For those looking for pricing comparisons between deluxe editions here's what I paid including shipping for each on release day in Canadian funds:
In Rainbows: $100
The King Of Limbs: $48
A Moon Shaped Pool: $112
I usually wait until I have the record to listen to an album but I doubt I can wait with this one.
-
Ordered.
I recently bought a TV that was more expensive than this box set. I'll be lucky if I have it for more than five years. This box set I will have forever. Easy decision.
-
Did'nt see this one but , our local store here in this small(ish) city :
Blueprint Records
Lethbridge, AB
The only record store here in town. You can find vinyl at places like London Drugs and HMV, but just new stuff.
Yep, I stop at Blueprint every time I'm in Lethbridge or passing through. Good prices and super friendly staff.

Just got rejected for the first loan, which I expected. It was a HUGE learning experience. I'm giving myself 30 days until a go for the next. time to re-work some shit.
Did you go to a bank or a broker? I'm working on a similar start-up with two partners. We're about a week away, still learning. Send me a PM if you have any questions or wanna discuss anything.
-
Are both records red/black? For me, my side A/B is black und side C/D is red/black.
Yeah, both of mine are red/black.
-
Interesting... I just finished my first listen. It's a great album and sounds great too. I didn't have any noise issues from the scratches either.
Here's a shitty picture:
-
I just received my shipment. Both copies (one for a friend) I received aren't splatter. Not like I really care but curious if others who ordered the red/black splatter ended up getting red/black. I'm just about listen but I'm expecting a little noise because it looks like the records are a little scratched from shifting in the paper sleeves.
-
That teaser is incredible.
-
and gold/black /500 for EU
For Canadians wanting to preorder, this works out to be $10 cheaper than the US version.

If this poop conversation continues, I'm gonna run out of upvotes. Another from the can:
They're waiting patiently for me to get back into bed for this. It's hard to tell but Alice is inches away from my face.

No shame...

Thanks for this! I'm moving to Calgary in May.
Awesome! My wife and I moved here five years ago, we're both born and raised in Victoria. We love it here but it took some adjusting, especially the dry climate. Prepare yourself for static issues. I miss The Turntable in Victoria - Ernie is the shit. One of the nicest guys I've ever met working in a record store.
When we first moved here, I checked out all of the local record stores including a couple not mentioned: CD Trader, Heritage Music and Posters, Hot Wax Records, Lukes Drug Mart and The Inner Sleeve. I liked The Inner Sleeve the most and eventually started working there. Since then, our owner opened a vintage audio/record store called The Audio Spot. That's where I work now. I've been working on adding more metal to The Audio Spot but not a lot of punk.
My order of preference but since I'm biased towards The Inner Sleeve and The Audio Spot, I'll leave them out:
Sloth - for my taste, I'd say the best new vinyl selection and good prices. Used isn't that great though. The store is probably the cleanest and most inviting and it's in a great area. If you like poutine, check out The Big Cheese Poutinerie. Tubby Dog is also just a couple of blocks away.
Melodiya - not as inviting as Sloth, you need to walk through a comic store and I'm not a fan of their setup. Still good selection and prices. They're used vinyl is much better than Sloth too. Staff are friendly.
Lukes Drug Mart - best new vinyl prices in town, fairly limited though unless you're looking for most of the same records as everyone else. Used selection is bad but apparently getting better. Personally, I can't go into this store but that's just me. Other people love it.
Hot Wax Records - probably the best location in the city. I really love the Kensington area. I haven't been here since I first moved to Calgary though and I hear their selection is getting worse.
CD Trader - inside a mall, all used. Best to know your stuff before going in here. Prices are all over the place and no consistency at all. But you can find some really good deals because of it. Also, the guy watches your every move.
Recordland - I've only been here once and that was five years ago. I spent five minutes in there and couldn't stand it. My skin was crawling, felt so confined. Now, I have heard good things about this store since and I know some people really like it. Their new vinyl prices are good but I've heard their used vinyl prices are going up. They do have the most used records in the city, there is no denying that. If you have lots of time and aren't claustrophobic then you'll want to go here.
Heritage - as I'm typing this, I can't believe I've never been here. Judging by what customers say about them, I'd say they are definitely worth checking out. I'm pretty sure they are open late some nights and from what I hear, it sounds like a cool store.
Every single one of these stores is worth checking out if you have time. They all offer something unique and of course, stop by The Audio Spot and say hi. I'm at the store Tuesday-Saturday although I'm off today.
-
I think it is artificially out of stock—they just put this up late last night and if you look at their Facebook page, it's nothing but people complaining about the price. I'm hoping they decided to halt sales and revise their pricing scheme.
It shows in stock now. I think I'll hold off for now though. Hopefully they do lower it.

