this is good record porn.  no nonsense, nice quality pictures of interesting variants.  5 stars

Form a relationship with a local shop. Most brick and mortars are struggling and really appreciate the business of regulars. So much so that they sometimes offer a discount to ppl who regularly buy a decent amount. I'm all about relationships and my local shop owner is a badass. He orders me what I want that he doesn't have on hand, constantly turns me on to awesome music I would never hear otherwise, and throws me a 10-15% discount depending on what I'm buying. Don't expect a huge discount on brand new high demand releases, but used stuff you can get awesome deals. Plus there's something magical about a good record shop.

yeah i mean he refunded me the money.  somehow i just feel like a nigerian prince is looking for me to offer me a great deal on transferring funds.

locked in for life, i heard...you can die, but then your kids will have to keep paying

looks great

yeah, fuck a tie-dye amirite

"otherwise, Mrs. Lincoln...how was the play?"

seriously all you music makers, fuck a tote bag.

but look at all that negative feedback

i think an equal travesty is the fact that the most awesome looking set was so limited as to encourage this behavior.  i dont know what went into the tie dye variant, but there were 4 extremely limited pressing configurations, seemingly designed to get people to fight to be first in line.  a better way (IMO) would be to have randomly inserted TD into the regular pressing orders.  i have no complaints with how it was handled, just suggesting that these types of things encourage the secondary market
 
oh and allowing people to buy 2 sets at once absolutely guaranteed this would probably happen.  i dont think its a problem at all, but the very nature of the vinyl industry today seems to be based on limited variants that are instantly collectable (read = $$$) as they can command a higher sale price and foster interest in the next release, etc.  complaining about flipping is pointless now.

im getting more and more upset that i waited for a go post rather than just submitting at noon exactly

I'll be sorting it all out today and ill get back with everyone as soon as humanly possible

a new record by a great band that costs $15/16 shipped from the best label going isnt enough huh.
