CeCeCe Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) Due to the demand for the Pink Dinked edition the pressing number has been re-negotiated with the label and increased up to 550 instead of 350. So all the stores should have it back up for sale. (It won't increase again). Edited May 16, 2019 by craigeduk holyvacantsholyhell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It opens the door for more exploitation of the consumer by businesses who are willing to falsely advertise rather than those that won't. This rewards dishonest businesses and therefore punishes honest ones. If the only response continues to be: "You grump - more people will be able to get tha vinylz doe! :)) YAS YAS MOOR PRESSING" Then I will continue to react negatively to the practice of upping a stated pressing limit after it has sold out.

It's not like they upped it from 350 to 5000, geez. It's a pretty small increase. IIRC the other variant with a known pressing limit is /10000 so this is still an extremely limited variant. It's also not like there's been additional variants or a "second pressing" announced in the meantime either, which I believe happened with another release earlier this year/late last year (I can't remember the release off the top of my head right now). This has still a preorder that was only announced two days ago. I understand the general premise of why you don't like it, but on a 0-10 badness scale of pressing practices I feel like this is maybe a 0.1 at worst. Personally I'd save my anger for stuff like the example I mentioned. 35 minutes ago, OldKentuckyShark said: It really doesn’t bother me at all but I’ve found the best solution is to press more in a different color so that everybody wins.

Chrundle The Great Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Pressing a different color/variant (which I support) is completely unrelated to changing a product's features after selling it to people, which is what this practice amounts to. Also irrelevant is the extent of the false advertising - whether they upped the pressing by 10 or 10,000 after advertising and selling it as fewer: V3XED and holyvacantsholyhell 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DecayToDeath Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 This really upsets me as a collector of variants whose quantities begin with "35". Why couldn't you have increased it to 3500?

[Banned User] Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Awake > Epoch > Dive for me. Recently been getting back into Dive, but I discovered them through Adult Swim where the commercials played songs from Awake. Before it was even released if I’m remembering correctly, because it took me forever to find it and Shazam on my phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was me. The wiki still says it, but in the "Background" section where it's referenced saying "they have been 'adapted for a bit more of an organic, indie rock template', with vocals from Saint Sinner on five of the album's eight tracks", that linked site on magneticmag.com must've changed because it doesn't mention it anymore... wonder if that has something to do with the initial backlash of vocals on pink & blue... the Tycho guy also made some post on the their facebook page talking about the reactions to that single so maybe something is happening.
