supchillinyou Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 just out of curiosity and I hate to bring this thread off topic, but I find it kind of interesting that people here and elsewhere sometimes complain about how a label packs their records or whether a record is packaged properly or not. I just got a few packages of records in this week from labels and distros (VC included) and none of them had bubble wrap or cardboard or anything, just sent in an LP box. I don't know why all the hate towards Rivalry with how they shipped the PIB records, because lately I've been noticing that even a lot of labels don't overly pack some stuff (and this is also for records that aren't shrink wrapped or come with a polybag). Not trying to talk shit but I'll probably get smited anyways... just a small observation I've noticed. I think it was the fact that the records were sent without shrinkwrap or a plastic sleeve - so it was basically the jacket rubbing against the cardboard mailer. I see no problem sending LPs that are shrinkwrapped or in a plastic sleeve in a mailer without padding - perferrably with a cardboard flat - as records won't get messed up that way unless the actuall mailer is crushed, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokithelion Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 labels like this are making CRAZY cash selling multiple pressings of records to you guys who will buy every color variation of every pressing. its pointless. these wont maintain any value. are you seriously telling me the label thought they would only sell 1000 or whatever the initial pressing of these was? To be fair, I think selling out 1,000 records in a few weeks is pretty insane. Maybe they should have pressed 2,000 but they've got the plates and if they need to make more they will. Why is everything a conspiracy to fuck record collectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtz Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 It's cool that they are sticking with colors that go with the artwork. I am happy with what I have with this album though. I'll pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really have a problem having records shipped to me in the shrinkwrap or the jacket for that matter - it does nothing to the jacket that hasn't already been done when being packaged at the pressing plant or in shipment from the plant to the label.

lokithelion Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 it's still $16 fucking dollars. price never bothered me, though the dude selling tests for it for 150-250 dollars is bullshit. Shit getting inflated because of a bidding war is one thing, but this press has already recouped and he made 20 tests. Thats a pretty profit.

adammuzzy Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 SRSLY makes me want to ebay my friends press. whoever ends up winning it could've spent as much as they spend on the friends press and bought a test press that is 5-6x rarer than that.

cadetapplesauce Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 i don't mind a repress. but it's extremely soon. i'll probably place an order when i start working again over spring break. hopefully the green won't sell out by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hickey Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Seems to me they knew this second press was coming (or it is the rest of the first press being advertised as a second press). Think about it...the friends press is blue green swirl (likely made in between the blue and green records they are selling now as a second press).

derbsauce Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Fuck you Chapman and your making retarded money from that auction. Probably won't be buying this press. I have Black and White, I'll trade the black eventually... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
