Sad Heart Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Gonna hold off on this. Almost $40 for a single LP for my wife who will probably never spin it. Gonna wait til the album comes out and just get black if I dig it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicondevil Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) They're really going for the $$$$$ this time with all of the variants. So far, the only ones that seem to come with the random picture are the store exclusives. Edited January 18 by lexicondevil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I originally pre-ordered the blue, but it seems orange is the perfect color for this record besides being $10 cheaper. Also, damn the three new songs are fantastic!

Gonna wait til the album comes out and just get black if I dig it. I wanted the blue one but no way am I paying almost $40 for a single lp so I'm probably going to get the target exclusive orange one as its the cheapest one and shipping will be free with my moms red card. I'm sure if they were still on matador records it would not be so expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bro Use for a Name Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Urban Outfitters has an exclusive beige & pink swirl, limited to 2000. Of note, the UO mockup looks exactly like the current image for the Rough Trade UK exclusive. https://www.urbanoutfitters.com/shop/boygenius-the-record-limited-lp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 These prices are turning me off to these, especially since none of them seem very limited. Requested a refund for the band versions and just waiting to figure out what I want. Don't feel any need to rush and buy anything. Maybe it will just be Spotify. GASP!

OldKentuckyShark Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I jumped on the cancel band version and buy the Target version bandwagon. The cheaper cost and better variant for the cover outweighed a glossy photo tape 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaybeI'll just wait and see if I can snag an indie from my local on release. At least then I can save on shipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got into buying a lot of Japanese CD pressings of jazz artists when they started putting them in replica album covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, obviously people on this forum are more likely to collect whatever physical format already, but yeah, I could see it happening. I'm about that bluray/4k life too.

I just got a unit to start storing my movies and games. Got a Panasonic player recently to upgrade my Sony, and it’s fantastic. CDs might be next on the list.
