drds89 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Singles? Haven't you guys already seen/heard the new songs in recent shows? I'm purposefully abstaining ... It does all make sense now seeing that "Afrika" is a song title, why when their Memorial tour show was over, they piped in Toto's song by the same name. PO or bust!

I have not but I feel it's unnecessary for a PO, considering we're talking about Russian Circles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrewest Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I want a single simply because I want to hear one of those live songs recorded. Plus that teaser sounds RIDIC. And I'm ready to destroy my earholes in my car. I want to go hog wild with multiple copies but in light of the ITTCT repress news, I'll probably just be sticking with whatever tickles my fancy the most. pemulis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you only have 2 colorways to choose from. I know what I went with. https://www.hellomerch.com/collections/russian-circles/products/guidance-12-vinyl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Translucent Brown / Burgundy Splatter Vinyl ?? Poo Splatter?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 That was fast! Somebody's prayers were heard re: the PO haha. But somebody forgot to ask why Station is $19.99 and Guidance is $22.99 for a single LP? They got us/ bend over. On a positive note, that trailer is ringing YONL in my head, so if they're headed down that heavy doomish road, well count me stoked!

What new news do we have on ITTCT? grabbed the brown with splatter. Second guessed $30 for a single lp for a second but...Russian Circles. 74R 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, grabbed me a clear splatter. May add a brown later but I'm good for now. Unless the UK gets some crazy variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just south of $30 for me, but I'm right there with you. The base price is not attractive in itself, but that $6.00+ Media Mail is what really stumps me. If someone from a record label is reading this point and doesn't mind clarifying – why is it that it costs me $3.22 to ship an LP or a double LP here in the U.S., with cardboard inserts, and (recently-included) tracking... but many web outlets are charging me $5-7 for the same exact service? It's lost on me. I'm very quick to bitch about the average price of records and what they should cost in 2016, but they're getting harder and harder to keep reasonable. At the end of the day you either pay to own it or you shut up and move on. And unless I plan on picking this up secondhand somewhere down the road, it's probably not going to be sold for much cheaper elsewhere. I know that any resemblance to a brown variant instantly gets pegged with fecal comparisons here at VC, but I still think the translucency and that burgundy splatter will match the cover way better than the clear-splatter. Which won't look bad, I'm sure – I just personally have an abundance of that variant, and I'm a huge sucker for colorways that match the album's cover or packaging. Either way, I'm stoked. zerohacker and mrewest 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallowken78 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 $28.66 for me to grab the brown w/ burg. And it will provide me a lot more entertainment before I die than the $48 bottle of JD I bought tonight........just trying to justify here.... mrewest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pemulis Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Grabbed one of each and I'm not even a variant enthusiast. I also grabbed the new edition of station while I was at it. Lots of Aussie dollars for this purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's lost on me. I'm no pro, but my guess is that it has to do with using a third party shipping service like Hello Merch. They probably charge the label a certain dollar amount per package as a "handling fee" or something. Then you have two options: You can either add that charge directly to your shipping costs or into the price of the product. Now, it's kind of savvy to put it in your shipping costs because it remains unseen until almost the very end of the checkout process. Most people, once you've gone so far as to triple check your mailing address, likely don't back down at that point. However, they might if the initial cost of the item is $2-$3 higher.

That's part of the reason why I'm not found of those shipping services. I get why the labels use them intead of having their infrastructure and not really having to deal with that end of things. From my end, it always seems to be more expensive and the customer service never seems to be the same quality that I get from most labels. Paying more for a worse service is lame.

mrewest Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Well, it took me all of 12 hours to decide I wanted both splatters. So I added the brown. Good news is it doesn't add to the shipping cost to order both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell Merch can be great or awful; much better about the time they switched to the corner sparing mailers, but they still can get bent as heck. When it's clearly a QC issue, not mail damage, they have been responsive for me. But who wants to deal with problems on 50% of the orders, even if they make it right? headaches....
