coreystevens88 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Since it seems like this release is going to be a crapshoot, who has the pre-sale codes for early access to the December tour date tickets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once non-music websites started calling it VHS black, we saw a lot of confused people. We didn't want to cause people to buy two black copies. It was too bad. We really wanted to start labeling records "black as your soul," black panther at midnight, pothole patch, etc. Just stupid stuff really. Merge took care of it by calling all their variants "Peak Vinyl" natenomm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneThreeOneTwo Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 My local store said it was going to retail for 29.99 CDN. He didn't say how many he was getting but he seemed to refer to plural copies. I passed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a few people now tell me that they had to order a $145 box of 10 of the black ones in order to get 1 aquamarine. Electric Fetus's online shop actually showed it in their system as a preorder the other day which really confused me but they quickly removed it. Anyone heard of any other label pulling shit like this with stores? I can't imagine that indie stores appreciate it much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an incentive program to reward shops that stock their products. I mean the alternative would be to have them only at the two TMR store fronts and the rest of the country not have a chance at them...

I almost wish they did this as opposed to sending 2-3 copies to each store and/or making stores buy the 10 black for 1 colored gimmick route.

Isn’t this kind of how record store day works? honestly I don’t think it matters what third man would do, people are going to shit on them, of course only if they don’t get one. I’d assume most labels have some sort of system based on sales or a relationship when it comes to getting limited edition items into stores. Only one store here gets loser editions from sub pop and I am going to guess it is because they buy more sub pop releases then the others, business wise it makes sense stl_ben 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have shit on them even more if I got the limited split color of The Sciences because the sleeve was complete garbage for $20 more than the better quality tip-on. clerk3745 and SeanPuffy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coreystevens88 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Releases like these by TMR just beg clueless flippers to snatch them up to flip, like the first copy for sale on Discogs for 100 GBP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I just think if entire metro areas like Chicago are getting a literal handful of these then something is just wrong with their system. Maybe a lot of labels do things this way where you have to buy a certain # to get limited stuff. It was just surprising to me. Just blows for anyone who wants this that doesn't live near a store that can sell dozens of the regular version. Thankfully I live close enough to a TMR store so I can go get one.

faaip de oiad Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I really don't mind the scarcity of them. It makes them kinda cool. My beef is that flippers buy up half of these and they sell them at God awful prices and make us suffer. They ruin the fun out of collecting...

Honestly surprised some of the group-buy obsessives here haven't posted a group-buy proposalfor this, with a raffle for whoever get the variant (or highest bidder).
