Shelby Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Wait, so what you're trying to tell me is that MOV is marking these up higher intentionally because they know demand is so high for these records??? Preposterous a business would never do such a thing like taking advantage of consumers to add to their profit margin!!! Higher revenue is so not punk rock. There's a new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayCauseDeath Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I have never purchased a Mars volta record before, so i cant really be picky. I picked up the blue to save some money, but I agree its very high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
̮ ɤ ̮ Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 These represses just remind me how lucky I am to collect in the US. I only have to pay crazy amounts and shipping for a handful of records I import. This is the norm for collectors outside the US Indeed it is. *sigh* thesewoodenideas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juturna90 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I've come to the conclusion that buying and collecting vinyl is just an expensive hobby and that's the way it is. You're always going to be paying more in manufacturing and shipping prices through certain markets. At least they beat the prices people ask through disogs, eBay, amazing whatever. agaetisbyrjun and Rapidfiretollbooth 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesecrets0308 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Amputechture comes in 3rd place for my favorite TMV album, I'll still be looking to buy, hopefully at a slightly reduced cost after the release date. When Frances the Mute comes though... Love that album front to back. andynz and danionly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinji Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 If SRC really did put up all 1,250 for sale today, that's nuts since there's only about 565 left. Also, not that it truly matters at all, but will these copies be numbered as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

distinctlydustin Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 But who the hell wants a bunch of boring black copies when we can have COLORED records? "You haven't really listened to it until you hear it on colored vinyl, dudebro!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruffy...the janitor Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Decided I should listen to this album again to see if I even want it...maybe I have my answer right there? I think I don't really need anything after DL and FTM. mikeburns and thoughtriot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far these are the only re-issues. Someone at MOV said the FTM is in the works for later this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a black copy of DL pre-ordered; wish I would have jumped earlier on that. I was about to wait on a black copy of Amput.. but I thought I'd go ahead and order.

I'm pretty sure they stealth repressed The Bedlam in Goliath. Of course anything after Amputechture can be repressed at any time, it was the first three that came out on a label that doesn't exist anymore.

thesecrets0308 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 "You haven't really listened to it until you hear it on colored vinyl, dudebro!" For my money, I look for sound quality and couldn't care less what color or style it's on. Sure, cool looking records are cool. But if it only LOOKS cool and doesn't sound cool, I don't want it. eg... picture discs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course anything after Amputechture can be repressed at any time, it was the first three that came out on a label that doesn't exist anymore. (speaking of the vinyl versions) I want to say it was maybe a month ago that I saw an email from SRC saying Bedlam was back in stock. I see this happen with SRC titles quite a bit and always chuckle when they make a point to stress the limit to a title's availability so "don't miss out and secure your copy". But then a little ways down the road, they get another batch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
distinctlydustin Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Even thought it's backordered, I placed an order for Bedlam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Even thought it's backordered, I placed an order for Bedlam. You can get that for the same price and in 2 days using amazon prime. It's also in stock everywhere else I dunno why you'd place an order there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juturna90 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Yeah I actually found it cheaper than the online prices at my local record store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
