niblips Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 That's not the point I was making. He said we "seem to be under the assumption" as if it's something that was never concrete fact when it definitely came off as fact from all the pre-release information.ah. got you now.

kidamnesiac Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 This is an "RSD first" release. Meaning that it was first made available on Record Store Day, but is not a limited release and will be available in large quantities for some time to come. I would assume, however, that all 500 blue copies went out in RSD shipments. So, technically speaking, only copies purchased on Record Store Day should have a chance of being blue. Or at least they have the highest chance of being blue, considering there may have been a lot of these left on shelves after the event since it wasn't limited that I know of. Most of that is just based on assumption, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 What I'm saying is that it was pretty clear that the initial run would contain 500 randomly-inserted blue copies. It was also clear that the vinyl version of the LP was being released early on RSD. But nowhere was it ever said that the 500 blue copies were RSD exclusives. I'm only stating that some folks selling on Discogs and eBay have probably made the assumption that because they purchased it on RSD, it's limited (and maybe blue). The band said: "Untethered Moon will be available on Vinyl this Saturday, April 18th in honor of Record Store Day. To find your local independent record store visit http://bit.ly/1cpfkkj. Get there early, we’ve hidden 500 transperent blue versions in with the first run of vinyl pressing." If taking that and coming to the conclusion that blue copies would be available on record store day is an assumption than I guess we all made assumptions. Not annoyed at you btw, I know I can come off that way. throwgncpr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeromium Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 No sweat - the band's wording wasn't as clear as it should have been and when it was first announced, I searched for the announcement in many different places hoping for some clarity. The chances of finding a blue one on RSD are probably higher than a few weeks later, yes, but of course some stock didn't sell right away, and the "initial run" may not have been shipped all at once for RSD either. But still, the chance of finding a blue one new in store likely does decrease with time. semantics assumptions wishful thinking disappointment Pleasure in knowing the music is great regardless of color.

Shelby Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I'd honestly like it to just not exist so I don't have to care since I shouldn't care in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eight1echo Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 I opened and resealed like 10 copies today, no blue, sorry dudes. niblips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youinreverse Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Man, I'm starting to doubt that there are any blue copies at all. Almost everyone that has the blue listing on Discogs has less than 100 records, which makes me assume they're new collectors that just added the blue variant to their collection without fully reading the listing. I haven't even seen a photo of one either. niblips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouTwo Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 It also looks like the person who submitted the Blue to Discogs admitted not having it. niblips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niblips Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Everytime this post gets bumped i am hoping for a picture..... alas, nothing. Nice of you to try opening them all to check. I'm about ready to give up on it. Can't find a pic anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I'm glad I can give up on it. I don't feel like paying a ton for it because I have terrible luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolio Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I think Doug was supposed to personally drive around to stores and sneak blue copies onto store shelves. But then he overslept and forgot, and now all the blue copies are just piled in a corner of his basement. Shelby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eight1echo Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 At this point it's almost better if it doesn't exist because if one gets found it'll go for hundreds of dollars probably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throughbeingcruel Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I've got a copy I'm mailing to a friend as a gift. I may check the color, cuz if it's blue I'll have tell him he owes me one haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fitterhappier Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 And we thought Brand New was going to be the hardest RSD release to find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeromium Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 And we thought Brand New was going to be the hardest RSD release to find But...this isn't an actual RSD release. It just happened to come out that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisapple Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 But...this isn't an actual RSD release. It just happened to come out that day.I'd argue that a RSD first release still qualifies as a "RSD release" he didn't say "RSD Exclusive".There is certainly no denying that it is near impossible to find a copy of this.

Shelby Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I saw them tonight and my standout was definitely So. That song was already good but they killed it live. They had some pretty cool posters. First one is only for this date and the second one is for the tour. My camera is terrible there's all sorts of metallic ink that doesn't show.
