Gippej Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Wow these are expensive. Great color choice for awake though. Will pick up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vool Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Worse than their LP prices are the shipping costs! Shipping one 2xLP to Germany is $46! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbyers2009 Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 Wow these are expensive. Great color choice for awake though. Will pick up. Yea I love that awake color I was wondering why the cost went up like 6 bucks. Will definitely be getting awake not too sure if I want infinity though. That's always been my least favorite dream theater album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enjoytheride Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 ETR pressed these and will be selling half of the swirl variant (500)....while the other 500 are being sold via brookvale records webstore. The black will be USA indie retail and white euro exclusive. ETR shipping cost will be less for intl but will not come with tracking (which is why the brookvale int'l shipping option is so high). I will make a new thread once Pre orders go up....we are likely changing the PO date to a few days before. These will be IN HAND and shipping by the last week on October as well for those interested THE_James_Champ and bossdj26 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoStairwayDenied Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Awake was probably my favorite DT album, their darkest one IMO. I haven't listened to them since Metropolis Pt 2. I had tickets to go see in like 1999, but instead I got in trouble with the cops a few days before and my parents grounded me.... ha. I'll be grabbing this for sure and trying to find a copy of Images & Words in the meantime. My old guitar teacher would be so proud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't care about it being an ETR variant I know MOV pressed it and it was readily available I have the gold swirl from ETR though and it's gorgeous here's a link to the MOV http://www.soundstagedirect.com/cgi-soundstagedirect/sb/ss_mb.cgi?storeid=*10aaa248a916d2410f53&ss_parm=A0ec1453852eca9da9b956d1e13ab5797 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really cool with paying 2x the price of something because it's a different color. With that said, thanks for the link man. I'll probably grab it tomorrow.

I mean, they're always like 10€ more expensive than all other releases... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markok Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Dont buy the MoV Dream Theater vinyl - they sound like shit, distortion is especially present in the inner grooves. Just download the vinyl rips from rutracker to get an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada i think is around $15 Excellent, thanks for the info. That's right on the money for 1st class International mail so will be ordering from you if I can. Pirates Press usually use GZ vinyl. They're stuff is usually pressed well so that's good. I've had the odd LP with dirt/grime from them but on the whole they're good (and certainly better than Rainbo).

Yea, i made a point to go with pirates (actually had to get the licensing label to work with them for the first time). I have had some issues with Rainbo customer service in the past and refuse to use them moving forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just download the vinyl rips from rutracker to get an idea. Normally I would agree just on principle with images just because it's crammed onto one lp. However there is zero distortion on mine and even the last track each side sounds great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markok Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Some crazy stuff in this thread. Since when is Pirates Press a good pressing plant? All the records I have from them are dished as hell, the only exception is the Blotted Science first LP. kk-downing and JumpingBean 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
