least the b-sides were new songs.  IDK, these are just weird and unfortunately priced. 

 

 

I was thinking a 7" box set with all of the other extras (books, prints, etc) would have made the most sense for a super deluxe issue of this, especially with the theme and way they've been rolling out the singles. Oh well

Just bought a t-shirt, hoodie, and facemasks I definitely would not have otherwise purchased just to finally have this album on vinyl. Then come to find out they are releasing 500 more in a week or so lol. Fuck it

my original order was for a single white, then i bought the mega bundle. i was able to get the order for the single LP cancelled. if you placed a separate order for the orange, maybe you can get the bundle deal cancelled?

Good catch. Makes me think Mondo will have their own variant at some point. Also, So Many Ways will be on this.

can't wait for the 30 minute unboxing video of someone complaining about how the actual vinyl looks nothing like the mockups.

damn. missed the red and blue. if anyone got an extra, hit me up.

said fuck it and ordered the mega bundle (in a rare instance where i actually like all of the items bundled together, ha). i loved this record so much when i was younger, so i'm not mad about it. my first concert ever was seeing them was like 6 months after this record came out.

damn. missed the red and blue. if anyone got an extra, hit me up.

Am I the only one who's VERY excited for those EP's to finally get pressed by Mondo?

if the EPs were released before unplugged, i probably would have passed on this preorder and just stuck with the EPs. but the fomo was too much. that said, the audience is pretty terrible in this record.

like places, i think indie stores got the best looking variant

https://store.dashboardconfessional.com/

around 2,000 of each DC exclusive color

Orange and black to match the guitar and tri color to match the wristband. Those are some choices.

Quote

Dashboard Confessional have announced that the third installment of their vinyl reissue series, The Early Days, will be the long-awaited, first-ever pressing of their Platinum-certified live album MTV Unplugged 2.0. Arriving on September 25th, MTV Unplugged 2.0 holds a significant place in Dashboard Confessional lore. The iconic set, recorded in 2002 on the era-defining show, was originally released only on CD as the band's first live album and on the heels of their earliest releases, 2000’s The Swiss Army Romance and 2001’s The Places You Have Come To Fear The Most and So Impossible EP. MTV Unplugged 2.0 is a snapshot of the band’s rapid ascent reaching a fever pitch, replete with devoted fan sing-alongs and featuring the first ever full-band performances of seven of Carrabba’s most beloved solo tracks, including "Hands Down" and "So Impossible.” MTV Unplugged 2.0 will be available in multiple collectible, limited edition color variants in addition to a non-limited edition run of standard black vinyl and is available for pre-order HERE. 

The limited edition black/opaque orange and hot pink/peach/dark blue color vinyl can be purchased only via the Dashboard Confessional online store HERE. The cloudy, transparent red and peach vinyl is available only via independent record stores, a community that has long-supported Dashboard Confessional. An opaque baby pink vinyl, limited to only 1,000 copies, can be found exclusively at VinylMePlease.com, beginning tomorrow, September 4th.

The Early Days series, which continues this year’s DC20 20th anniversary celebration, spotlights the albums and EPs that defined the band's formative years, including The Swiss Army Romance vinyl reissue, and the first-ever pressing of 2001’s The Places You Have Come To Fear The Most, which sold-out immediately at on-sale and debuted at #2 on Billboard's Vinyl Albums chart, #18 on the Top Albums chart, and #3 on the Top Catalog Albums chart. The band has also partnered with Mondo to release three EPs for the very first time on vinyl this year: 2001’s So Impossible, 2002’s Summers Kiss, and a newly created Spider-Man 2 EP. More details about the limited edition EPs will be announced later this year.

