nelso330 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I'd say those that missed out need not worry! They did it a little opposite than Perils where everyone thought that was it after CV then pops up the readily available blacks copies. With 3 colors of this scoring one won't be hard if you're diligent!! I would strongly suggest if you have a good relationship with a local store have them order you one ASAP!

forbenator Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 So I messaged LUNAmusic via Discogs. In case anybody was wondering... this is what they had to say... Me: I was curious, seeing as though Caldo Verde put up a 'Blue vinyl' 2xLP option for Benji today.. Does this differ from the copies you guys are selling? LUNA: No, they are the same. They are also already sold out on Caldo Verde. Me: "Limited to 100 copies on blue vinyl. In a gatefold sleeve with lyric sheet." <-- Is this misinformation? LUNA: No, the release was limited to 100 copies. I guess we'll let Vinyl Films prove them wrong because we all saw roughly 300~ copies for sale via Caldo Verde sunkilmoonfan and wellnow 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellnow Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I'll trade someone a new blue Perils for a blue Benji. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxmartinxx Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I'll trade someone a new blue "Pearls" or blue "Benji" for a "Among The Leaves". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Probably that Luna themselves are confused about how many blue copies exist. They're under the impression that only 100 were pressed, and that there were plenty to go around for both their store and also Caldo Verde's webstore.

Derek™ Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 A little confused on the pressing info on this. Is Vinyl Films pressing the black and yellow copies - 900 each - while Caldo Verde is handling the 400 blue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 It's most likely all Vinyl Films. They have done all the other releases. They are done in conjunction with Caldo Verde. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it's probably a joint release - thanks for the insight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelso330 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I wonder if only the Blue variant has that bordered artwork? Or if all colors will be like that? It would be dope if just the Blue had a slightly different cover art! (doubtful) - granted a white border being the difference isn't really much to write home about! I am just a sucker for variation in cover art.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunkilmoonfan Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I'm guessing that Luna thought they had the exclusive, and now are a bit embarrassed that they had said so. Because you are not the first to ask them, but you are the first to get an actual response... and if they cared to look, they would realize that there were 300+ out there, perhaps even take it off their homepage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrocks Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 i will admit im surprised. i had heard of MK giving Luna exclusive pressings before (perhaps that is where all the marbled promos end up) and i certainly did not expect to see the blue pop up on CV. happy, but surprised. i do often wonder where the ~300 "promo" versions of each SKM release end up since they never come up for sale, for the most part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunkilmoonfan Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I was just a bit bummed to have Luna charging $40 (a $15 premium above MSRP) on a limited pressing of 100 (understandable), only to have Caldo Verde offer the exact same record for $25 and throwing in a free CD to boot. While I'm happy I secured a copy, I'm a bit turned off on how it went down. Why Caldo Verde and Vinyl Films can't just give the fans a good idea of what to expect, rather than the mad dash & easter egg hunt it has become...

shamrocks Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 wow were they really charging 40 bucks. im all for the success of the indie record shop but thats pretty crazy. but i guess its also tough to sell things for MSRP knowing full well they will be on ebay immediately for 4 times that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelso330 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I believe it was originally due Today...but my local store said they are still waiting on the label, no distro's have it yet...So that AUGUST 12th date seems to be the new release date for ALL colors, I assume... Also my store said they are getting Blue Perils copies...LOL jesus.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somethingvinyl Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 My local store said they were going to get these. That remains to be seen because they say that A LOT. But if they do, I'll hook someone up at cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrocks Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 bullmoose update just said they expect to have some yellow and if your order number is 29846 or lower you are very likely to get a yellow. everyone who ordered black should get one. they also mentioned the blue perils...they say limited to 400. i wonder if this could be the mythical promo version? i kept my order on there just in case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmoney Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 bullmoose update im wondering about the blue perils...they say limited to 400. i wonder if this could be the mythical promo version? i kept my order on there just in case My order number is WAY before that so hopefully I'm good on the yellow.
