Sad Heart

Yah. I paid $27ppd which was like $36CAD. 

If you’re down for every vault release it is. I’m a huge TMR fan, but I only usually like one or two year. The tidal discount is nice, but I do a family plan for cheaper. So it’s really up to you and your use / needs. I think month to month is easier, and you can easily pause if you don’t like a release. 

My guy. I've been holding my tongue, practicing the whole, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all," thing.
 
BUT.
 
You need to stop spamming the board with every thought you have. Read the rules/guidelines, read the FAQ, lurk the site to get a general vibe for a little while and then eventually try again. Use the search feature a little bit to see if you get any answers to your questions that way.
 
Nobody here really gives a shit about reading your blog or looking at your social media unless you're in a very specific niche, or very good at what you do.
 
Have you recognized any of the bands/albums that you see posted about on here? You seem mostly interested in classic rock and pop, which makes up a very, VERY miniscule percentage of the posts here. I know I'm not here wanting to mentor someone who is just getting into the hobby who also shares very little of the same musical taste, and I imagine most people here share that same sentiment.
 
I wish you luck on your record journey, but this isn't really a "starting point" type forum. The most active users here have mostly been involved with this forum for well over a decade at this point and have been collecting for much longer than that. We're a little jaded, and a lot sarcastic, and you came in here with a lot of questions as though you've done zero research or work to figure anything out on your own. Take a break from posting, read some threads, come back later, and don't take it too personally.

Please stop. 

Haven’t listened yet, but I can’t justify paying $33 for 15 minutes of music. 

Apparently this board is Google search for this guy. 

I feel ya. All these albums I love having such major anniversaries is really giving me a reality check how old I am and how quickly time goes by. This album came out when I was a junior in high school. Crazy to think it’s been 20 years since that.

That’s less of a coupon and more of a referral code. So you get $20 yourself.

Dig it, and looking forward to the show, but still not paying $33 for it. Variants are cool at least. If it was $24ppd I’d bite.

Numero is going to be putting out a lot of great stuff from that vein this summer: Chino Horde, Boys Life, Tsunami, Thumbnail, Boilermaker, and more. So keep an eye out for that. Other bands you should check out (on Numero): Unwound, Bedhead, Native Nod, Bedhead, Codeine, Indian Summer, Current, Bedhead.

My thoughts exactly. I mean hell, Jonny and I were talking about how Tertia releases had damn gold foil on it, among other ‘cool’ packaging extras. The new owners of TC are out of their mind. I’m curious if the packaging designer shopped for the printer or if TC did it, and didn’t shop around or just approved it at a ridiculous price. I’d say ‘oh they probably are just being greedy assholes and marked it up a lot’, but I know that the packaging is expensive so they’re just incompetent and got taken for a ride. I’m curious if they found a new printer and they got a new customer price and were dumb enough to approve it. I believe the band are gonna make a response to this, per my last convo with them, cause this release is too bad for them to not address it. Triple Crown is sending me replacement discs, but sending it in the same sleeves I think. I asked for just regular sleeves and no ‘deluxe’ packaging, but said they can’t do special requests cause of ‘volume’. Thanks, SCP, for the standard macro responses in emails (classic Zendesk bullshit answers). 

Got mine in today. This is just insultingly bad. So first off the PVC sleeve has a strip of glue on it, so once you peel the tab up that’s pretty much it. You couldn’t even close it again if you wanted. The packaging was just a mailer so the PVC sleeve is creased and folded anyway; good thing it’s being discarded - but I paid for it. Secondly this packaging is basically two sleeves. That’s it. There’s no gatefold. The embossed white cover that makes you think it’s a gatefold via the picture is just an embossed sleeve. It’s not even wide enough for it to count as housing for two records because that’s not what it is. The other sleeve is just a standard sleeve made out of the same card stock / paper. The discs are definitely under 180g. I don’t have a scale, but I can tell. Lastly the wording on the site made it seems the entire release was mastered, but the wording on the PVC clarifies just the unreleased songs were “mastered for vinyl”. 
 
Even better is that is the most marred record I’ve ever received. It’s full of scuffs and scratches. Those paper sleeves really did a great job…
How Tc could charge anything over $25 for this is beyond me. And that’s putting aside how I’m going to need replacement discs. Wow. If I didn’t need this to keep up my collection I’d do a return / charge back.
