No, you are talking about investing in a penny stock. Anyone who paid for the lifetime subscription without considering the chance the label would go belly up is naive. It was a business just like any other business. They invested hoping that down the line they'd make a return on their investment (in records, not dollars). It didn't happen and that sucks, but that's how it goes sometimes. What would you call "key information"? And the Madoff comparison doesn't make any sense at all. Madoff took peoples money with the intent to defraud them. Virgil just didn't do a good job running his business. A couple of things. First, the SEC only has jurisdiction with respect to publicly traded companies. So something privately held like VC shares are not within the purview of the SEC. Second, even if someone makes an investment in equity securities that is purely speculative, management of the company owes fiduciary duties of care and loyalty to the company/shareholders. A breach of these duties can give rise to claims for damages. The duty of care requires management to exercise reasonable business judgment in conducting the affairs of the company. The duty of loyalty prohibits management from engaging in self-dealing or preferring its own interests at the expense of shareholders. To be clear, I'm not familiar with the precise facts surrounding the demise of the VC co-op so I'm not saying there are viable claims here. My point is that shareholders are not without recourse when their investment goes belly-up as a result of gross mismanagement or self-dealing by the company's principals.

If this guy screwed me out of serious money and then gave me the run around, I would absolutely threaten suit.

I was in Prague 11 years ago and it was my favorite city I've ever been to outside of NYC. I know it's gotten a lot more expensive over the last decade but beer is still cheap. Also, the women in the Czech Republic are disproportionately smoking hot. Krakow is also a great city with a lot to do (be sure to check out the salt mines). I was there during the dead of winter and still had a great time. If you're into beer, a short trip from Prague is Ceske Budejovice where the Budvar brewery is. EDIT: I almost forgot this. The Dalmation Coast of Croatia. Freaking awesome.

Found it. Easy answer: Contract was up and they wanted to do something different. Cool thanks. I was curious about whether Epitaph dropped them. I guess not.

I have this on red somewhere in my parents' house along with my Rancid 7" collection. I've been trying to find them for years. The Goldfinger cover of Up the Junction is so f'ing good. I don't know the pressing info though.

I feel like I talked to Greg about this once. I'll have to find the interview and give it a listen. I'll get back to you Right on.

Speaking of the Souls, did they ever say in interviews why the left Epitaph? I was never able to find anything?

I'll buy as many as they'll allow me so I can hook people up here. We'll also see between now and then if Chuck makes this available in his online store.

I'll be at the NYC show and can pick up multiple copies of the 7" if people want 'em.

For anyone in mainland Europe, these are up at Greenhell too.

I was refreshing my browser on this topic and saw -1 come up at the same as your post so I made that assumption. My mistake. I don't care about karma either except for the amusement I get from someone smiting me on the internet. Anyway, I do sincerely appreciate your info on this pressing. Thanks again.

Thanks dude, much obliged. And thanks for smiting me, that was awful cute.

Thanks dude, much obliged.

I am fully cognizant of that hombre, which is why I asked geezfools the question.

Where did you get that info? This gaslight forum is saying that the red and yellow UK pressings are /150. http://gaslightanthem.org/thc/horriblecrowesvinyl.htm

It's kind of annoying that SideOneDummy has been mum about the pressing info for the UK versions.

$100 ppd.

Hasn't been announced yet. Could be a different color red like the difference btw the blood red US and bright red Euro Elsie LP. Could end up being no different except for the "made in USA" and "made in EU" in the fine print. I bit the bullet based on the assumption that it will be different enough.

Preorder for the UK pressing is up at Banquet now. No details yet on color or quantity. http://www.banquetrecords.com/thclady

For me, Last Rites, hands down. The heavily rocking extended outro was just sick.

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers: Damn the Torpedoes Black Keys: El Camino Bruce Springsteen/Suicide: Dream Baby Dream split 10" Johnny Cash: self-titled (2000)

Jizz mopper.

Ha. I was watching that auction too! Bummer deal. The same seller has another one on Ebay now.
