AdamBGraham Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Please 4AD, just don't do a jerk move and make the individual releases somehow different than the items in the box. Like the LAD Ryan Adams box set containing downloadable items not available otherwise. I don't think I've heard of or have seen any special inclusions for the box like live versions or import tracks so that will hopefully limit the chances of this happening. Completing a fulfilling collector's set hurts, you know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I hear the pre order version comes with manic depressive rainbows. Seriously, what a shit show but everyone is talking about it and knows what's coming now. Hell of a marketing job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eliminator Jr. Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 what the fuck why cause of Mark Kozeleks fuckin with people and general overdose of douchiness and suckage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellnow Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I don't think Mark and his douchiness had anything to do with this. This was all 4AD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliminator Jr. Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I don't think Mark and his douchiness had anything to do with this. This was all 4AD. That is a good theory also. I just couldn't resist stating once more how much of a douche Mark Kozelek is wellnow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whip Wilson Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 That is a good theory also. I just couldn't resist stating once more how much of a douche Mark Kozelek is Is he big DB? Aside from listing to his music for nearly fifteen years, I know very little about him. niblips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothingnatural Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 When I would mention RHP years ago, pretty much no one gave a shit. Times sure change. Anyways, I'm not worried about getting these. They will be available again on black so let's all just be patient. eight1echo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eight1echo Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 It's my opinion Mark was mostly making a comment on how ridiculous music press can be, jumping on any little stupid thing and making it a big deal. That whole War on Drugs thing started from a comment he made at a show as a joke and the press blew it was out of proportion. But yeah he's a bit of a douche regardless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Douche or not, dude makes great tunes Since I find War on Drugs insufferably boring, I find him picking on them extra amusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
213041284s Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 so a local place got back to me and reserved a copy for me. Originally they were just gonna let me know when they were expecting it but then the lady just randomly offered to hold it for me. I also called two other places and they promised they'd do their best to track one down. Haven't heard anything back nor can I make promises just yet, but I'd be down to help anyone if I get an extra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mesi Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 4AD facebook: Following Tuesday's news of the upcoming limited-edition Red House Painters boxset (in stores 18th April Worldwide ex. USA and 21st April in the US) and the overwhelming demand, we're pleased to confirm that we will now also be making all four records available individually on standard black vinyl. Full details, including release date and pre-order links, will be announced in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domiendr Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Like they didn't know this would sell like hot cakes. Edit: still happy though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Reading their Facebook was fun. I had no idea Adult Contemporary fans could be as vicious as slighted emo kids when it comes to vinyl pre-orders. nothingnatural 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museummouth Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Lol so there was a point where they had no plans other than the box. Wtf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseydave77 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 The plan was to blow up the interwebs by only offering 100 for preorder then channel that outrage into increased sales a couple days later. I said it before: it was a well done marketing gimmick that will have legs well past RSD. bobfrombob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
