beardacus Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I'm so stoked for this record. One of the first records I bought with my own money when I was a kid ..10 years ago. Ugh. I'll definitely be picking this up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy plays bass Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I'd love to see their whole discography pressed. I snagged Nothing Is Sound a few months ago (the most I've ever paid for a record, but no regrets) because I'm sure there isn't enough demand for a repress. I bet the first three records would sell decently well though. Unfortunately, I doubt Oh, Gravity will ever happen, although I'd love to be proven wrong.

TFP Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I would like to get both, but I'm not sure if I should wait or not. I know Hello Hurricane sold pretty quick and this seems to be a popular Switchfoot album also. I don't want to have to pay flippers prices later.

SpazzyMcGee Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 I would like to get both, but I'm not sure if I should wait or not.

I think HH should get a repress sooner or later, it's their only Grammy winning album so it would have enough draw I think. I doubt a major label would press it so my only thought is for a small distro to press it, SRC, SMLXL, Spartan, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
music Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Tomorrow, Monday Nov 3, we will be launching the pre orders for Switchfoot's "The Beautiful Letdown"! They will go live at 1 pm EST here:http://www.shopradiocast.com/products/Switchfoot-%252d-The-Beautiful-Letdown-LP.html We have set release date for December 16th however the records are already pressed and in the warehouse! We are just waiting on the jackets which should arrive in about 3 weeks. We WILL be shipping these before release date once those arrive. The 180 Gram white variant is only limited to 500 copies so we expect these to sell out FAST! For those who miss the most limited there will be 1,000 on 180 Gram blue vinyl.

The Saint Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I don't think I could ever push myself to buy this. Although it'll never happen, I'd love to have "Only Hope" on a 7-inch. I love that song so damn much. Ah, one can dream... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFP Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 yes. and sometimes it takes them a year to ship the record to you. It's funny you say this referencing Juliana Theory, because today's SRC email blast said this: We have set release date for December 16th however the records are already pressed and in the warehouse! We are just waiting on the jackets which should arrive in about 3 weeks. We WILL be shipping these before release date once those arrive.

music Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 getting so sick of white records I'd prefer the 500 to be blue and 1,000 white at least. $27 with shipping is a bit high for one disc but it's 180g and gatefold with insert.

It used to be standard practice for gatefold/insert/record to be about $12 cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museummouth Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 $27 with shipping is a bit high for one disc but it's 180g and gatefold with insert. That should never be okay. jtcohenour and Fridge Fox 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 oh, has vinyl been expensive for the last 3-4 years? huh, that's new *yawn* /obvious sarcasm, not saying I don't care... but I don't care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmhmm Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 But it's a preorder, so the shipping should be 2.99 right? That makes price-gouging okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmhmm Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Ordered. It'll be interesting to see how this sells, given how difficult it is to find some of their other less popular albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beardacus Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 snagged both the white and the blue. cool beans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFP Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 It would be nice if we could get some clarification from SRC how many of the /500 are actually available? I think like 250 of them are set aside for the Subscription. So there is actually only 250 of the white for the public. This is the same thing I wondered for Finch "Say Hello To Sunshine" and that is still available..haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Grabbed white (because I'm a sucker for buying the most limited, blue would have be nicer), and The Dillinger Escape Plan - One Of Us Is The Killer (anyone know what colour they have in stock?). .... could there be a stranger order? I hope this is a head scratcher for whoever ends up packing this, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This assumes they actually 250 people commit to the subscription, but a good question nonetheless. Edit: I was able to add no more than 380 copies of the white to my cart just now.

I remember jumping on that like it would sell out and I just saw that yellow is still available. Whoops. Should have waited for clearance.

Vector53 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Got the record on blue. Don't really care to have another white pressing or the limited dealo since this is just the repress as it is. Happy to even have this on record now at all for a reasonable price. Klefki 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 this is just the repress as it is. I'm fairly certain this is the first time this record has been pressed? Discogs does not have any record of a previous pressing, and I have never encountered mention of one elsewhere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
