Then a signed copy. Then a limited edition print + record. Then a super special limited edition that comes with Drew's gold foiled pubes. phillybhatesme and danyc 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seemed egregious. $40 for a single LP is tough. But these will sell out and you'll be left with discogs prices if you want to get one at that point. I wouldn't normally buy a $40 single LP but I have the 2009 press and I get nervous when playing it because it is so irreplaceable. I don't feel great about the price but I snagged one of these anyway. Its just going to be more expensive later. This is spot on. I really wanted the Fillmore pressing but balked at the price. Now it's 5x the price and I am really regretting my decision not to buy. seku 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An old Bug Eyes tp? There's a release coming called the Dredg Vault, which will be big collection of art, videos, photos, etc. from their entire career. This flexi is something that will be included in that Vault release, but it's not been stated what will be on it. They talk about the vault a bit in this podcast episode from earlier this year Edited November 15, 2021 by Justinadamk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same goes for the new album, I thought earlier this year they'd maybe do a pre-order this winter but now I can't see them releasing anything new earlier than 2023 - especially if this Vault release is an actual thing and they have to do all kinds of artwork/mastering/package design for that. 13 minutes ago, phillybhatesme said: I noticed this as well AND they're not sold out...so I wonder if they're just taking orders and will fulfill however many come in and then some? Idk. The first and second CWA pressings took months to sell out each...months. And those are only around 1000 copies per version. I have a feeling that this band is not as big anymore as a lot of fans think, the fact that CWA took so long to sell out a few years ago really surprised me, because that was the one record a lot of people wanted to see happening, even those who don't listen to the rest of their catalogue, and it still was available for a long time. So I wouldn't worry about the "limited" part of this new release. It's going to be limited enough. phillybhatesme 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyte30351 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 With the booklet I decided to pick up a second copy and let my OG rest. And super excited to check out the makin’ of “Leitmotif” video on YouTube this Friday. I thought they were originally gonna release in on VHS, but kinda glad they may have decided not to do that. I’m not so sure that any kinda archive release will hold up their new material as they’ve had over a year to decide what to do, like most other bands. With Black Map’s third album delayed to early next year I could see the new dredg album bein’ pushed back further. But I still believe it’ll be worth the wait.

According to this podcast with Gavin that came out yesterday, I think the VHS vault thing could still be happening too! Also, 2 albums worth of dredg material in demo form right now (will likely be cut down for release) Edited November 16, 2021 by Justinadamk Kyte30351 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve loved dredg since somewhere ‘round 1999/2000 when an ol’ Internet friend sent me “Of the Room” from their industry demo and mp3s of “Leitmotif”. Sure, “Chuckles & Mr. Squeezy” was not up to par, but it was much more a collaboration with the producer than a traditional band album from them. And those songs live were pretty good! If you don’t wanna pay their prices, don’t. Maybe it’ll send the message that they’re chargin’ too much. Except all of their vinyl releases have sold out and end up even more overpriced on the resale market. Complain all you want, folks. I’m gonna sit back and enjoy their tunes on vinyl or whatever format I choose at this point, and wait with baited breath on live show or general tour announcement!

Jim Steele Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Would have loved to grab one of these. But at $40 for the record, $27 shipping to Europe and import fees it’s an easy pass. Shame though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillybhatesme Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 My justification was that this was the only way to obtain this album without paying triple digits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vega Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I love how people complain about paying 70 dollars with shipping for an album that was previously only available for 400 dollars, without a booklet at that. If you guys would have seen an OG black copy for 70 bucks on ebay you would have bought it immediately. I mean, yeah, it is over-priced, but we're talking about the same band where the bassist sells the records on his own website for triple the price a few months after they sell out. danyc, Kyte30351 and seku 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluethumb Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Late to the game on this one but psyched to grab a copy from their store. $50 shipped isn't ideal but I want it so take my money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokimedo Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 just a quick update here since this confirmation email is lingering in my unread mailbox, just constantly staring at me for months. i checked the product page and looks like this was quietly bumped to an end of august release date.

SNEAKORDS Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 yeah, I ordered one for my friend and one for myself, his showed up yesterday and mine came today. haven't had a chance to play it yet but the jacket is pretty cheap and flimsy. the booklet is a nice addition I guess.

Vega Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Got mine today, the packaging is surprisingly flimsy, surprising because the original is okay I guess but nothing special and quite thin as well, this one is even worse plus the design of the spine is really odd, the back and front basically split on the spine, the original is cleaner there design wise. So yeah, 40 bucks for this is quite a lot having it in hand now, and I was defending them making it this expensive because of the booklet etc. Hope the pressings of their next album, if it will eventually come out in 9 years will be on par with El Cielo and Pariah.

ntslash Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 The jacket is definitely a step down from the previous pressing. A little flimsier, weird spine, more pixelated. Vinyl color is nice. Was filthy, so make sure you give it a really good clean. Sounds the same as my original black pressing, which I would say is slightly better than the CD. Overall, a pretty mediocre release.

Kyte30351 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 The jacket layout on the spine just looks tacky, and I agree with the disappointment in the booklet that came with it. Was definitely hopin' to see more photos from back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
