dapeebs Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 http://www.candyrat.com/artists/thereignofkindo/rhythmchordandmelodylp/ Limited Edition 2 x 180g Vinyl (Pre-Order) They will ship by the summer of 2020. Due to popular demand, we are taking pre-orders for a double 180g pressing of our 2008 debut LP, Rhythm, Chord & Melody! To make things even sweeter, you can pre-order an exclusive bundle with a signed poster + t-shirt! We need to reach 350 pre-orders to raise the money needed to make the pressing happen. Our deadline to reach this goal is April 4th. Secure your's now and spread the word! *(Don't sweat. If for any reason we are unable to reach our goal, your money will be fully refunded.) Open ended pre-order, weird move that I've never seen. Usually this type of format is Kickstarter or one of its equivalents. Pretty pricey at $40 as well.

erasedtapes Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 That really is weird. I'm assuming it's just black? If so, that'd be the most expensive standard 2xLP I've seen. This album is nostalgic af for me, but I'm not sure if it's worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backpackoat Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I saw the topic and was very excited. Now, not so much. I doubt they reach their goal, especially at this price. Wish they had a better label or something--I don't know where the blame lies because this is an incredibly talented band. Really want This is What Happens and Play With Fire but this pretty much assures we'll never get those. Am I being overly pessimistic?

dapeebs Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 They just updated saying they're less than 150 pre-orders away from making this happen. Took a month to get to that point, so not sure I'm quite ready to have my money hang in limbo just yet. Might slide my pre-order in a week before their goal date and see what happens.

If it helps at all from what I've seen their most recent album was self released by them as well on vinyl and it's super high quality, both in terms of physical presentation and the pressing quality.

I do have that one actually, and you're right--it's an excellent package. I really like this band a lot and want them to press everything and succeed but I think the price point is a really hard thing to overcome. I don't know how big their following is but I assume it's modest, which makes it even tougher. 150 is a lot more to go especially considering that the lion's share of most preorders (I'm assuming) come in when it first goes up. Just wish there was another way for these records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 This band has always been weird about funding stuff. Haven’t cared for anything since This Is What Happens unfortunately. I’ll shell out $40 if that gets pressed. Album is incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoublesGuy Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I don't see them getting 350 pre-orders, which is a shame because it's a classic album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapeebs Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 The full 350 orders were filled, so they left the pre-order open for the time being. They didn't specify for how long. But at least it's a definite pressing now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drummerboy032 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Hmmm I want this. But the price is... well, yea. More than I want to pay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapeebs Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 Looks like this is delayed. Preorder page says September/October 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
