SaulManella Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 What blows my mind is the single LP is the same price as the double. How the fuck is that justifiable? I ordered FHTI because it's one of my all time favorites and my ex grabbed mine. Aren't these suppose to be shipping now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a double album... just because an album happens to be 2xLP doesn't mean it constitutes a significant price break from being fit onto one disc....

You should actually look into the manufacturing costs...pressing 2 discs versus 1 disc definitely costs more regardless of the amount of songs pressed into each disc. For example: Tony Molina could put out a "double album" and it might fit on a 10" double sided record because his songs are like 30 seconds long...I can't imagine he nor his label would be comfortable charging $30 for a 10" record because it's a "double album". Inversely you could have some Abstract/Ambient/Avant-Garde artist that has a single "song" that takes up 3 12" discs....neither they nor their label can afford to charge $5 or less because "it's only one song" Edited January 9, 2017 by birdwell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lloydrx Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 i'm just glad these are finally repressed. I'd take em' even if they were 7" sets. I don't have to pay $100 or more kjkenney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand but I can't imagine it being 50% more than the cost of a 1LP of the same album (in terms of manufacturing, not actual retail sale) because i'm sure the label/company that sells the final product capitalizes more on the 2xLP than during the manufacturing process (i.e. gouging more than it actually cost) Edited January 9, 2017 by ethereal Satan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are more confused as to why a single disc costs $25 plus shipping in the first place I imagine. ChasHawk and ethereal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattisr1984 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 got my copies of GM and crimson yesterday. havent listened yet but can confirm GM is a 2xlp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjkenney Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Got my black copies of GM and Crimson from BM. Sounds excellent, and the packaging looks the same as the previous presses. Vagrant has been crushing it. Noticed the spot gloss on the figures on the front of GM are unaligned, don't remember if earlier presses are like that?

And this is why I stuck with BM for a little bit extra... too many horror stories from PM as of late. Although I did pick up a ~$9 3LP from them recently, it surprisingly shipped rather quickly. Good luck to anyone who snagged these from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emailed Popmarket this morning and they still don't know when they'll get the LPs in stock. Somehow every other online retailer was able to get them in stock on release day, but not Popmarket. Canceled the order there and will order through Bullmoose or Amazon now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't paid attention to Popmarket threads on here. Cool condescending post though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
