Tripping Daisy- I Am An Elastic Firecracker LP ORDER NOW


Recommended Posts

Was checking out Tripping Daisy merch and saw that their site is selling original copies of 'I Am An Elastic Firecracker' for $50.

Not sure if they are sealed or what the deal is, but it says it is the 'Original Pressing on Island Records'.

Here’s a review of the NOS LPs on Discogs:

 

The brand new sealed copy of this I bought at the last reunion show in 2017 is not good. Lots of pops, surface noise, and low volume. Stamps were stuck to the what looked like an inner sleeves that had been in contact with moisture.

 

I’d say buyer beware.

I bought this last month. Can confirm that the pressing is so-so, but not awful. Stamps were also stuck to the inner sleeve but relatively easy to peel back off. Should be noted that there were no "new versions" of this sold at shows, they were always original leftover stock that the band had leftover. Also, shipping took like 3 weeks. Had to email their merch guy and ask if it even shipped.

I think $24.99 would be good a price

I do agree with this. 

 

I'd pay $30 for this record, even if it was kind of fucked up. $55 isn't quite hittin me. 

 

I've bought deadstock LPs off plenty of bands, and it's normally pretty reasonable. 

 

Though a lot of bands do take into consideration secondary markets(ie. Tripping Daisy) and I can't fault them.

Hmmm if selling off  deadstock was a means to underfund a reissue campaign I'd have hoped they'd be upfront about it like some labels like Important do via their mailorder. I wonder what Benjamin Curtis would think of this kind of thing. Between this and Secret Machines a lot of his stuff's being reissued these days.

Man I wish I would have seen this post last week.  I’ve been struggling to find this vinyl at a price less than $300.  Saw one go on sale for $100 & bought it immediately.  However - mine is a “promotional, not for sale” edition and I’m not seeing the issues that you guys are reporting with the ones sold at the concerts?

 

im still over the moon happy
