I would never purchase any vinyl signed, for much the same reason as a lot of you are mentioning. Unless I've met the band and have a memory of the signature, it is meaningless to me. That being said, I got Tera Melos to sign my self titled copy of their record and next to all their signatures they drew faces on all the dudes holding chainsaws. I'd never want to sell it and if for some desperate reason I did, I feel like it's something that would devalue the record for anyone else (though I really love it and it's one of my favorite records in my collection because of it). Talking with them while they were signing it was a really special memory for me that's completely priceless. Going off of what jhulud said, the value of your records shouldn't be that important to you.

This is just plain crackerjacks! I'm a little wary of the packaging, as well. Yes, definitely post up if/when you do order something; I'm really curious to know how it all turns out!

Does anyone find it crazy that Kmart sells Earth and This Will Destroy You vinyl? Just sayin!

What the heck? That's so strange! I just looked at Target online, out of curiosity, and found out they sell some vinyl, too! I don't know why I would ever order from either of those places, unless they put some stuff in clearance for ridiculous prices. With your discount, though, I would just go for it! That's something I would certainly take advantage of.

Must be.... Very strange.... Well, I'm not complaining. The price is certainly right.

I put in my order around 11PM and this morning I checked and it had already been processed and charged to my card. It said I'd have it in around a week's time or less. To those who ordered and already got their LP, was it packaged nicely? Not that I can really do anything about it now if it wasn't...

Polyvinyl is fantastic. They are always fairly timely with their orders and really responsive to e-mails with any issues. Almost every time I've ordered something they've thrown in extra buttons or stickers, too. And you always get an Airhead thrown in there. So awesome! Their prices rule as well, especially if you hit the Garage Sale.

Just ordered mine from CD Universe with the rest of ya. Very, very excited! I will be counting down the days!!!

Hey thanks for sharing that link. I'm still not feeling it yet, but I'm going to give it another few listens before I totally shoot it down.

I can understand where you guys are coming from. I'm not trying to come off as prick if that's how I'm seeming. The girl is a really close friend/coworker at the store I work in. This whole scenario is just something I've just never heard of happening ever; if anything I just want to know if anyone else has maybe experienced this at all. Which doesn't seem to be the case at all with Relapse, they are really awesome from everything else I've heard/experienced otherwise. Relapse is the one that claimed to my friend that other people were also getting multiple copies of the green/yellow records in their orders via their e-mail correspondence with "the girl." It's just a really bizarre situation, that's the only reason I'm sharing. I'm not trying to be a hater, especially being new to the forum.

Why are these prices so outrageous! I didn't think their last record was much to write home about and this new single is just OK. Yeah, think I will wait this one out. Little too pricey for my bones and for a record that may or may not be amazing.

More on Relapse: I don't think they are generally this bad, but on this Baroness release, they've been goofing up pretty bad. The girl who got two copies of the same green record on the new album e-mailed Relapse to try and get it resolved. They took forever to get back to her. Apparently Relapse has been having a lot of people with this same problem, getting multiples of the same LP. Relapse said they would send them the "right" yellow record, which she received in the mail two days ago. Except, once again, she got yet another copy of the green record, bringing the grand total up to 3 copies of the same record in a double LP. If anyone got a bunch of copies of the yellow record I'm sure she'd love to trade.

Couldn't get the promo codes to work /: But I did pick up Thursday A city by light divided and at the drive in in/casino/out and it was all buy one get one 50% off. At The Drive In ended up being $9! Not too shabby.

Must. Have. This. I am so feeling Whirr currently, great stuff.

It's not the worst horror story I've ever heard ever, true enough, but it is still super lame. That's the only time I have heard of Relapse really messing up an order like that, though.

Personally, I don't know if I'd buy a record without a sleeve. Sleeves are half the fun of it all! However, I'm the type that is really into having that original art in my hand. Anything less would be a tough sell for me. I'd be really hesitant to spend more than $20 bucks... Maybe not even that. It would completely depend upon how badly I wanted the record and how rare it was. How much of a discount are they going to give you? I think it's a little bit of a pricey record at this point... If you were going to try and look out for a sleeve like mindovermatter recommended, I don't know how much luck you'd have. You'd just have to be just that: lucky. If you are going to look into that avenue, I'd really consider how much you're paying now. Unless it's just a completely thrashed copy going for dirt, investing in purely a sleeve for your record seems like a waste when you could just try and get it all together to begin with. Especially when I doubt you'd find some empty sleeve for sale! I mean you might... I've never looked into that, but it just seems so slim. Idea- If you are artistically inclined, you could always take the time to go buy some 50 cent record at the thrift store and use that sleeve to make your own with personalized artwork. Hope that helps!

Relapse Records Wouldn't say best... Wouldn't say worst... I pre-ordered the Yellow & Green Baroness from Relapse. Long story short, I added a different shipping address than my home address out of convenience for myself. Anyway, Relapse put a hold on my order for quite a while until I finally took the time to check on it (still pre-release date). Apparently first time buyers must always ship to your billing address for your first purchase, which of course I'd never heard of before. I had to send Relapse an e-mail and have the order shipped to my billing address instead. By that point, I was in-between checks and when the order went through, OOPS, I was broke and the card declined (my own doing, so I can't be mad for that). I just told them forget it, cancel my order. I was able to just pick up the record at my work instead, which was cheaper to begin with. Positives: Relapse is fairly responsive to any e-mails they receive. Pretty much right when the business week hit, they got back to me right away every time. HOWEVER I knew a couple who ordered that same record over pre-order. They wanted the clear green/yellow colored 2xLP specifically. When they finally got their order a couple days after the release date, they actually got two copies of the same colored record. They were only able to listen to half of the entire album which was a bunch of cranberry sauce considering they'd already had to wait a couple days longer than everyone else to even hear it. I don't know if they ever got that rectified. For that I vote worst.

My boyfriend showed it to me; he'd had a lot of success with it (buying/trading/info/ect.) and I thought it was fantastic magnificentness! I spent the first 24 hours after I signed up drooling over all the things I wanted! - Though I doubt he anticipated that by encouraging me to join, it would imminently result in my becoming even more penniless.
