jhulud Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Thursday, September 18, 2008 Melvins 4xLP : Ltd Box Set Version Update After what seems like a year...oh wait, it HAS been a year...we've finally picked up the silkscreen parts for the box set today. About fucking time, right? Our interns just can't wait to get in here and start assembling them tomorrow. The above pic is of the first of 300 to eventually be assembled, figured some ya'll non-haters might enjoy a peek at it. Inside is the 4xLP on a color of vinyl exclusive to the box, along with a belt buckle, and a comic signed by the artist Tom Neely (some of the comics even have hand drawn images, which we thing was pretty neat of him to do). Oh, right, each of 'em are hand numbered too. After we get the final invoices settled for all the parts that go into this thing, we'll be able to set the pricing and announce it here. One thing that is for absolute certain, is that Secret Headquarters will have a stack of these for sale on Saturday, September 27th on a first come, first serve basis. posted by Hydra Headlines at 8:04 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I just hope that they stay true to their word and they do set aside a few of the box set for online as they said they are going to. Seeing is believing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Supposedly. Secret HQ will sell there...and then allegedly some set aside for online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Today is the day...and HH did a few updates on their blog: Melvins 4xLP : Ltd Box Set Available Tomorrow, Saturday September 27th Yes, Andrew is wearing a fucking Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles t-shirt....and yes, Sarah looks like a member of Hee-Haw (with good shoes, of course)....and yes, the Melvins 4xLP ltd Box Set is assembled, numbered, and sealed...but what you don't see here is that they've also been delivered to Secret Headquarters and go on sale tomorrow morning. Its a glorious day to be sure....this motherfucker has been well over a year in the making...and just might be the closest we've come to giving birth. The store opens at 11am, so head on over to Secret Headquarters bright and early to fight it out with the others for your very own copy. The boxes are selling for $90, are limited to 300, and are available while supplies last. They are out of our hands now...so blame these guys here if you be hatin'. Secret Headquarters ® 3817 W Sunset Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90026 Mon - Sat 11-9 Sun 12-7 323.666.2228 323.666.2229 fax [email protected] We also set aside a small stack of these box sets for sale through our new "official' ebay store( http://stores.ebay.com/Hydra-Head-Record ). We just set it up yesterday so its sparse at the moment, but over the next few weeks we'll be beefing it up nicely. The Melvins 4xLP Box Set isn't listed there yet, so don't go yelling about being unable to find it...you'll see them start to show up over the next few days though, so stay tuned. If you want the 4xLP but just straight up don't want to spend $90 on the box set version, then stay tuned to both the Hydra Head Shop through BCD and to the above linked ebay store over the next week as we start to roll out the regular 4xLP edition. We'll make another post when it goes up...and don't worry, we've got plenty of them for all ya'll. If you are a store that wants to buy some to sell at yr retail location, give us a shout at [email protected] and we'll see if we can get you some stock.

maximumperlich Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Scored mine at Secret HQ today. Showed up at 11:45 or so and there were two others in the store. Looked like they hadn't sold many. Get over there and get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Is there any way that someone in the close proximity to Secret HQ can get me one? I'd pay cost + shipping + effort...Hook a brotha up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentgods Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 man, if that was BIN i'd have done it. but fuck paying more then its worth the day its available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest naytoid Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 This purchase is going to cut a little deep for me especially after shipping to Aus and the state of the Au$ But it'll be worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 man, if that was BIN i'd have done it.but fuck paying more then its worth the day its available. What really burns my ass about that eBay one is that it was purchased for the sole purpose of flipping on eBay...it's obvious being that it was already up same day it was released. I know the description says the dude feels guilty and other things need to be paid for...but c'mon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentgods Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 fuck that dude. dude wants 20 bucks for shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 "Shipping from the store that was selling it was listed as $20-$30 for the continental US and so I will estimate shipping for the same range..." : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximumperlich Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 They've got an email waiting list going. Send your emails now. http://www.hydraheadlines.blogspot.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 This is getting fuckin' confusing and a bit discouraging. On an email received from Secret Headquarters, they say to email them there with your address and phone # and they will call you to place an order. Some people have been contacted and gotten orders in...at least from comments left on that SHQ post on that same HH blog. And not this post on HH blog saying to email someone at HH to be placed on a waiting list. What is going on?!?!? It's Thunderdome up in here now!!!!!

northernfailure Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I think I'd rather them just repress it as a single LP for under 15 bucks so I can just buy one without a hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