- What colour is the pressing? Black and clear are generally the best sounding. Come of the common mixed colour options like hazed colour in colour are prone to sounding particularly bad.
- Was it pressed on virgin vinyl? This has a small, but noticeable impact.
I think these two tie into each other. I have the some of the same albums on black and white vinyl, white and splatter etc. In these cases, they sound identical because the manufacturer used virgin vinyl. It is easier to get away with using recycled vinyl for coloured pressings because it is less noticeable in appearance. It's fairly easy to identify recycled black vinyl, it looks like there are scratches on the record but it's just inconsistency in how the vinyl material melts together. Recycled vinyl became more common in the 80's.
-
Showing out of stock for me. Yes, I am considering it even at that price...
-
I think the bad reputation stems mainly from their My Bloody Valentine reissues, which were licensed from the label but never approved by the band. MBV's Kevin Shields said Plain just ripped the CDs and mastered for vinyl from that. Judging by the few records I own from Plain -- and their sister label, 4 Men With Beards, both owned by Runt -- I don't doubt it at all. (And I'm not really Steve-Hoffman-forums-level picky about sound quality.) The artwork looks blown up, too, like they just scanned a CD booklet.
Of course, they're not the only labels pressing CDs to vinyl, but it doesn't help that they refuse to identify what sources their records are mastered from, both on the packaging and online. It's like they go out of their way to keep people in the dark, just hoping folks will stumble upon their records at the store and take a gamble.
Their Mr Bungle reissues are also garbage.
EDIT: I didn't know Plain and 4 Men With Beards were connected. Good to know!

