Oh yeah I forgot about that! I was pretty satisfied with my green variant. Didn't feel bad for missing out on that one! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess moreso for the record stores that have to purchase 10 copies first. I mean what other label does that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's 1,000 of the "aquamarine" variant, so let's say there's a similar "first press" quantity of the balck. That would fit the 10:1 ratio that they're requiring for the colored variant. I dislike a lot about Jack White/TMR and this isn't the coolest of things to do, but it doesn't seem as insane and insulting as some people are making it out to be. clerk3745 and stl_ben 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told my local record store that I would buy 10 black vinyl copies of the album if they’d let me buy a variant. It was a fuss free process to get what I really wanted.

Just a bunch of VHS black that I can’t flip, frame, or listen to. Fuck vinyl. You lucky son. Speaking of flipping, if anybody is able to get me a variant at cost I’d really appreciate it.

Found that out the hard way when i got there 5 minutes too late due to traffic coming from a2. They could have done better than 50 for one of the only 2 storefronts.

Ghengiscahn Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 https://shopusa.season-of-mist.com/sleep-leagues-beneath-mini-lp-colored I preordered this version. Says it’s transparent green but it’s at the price point of the aquamarine variant but the release date is the 7th. Don’t know if this is different or not. I guess I’ll find out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
