AlexH. Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I'm unfamiliar with most of Animal Collective's work, it sounds like these are just early demo recordings? Even if they weren't, all you get for your money is 3 12"s. Screened inner sleeves and an obi strip do not make a 3xLP worth $100. Death to overpriced opportunistic box sets "for the fans"! This will be on what.cd a week after it ships, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be on what.cd a week after it ships, anyway. I think the price is ridiculous, and despite looking forward to it will be holding off. I will say that the band has said this will not be put on CD or anything, and to be honest, they aren't like a lot of bands that are just out to make a buck. I have a feeling they wanted these a particular way, and then ended up with quite the cost. But honestly, I highly doubt any CD or digital release. Will someone rip it...yes.

pianorocker Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Also, they are early demo recordings. But it's different than a lot of box sets coming out from other bands. Yes, it's expensive...but this will likely be the only release of this ever and only format it will be put out on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circlingvultures Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 the test press of this sold a month ago for over two grand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enjoyadrian Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 the test press of this sold a month ago for over two grand. the bidder who won never paid for it so they relisted it. it sold for less than 600 i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circlingvultures Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 which is way more than $92. I've never heard this band but with as much as everyone hypes them, fans might want to suck it up and get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impact Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 i caved in and bought it.. good thing i did, its sold out now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enjoyadrian Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 i wish they would have announced a release date instead of just springing it onto the masses. I would have saved up for it. FML. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melikecheese Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Looks super cool, 93 bucks is a bit much but the artwork is sick! I liked this blurb from the labels site: "All retail copies will still be going through Fusetron -- as in we won't be selling copies here, so no amount of begging us will get you one. And they won't be going through normal distribution channels -- too much stuff gets sold to "stores" that simple flip the records on eBay for a profit. So we'll announce things here soon, but in the meantime check the picture below and spread the word about the auction, it's for a good cause."

This was also a charity auction for doctors without borders which can inflate the selling price. I fully support test pressing auctions for charity.

scottheisel Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 Wow, I am surprised it sold out that fast. That label just pulled in nearly $10k in under 24 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fueledbymike Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 yea this thing is guna go for some hella high prices on the bay soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickheitman Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 the label said they stopped selling them temporarily. i was under the impression that more would be put up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kevinb Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 the label said they stopped selling them temporarily. i was under the impression that more would be put up soon. yeah but it also said"IF THERE ARE ANY COPIES LEFT WE WILL ANNOUNCE IT ON THE NEXT EMAIL UPDATE. THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR THEIR ENTHUSIASM***" I bet they are just trying to build some hype, I have no doubt this will sell out but I don't think it did this fast.

vidvidalgo Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 -- too much stuff gets sold to "stores" that simple flip the records on eBay for a profit. Which is why we are putting it online only for the low, low price of $92. After it sells, people that bought it will probably go ahead and turn around and sell it on eBay so that fans that actually want to hear the album will have to pay well over $100 to pick up a copy. Also, we're not releasing a CD. Don't thank us, we know how awesome we are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
