ihprstl Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Did No Idea stick the purple numbered/color pieces of paper in with the 18th pressing? If so can someone post a picture of it with the Pumpkin color of said pressing? I think some dude on e-bay is trying to pull a fast one on me.

xjustinxschwierx Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 just because I'm bored, I counted the pressing numbers of RAR according to the NI discography and there are 17108 copies of that LP(not counting test pressings). Kinda fucking insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lechevre Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 and 15,000 are all in VC households. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlikesmusic Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Really there are probably less than a thousand or two copies between all of the variant collectors. Most people seem content with 1 copy of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyle Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Really there are probably less than a thousand or two copies between all of the variant collectors. Most people seem content with 1 copy of it. You really believe that only 1,000-2,000 different people own this record? I know the band has quite a few collectors who do variants, but come on, that's a little low.

geezfools Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I still don't own a copy, but I might change that tomorrow and pick one up at hot topic, gotta go through and pick a nice color... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently purchased 3 different copies, but looking at the pressing list, and all the variants, i think i already regret it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vardcore Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Since I've seen a few mentions in various places, here are a few insights: -- We totally love the energy and insanity of record collectors. We make records first and foremost for ourselves, then for everyone else who wants them. We are basically fans of the music we release, so we want to keep things exiting and fun for US and then for everyone else too. -- We often press records on random colored vinyl. When we do this, we have no clue what the colors will be until they arrive. That's the mystery factor. Sometimes they are all grey/purple. Sometimes they are 10 distinctly different colors. We get some pretty insane colors some times. Stuff you could never order, it's just fate. Also, these colors fade across the pressing. So, if we make 500 records, there might be 4 distinct colors. But they fade in and out. So what starts as "orange" might be lighter for 20 and darker for 20 but fairly consistent for the middle 200. Overall you have 240 orange. Where do you draw the line? Could you get uber-anal and call it THREE colors of orange? Sure. But that gets crazy after a while. Variation within the variation? That's up to the beholder. We try to be reasonable about it. -- What if we had never posted color breakdowns? How would that effect your quality of life? Would you own as many copies of the same record? Or less? Or more? Would it improve the chase... or kill it? (Before we had pressing info posted, we used to get a LOT of questions. And that was before everyone was permanently glued to the internet. I think it would be worse now. Posting it keeps people from constantly asking, besides being pretty interesting. It also serves as a mythbreaker for some records.) -- We like to make colored vinyl for every copy pressed so that EVERY person that gets a copy essentially gets a SPECIAL copy. I think that's cool. As an after effect, for some records, that also means that uber-nerds break into a sweat every time a new batch of records arrives from the plant. This is a side effect. We're not shirking it, but really, 95% of each pressing (or more) is going to NEW people, not collectors who have multiples. -- Don't take it too seriously. Especially with RAR. It's just a record. A damn cool record, but just a record. Especially with the random colors... you will NEVER get them all. And the colors will repeat in unplanned, close proximity to each other, over time. We change the label colors to help ease the minds of the select few die-hards, and just to be weird, but... to try for them all is to be doomed to a life of misery. WE don't even have a visual record of all the pressings. For real. -- HT tends to get the larger run colors. Just so you know. That said, they still get a fair variety over time. -- Did anyone notice that we changed the logo / address on the back cover of RAR? I wondered if anyone caught that. There have been at least five variations of the covers over the years. Mostly it's just in the paper stock or varnish (and not all were intentional). -- That said, I have a few ideas for future RAR pressings. Some of them have been on the backburner for a couple years. Stay tuned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
