Chill on the homophobia. That goes for everybody.

There is probably no bigger display of faggotry than being excited that you have a new day to downvote some more.  You must live a fulfilling life jerking off to the rainbow of colored plastic discs in your collection. 

The music I pretend to listen to doesn't consist of 90% filler and a few good songs that  merit being put on a 12 inch single just so I don't have to endure a full 40 minutes of torture by being forced to listen to the whole thing on a vinyl lp. For the most part, I enjoy listening to my albums in full. It sucks that you only like a few choice songs from the artists you covet. I don't know, maybe I am misunderstanding your obsession with the 12 inch maxi-single.

FARTS

Look at you all with your cuss words and insults lol. Take a good look at yourselves. Go look in the mirror I mean really, is that all any of you can do? You're all angry because you all know I'm right. Why do I buy vinyl records? I don't just buy vinyl i buy CDs, i buy them to listen to music I like and I do it in whichever way I think is the best way, that means price, where I can buy it, how badly I want it, lots of reasons. The other guy up the page likes to tell me that vinyl records weren't much good in 2007, at least when I walked into a highstreet music store here I went in and the place was full of 7" singles, 12" singles, imports, white labels, albums. The statistics might show otherwise but the selection ie. what you can buy ws far far better than it is today and if you are a music fan then you would have bought singles. Singles were a cheap way of buying a song you liked but maybe didn't want the album. It's no surprise I walk into those same stores now and the singles section is a tiny little shelf and the rest is overpriced LPs, most of them reiusses. Now don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Bruce Springsteen or Bob Marley or AC/DC and all these other artists that seem to overpopulate record stores but for someone like me who buys music to listen to it at that time, it doesn't do me much good. I'd take 2007, infact right up till the end of 2009 even over 2010-2013 any day of the week. You say I hate the fact that people who like the same music as me keep their music in frames. The kind of music I like, nowadays, I can't buy on wax unless I either buy the album or I look at the bootleggers and see what extra tracks they've stuck on with it and even then the bootleggers can't seem to even get that right these days because any singles they do release they release them months after they've been released to itunes so buy the time I get round to buying it I've already got another bunch of singles I'd like so I don't even buy bootlegs all that often unless it's something i really really want. I'm thrilled that vinyl records are selling so well but I'd be lying if I wasn't just a little insulted at every article I read about it claiming as if vinyl is back, as if it was gone and now it's this new thing that the kids are into. It never went away. It's the highest in 20 years and I look in record stores and I see names like Vampire Weekend and Daft Punk and Sting and I'm thinking what on earth are these people buying. I'd love to know where the sales are coming from. If this is what they are buying now, all these overpriced LPs they would have loved it just 4 years ago when it was just a regular format and the prices were much lower.
 
 
I daresay the crowd that are buying records now would have loved all the cheap 7" and 12" records. They could have got 4 or 5 for the same price they pay for an album. For them to make a comeback people would need to stop buying vinyl again. But of course that is all nonsense isn't it. And as for you Derek, I'm not any Try Hard or whatever you call it. I made a thread saying what I felt needed to be said, everything I said was true and if you don't like it tough. If i wanted to know your opinion I'd ask you. There is no crime about saying what you think, then again you do live in America, I know you don't have freedom of speech over there anymore. Old Barry from Kenya seen to that. Couldn't even vote an American to be your President could you and now the TSA have their hands down everyones pants in airports and you have all these patsys running around trying to scare people into giving up their guns and all these other fake things going on in the government. But on here no one will know Derek. On here you can have your Freedom of Speech back. On here, online , in this forum your constitution is real again, it's a real thing that means something and I wont take that away from you even though your President took it away from your people in real life. On here you can speak your mind but don't ever.....call me names or try and badmouth me ok. We got that? You're a good kid, you're passionate, I like your passion.

I followed the yellow brick road.

It was 2007, and I don't care that you think vinyl was big, the record sales show it wasn't. Digital sales were in their infancy, CDs were still king, and vinyl was for nerds, old fogeys, and DJs.
 
 
That's a nice way to talk about the founder of this forum isn't it?

Okay, I posted before I saw that you talked shit about The Boss. You can straight up go and fuck yourself with a cactus, good sir.

All the brave talk as usual. That's the applie pie and coca cola talking buddy. Turn your Bruce Springsteen records down and come back to reality with the rest of us.

I collect music.
 
You collect round pieces of coloured plastic.
 
LOL. Dumbass.

There you have it folks ^ White working class America right there.

tl;dr?

That means you open it up and you play it and are able to hear it. I was looking at some albums today, not that long till they're out and others only just out in the last few months and not only do I see terms like sold out and limited and varients but I see people doing trades. Then I browse the very few music forums I bother with including this one and I see these same terms and what I did was I looked at these albums that have sold out in just a few months and also to the ones coming out and it's the same kind of thing. This one will be numbered, this one will be red but this other black varient is only 1000 copies.
 
