NotACop Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Anyone write in to them and still waiting on a response? Wrote in on Tuesday. Also still haven't received an order confirmation - not sure if that's a problem or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Order does appear in the order page though. Been listening to the mp3s this morning. I'll echo what others have said, sounds great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REALLY hoping for them to do Zen Arcade and New Day Rising now. Fucking Greg Ginn... Are you saying that Numero will not do other Huskers box sets after this one because ther don't have the rights?

There's a quote on the Rolling Stone article about how the SST stuff is still up in the air, probably in some legal limbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyfranciosa Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Someone on another forum said that it's possible a Zen Arcade-centric set could be released by Numero late this year/early next. Would make sense if Ginn's being a dick to just skip that stuff for now. Dealing with Warner's probably way easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will probably be available on Bull Moose as well later. https://www.amoeba.com/savage-young-d-white-vinyl-lp-h-sker-d/albums/3980545/ You can use a 15% off code on this. SEP15.

glass realms Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Looks like Amoeba sold out of their allocation of the white vinyl. But even with the 15% coupon, the black vinyl comes out to $62ppd. If you don't care about the bonus 7" single, that's a pretty damn good price for the box set.

DASiano Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Patience has been my friend with this process. Numero has been awesome about updating things to where they are supposed to be. It's a little slow, obviously because of the inundation of emails and whatnot for a small organization. BUT, it looks like I am and will be ending up with everything I originally intended to end up with. I originally put an order in for the silver box +7". At first my order was displayed as simply "-" in my account history. Then, was updated to just the silver box. While I was fairly certain I ordered the box+7", I was like "fine, fuck it, I probably mistakenly only ordered the box in the rush to ensure I got color vinyl"-I looked at it as a mistake I made. Then today, totally unprompted, My order was updated to include the 7"-so needless to say, I'm very happy about that. I still have not received a confirmation email (which I don't care one iota about, as my order info is all there on my account history page) or my download (I do want this, but I'm less concerned about it because with items like this, I habitually/ritualistically never listen to the digital version before the vinyl). I figure I'll give them a week or so to wade through more pressing customer service concerns before inquiring about the DL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxmartinxx Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 This release is a clusterfuck. Why so many colors? Why a separate version with the 7"? Dumb. Regarding SST; Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr were able to get their catalog away from Greg Ginn's greedy hands, so I assume Husker Du would be able to do the same thing.

There are three color variants - silver, white and black. Not sure that would count as "so many". The extra 7" seems like an incentive to order straight from the label which makes sense since the price at retail is about ~$10 cheaper.

Multiple colour variants are barely a decade old tbh. I can see how someone would be surprised that it's so prevalent all of a sudden.

As were the Meat Puppets, but those bands all got along with each other, or at least got their shit together long enough to lawyer up. My understanding is that at least in the past, the Hüskers preferred losing out on all SST royalties to talking to each other, so it's a pretty big deal if that has changed.

Since they've gotten together enough to sell merchandise outside of SST a few years ago, I wouldn't think getting Greg to give them back their records would be out of the question. I mean, J and Lou from Dinosaur disliked each other as much as Bob and Grant (if not more so) and look at them now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
