    Too Many Pre-Orders....POs need their own Forum Area

    in Vinyl Collective Message Board

    Posted

    I come to this website often....it's a good place, with good information and good people. POs are one of the main reasons I come here.  However, there are far too many POs posts taking up the General Forum and things get lost way too fast.

     

    Does anyone else agree that Pre-Orders should have a separate area? 

     

    My thought is that the Forum should have these as the main topics when you click the BOARDS link:

     

    1) Vinyl Collective Message Board

    2) Sales/Trades/Wants

    3) Pre-Orders

    4) Turntables

    5) Everything Else

     

    It feels like it makes sense.....talk amongst yourselves!  Make a change...or don't...your call!

     

    Agree or Don't Agree...that is the question?

     

    PO: Beck - Morning Phaze

    in Vinyl Collective Message Board

    You are correct about Mutations and Modern Guilt....AND Midnight Vultures.  They are all one black vinyl pressing (although Mutations had a 7 inch included).  But in Beck's defense, he has been pressing at 180 gram before it became a stamp of authority.  Both Mutations and Midnight Vultures were released around the height of CDs and the start of MP3s, so the fact that he had high quality vinyl at 180 gram during that era shows that the label was treating him like a long term artist.  I think with Modern Guilt, it was his last record under contract, so it got released fast.  In fact, I think he recorded Modern Guilt in less than two weeks with Danger Mouse....so Beck might have had his foot out the door when Modern Guilt was done.  I'm not even sure if he toured for it. 

     

    I also remember reading that Beck didn't really have much to do with Odelay being re-pressed and expanded.  The label kind of forced it on him and he was wondering why they were giving it the expanded treatment after only 10 years.  Off topic, but interesting.

    Beck has some seriously good pressings on vinyl.  The Information is one of the best presentations and packages I've ever seen for a record.  Even his three singles this year where pretty damn impressive..... so I'd bet that we see a variant for RSD 2014 or something more elaborate than a single LP at a later date. 

     

    But for now, my ass is content with new music....period!

    AVAILABLE: January 14th, 2013

     

    As one of America’s great modern day vocalists and songwriters, Mark Lanegan has much in common with the timeless work of such legends as Fred Neil, Tim Hardin and Karen Dalton. The former frontman of Screaming Trees, collaborator with Kurt Cobain and Queens Of The Stone Age, half of a modern day Nancy & Lee with Isobel Campbell and, most commonly, solo artist, Lanegan is a man whose career has been defined by an unwillingness to sit still.

     

    Light In The Attic are set to shine a spotlight on this great American performer and songwriter with the release of Has God Seen My Shadow? An Anthology 1989-2011. Collecting Lanegan’s solo material for Sub Pop, Beggars and more plus 12 unreleased tracks, this is the archive treatment Mark has long deserved. It is released in two sumptuous formats: a Double-CD edition with a gatefold, tip-on jacket and a 44-page booklet comprising hand-written lyrics and rare archive photos by Charles Peterson and Steve Gullick, and a Triple-LP box set, each LP in single pocket jackets within a heavy, tip-on slip case, with a 20-page book featuring the same attention to detail and extras as the CD release.

    The 32 tracks shine a light on Mark’s rare talent, and span the singer’s entire career, from 1990’s debut album The Winding Sheet to a treasure trove of recent unreleased gems and feature such guests as PJ Harvey, Josh Homme and J Mascis. His is a sound of grizzled vocals and dark melody, its lyrics chiseled out of late night thoughts and dark humor.

    • Anthology co-produced by Mark Lanegan
    • Double CD housed in a handsome gatefold “tip-on” jacket, including 44-pg book comprising hand-written lyrics & rare archive photos
    • Vinyl box set includes three “tip-on” jackets, housed in a custom “tip-on” slip case, with a 20-pg book comprising hand-written lyrics & rare archive photos
    • Includes 12 unreleased tracks
    • ON-LINE ONLY (limit one per customer): First 150 pre-orders get limited pressing on TRANSLUCENT YELLOW wax! Don’t sleep!

    I Am Tired of Repressed Records In The Same Year! Especially For RSD!

    Nope... you got it wrong.  I'm far from greedy by asking the labels to be honest with us.  If you reaease something that is clearly advertised as "exclusive, colored, 180 gram, hand numbered for RSD" but don't inform me that you a pressing twice the amount to sell 2 months later, then that is deceptive.  I love both the bands I was talking about (White Stripes, Mad Season), but pissed off that I spent more for something that would have been available a few months later for far less money.

     

    It's not collector mentallity, it's just about being informed and not deceived!

    YO!.....It's a metaphore taken out of context.  The metaphore was "It's like having a funeral for someone and the day after everyone wants a piece of the inheritance!".

     

    I am not saying buying a record is like a funeral, I'm saying that "greed" kicks in after a succesfull release on RSD and everyone wants a piece of what is leftover, so they repress more and more and more records.

     

    Get it now?

    I feel you.  You are right, T and S offer it up the right way and most likely most of their stuff won't get repressed.... and thanks for bringing them up.  I remember them pre-releasing something on white vinyl and then releasing it to the mass media on the actual date, which is totally acceptable and respectable.

     

    I'm just tired of bands acting like it's exclusive for RSD and then releasing it a few months later.  There are so many bands that could cash in on "limited for RSD" and then pressing twice the amount a few months later....like The White Stripes....like Mad Season.

     

    It's just not f'n cool!

    So...here is the deal.  I'm tired of repressed records...in particular within the same year!  Yeah, older stuff that hasn't been pressed in a years, decades even is OK (and sometimes f'n awesome), but I'm super tired of going to RSD to buy exclusive releases and finding out they repressed it a few months later.  Don't give me the "Why should I buy more on Ebay for limited quantities argument either" or "supply and demand", because that does not fly with me. 

     

    For RSD 2013, we have alrady seen repressed recoreds by The White Stripes Elephant...IE see Mad Season's Above.  Both were limited, but a few months later are massive releases. 

     

    I mean, I get that they change it from Numbered and Colored to Not Numbered and Black, but I'm tired of seeing bands offer something exclusive and then later offering the same thing in a different varation only a few short months later.  It's not like I'm against bands making money, but I'm against disclosing it's limited because it's stamped and then pressing twice the amount a few months later. It's like having a funeral for someone and the day after everyone wants a piece of the inheritance!

     

    It devalues the entire point of collecting.  I am guessing that even if you repress 5000 black records after you sell 5000 stamped records, the cash you are making isn't going to put you into retirement, so why risk your fan base if you pull that garbage?

     

    Anyone feel the same way?  Can you think of another band that you felt duped by for shelling out coin for RSD only to be pissed off a few months later? My thought is that RSD should have a contract with the bands that they can't repress the vinyl for a certain amount of months / years after they contribute to RSD.  After all, it's a massive success and probably wouldn't disaude bands and labels from the concept of supporting RSD!

     

    In full disclosure, I love buying vinyl and I support bands, but I don't like buying something that is advertised as limited and then be jacked a few months later.

     

    Off my soap box...talk amongst yourselves!
