Le Gogh Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Thanks for pointing this out! Ordered a copy of A:BAL. The copy of AYE sounds amazing, probably the best record I've heard, really hope this is up to the same standards... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim McCall Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 That 7.99 shipping sucks. Wish there was magically a free shipping code... I politely pointed out their absurd shipping rates and they never wrote back to any of my e-mails again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Pink goes much better with the artwork. Also I went nuts on Newbury yesterday... Ordered Nick Cave, Hendrix and Father John Misty.

vinyl addict Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I picked up the new Hendrix Mono NC release. 200 grams of ultra clear orange vinyl. Really cool, you can see right through it. Sounds incredible and its perfectly flat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicky Greenleaf Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 How do you tell how many are remaining? I want this Elliot Smith, but not sure how fast to jump on it... Just add some high # to your cart and it usually gives you a message saying how many are available to order. I tried to add 5,000 copies of that Elliot Smith record to my cart and it gave me this message - "Sorry, we only have 508 pieces available for: Elliott Smith - Elliott Smith [blue Vinyl] [Vinyl] (103-2095055N)".

BeardedSteven Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Very interesting... I tried adding 250 to my cart but got a shipping error message. Adding 5,000 told me 502 were left. Thanks for the trick! I think I will just break down and order... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Exquisite Death of NK Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Once again Newbury reissues a limited, colored version of a record that is readily available. I make a post exactly this almost every time they announce another release. I don't care how you spend your money, but here are some options for buying this record that will save you $5-10 plus shipping will likely cost less. Of course, it wont be limited or on fancy blue wax, but the music will still be the same. danionly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectrum Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 You can't be upset at Newbury for this though. It's Kill Rock Stars that sold it to Newbury and offered to produce a limited blue version of this record. Newbury just agreed to buy 1000 from them and resell them.

The Exquisite Death of NK Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Does newbury take paypal?! No, but many sites who are selling the same music (albeit on black wax) do. That 7.99 shipping sucks. Wish there was magically a free shipping code... We all know that the cost of shipping a record via media mail is between $2.xx and $3.xx. Charging $7.99 for shipping is a way Newbury can profit more for these sales. They over charge for shipping, pay the USPS the actually shipping cost, and pocket the rest. Its not illegal or immoral or anything, but its a practice that I don't want to support. Most sites that sell the same music (again, not on fancy colored wax) charge the actual shipping price (with maybe a very small amount added to cover the cost of the shipping materials). I'd consider buying from them instead. You can't be upset at Newbury for this though. It's Kill Rock Stars that sold it to Newbury and offered to produce a limited blue version of this record. Newbury just agreed to buy 1000 from them and resell them. I'm not upset at Newbury, Kill Rock Stars, other labels that partner with Newbury, or anyone who buys these over priced releases. I'm just sharing with other vinyl enthusiasts options to purchase the same music for a more affordable price. If you choose to buy from Newbury, I don't think you should be able to complain about the continual increase in vinyl record prices. People who purchase these types of releases are contributing to businesses who are trying to make more and more money (which isn't in and of itself wrong). Because of this, the prices will continue to rise as long as people pay those prices. Again, its your money... do what you want with it. I'm not upset or freaking out about it... I'm just not going to spend my money that way. TheGhostOfRandySavage and jonnywreck 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
