Absolutely, but collector dork. I've been holding out for the inevitable special repress.

it's especially weird for a channel that shows 125 hours/week of reruns of a clip show and hasn't shown a music video in years to still have this award show ostensibly for achievement in music videos.

It always floors me that copies of any release that's on PO readily available are already on eBay for double and triple the PO price. 
 
 

She should be on that page too!

 
 

Cool opinion. I still think both albums are great, but I'm sure there is something you like that I think sucks. 

BUY THE DIP, USD to the moooooooooon 🚀🚀🚀

Apparently, a Wax Ecstatic pressing is in the works.

First pressing Wax Ecstatic vinyl coming soon!
We are excited to announce the very first pressing of our second full-length Wax Ecstatic this summer! Details to follow...
Stay tuned!

I suppose we may have wavering opinions of what “taking advantage of the fans” actually entails.  Keeping stuff in print is really cool, especially when you price it reasonably.  I have friends who’ve wanted to own Fake Train without the extra content from Rat Conspiracy – which is bizarrely overpriced on the aftermarket – and before this 2022 press, your best bet was a 2017 repress which was starting to climb up in price.  I hardly think it’s scummy of Numero to reissue it on colored vinyl, 5 years later.  Compare that to someone like Newbury who seem to price their exclusive based on the OOP aftermarket value established today [“yeah $40 MSRP for a single LP is high but it beats $100 on Discogs, right?”].  Or who also press 800, sell 700, and “find a box” of 100 to sell for double the original MSRP, later on in the same year.  To me, that is infinitely scuzzier.
tl;dr
I’m not sure Numero is actually doing anything, really, to vilify here.
There was probably not enough interest to justify colored variants for Unwound vinyl in the early 00s.  The individual box sets could’ve been colored and that’d be cool, but I think their presentation and content offer up enough for fans to double-dip.
At least this way, the catalog is staying fresh and in print, and reaching a wider audience at a fair price. The ol’ “black vinyl first, color vinyl later” sale approach is so tried-and-true at this point.  I half expect to see (and re-buy) anything in my collection that I currently own on black wax, at some point, on a colored variant.  Even stuff I’m convinced will never get reissued or see the variant treatment.

I can assure you that no pressing plant cares about your songwriting cred. 

I hope you mean fall of 2023 because you certainly are not getting that pressed anytime soon.
 
As you have no experience and a plant that is overworked isn't going to bother with a one off project  I would use a broker like pirate press to handle all your needs from lacquer cutting to test press to actual press to jackets. You need a one-stop shop.
 
 

at least theyre being honest about when to expect vinyl lol. better than pushing it out 3 times.

Too bad they didn’t press Wax Ecstatic instead of pressing this again. 

Looks like MOV is reissuing this in the near future.

i refuse to check but if there's no animal crackers in my soup i ain't fuckin w/ it

couldn't go anywhere because I'm stuck at home with the ol' Coronavirus Disease 19, but managed to get basically all of the small handful of things I was looking for (excepting obvious impossibilities like Taylor Swift) thanks to the online leftovers. bless up.

Take one for the team and be the guy who asks about the status of the reissues

I find it hilarious that this thread literally put people in danger. 

Posting in a Brand New thread. 

I'm very impressed and happy for them that after a 3000 unit first press of a new record which comes after 9 years of silence, it needed a repress before the release date. Wish this band got the recognition they deserved in their prime. 

This album is now too old for Jesse Lacey. 

Missionary is traditional, but still effective.

Relapse is already on their back catalog. Also, EVERYONE buy as much Cave In shit you can directly from Relapse so they feel it will be cost effective to get some lawyers working on the rights for Antenna.