 
Really? Is that what music is now? That to me means it's shit. How can any company or label with a straight face say they care about the music they are releasing when they stick a number on each one, different colours on each one and then places like this talk about it so you end up with all these people buying the damn things just for the sake of it having it as a collectable. Don't get me wrong, if i owned a label, i'd take every penny I could get out of all you people. You deserve to have your money taken out of your pocket, you deserve to be ripped off, you deserve to pay $30 for a piece of cheap PVC plastic stuck inside some cheap cardboard cover. If i was them I'd do the same damned thing because obviously hand written numbers and colours and limited pressings means more than buying something because you want it and it's going to give you pleasure to listen to it.
 
 
I applaud the bootleggers. I wish they would do more. Paragon done some great bootlegs over the last few years with regards to 12" singles. What we need is more bootleggers to start pressing albums and sell them fast and cheap. Let's face it, major labels are just gonna stick the same CD master onto the record anyway, it's not like they're gonna spend any time making sure Katy Perry sounds good on vinyl so I think we need to go back to the 1990s where the white label was king and you all know that anyway. You know the albums you buy from Amazon are just as good as any bootleg, you fool yourselves into believing you're getting something better but it really isn't. I'd rather that than be told there is only 1000 copies of an album being pressed but oh no....that's just a colour, if you want it on black vinyl well, you're screwed cause that sold out in so many hours but don't worry you can still buy some on white vinyl from this cowboy website in America and pay lots of shipping on top of the premium price because remember it's limited!  We could easily press 5 or 6000 of them but we'd rather fuck you up the ass and get what we can while we can. What an insult to me and my fellow music fans.
 
 
It's all money money money. Anytime i read the word varient or hand numbered or limited I will think of the word money because that's all it is about. And don't any of you lot think I'm on your side, I told you people not that long ago it was your fault for killing off the 7" and 12" single and now through sheer greed and ignorance you're starting to kill off the album LP. Shame on all of you that buy into all this hype and talk and throw your money at these money hungry labels. And you can badmouth me all you want like you tried to do last time because I mentioned I liked popular music and this place thrives on guitar driven music and lets sit barefoot singing a song about love and peace and the thing is, at least with my music, i don't need a million options, I don't need money taken from my bank account months in advance because some geek who has more money than sense decides to dive in and buy it for the sake of making a quick buck rather than giving it to me, someone who actually wants it for the right reasons. When Eminem's MMLP2 gets released in a few weeks, and it will be on vinyl in the UK, no word on the US yet. At least I know i can not only buy it on release but I can buy it at Christmas, next year even, maybe next Christmas or Christmas 2015 because real labels don't just pick a number out of thin air, they keep pressing them and keep making them available to suit the demand. It's like the 100,000 copies of Justin Timberlake's 20/20 album. Those copies will last years. That's how it should be done. Infact I don't even want any replies in this thread, I just had to get that off my chest and let you people know what I think and what I think is right, I'm always right so don't try and argue back at me because you know I'm right and I don't care what the excuses are, It's BS and it ruins the very thought of buying a musical album. Music was never about that and it should never be about that.No one should ever have to feel pressured about buying an album because oh no if you don't buy it now then you can't later. All this stuff about colours is rubbish too, no coloured vinyl was ever superior to black virgin vinyl. Hand numbering? That's fine as long as you keep making them, you don't just stop after a certain number, if the demand is there then you keep going, you don't force people onto Ebay or Discogs. Or you do what the big labels do, you press plenty and you do it on black vinyl and you ship it everywhere you can.

I agree
 

apparently more deets came out today, as posted on modern vinyl:
 
As part of Black Friday 2013, Cake will be the subject of an 8xLP box-set, including the following work:Motorcade of Generosity (last pressed in 2008); Fashion Nugget (last pressed in 1996); Prolonging The Magic(previously unavailable on vinyl); Comfort Eagle (previously unavailable on vinyl); Pressure Chief (previously unavailable on vinyl); a collection of B-sides and rarities; Showroom of Compassion (last pressed in 2011); andLive From The Crystal Palace (previously unreleased).
 
Each will be pressed to 175-gram colored vinyl and each will be remastered for the format. The retail price given by Vintage Vinyl (an indie record store) is at $139.99.
 
if $140 is the actual price, i'll gladly take it. shit, that's less than the going rate for Fashion Nugget alone.

Ok, I just spent the last two hours doing some Discogs updating.
 
Every release in the database that specified "Hot Topic Exclusive" now will appear here:

I gave the downvote because in his thank you, it (which is now edited out) said something along the lines of "actually contributing to the thread." It was snarky and deserved the downvote.
Basically he was complaining that people were posting about the patd info.
I now have 0 guilt casting the downvote as the part that earned the downvote was removed post-downvote.
 
EDIT: I love how I got a downvote saying that Discogs isn't comprehensive. Lulz
 
Double Edit: Now I'm getting downvotes for explaining why I downvoted another post. HAhahahahahahahahaha

It's a pretty big let down IMO.  Didnt need any hype for this.

That list isn't definitive; it contains the releases that are in the database that people have added Hot Topic as the distributor. 
 
I can tell you that every HT exclusive that I own is on that list but not everyone does it.
