danionly Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I seriously doubt C&C is hurting for $$ enough to warrant this price tag. Other bands/labels seem to be doing just fine charging $25-30 for their domestic 2x releases. I just personally think charging $40 is taking advantage of the fans who have been waiting years for this release. That being said, it's your money so do what you please with it. I'm glad fans like you are finally seeing the rumors come to fruition. How did we start assuming the band themselves set the price for these? Maybe I missed it, but is it not possible the label or whoever owns the license set the price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far everything has turned out to be true and proven his/her trustworthiness, but that doesn't make me doubt them any less. Who's your contact?

Tawney Bomb Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 So...are we happy or upset about this pressing? I'm getting mixed signals. I don't know whether to get out champagne or my pitchfork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corey. Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I'm excited. I ordered this album on grey as soon as I saw it went up. Not seeing them on tour, and the current copies on amazon are pricey, so I'm glad to secure myself a copy for a (kinda) decent price and a cool variant. The album was still pricey, but I obviously paid it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fowty Dollaz Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 In all honesty, I'm super excited and hope that the black variant NEVER goes permanently out of print. It would be nice to see a good album stay in print, but this is the perfect opportunity for all those lacking a copy to pick one up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I find it super strange how super fans get defensive when people bring up legitimate criticisms. there's no reason a double LP pressed in these kinds of numbers should ever be over $25. People can defend the band and try to shut up disappointed fans all they want, but the simple fact remains... Whatever amount of profit is being made from these, could be made from increasing the quantity manufactured and decreasing the price.

Tawney Bomb Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Me too, I knew I'd never pay the eBay prices, so I was hoping they'd repress it like SSTB. I grabbed the grey one just to be safe, though I'd probably prefer the retail variant, though I may buy both, or all 3. Who knows. I just make poor decisions.

I agree, the price is more than I was hoping for, I was figuring $30 at most for this, but I do want to own it, so I'll eat the extra and deal with it. As others have said, I hope the retail variant gets a big run, like the Afterman albums, I still see them in stores by me, but I'm not being hopeful.
