inutil Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Where are these things? I don't believe they sold 10 000 copies of it. I think the'ye buried boxes somewhere.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manicdogbert Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 They only went out of print earlier this year. So it's not impossible to think that they sold 10K copies of this over 5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrstripe Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I got one with the lyric book. Well I had to order the lyric book separate, but the lyric books were supposed to come with the LPs when they first made them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante3000 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I got one at a local store (they had like 6). Sold it on ebay for $75, went back and they were all gone. Once GSL went under everyone sought this damn record out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikewilbury Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I bought this record about 5 years ago when it came out. $20 on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviewonderbread Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Damn, this record reminds me of living in my college dorm, smoking in the showers (ventilation), and an all out party year in 2003-04. I wish I had gotten this record on vinyl way back when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakland Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Their best for sure. I remember talking to Sonny about how there's no track listings on the record. I had no idea what order the songs go in, which is kind of important considering it's a "concept album." Sonny agreed, but said the band wanted it that way, and he sent me a CD so I could figure it out. GSL was one of the raddest labels ever.

jon720 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Regretting selling this a few months ago for 71. I'd imagine they'd repress it eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxmartinxx Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 The vinyl for Deloused came out well after the cd was released. It actually came out after "Frances The Mute" was released in 2005. Which makes even less sense of why it's sold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inutil Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 There must be some copies in stores...it'impossible they sold all the 10 000 copies of this.

mrstripe Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 No way. I got it a long time ago. Before I even knew about scab dates, or frances the mute. I remember buying it that winter of 2003 for a friend for Christmas. And I picked it up for myself earlier.

I owned a record store from 1999 until a few months ago. I know that we weren't able to order it until around the time Scab Dates was released. Perhaps they did an initial run of 1,000 in 2003 and then a larger run or two in 2005-2006? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I bet it wouldn't be hard to find this in a store somewhere still sealed. Probably not anywhere in the big city though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