Now we can read season 1 all in one sitting.
INT. HANK'S GARAGE - DAY
Walt looks over Hank's shoulder as Hank clicks the trackpad on the Macbook Pro. We see that he is browsing a vinyl forum.
WALT
So...this is what you do all day?
HANK
Yeah, Walter. It beats giving handies under the ABQ bridge.
WALT
What are we looking for...exactly?
HANK
Well, right now there's a real scumbag flipping an ETID 7" for a $15 profit. We have his VC username but we need to find his Discogs account in order to nail him.
Walt's curiosity spikes as he takes in this information.
WALT
They...make money doing that?
HANK
Yeah, the bastards stand in line for 7 hours, buy a limited edition record, and then they flip it for $20-150 Washingtons.
Walt points to a JPEG of Deja Entendu.
WALT
How much would I...theoretically...if I were to flip that record there, how much would I make?
Hank swivels in his leather computer chair to face Walt. Hank gives him a cold stare.
HANK
If you flipped this record...
Walt gives a hard gulp.
HANK
...you'd make over $200.
Walt's eyes open wide.
HANK
But I'd have to take you down.
Walt snaps back to reality. He realizes he's sweating. A little too much.
HANK
My own brother in law. (Pause)
The ensuing silence is deafening.
HANK
I'm just kidding! You'd never be able to pull off something like that. You're an adult. These dickholes are all under 30. (to himself) Hah! Imagine that. Walter White flipping White Stripes LPs.
Walt laughs along with Hank. We see, however, that he is up to something in his mind.
EXT. VINYL HERMANOS - DAY
Walt pulls into the parking lot of a record store. He exits his car and walks inside the store.
INT. VINYL HERMANOS - DAY
We see a clean, well stocked record store. Walt looks around for someone.
Walt sees a 22 year old punk girl. He shakes his head and focuses on a 56 year old man in a long white goatee and a stained t-shirt. He shakes his head again. We can tell that Walt might not know exactly who he is looking for.
MAN'S VOICE
(cheery)
May I help you?
Walt turns and sees a tall, olive-skinned man in glasses. The Tall Man smiles.
WALT
Hi. I'm looking for...someone who can help me with a...Record Store Day scenario.
TALL MAN
I'm sorry but Record Store Day was last weekend. Would you like to buy a 45 adaptor?
The Tall Man holds up a plastic red adapter.
WALT
No. I'll just...browse then.
TALL MAN
(voice changes to a more serious tone)
Maybe you should browse over in the jazz aisle.
Walt lifts his eye brow. He understands what the Tall Man is saying.
INT. VINYL HERMANOS - JAZZ AISLE - DAY
Walt looks at a reissue of Kind of Blue. He sees the price
39.99
and quickly places it back on the shelf.
TALL MAN
You would like to do business.
WALT
Yes.
TALL MAN
You know who I am?
Walt nods.
WALT
Fring.
TALL MAN
Kess Fring.
Walt takes a deep breath before continuing. Kess Fring looks at him, intrigued.
WALT
I want to flip 4 copies of the Pete and Pete Soundtrack.
Kess Fring says nothing. He looks over Walt's shoulder at a skinny indie kid who is a little too close to their conversation.
WALT
So...can you help me?
Kess Fring gives Walt one last slow look over.
KESS
(serious tone)
I own a vinyl cleaning plant. On the other side of town. Meet me there tomorrow at 1pm.
(cheery)
Hello! May I help you?
The Skinny Indie Kid turns around.
SKINNY INDIE KID
Do you have any clear Sufjans?
BLACKOUT.
INT. WINNEBAGO - DAY
Walt stands in front of his Google Chromebook in only a cough mask and his underwear. He yells muffled expletives through the mask, as he stomps his feet.
JESSE enters while Walt continues his yelling.
JESSE
Mr. White, I gave Badger the Foo Fi- (Jesse sees Walt is upset) Mr. White?
Walt removes his mask.
WALT
...because of ITEM NOT DESCRIBED?! They're REMOVING my listings because ITEM NOT DESCRIBED?!
Jesse looks down, suddenly guilty.
WALT
Jesse! Can you PLEASE explain to me WHY every listing you were responsible for posting has now been TAKEN DOWN? Because to me it seems like you INCORRECTLY and SLOPPILY listed all these Record Store Day releases in the marketplace for their FIRST PRESSING release pages! And that would mean that you PURPOSEFULLY SCREWED our entire operation because you're nothing better than a VINYL HEAD LOSER! So, PLEASE, won't you explain what happened because I'm sure you have a GREAT excuse?!
Jesse starts fuming. He's had enough of this kind of abuse.
JESSE
LISTEN, BITCH!
Walter is taken aback by Jesse's newfound boldness.
JESSE
I posted all those RSD copies in their regular, first pressing pages because I wanted to inflate the perceived cost of the original pressings SO THAT THE RSD LISTINGS WOULD SEEM MORE APPEALING. I posted the listings TWICE, BITCH! Once in the right release page and a second time on the first pressing release page! Check your Inventory and while you're at it, Mr. White, check your messages because according to my iPhone mailbox we sold 15 records last night!
Walter is speechless. He's never been wrong (or at least he's never allowed himself to acknowledge that he's wrong).
WALT
(more compassionate now)
Jesse...I made a mistake in how I read Discog's new email alert notifications. They changed the titles recently and-
JESSE
NO, BITCH! YOU'RE Rrrrrreeeeaaachhhhiinngggg! Have fun flipping records by YOURSELF!
Jesse storms out of the winnebago and slams the door.
WALT
JESSE! JESSE!
Walt, now a sad man standing alone in his underwear, looks at his Chromebook at the messages proving Jesse's story as right.
Walt grabs a cell phone and he makes a call.
WALT
Saul. We have a problem with Jesse.
BLACKOUT.

I was finally able to checkout with Wyldstyle. I had to refresh my cart quite a few times to get rid of some items and make changes but I have a PayPal receipt and order number.
-
Would be rad to setup a custom google map with the store location and comments about what they specialize in, tips, etc.
This is helpful but still missing comments, tips, etc.
