phillybhatesme Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 I guess they just keep making these boots, so chances are they'll pop up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V3XED Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Finally pulled the trig on one of these. It will be the first and only boot I own... really just wish I could get the genuine article. Anyways, I will be plenty happy enough if its a white or red set. Not so hot on the purple combos. So wish me luck on my $60 dice roll. 🤤 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepperonigin Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Where were you able to buy one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shenanigans Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Local shop had about 8 copies on Wednesday. Grabbed one for myself and was able to help out a couple others. I don't think these are going to stop popping up anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCDELTAT Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I guess since I want a copy of this, I'll have to start watching these sites. I can give one of my secrets away. There's a Chrome extension called Distill that is perfect for this type of situation. The extension can monitor a webpage for changes at a given interval. I just selected to monitor the "SOLD OUT" button on the Rock Bottom page every 3 minutes. ScreechingBottlerocket 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slinch Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Man for a boot that's listed everywhere as an eu import it's absurdly impossible to find it in eu or even a place that ships to eu -.- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twatay Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Would love to know if anyone in AFI is aware of these STS boots and how much they go for. If it were me I'd be on the horn so fuckin fast trying to get an official repress in production. ScreechingBottlerocket 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically yeah but that would just be another unnecessary cost on top of already unnecessarily high cost of the boot and shipping and import fees. I've got an OG press, but in addition to it being my fave afi album it's also the first vinyl record I ever bough so it's got a special place in my heart and I'm trying to keep it off heavy rotation. I've had at leas 5 or 6 copies of the OG at one point, but gave all of the extras away as presents and such as it was anything but hard to find back then 😩 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffbloom Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I hope these $50-$70 boots keep selling for the next year and then in 2023 they release a really great, mastered for vinyl, MOV #'d press for the 20th anniversary for $40 that puts them all to shame. phillybhatesme 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd be great. The original sounds pretty good, so I could only imagine how great it would be if it were completely remastered for vinyl.

Years ago somebody told me that Davey wants AFI vinyl to stay limited, which is why the band never advocates for represses. I'm unsure of the validity of that statement, but it would explain why the band and labels never push for this with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s cool and all if that’s a principle artists want to apply to their music, but I’ve found that 99% of them eventually go back on that idea, because money. Life happens, expenses happen – I wish I had a nickel for every time I heard an artist or label say that there are zero plans to ever repress a certain album, only to see it as a limited drop or RSD exclusive within 2-5 years. Bootleg markets – especially those priced this excessively – are everything wrong with modern vinyl though. Someone in another thread speculated that the kind of music that gets posted on VC – shit from the last 30 years, colored vinyl, limited editions – are more or less the NFTs of music enthusiasts. That seems exemplified with boots. These are all sourced from MP3s and can sound serviceable at best… but jokes aside, you can legitimately stream the same music at 320 or even 192 kbps, while simultaneously playing a YouTube video of “Vinyl Crackle Sound FX”, and you’re going to get the same result. From a listening perspective, it’s a total meme to willingly pay $70 for this junk. What that leaves is the satisfaction people get from having the spine of this record visible on their shelf. Or the option to have it framed, I suppose. Or the opportunity to snap a photo of it for Instagram (perhaps alongside the more affordable albums in the band’s discography) to larp as a devout fan and flex a complete collection, I guess. “But OG copies are $600. I’m not paying that.” Then don’t, as you shouldn't. Anyone who has been collecting vinyl for more than 6-7 years is probably aware of how everything eventually gets a reissue or repress. There’s been stuff that I would have never in my wildest dreams imagined would get repressed; albums from bands who’ve been defunct for 10+years, with labels no longer in business, and seemingly no demand to have the music pressed again. Patience is a virtue, etc. I would rather have a gap where that album will eventually go, than a garbage copy that “sounds okay” as MP3s on wax. But I’m me and you’re you. Maybe I value shelf space more than you do. Maybe $70 means more to me and the new releases I buy than it does to you and the prospect of saying you can finally own something that resembles a coveted album. People buy pastries with the sole intent of sitting on them and ripping ass so who am I to say what the world should or should not be spending money on at the of the day?
