Guest conoley Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Keep in mind that the number of people who collect every color of Against Me! records is very, very small. A huge majority only buy one copy of the record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slymer Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I think it's cool that they keep it constantly in print. It's a great album and should be readily available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great album and should be readily available. it is awesome that they keep stuff in print but it gets kind of ridiculous. there's no reason they can't press 500 copies on one colour at a time. 10 variations of purple doesn't really do anything for me. with that being said, i don't own any against me records.

Guest conoley Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 There's no reason why they shouldn't repress it on as many colours as they want to/can. Like I said before, very few people try to collect them all. In fact, why should they limit the pressings to more of one color? Other than a few people who are upset that it's costing them a lot of money, there is really no reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickheitman Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 i have a question. as you've been saying, no idea usually doesn't know the colors because they use leftover colors, but what is up with no idea releases that are set in stone (i.e. the new tim version is pressed on colors divisible by 100). does that mean they payed extra to get a certain amount of certain colors?

You won't be saying that when you're in a band that makes money from people buying your records. I mean, fuck if No Idea can sell them they're going to keep pressing. Its simple business.

My theory is "big" releases and some new releases get "real" colors. For example, the new Hot Water Music record is pressed on four colors, 500 each. The Chuck Ragan LP was pressed on three seperate, distinct colors. However, for represses and smaller releases it seems like they save money by just asking them to press them with whatever color they can in order to save money. Does that make sense?

I'd imagine if a band really wanted their record to be released on a certain color, that No Idea would do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I dont really mind multiple colours of multiple press, the thing i do hate is when there is only one copy of a certain colour , there are a few hwm relases that have only 1-10 copies of certain colours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
