TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 No not at all defensive! I find the conversation intriguing. And I'm still holding out hope that SOME ONE will come through for me with this. Good. Didn't want you to think anyone was directing bad vibes at you.

SunsetDramaKing17 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Good. Didn't want you to think anyone was directing bad vibes at you. I've gotten enough bad vibes in PMs, but thanks for looking out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endserenading Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 I thought my trade request was good because of how many people seem to be in need, or in want, of Among the Leaves. As a huge RHP and SKM fan I think it his less cohesive work of all, which is why I am willing to part with it more easily. Having two of each record I'm trying to trade def makes it easier for me, of course. But I would rather have Ocean Beach or Rollercoaster over ATL or Perils any Day of the week. Even if I'm NOT able to snag the box, I'd still be willing to trade ATL or Perils for something good. Because I know there's fans out there who want it. Damn we've all got opinions but ATL is one of my favorite albums he's ever done! Adam had it right though, I'm the type who has to have all the Koz records!

Just Us Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Where? I can't find any link on their website.... They weren't on their website. I spend about 2000€ per year on their mailorder, so as a regular costumer I asked if they could reserve me one and one whatever nevermind compilation and they did. Received both yesterday.

fish Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Sometimes my local Ann Arbor stores really disappoint me. So 1 store I hit on RSD got 1 copy of this and chose to sell it for $120. They went out of their way to let me know that they'd have just the 1. I had planned on going to get it early but got Bullmoose notification the night before so I slept in a bit. That store rocks. But now I see another more popular store in town has put this box up on discogs for $400. That's not even sane considering there are a bunch for under $300 now. This store did the same thing for the Seneca 10's as well as a bunch of other items. I really cannot stand places that do that shit. If you are a store and get it from a distributor sell that shit in your store for retail prices. Don't TRIPLE the price! The saddest part is the cool store had basically no line at all that morning. While the other store had a line outside constantly until past 6PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsgoodtobefree Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 That's really disappointing to see UG Sounds charging insane prices for this. I went there a couple times and I really liked the store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no reason for it when, as you said, they paid distributor price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverburst Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 As the world's unluckiest person in regards to this f**&*% box, in the unlikely event anyone in the UK has a extra, spare or knows where I can get one without paying silly flipper money then please do give me a shout... OK, ok you can all stop laughing now Seriously they should just move RSD to april 1st... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladew1ll1s1sdead Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Agreed. It's all just between the two people trading. Also no one involved bought any of these with the intention of flipping or "accidentally" listed them on discogs.I traded a $75 record for a $30 record. No regrets.

captainaldous Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Hey all, just a general message to the 7684543 people that messaged me. I was surprised to hear the stores that I knew had gotten these sold out of the numerous copies they had received within a day. Maybe I should have expected it, but I didn't. So sorry to all you guys. I hope you find what you're looking for somewhere out in the universe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I know it probably sounds cheesy, but it's instances like that where the thought is what counts. Success or not, it was awesome of you to consider helping the boards instead of making a quick $100-200. niblips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidney Crosley Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Seems like Vinyl-Digital has a couple of copies in? Price is a bit high, but without VAT for non EU, and under $18 shipping, it's about $240 US. Still a lot, but not as much as it's been going for: http://www.vinyl-digital.com/en/Rock-Indie/Red-House-Painters-RSD-2015-Release.html?listtype=search&searchparam=red%20house%20painters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainaldous Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Has anyone else had this god awful crack on the first track of Down Colorful Hill? It's happening for about the first 2 minutes and I can't get rid of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad to hear that there are some issues with this. I hope it's remedied with the standard variant and that 4AD takes care of you guys.

I wonder if that's affecting the sound quality in any way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that's affecting the sound quality in any way Actually took a closer look and realized that there is a series of very tiny blemishes on the record. They didn't come off when I cleaned them, but they don't exactly look like scratches. Gonna have a friend deep clean it and see if they come off. If they don't, I guess I'll have to take it up with 4AD. Pray for me haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll never get them out. Don't try. It won't effect play. A couple of mine in the set have them too. No biggie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgdesign Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 So, did anyone notice that the box says "RHP Box 1". I'm assuming they are putting out a second box. It'd make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
