anders Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 From Eels' site (below). Costs a staggering $205, which pretty much rules me out right now. Shiiit, I'd like this a lot, but that's $255 to Norway. Anyways, here's the info: Eels BLINKING LIGHTS DELUXE NUMBERED & SIGNED 4 LP EDITION - LIMITED TO 2500 - To celebrate the release of the EELS' acclaimed BLINKING LIGHTS AND OTHER REVELATIONS 4 LP deluxe vinyl limited edition the band is giving away a 4 song EP download for one week. The deluxe BLINKING LIGHTS package includes 3 LPs of the critically acclaimed album on vinyl for the first time with a fourth disc that is an exclusive 17 track live album, MANCHESTER 2005, recorded shortly after the release of BLINKING LIGHTS. Pressed on 180 gram vinyl, the 4 LPs each have their own covers, rice paper dust sleeves, and are accompanied by a hardback book of lyrics and photos, all housed in a beautifully crafted box that is numbered and begrudgingly signed by the author himself, EELS leader E. The edition is limited to only 2,500 copies and will be sold in order of lowest cover numbers first, 0001 - 2500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokithelion Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. This is such bullshit. 200 fucking dollars? no record is worth 50 bucks brand new apiece. I'd happily buy this for 100, based on the packaging but fuck 200!?! Grr. I'm officially never going to own a fucking eels album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante3000 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Absolutely fucking waste. I love the Eels and I would love this package but $200 for an album? Especially out of 2,500 (that's $500,000 for all the copies, roughly). This is what labels are doing, trying to make back on vinyl what they're losing in other sales. Weak.

anders Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 I have to agree with you guys, totally gutted that the price is so high. Have been checking around for Eels vinyl for some time, maybe even hoped for this release, but $205 is insane. I love Eels, but I almost hope this doesn't sell out. Says something when TRL can release the 7xlp Eluvium box set with new, exclusive artwork, signed and all for $100... Aaaarg, really gutted about this. Will have to pass on it.

dreamover Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 what is that? ebay prices already? i can't imagine they'll find 2500 people to buy this if none of us will. we'll just have to wait for none of these to sell, then the price will hopefully come down. i want this, but there's so many more things i would rather buy for that kind of cash.
