    nothingnatural reacted to Derek™ in Macho Man Randy Savage-Be A Man Silver LP   
    “Only 300 of these webstore exclusives each made. Black and White Swirl with OBI Strip and a PICTURE DISC.  Both with Hype Stickers. If  Record Store Day April 2023 demand isn't telling enough, I can promise you that the after market price on these will be over $150.  When we launched the RSD Purple, the demand was 9X what we manufactured and most stores only got 1 copy. In fact the demand was second only to Taylor Swift's new album that dropped the same day. Many of the larger stores shared that this record was the one they received the most calls about leading up to record store day.  So I don't need to tell you that this is going to be a collectors dream and that only 300 people in world will be able to get their hands on these. I hope it's you!”
    Probably the most embarrassing product description I’ve ever read.

    Fuck, I was at the Sacramento show and didn't realize there was an exclusive. I'll ask the drummer when they finish this mini tour and see if I can snag us a couple.

    These prices are mind numbing. I would buy that gold nugget but $75 is too much. I’ve been building a new site for the labels I work for and I was doing pricing for the shipping and media is almost as expensive as the new USPS mailing options. You include the cost of a mailer, we use the good whiplash mailers that cost $1.25 or $1.50 each, the cost of paying someone $20 a hour to ship stuff, and that $8 media mail is on the money. The world is changing guys and I’m preordering less online and buying more in a shop. It’s cheaper and the social activity is good for me.

    I guess that's why it's important to draw a line in the sand and vote with your wallet.  Because that shit's a slippery slope.  We can balk at Chino and the gang asking $75 + shipping for a double LP with a folded poster, and assume it's just an outrageous exception that surely wouldn't become the norm.
    But inevitably, a few more artists and labels will get inspired to follow suit.
    And before you know it, 2024 rolls around and it's "welllll it's not $90 for a double LP, so $50 is much more reasonable.  Seems normal for today's economic climate."
    The technology behind a vinyl record and how it's played isn't improving.  The packaging nor presentation are being reinvented to justify these prices.  And press quality is more hit-and-miss than ever, especially as pressing plants continue to scramble to meet demand.  There should be no real reason that prices are inflating this bad.  Straight up.  It's greed, and too many people are game to comply in an effort to prove their fandom or avoid missing out [😨] and paying resale prices.  Labels know this.  I imagine that in the history of vinyl production, profit margins have never been fatter than they are right now, for any artists getting away with $40-70+ for a single LP / double LP.
    I just think it's a dangerous game to play.  At what point do we call it?  When a double LP is $50 on average?  $60?  $70?

    Looking forward to the releases, but dreading the fucking prices. I have wanted that YOTR released on vinyl since the album came out. The prices of basically every band I love are making me want to quit buying records. Deftones, Lush, Melvins and Failure I will always pay whatever stupid amount though.

    nothingnatural reacted to Bronchitis in PO: Codeine - Dessau   
    After the success of Codeine's Frigid StarsLP, the trio of Stephen Immerwahr, John Engle, and Chris Brokaw booked time at Harold Dessau Recording in June 1992 to track an eight-song sophomore album. A few days and a couple of unexplainable high-pitched frequencies later, the record was scrapped, shelved, and forgotten about. Brokaw left the band shortly after, and these songs were re-tracked in various iterations for Codeine's final LP. On its 30th anniversary, Numero has unearthed these recordings, restoring the original White Birchto the band's exacting standards with producer Mike McMackin. A slowcore masterpiece hidden in plain sight.

    I’m pretty excited to hear this. White Birch is easily my favorite Codeine album and one of my favorites of all time.

    Here's my Duster and related bands stuff, excluding Calm and Mohinder since my bed isn't that big. Also didn't feel like digging the Static Cult Label CDs and tapes out of whatever box I put them in when I moved. Never really went out of my way to "collect" anything, except when I bought that tri-color Stratosphere for no reason.
