kamalatapes Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 Black here too. Ordered the day it was put up. Can't wait to listen. Just in case you might be down for the hunt. Theyre popping up at local shops. Im guessing with shops that consistently buy from Drag City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoon Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Yeah, strangely enough 5 copies on red showed up at my local shop in Sydney (while I'm in LA). I'll still be holding out for my mail order copy to come in on colored wax, failing that I'm seeing Ty 4 times next week and can hopefully grab a copy from him.

numanoid Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 So if you order directly from the label, pre order even, you're not guaranteed a copy on color. But if you happen to walk into a random store you might get one, but you don't know until you open it. And if you do find one and you already ordered from the label, you gotta double dip. I'm not understanding their logic here. They almost never put out a release on color. Okay, so they threw the collectors a bone, that's cool. But why is it so random? It seems like they should do a first press on color and have it available on the site, and no stupid numbers like 100 on color. Do the whole first run on color. All represses on black. Or 1000 on color, mailorder only. Stores get black. I preordered, and if I get a black one, I have to track down a colored one. And this release isn't cheap, $25 on their site means $30 in a store. Or a tour only variant would be fine too, except that he's not coming anywhere near me. This is just lame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apirk Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I think it is kind of fun, but I am not a hardcore variant collector. Kind of prevents some flipping and the I like that you have to open it to find out if you got one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ookowalsky Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Can you get me a copy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numanoid Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Same here. I'd pay someone back for getting me a copy. I'm assuming the one from Drag City will be on black. Then again, maybe the black is the rare one... The red looks really nice though. Looks like an old 50's record with the label, when they used to categorize singles by vinyl color. Red was rock, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mexican Summer record label once told me once in a while a pressing plant will be like, "hey weve got x amount extra color to burn through, would you like to add that to your initial order for no charge? However when we distribute they'll be random." Who knows though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcpherson123 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I totally want this on black and was assuming it was going to be all on black. That red does look cool though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numanoid Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I'm irritated. I pre ordered, but then grabbed a copy at a shop because I was hoping for color. Big mistake. Now I gotta come off of one, as I'm sure the one from the label will be black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbruise Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Stop buying it for the color. CaptainHerbalLife and stl_ben 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Stop buying it for the color. This! Christ! Sorry to be a dick but get over it. If you're obsessed with getting something more limited for the sake of it being limited, then rethink why you buy vinyl. I'm sorry but you're making it seem like the label is causing you some great affliction or presenting you with some sort of obstacle to pull more money from your pockets simply by not making the color variant readily and easily available. You've got to accept that some labels are going to do other variants randomly and that's the way it is otherwise you're going to stress yourself out about something that you should be enjoying. stl_ben, Parker and apirk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numanoid Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I'm buying it because it's a good album. I'm after the color because I'm a collector. I could just as easily get the mp3's. I mean, why even buy the vinyl at all? It's also funny to look at the trade lists of people who say that, and they're littered with "translucent green", "tour press /100", "signed by all band members", etc. Chuck Shivers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apirk Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Some people buy records to listen to them and don't really care about the collectability of the record it is just their preferred way to listen to music. stl_ben 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
