niblips Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 it appears that you have to order the bundle with the CD collection to get the bonus tracks, which, I mean, fuck that. That's not how it looked when i ordered it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffbloom Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 $70 for NY.... Nope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 That's a real bummer that these are so damn expensive. I guess I'll just order The Power of Failing from Krank! and leave it at that for a while. Laaaaame. I did email the guy at ARR asking if he made a mistake pricing these though...hopefully he hit 2 instead of 1 and they're $18...but I doubt it :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bull shit on that about costs. I've been looking into pressing stuff and to do a 2xLP on 180 gram it's not that pricey at all. tape 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museummouth Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Link them to Modest Mouse and the media mail page on usps Link them to topshelf where every single LP is $12 and 180s are at most $15. tape 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Link them to topshelf where every single LP is $12 and 180s are at most $15. I bet the American Football reissue is infinitely nicer too. Along with every polyvinyl release of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Probably used Hot Topic to compare prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brettwilks Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 While I was slightly surprised at the price, I don't find it upsetting whatsoever. I've been collecting for over 10 years, and the days of $12 LPs and $15 double LPs have been gone for a while for the most part. It's pretty normal to see a $25 - $30 release nowadays. I plan on picking these up on my next pay day, even though I have both originals. $28 for a double 180g, remastered, band sanctioned, gatefold version of two of my favorite records ever really is a fair price...especially for records that have been going for $60-$100 on ebay for years. God forbid someone makes a little money selling music. brandy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandy Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Well, it is fairly pricey, but not too overly pricey like some of you are making it out to be. To put it into context, the 180g 2xLP variant for Converge's All We Love We Leave Behind cost $25. The 2xLP non-180g variants for Seahaven's Reverie Lagoon were $23. Yet there wasn't much complaining about the prices when those were released. Just saying... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niblips Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 it looks that way to me from a before-ordering perspective. if you do get them, then cool. the preorder double vinyl releases are supposed to include a DL with extra tracks as far as i remember.

Just saying... this. and the Jesu 'Conqueror' repress coming out is $30 and no one bat a fucking lash when that price was announced. people are very selectively crazy about prices it seems.

GhostTrail Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 To me, it's the shipping that's more ridiculously priced than anything. Hoping the price is comparable on Amazon so it'll even out with the free shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping the price is comparable on Amazon so it'll even out with the free shipping. Well, shipping is $4 for one of them. But $10 for both is indeed too much. Personally I'll be waiting to see how much it's priced on amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People complained about Seahaven, and it's still $20 cheaper to buy two copies from RFC. tape 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
