Can't imagine 13 tracks from alk3 is going to be a double LP to somewhat justify it either. Actually, that was with shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneThreeOneTwo Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 It's honesty revolting for me personally when people go out of their way to advocate being screwed over and cop that defeatist crap. It's like "Keep your spineless, sycophantic, give-up-always, cowardly attitude the fuck away from me". 5-10 dollar markups since 2016 cannot be minimized as "inflation" just like record labels saying it's a measure to fight Discogs-enabled speculation is a total fucking fabrication too. And yet people are gullible enough to buy it. For example, really glad I bought those Blank Banshee albums. Does the packaging justify them being $30 CAD each? Never in a million years. And the Discogs prices are hovering near 100 bucks. So anyone who thinks we should forego our freedom of speech rights because "that's just the way it is" is welcome to take their own advice and move to Russia while they're at it. You'd be the type of model citizen Putin wants. ratbrain and Derek™ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be the type of model citizen Putin wants. To be fair, $30 CAD is only $23ish USD which isn't crazy. But I agree with what you're saying in principle. There is no way (what I'm assuming is) a single LP should cost over $30 even with shipping included. I felt like a dummy paying $32 shipped for a colored, double LP, import just yesterday.

meatrocket8 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I passed on the red/black swirl in hopes of getting the bone variant from Interpunk. Hopefully it gets put back up on Interpunk soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice score though. Yeah. Only 2 copies of any vinyl in the whole store. I kinda miss digging through the clearance records there. But it was an easy NM/ VG+ sleeve.

I'm sure there were several other fans who bought 1 and the other variants too. I just need the one copy. I'm currently only lacking remains and TA if anyone wants to help a brother round out his ALK3 studio recording collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