This year’s 20th celebration also included the release of Dashboard Confessional’s first-ever career-spanning compilation, The Best Ones Of The Best Ones, and their own installment in the Spotify Singles series (a reimagining of their breakthrough hit “Screaming Infidelities” and a cover of Post Malone’s “Circles”).

if anyone is looking for the numbered version of the 20th anniversary press, it's available in the warner euro store

https://greenday.warnerartists.net/eu/music/vinyl/nimrod-20th-anniversary-edition-vinyl.html

edit: item description doesn't indicate it's numbered. i bought one almost a year ago exactly and i got a stamped numbered copy in the 1800's. fairly certain it noted that they were numbered when i placed that order, but who knows now.

KRM restocked a bunch of clear vinyl copies on the 25th anniversary the other week. those orders still haven't shipped though.

I got mine for 75 and was upset about that too.

I paid $115'ish for my ACM Red, it had the sleeve but not the box.

truthfully i hadn't thought about how relatively "affordable" those were 7-8 years ago, only really looking into what they were going for now in the last year or so. i try not to think about what i let get away from me, or else it aches like it does now lol.

i think the true tragedy is how they wasted the perfect opportunity to issue the RSD release on any sort of red vinyl variant, though i know enough has been said about that

I’m still floored at how much the ACM RED on red vinyl goes for. Even the incomplete sets without the wraparound sleeve & stickered box go for crazy amounts. 

i had actually won an auction for one complete with the sleeve and box on ebay back in 2013. ended up cancelling the order because the seller refused to ship it double boxed (they were going to ship it in the original promo box). i didn't bother pursuing another copy because i was already out of my comfort zone in terms of price, and just sort of let it drop off my wantlist.

final price of the auction: $61.00

Just got an order processed email with a tracking number. Looks like if you selected split shipping it’s going ups sure post.

Awesome, are these pre-orders?

i think there was initial stock that shipped immediately, at the very least i remember seeing that. maybe that could be referring to the digital download? anyone else who bought one early, can you back me up?

either way it says it ships in 1-2 weeks, now.

signed cds up in her store

https://store.taylorswift.com/products/the-limited-edition-signed-in-the-trees-edition-deluxe-cd-digital-deluxe-album

apparently some people were able to check out with multiple copies. so, more stock coming from cancellations?

Has there been any update to the pressing quantities?

Here is what Discogs has.

1000 - Yellow and Blue (Vinyl Me Please exclusive)
??? - Splatter (DC webstore exclusive)
??? - Cloudy Orange and Clear (indie retail exclusive)
??? - Black
??? - Blue Galaxy (originally intended to be sold on the band's 20th anniversary tour)

I remember checking stock shortly after the splatter was announced. Probably about 10-15 mins after launch there were ~1,700 copies for sale. So maybe 2,000 or 2,500?

in for the 18-20 week preorder

Universal Music Group’s customer service sucks ass!!!! 
 

That’s all. 

Damn. I got a response from 4 different people to my cancellation request and a refund the same day. Sorry to hear they’re not helping you out.

Though it starts to drag a bit at the end/second half, could have shaved off 15-20 mins and been perfect.

I feel like her records have always suffered from not being edited down enough. I think 1989 and Fearless were her only records that came closest to hitting the mark in terms of content and length.

i remember back in the day when safe and sound came out, everyone could see that taylor could do this type of music, and it would have been the logical transition from country into something more adult. but she went full pop instead. so to get this record after all these years and all those pop records is super satisfying.

Ooh I'm glad I ordered the Malort color. Really digging that.

yeah, truthfully that pic doesn't do it justice, either. it looks kind of washed out. it's a pretty vibrant gold/copperish looking record.

haven't seen any posts of the malort variant. Just got mine in, I thought it turned out pretty nice.

also, this record hit with me right off the bat. I didn't "get" metropole until earlier this year. and in my opinion that's what this record is most comparable to.  nothing can top that fat wreck run they did back in the day.

All good. I ended up ordering #5 on its own and keeping the order of 7. I remembered that UMG are incredibly terrible in their customer service and who knows when my email to them will be acknowledged and get a response. 

 

 

Not sure if its helpful, but i just got a response from their customer service and they cancelled my first order for 7 -- 4 hour response time.  I ended up reordering for all 8.
