BuzzersonKillwell Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I was gonna just wait til it can out and order black, because I have no desire for another "clear gold" record, but it I couldn't pass up silver from SRC. What do you have against translucent yellow man? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I don't think it's gonna be clear gold, the ones I've seen recently seem to have perfected the actual gold color. If it's a plant that hasn't figured it out yet, then the silver isn't gonna be silver either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I don't think it's gonna be clear gold, the ones I've seen recently seem to have perfected the actual gold color. Sir Sly's Gold EP comes to mind, looks and sounds amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3arl Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 What do you have against translucent yellow man? I don't have anything against, but I feel like I have a dozen records that are that color. Didn't really feel like forking over money now for a pre-order specifically for that color. I don't think it's gonna be clear gold, the ones I've seen recently seem to have perfected the actual gold color. If it's a plant that hasn't figured it out yet, then the silver isn't gonna be silver either. The pictures look like clear gold to me (obviously they aren't pics of the actual item), so I could be wrong. And even if was "clear silver" (not even sure what the hell that would look like) that's something I don't have, so that would be cool.

Mathyou99 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Come on guys, at least skim the thread before you start jumping to conclusions. Numerous people have posted about how SSD is NOT NOT NOT NOT the exclusive distributor of the gold variant. One page back someone posted that MusicRecordShop.com is putting up their allocation of the gold copies tomorrow, plus there are are handful of European stores selling it online that are linked to right on the very first post. I wasn't trying to insinuate that SSD was the only online distributor of gold. I was just stating this was the only retailer I was aware of at the time that had it, and they sold out. Granted, I knew it was one of those situations where you scour the web enough you could get your hands on a gold variant but I'm just glad to have ANY copy, having a limited edition color variant is just the icing on the cake for me.

Mathyou99 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I'm just glad that people like me who have yearned for this album for years will get their chance to own it on wax. It made my day, hopefully it makes all of yours too!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circasurprise90 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 paid the same price last month for the boot... damn I want that gold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Nobodies mentioned it yet, but I'm guessing the poster will be the same as the original? I'd like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdturbo Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Not going to lie, I want to pick this up really bad, but I'm going to pass. I can't afford $45 right now. Not saying it's not worth it, but it's too much for me. shut up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andi Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I'm hoping for some labels on the discs. The original doesn't have them. I hate that. andynz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beags Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Ended up pulling the trigger on the silver at $67 USD. Anyone know if the sleeve will be numbered or if it will be numbered on a shitty slip that comes with the vinyl like the last ones I bought off SRC came with?

brillwill Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 lets get real here. The original had a 10000 print run and has been scarcely available. 3500 and even 1500 is a pretty small amount, especially if you consider that the Mars volta probably has over 15000 fans who would likely want to buy the album. This is going to sell out and prices will remain elevated for the foreseeable future until another repress, especially with the recent resurgence of vinyl. If you want this album, especially in a limited color, you should probably pre order it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience, anything limited run Music On Vinyl, has a gold stamped number on the back bottom corner. I read that SRC has the only limited US release which is the silver, and it will be foil stamped and limited to 1500. I'm sure most of the other posters are probably more knowledgable than me but this is what I've encountered with past limited edition vinyl pertaining to MOV.

I would rather spend 45 and get a copy first hand then pay 100+ on a second hand copy that was owned by an infant who didn't know how to take care of an album and probably played it on a crosley with a broken needle. Also you have to imagine people who own the OG will probably buy one of these because the originals sounded bad and all. The days of 15 dollar big name represses are probably over.

tvham Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 The gold is listed as a preorder on Juno: http://www.juno.co.uk/products/the-mars-de-loused-in-the-comatorium/529836-01/ I've ordered all my MOV releases from them, they ship quick to the West Coast and packaged well.

With MOV's history of doing great presses with excellent sound quality, this new more limited release will likely be the desired press, especially because the old silver picture discs sounded like crap (and still commanded a 300 dollar premium in mint condition).
