That and the majority of the people have not even received it yet.. Mine is not supposed to be here until Friday. By the time I re-sleeve and clean it to put mine on discogs it will probably be 2-3 weeks from now. That number is going to grow rapidly by the end of April.

I have considered that obviously but to say 24.5k out of 25k owners don't use discogs is laughable. especially gorillaz fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinyl addict Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 My point is, I don't think 25,000 were sold yet. That is a HUGE number as far as vinyl sales goes, in that short of a time period. I'm surprised to see 450+ people already with it in their lists on Discogs. It usually takes a good month or so before you really see those numbers rise.

As far as pressing numbers I doubt we'll get a firm number ever but didn't they go and say they had 20k+ subs awhile ago in some interview?

YouTwo Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Only 2700 people say they own the VMP version of Odelay on Discogs and there were probably around 20,000 subscribers then to so you can't really go by Discogs. vinyl addict 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl_ben Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 They made 60 copies of this MO record I have , and only 8 people have it in their discogs collection? Does that mean there is only 8 of them? https://www.discogs.com/MØ-Pilgrim-bw-Maiden/release/4189868 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think it's unreasonable to think only 5-10% of vinyl buyers track their collections using discogs. 24,000 people not using discogs to track their collections is a pretty reasonable estimate.

Number11 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) Just got an email saying my monthly membership is coming to an end. Should I just ignore this since im guessing it's gonna automatically renew? Or am I gonna have to subscribe to the 3 month plan?

ethereal Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) apparently my statement was blown way out of proportion... OBVIOUSLY there is a huge chunk of people who don't use discogs but to say 90% of the total amount of what you guys are claiming is the pressing amount (25-40k) "don't use it" then that number is extremely disproportionate with either extremes of the spectrum. discogs is not a completely accurate resource as far as accountability but it definitely gives you a solid idea of how many are actually out there.

I think they are trying to dupe us into committing to a 3 month plan since ours says it is going to renew automatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe don't judge the ownership number by the people who list as owning it in discogs before they even ship out! It would be a tad different if this was 6 months down the line and only a few hundred still said they had it. But why doubt the label when they say that many were pressed?

But more importantly, will they still honor my order of The National LP that's not shipping out till May if i cancel the auto renewal before then? I assume they'll have to...

DecayToDeath Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Got Demon Days today, cleaned, and am currently on side B. It sounds excellent, my only complaint isn't really about the record itself, it's just that the innersleeves don't fit all the way in the jacket pockets. It's a pet peeve of mine, but I'll live.

The past few are like that for me too but for them I can manage to make them fit if I try hard enough. With Demon Days, they're sticking right out.

Charles Barkley Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Looks like we can buy Halo.2's personal copy off discogs for 555.00 plus shipping! B-dosia and Dominic_ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Not to take a jab at everyone hyped on this release, but when I think of the poster child for a Gorillaz fan, Halo 2 is exactly who I picture. It's kind of perfect. DecayToDeath, dantheriver, TheGhostOfRandySavage and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneThreeOneTwo Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I'm older than the average fanbase and really only came around to this particular album recently, having known VMP was releasing it (I was the right age for the first album, though). This is a much better album, no question, and might be their best (even considering all those good new singles). At the time I probably 1. Found it too glum, as living through the Bush Iraq years was bad enough; didn't need a soundtrack for it... and 2. It was holding up the sequel to Think Tank in my mind, which had by then grown on me (it's got some of the best Blur songs even though it really doesn't work as an album). I was also waaaaay into experimental, free-folk psych-game stuff like Charalambides and Sunburned Hand of Man so I wasn't really feeling pop sounds either.

You should buy his copy of Demon Dayz and get to the bottom of this. I bet his PayPal email and physical address could crack the case.
