timsimmons Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) He's got 2 pressings of this LP available version 001 - Clear with blood red splatter https://shop.theweeknd.com/products/after-hours-album-collector-s-vinyl-001-digital-album?c=%2Fcollections%2Fnew-arrivals&t=New+Arrivals version 002 - Red with black splatter https://shop.theweeknd.com/products/after-hours-album-collector-s-vinyl-002-digital-album?c=%2Fcollections%2Fnew-arrivals&t=New+Arrivals $40, but only $5 to ship (surprising really - he seems like one of those $12 for media mail guys) Edited March 16, 2020 by timsimmons dnl and corey. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapeebs Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Actually been enjoying the singles so far. Most hyped I've been on his stuff since Trilogy days. Might have to grab one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Tough decision here as I'm generally not a huge fan but I did really like the 2 songs he played on SNL last week. I'm probably going to regret not getting one of these but am i safe in assuming that there is a good chance that there will be a dozen variants of this by the time it gets released?

timsimmons Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) He did take down the merch that went up at the same time. But, yeah, that’s lame. Edited March 16, 2020 by timsimmons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrodan Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 If I had to guess it’s because he sold a super low amount of these than planned because the price is for suckers. N8TRU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 It seems to be how UMG does everything these days. So far the "limited time drops" have been pretty accurate for apparel, but music and the playing cards have come up in repeat 24 or 48 hour limited drops. I think they're actually selling loads of the variants because the 7 inches for Blinding Lights\Heartless came up more than once as people were buying the full set. Wouldn't be surprised if another variant or 2 for the album came up in the next few days and then on release day all previous variants were available again for another drop. Also keep in mind the black After Hours LPs should be available near launch, while the site is saying the splatter variants are 16 weeks out. Considering I still haven't gotten shipping on the singles I ordered months ago, I wouldn't actually expect these in 16 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 The lying about 24hr windows is less egregious than the taking pre-orders before having a Test Pressing Approved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) Didn't he sell signed lps in the past and they ended up being preprinted autos? Edited March 20, 2020 by fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) Yes and no. when trilogy got a pressing, it was advertised as signed. They came with weird pre printed sigs on each cover. People were all “wtf?!?”, and then a few months later they sent a signed flat to everyone who ordered. Then a year later they sent an exclusive 7” to promote the followup album. so it was sketchy at first, but they made it right.

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Isn't Universal Music Group handling this? After that J. Cole mess I'm not dealing with their signatures again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Yeah, it's UMG. The CDs people got are really signed so I would expect the same for the vinyl if you're into that sorta thing. I think after the Kendrick\J Cole messes most places learned their lesson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
