allenh Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I picked up the last two I needed (Volta and Biophilia) from my local independent yesterday. I've always liked Bjork but her albums have fallen into the category of artists that I thought I would get when I had the chance and these coloured ones have galvanised me a bit to buy them, I bought all the others in there a week or so ago and got him to order the last two for me. Now I'm mostly listening Bjork for the next month or so I expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jermainejagger Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I usually NEVER buy duplicates of albums but ive always been tempted to purchase the debut reissue since it was my introduction to the world of bjork when i was a kid and because that beige vinyl was so enticing... so when a copy popped up online from a store i regularly shop from i had to grab it since it was only for 20bucks!! So happy i waited! Although ive seen many people say this one sounds amazing i wonder how it'll compare to my original black copy. Anyone know if they were pressed from the same plates? By the way not sure if it was mentioned before but the og debut&post are thin sleeves because they originally came with THICK pvc sleeves included...i think oli "cut alot of corners" with these&didnt bother updating the packaging yet didnt include the sleeve unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aarondltd Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Just listened to Debut but on my iPod, not my turntable or a "jetto blaster". Got Debut and Post used on CD a few weeks ago but this thread keeps making me think. Dang it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mameeshkamowskwoz Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Bought Vespertine on Amazon and it was the white version. Neat! NEEE... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotsalemon Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Well, after the screw-up with my order from OLI and never receiving Post and Debut, I found these at my local Bullmoose today. In the long run it all worked out, I got them for much cheaper this way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-dosia Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Bought Vespertine on Amazon and it was the white version. Neat! If Vespertine is the white hopefully Biophilia is the colored as well. Ordered both. this means Amazon wiil probably get the others soon, still need Volta and Medulla for a reasonable price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aarondltd Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 vespertine came in colored version, Biophilia did not But I've heard that white can sound like crap unless that isn't an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jermainejagger Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 vespertine came in colored version, Biophilia did not Well at least you have an original issue biophilia... which also probably sounds ALOT better than many of the blue discs(including mine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-dosia Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 This has definitely been an interesting chase to say the least. Got Post, Debut, and Homogenic quite easily and for a good price. Although I must say these came directly from OLI records and are all dinged up to some degree. Bought vespertine and Biophilia for Amazon. Vespertine arrived in excellent shape, Biophilia did not, plus as I mentioned earlier it's not the colored variant I was hoping for. Anyways long story short I contacted a non prime seller on amazon and got the Colored Biophilia on the way for half the price ($18.99, not bad) I had previously paid. Now it's down to Volta and Medula, both seem untouchable for under $40. As of yesterday Amazon had a note on the Medula vinyl page saying they would have a new shipment by 6/16, today that message is back to the ambiguous' on backorder' note that we all love so well. The dollar Vs the pound don't help and UK shipping prices are the worst ( as a side note Germany is the only Euro country with decent shipping, but I digress) , but the others started out that way too and eventually came down in price. I guess after all my rambling my question is why are some so easy to find and some are not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess after all my rambling my question is why are some so easy to find and some are not?18.99 is a GREAT price for biophilia! A friend got mine for 25shipped luckily.I have a feeling that oli may be shipping each album to retailers at different periods Especially now that they may have everything together after the initial releasing of orders and moma. Like homogenic was the 1st easiest it seems and now post and debut.. looks like vespertine is just hitting... and maybe the rest will be next:) Im still debating on grabbing volta once its unleashed since its the ONLY bjork album im missing on vinyl, altho i prefer my voltaic over it. If i find it as cheap as i found debut colored then im grabbing it~ B-dosia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multiverse Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Hoping that means Amazon gets their stock of Biophilia and Volta soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewlucas Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I still have an extra Post on pink vinyl still sealed for sale or trade. I'd like to trade for the newer MOV Glassjaw Worship & Tribute pressing if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-dosia Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Finally got Medulla and Volta from non prime sellers on Amazon, $25, and $31 respectively ppd. Not one seller seems to have them all so takes some time to piece the set together, but overall got all but Volta for under $30 shipped. Probably closer to a $25 average.

Delano Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Vulnicura's got a coloured pressing now too. Should be up on OLI https://instagram.com/p/4UPa-dSJm7/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilmuse Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Just posted on instagram: "very limited" color pressings of Vulincura on soft neon (looks) yellow. http://indian.co.uk/shop/vulnicura-coloured-vinyl.html Adding up to close to 50 dollars shipped to me. Kill me now. Anyone in the know think this will be 5000 strictly from OLI or if they'll end up distributing some through the US? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
33one3rd Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Vulnicura's got a coloured pressing now too. Should be up on OLI https://instagram.com/p/4UPa-dSJm7/ My wallet is telling me No!but my body, my body is telling me yes!!. In all seriousness this is an awesome album but don't think I can buy this so soon after I got the black wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeardedSteven Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I caved... Surprise surprise. Haha. I don't want to pay that shipping but I'm not taking chances of this one not making into stores or other places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MahPah Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I held out for so long and of course they finally announce it just a few days after I bought the black pressing. Florescent vinyl never sounds that great anyway. Ill wait and buy it when its at my local shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
