Plarocks 165 Report post Posted July 17 Just now, Pupples said: It never worked Yeah, I called MusicToday, and they refused to apply the coupon to my order. While the e-mail does have the “some exclusions may apply” asterisk, it does not list the exclusions. What does that mean? Everything? I did not cancel because I have wanted “Dulcinea” for a long time, and also wanted a copy of the new LP, but really shady business practices if you ask me. I have had my issues with MusicToday in the past, like selling “premium” concert tickets in the back row...etc. I wish this band was not working with them.

Plarocks 165 Report post Posted July 17 (edited) Out of curiosity, does the “Fear” remaster contain the longer 3:35 version of “Walk On The Ocean,” or is it still the shorter 2:59 version. Would be cool if they at least changed that, as I always prefered the longer “single” mix. Edited July 17 by Plarocks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hookedonsonics 47 Report post Posted July 17 Man i've had the page open all day debating whether to hit purchase or not.... $50 is SO steep for a single lp with no liner notes or anything else sweetening the deal, but damn I love these records.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmarcucci 12 Report post Posted July 17 I wonder how many were pressed of each? 1000? 5000? 10,000? And how does it sell out last week just to have more pop up? Hmmm. Did they see the demand and order another 1000 or 2 pressed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plarocks 165 Report post Posted July 17 As a rule of thumb, if I am looking for a particular album for over ten years, and I finally find it for around $50, I usually pick it up. Even from scummy Music Today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bladewillisisdead 4,193 Report post Posted July 17 My problem is I want this in a $10-15 impulse buy from the Amazon deals thread kinda way. I like a lot of the songs and I'd love to have it on vinyl, but it's just not something I need for fifty fucking bucks. I just grabbed Sunn 0))) White 1&2 for $50 combined...and I'm pretty sure those are both 2xLPs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jrodan 539 Report post Posted July 17 wonder how many they pressed for this and whether it will be available via other retailers since it doesn't seem as limited as it initially did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Plarocks 165 Report post Posted July 17 Some of the MusicToday stuff does NOT show up at other retailers. John Butler Trio “Heritage,” and The Killers Christmas album....BOTH times. However, if I see this now on Bull Moose for $23.98, I am going to smack myself on the forehead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will be pissed if this hits the retailers. I have a feeling that it won’t based on what the band had to put into this quality pressing ($$) but you never know.

I was in the first batch of orders (before they sold out and went back up), which might have something to do with it. Pretty sure they were just sent USPS.

Jimmarcucci 12 Report post Posted July 27 What is bothering me is the fact that they keep ordering more from the pressing plant. It’s gone off sale 2x now only to pop back up again today with a new ship date for the pre-order. No question that this is getting pressed in large quantities for a premium retail price.

Bladewillisisdead 4,193 Report post Posted July 27 (edited) Maybe they'll greatly overestimate how many they order and in a few months or so they'll knock the price down to something reasonable.

Phillips mentioned that the cost for both was like $30 each to repress due to many different factors including the label. He complained that he couldn’t make any money off of them and was risky to repress them in the first place. If it does ever dip in price the band may take some losses on the remaining lps.
