So… good? Bad? Decent? Anything? I don’t use Spotify.

The fuck is with the $12 priority mail shipping. That’s the only one showing for me.

I can’t find the presale code for tickets on my member page. Does anyone have it?

Yeah it’s like they’re charging $70 for signatures. I have my other records signed by them. It’s not hard to meet them at shows since they usually hang out before and after. I was still willing to pay the $100 though because I’d rather the band have the money than some random. Whatever. the release should have been postponed an hour or so to fix the issue. The test mode thing gave too many late-comers the opportunity to have the record in their carts already. It was all luck.

I was on the site before it went live. There was a site owner password. Kept refreshing and got one in my cart. Website was in test mode for 13 minutes and wouldn’t allow people to checkout. I went to the IG post to see if it was just me. Sold out within 1 minute while I was checking the post. My friend gave up within 2 minutes because he didn’t give a shit. long story short, I didn’t even get one. Back to supporting flippers on eBay I guess.

It’s also possible neither of us will succeed. Better to have two people trying. And technically since the band doesn’t want fans buying records from resellers, me and a friend buying one copy direct is exactly what they want. Why would I buy a $75 record from some random seller when I can get the money direct to the band?

Got my alarm set for 5pst tomorrow so I don’t miss it. It’s 1 per person and you can’t pick the color but I’m gonna have a friend try to order one too so I can hopefully get one green and one yellow.

Nice! No I have been waiting for prices to drop more. They’re slowly going down.

Did anyone happen to order an extra copy of the purple swirl Bloom repress? I didn't even know it was a thing. I feel like VC has significantly dropped in terms of people posting about releases. I use to never miss a release and now half the time there aren't even threads for a record until they're sold out. https://store.foreignfamilycollective.com/products/rufus-du-sol-bloom-2lp-limited-edition-purple-swirl-vinyl

So many variants of those albums! 😣

I see it now. On the page for the black vinyl it’s just the lighting or something is weird on the second photo. So yeah, don’t pay attention to me. I’m old.

https://imgur.com/a/uY635gB I don’t know. I swear it looks like a super dark red or brown to me. The IG post is the only place it looks like that. It’s clearly black on the website. Maybe my eyes are fucked. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I’m a little confused. The photo they posted on IG today looks like a book style gatefold and the color looks like a dark burnt red color. I have no idea what that is or where to order it.
