downisthenewup87 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 $80 is absolutely insane. That's 40 dollars short of what the average working man makes in a day.... or slightly more than what somebody makes on an 8 hour minimum wage shift. I understand that it's out of 500 and a good way for the band to make money (presuming the band is actually getting a decent percentage of the sale)... so part me of wants to wait on the price on the black version is before bitching. But I just don't see how $80 is in any way justifiable by anything other than pure corporate greed. Makes me grateful that a high percentage of my favorite modern (past 10 years) bands are on independent labels. patreeeek and Jordanlolss 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathyou99 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Was anybody brave/stupid and chose the cheap $17 untracked shipping like myself? Should I rethink it and pay the extra $8? Ditto….. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spoon Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Free shipping within Aus (to my parents' house) + a stronger U.S. Dollar is how I'm justifying this purchase. I didn't check what I was buying until after I'd checked out, looks cool though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For an Aussie this is equivalent to buying about a 35$ record which for "color" deluxe isn't too shabby at all. Have you seen their minimum wage? Think of this all as revenge for when international peeps have to order from ALL THE GODDAMN LABELS FROM USA haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsgoodtobefree Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 The black vinyl should be in US stores for around $25 if their past albums are anything to go by, so I'll just wait until then. Hopefully they will be selling the Tame Impala EP at the upcoming US shows since I don't have that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpazzyMcGee Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Crazy to me the $40 (plus shipping) deal sold out so fast. Maybe I'm underestimating the popularity of the album. Hope they do some colors state side but it never looks good for us US folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
