scottheisel Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 First off, this album is fucking amazing and you should check it out if you've never heard it before: Second off: EIGHTY FUCKING DOLLARS?!? From http://autolux.net: FUTURE PERFECT LIMITED COLLECTORS-EDITION DOUBLE VINYLEach double LP comes with one black and white OR color photograph, taken during the making of the new Autolux album. The photos were shot with a Mamiya RZ67 medium format camera, using a Polaroid back with Fuji (peel-apart) instant film. All of the photos were taken by Carla, with the exception of the photos taken of her. They were each hand-picked by Autolux from over 800 photos, so that only the best photos make up the 500 that are now available in this limited-edition packaging. This means that the photo that you receive is the exact photo taken and it was not reproduced. The back of every photo is stamped, numbered and signed by Autolux. The complete special edition comes packaged within a printed anti-static metallic sleeve, wrapped in silver thermal protective bubble wrap.

jrodan Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 shouldn't the topic be "re-releasing" since this already has a vinyl press? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negavinyl Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Yeah I have this, thankfully didn't pay $80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faithnolife Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Yeah this had at least 2 releases. They re-issued it themselves as a single LP in addition to the original 2xLP. Sounds cool and all, but not for $80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidamnesiac Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Ugh. I was getting so excited for this announcement, only for this? No way. $30 tops for that package. Ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrodan Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 woah, my last name is Peterman. hey, Peterman! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidamnesiac Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 It would be cool if they released another 1000 copies without the polaroid and metallic sleeve that wasn't priced absurdly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyFrosted Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 This is supremely disappointing. This should cost 30 bucks tops. Why only 500, why all the useless special stuff, why 80 bucks. Why why why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heypeterman Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 woah, my last name is Peterman. hey, Peterman! Haha! My name is Peter. My username is a reference to the way Lawrence addresses his neighbour, Peter, from Office Space. My wife's name is Anne, same as Peter's cheating ex-girlfriend. So far, my wife has not cheated on and left me. jrodan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 shouldn't the topic be "re-releasing" since this already has a vinyl press? You are correct! Forgot a few letters in the subject line, my bad. Showing out of stock for me. Yes, I am considering it even at that price... I think it is artificially out of stock—they just put this up late last night and if you look at their Facebook page, it's nothing but people complaining about the price. I'm hoping they decided to halt sales and revise their pricing scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping they decided to halt sales and revise their pricing scheme. It shows in stock now. I think I'll hold off for now though. Hopefully they do lower it.

just a normal guy kevin Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 But its VINYL, guys. Like grandpa had. And it'd be so cool to have the large artwork. Plus those must-have bundle pieces. I'm surprised this isn't $500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised this isn't $500. what is it like to post sarcasm and only sarcasm all day every day? does it still make you snicker after all these posts? I find them funny probably 50% of the time, but I wonder what its like to be so consistent. toomanyrecords 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just a normal guy kevin Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I'm sorry, Kyle. Once my art is released into the world, it no longer belongs to me. The meaning is decided by the fans and sharing my own personal feelings or backstory would betray that relationship. scottheisel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hxcoliver Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Thanks for reminding me to listen to this again. Been so damn long. It's cool that they're legit polaroids though. I'm an avid Polaroid shooter so I dig this. It is a bi pricey though, but buying original polaroids isn't cheap from musicians and stuff. Maybe $60 would be better though.
