This board is about to explode

thats the shipping cost. the delivery confirmation is like 75 cents more. plus i have to drive to the post office, wait inline etc. The avergae package to ship one record costs me about 4 bucks. Is making a dollar on the entire process wrong? I dont think so at all

love this album. loved them last night

two audit are on discogs for 25/make offer

they take 3%. I can live with that

and i would see this http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/green-day/2012/irving-plaza-new-york-ny-3bdd9804.html

Listened to in on my ride today. Would think it would have fit in nicely after warning or nimrod The question is when they tour(best coast is opening up) are they gonna play the shitty idiot and21 st songs with bliie joe talking in between every verse of actually be something worth seeing

bought at local shop..purple

going friday

Jesus, as if Travis post two days ago saying it will be up shortly didnt explain enough What is wrong with people

Mine is still in buffalo ny since sept 10

I wouldnt compare records like this. just my two cents

The first one had more of a goth depeche mode feel. This new one sounds like a dance record

This album is horrible, in my opinion

is this a new vinyl trend..what the hell are you talking about

You joined just to comment An internet site as invinyl does not have the overhead that a regular record store has. They can sell things cheaper to get you to purchase it and still make a profit. He doesnt have the same stock, utilities, and overhead that a normal store does. Hydrahead is a label who is obviously selling records based on their cost factor. Look at most distros, they dont contain HH releases

Did you compare the quality of a No Idea record to HH. Come on now Fat Wreck and DW are owned by artists on the label. They are much bigger than any band on HH. They tour, they sell more records, they sell more merch. This isnt intense economic theory here. And to everyone that is arguing that records dont cost 20 normally. I goto my local stores almost every week. Merge record releases are 17.99. Epitaph releases on their site are 18 bucks. Its ok to pay 18 bucks for a Bad Religion album on a label that they own and will tour than 20 bucks for a record that the band and label have to work other jobs to support the release? 18 bucks for a new Propgandhi record that you guys are drooling over that you try and buy 3 copies of so you have every color? Are you really arguing over 2 bucks If two dollars is a deal breaker for you on a record, i recommned think the next time you walk into starbucks and spend 6 bucks on a cup of coffee how expensive things are

To the When hot topic, a retail chain who makes money off a selling other goods and can absorb cost sells you Thursday or Thrice repress for 20 bucks of a record that has been out for years you are ok with it. When a label whose only income is from their artists sells you a new Nihill 2xlp for 25 bucks that you cant get anywhere else and is new music and is not going to sell many copies, its a rip off

Here we go. 20 bucks is almost the norm of a single lp these days

--- Hydra Head Records has never been a smooth-running operation. We've spent the majority of our existence excitedly scrambling from one thing to the next, taking on more than we could ever possibly hope to achieve, and never quite finding solid footing in the midst of our self-induced whirlwind of chaos. Though not every second of doing this label has been enjoyable, it has been a very rewarding and meaningful project for me, and I hope for many of the other lives to which it has been directly connected. The fact that it has lasted close to two decades at this point is astonishing, and much has changed during that time - the lives of those directly involved with running the label, the bands and artists we've worked with, and the nature of the music industry itself. Though many of these changes have been positive, or at least illuminating, the impact of our history and current industry circumstances are culminating into a slow and somewhat painful death for the label. It certainly isn't an entirely unforeseen event, but we didn't think it would come quite so abruptly, or (perhaps naively) ever. The decision to pull the plug has not been an easy one, and in some ways is a not a choice at all. The simple fact of the matter is we've been running on empty for a while now and cannot afford to keep our doors open for much longer. Years of imbalance between creative ideals and financial realities, personal problems amongst the label operators, an unwillingness to compromise our aesthetic standards, a tendency towards releasing challenging (i.e. unmarketable) artists, and the steady decline of the music industry in general, are amongst the chief reasons for our inability to continue. It is a harsh but undeniable reality, and one which we are attempting to confront with as much integrity and grace as is afforded by the circumstances. For the short term we will continue to operate as we have been, effecting our first step into shutdown this December, at which point we are cutting off new releases from the label. Thereafter, we will be remain operational only in the interest of maintaining our back catalog, with the ultimate aim of repaying our rather sizable debts. Grim though this prospect is, in the midst of it all I still feel an extreme gratitude for everything that has happened and for all the wonderful people with which we've been involved over the years. We've been lucky enough to work with some of the most unique and provocative artists of the last two decades, many of which have made indelible impressions in the underground, and by extension the larger world of music in general. We've also been fortunate to have had the support of a small but loyal following, who've constituted the very essence of our life force. We would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude and love to each and every person who contributed to making this label what it is - all the artists who entrusted us as the custodians of their work, all the people that bought or listened to our releases, and all the people who performed the various label duties at various offices (and houses) across the continent. ...and this brings us to the present moment, where in all honesty we are in need of financial assistance from anyone and everyone who's willing to throw us a rope. Though it is highly unlikely we'll be able to resuscitate the label, we do wish to follow through on the final round of releases to which we're committed and pay off our debts to our artists and manufacturers. In order to do this we are initiating a massive sell-off of everything we can dig up and produce for the next 6-12 months. This will include discounted bundles of CDs/LPs/posters/etc, represses of certain titles for which we still have parts, test pressings, and whatever worthwhile items we can pull together. For anyone that is able and willing to fund our funereal arrangements please visit our direct mailorder or webstore and pick up whatever you can. Any and all support is greatly appreciated by our remaining team, and will be put to the best use possible. There is no way to sum up nearly 20 years of incredibly important music, experiences, and evolution other than to say a big heart felt "thank you", and that we hope this closing will provide an opening into other even more positive and rewarding experiences for all of us and all of you who have been a part of our shared experience. For now we bid you all a very fond farewell.... -Aaron Turner 09/10/12

what does graduation have to do with buying records

You weighed a NOFX record, or any record in general. What is wrong with people

i am surprised nobody has commented on the fact that these were taken on the back of a moped

Record comes up often for those prices. I got one for 35 bucks

I swear that this board is so anal about records. Its insane Jazz records wear to collectors because of the overall sound A blink 182 record, no many how times you spin it, will always sound like crap
