You’ll get a message that there aren’t enough in stock and the cart will update to reflect what’s available. Interesting, great tip. Thank you!

Out of curiosity where are you able to check inventory? inner turmoil accurately sums up how I feel about this purchase I haven't bought a record in a good while and rarely spin anything, this feels very out of place right now for me Paypal literally called me thinking it was a fraud charge lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll spend $67ish on way dumber shit over the course of 2 weeks, I can almost guarantee it. And while I’d never suggest to flip Microphones, the reality is that this boxset has mostly sold out in < 24 hours, and won’t be any cheaper down the road elsewhere. Unless you’re truly hurting on funds or trying to save for something more pressing, this feels like a worthwhile scenario to act now, dwell later. (Also consider that the money is going straight to Phil and his label which always feels good.) Multiverse 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I figure since all of these are somewhat recently remastered I'll feel ok trading in my old pressings to pay back part of the cost, I'm certain the new pressings I don't own are improved in terms of sound and packaging anyway. There are very very few artists I'd justify spending on this kind of indulgent feeling release but he's definitely one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DecayToDeath Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I didn't feel bad buying it, sold my copies of it was hot/glow/ount erie/2020 in a bundle for $100 on reddit to offset it a little bit. Big-picture I'm "taking a loss", but Phil's high on the list of musicians who've stuck to their roots and deserve to be adequately compensated (has K records even paid him out after that whole fiasco?).

HoneyFrosted Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) Succumbed to the FOMO. I don’t have any microphones albums right now but I always enjoy acquiring a total discography so I don’t have to hunt. 25 bucks an album isn’t terrible nowadays. EDIT: Wait. It’s 25 per disc. So it’s more like 35 per album. Dang. But, uh, book downloads etc pls let me justify this Edited January 16, 2022 by HoneyFrosted Multiverse 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronchitis Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Not sure when it was added, but there is a note saying remaining boxes won’t have sleeves for Early Tapes. I wonder what happened there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bear801 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 If this was $75 cheaper I’d go for it. I like about half of his stuff. This box is really really cool though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the same boat. I prefer Mount Eerie, but there's definitely Microphones albums I LOVE and some that I'd probably only spin once or twice on here. I'll still never forgive myself for selling that triple LP version of The Glow Pt. 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
