Fat Wreck joining the $40 double LP game with their re-release of the strung out live in a dive. I’m out. This hobby sucks.

Especially since they still have copies from the 2011 press on their site for half the price. Not sure why this needed a repress. 

Like... I'd love to support this band, the label has put out some quality releases, but that mega jump in price makes it seem like they'll be sitting on these for quite some time too.

Big woof @ the price tag.

This’ll look fantastic and I’ll prob regret skipping it like I did with the Suburbia/Upsides box but I just wish there was something a wee bit more tempting than the aforementioned demos and voice memos.

I’m frustrated I never got a 800 press and I was on there as soon as they went live.

Same. I never have much luck with this label's releases. 

I remember hearing this sounds like poopoo, which makes this an easy pass when it’s that pricy.

Loved this EP when it was released, but if “Stilts” doesn’t sound pristine I don’t want it.

I *could* be mistaken, but at this point it just kind of feels like it's Nick's band and they're all just living in it.

We’re probably never getting our Select Start records right? I haven’t heard anything in months and have like four outstanding orders from 2020-early 2021. Has anyone received updates or records? He stopped replying to my emails. I never got Luigi’s Mansion, Crash Bandicoot, Animal Crossing and Super Mario World. I don’t even know if Animal Crossing was ever pressed, I know the others were.

Yeaaaa I have more in outstanding orders with him than I wanna admit. Every now and then I’ll get drunk and fire off a mean e-mail at him, but otherwise I never really expect to see anything in return.

Is it stupid that I'm fucking excited to try and get that pinwheel variant? Need some Limp Bizkit in my collection.

No… I just popped this on to see if I even wanna consider it… before opting out due to the inevitable awful price tag.

Anyone wanna comment on the actual audio? Better than the last two pressings?

Can't speak to the quality, but I just ordered a couple bootlegs from this person:

Pricey, but pretty cool releases.

I will report back once I have them in hand.

Your screen name gives me little hope…

Ex-members of Creepoid with members of Bad Sports,  Radioactivity, etc… Great EP.

For only $16 too! Someone fucked that one up, haha. 

Big time… but I sure am not one to complain! Lol… this sale reminded me how hard it was to not drop a bill when records were priced like this.

Scooped up a lot, but mostly excited about getting the 3xLP “Stay Positive.”

Shocked that any of these are still available at those pressing numbers… just listened to my picture disc and am debating purchasing these. It really doesn’t sound bad at all, but I’m wondering if these might add a little something.

Regardless, also came here to say I miss Var.

Lol why does this band keep trying?

I wish that “Straight Ahead” pressing was being offered state-side, but I’m still not ruling out purchasing.

This is cool and all but holler at me when they repress versions and tropic rot.

Lol those albums are good and all but this ain’t the right take.

Bumping this ancient thread just to say I miss Robbed The Bank. That's all. Carry on.

That artwork is almost as bad as the band name.

I hate what they did with the artwork, but that remaster does sound excellent.

I'm listening to a podcast with Poli now and it opened with "formerly of The Bombpops" and I'll admit I saw it coming. They're one of my favorite current Fat bands so it's definitely a bummer for me.

Damn, did she say why she quit?

it's strange and sad that this band could stay afloat in the cancel culture.

 

I saw them in Vienna in the mid 00's at Give it a name festival with TBS, UO, Thursday and Emery and besides they were pathetic and awful, aftershow underage girls were literally queueing up to french kiss the singer douchebag, we tried to break that up with taking photos and he was mad as hell and yelled at us (even the girls too) and he invited all of them onto the tourbus. It was soooo disgusting. 

There could be a whole thread devoted to this guy’s awful behavior. Pretty much all of those Epitaph/Rise metalcore ass bags were/are really scummy and had no business being around underage girls ever. Anyone remember Emmure?

Been meaning to share that article somewhere. Supply and demand baby. Plants have (perhaps somewhat unfairly) increasing the cost of their services both due to raw material increases (like PVC pellets) but also so that labels might reconsider doing a press and they can get their lead times back down to regular times. I've certainly been chipping away at my new monthly purchases. Use to grab like 4-6 things a month, now it's closer to 2-3 to keep under my $100 a month budget.

Ahhhh, THIS makes sense. Definitely a bummer, like you mentioned, but supply and demand is what it is.

$40?

Yea this completely caught me off guard. Like, how can they even justify this price point?
