Derek™ Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Posted via Triple Crown's Twitter page, 45 minutes ago: Next TCR vinyl, The Dear Hunter Act I & II triple LP details soon Anyone else a fan of TDH? Act II is quite possibly one of my favorite albums, ever. I had secretly been hoping to someday hear their entire discography on vinyl, but didn't think it would happen so soon. Pretty pumped about this release, even if it sports the inevitable $40 - $50 pricetag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

element101 Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 why the $40-50 dollar price tag though? isnt that kinda alot? I dont think so, especially since we don't know about packaging and what not yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 why the $40-50 dollar price tag though? isnt that kinda alot? That's just an estimate. Three LPs + theoretical "deluxe" packaging + shipping + the fact it's Triple Crown. Probably not quite $50, but fairly close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordan999 Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 or if you consider their current price ranges in their store: $11-15 for single LPs, and $15-17, your conjecture is completely moronic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 "I disagree" or "Whoa. That's a little steep, don't you think?" would have made you sound like much less of a prick. Just saying. But I'm aware that this is the internet, and that you're obviously hot shit. So. Damn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmoney Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Up now through the fan club on clear vinyl. It's 125 to join and only 250 available. Not sure if this will be the only place to get the vinyl though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I really hope not. I'm not paying $125 for the vinyl, a poster, an EP, and a show pass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 Up now through the fan club on clear vinyl. It's 125 to join and only 250 available. Not sure if this will be the only place to get the vinyl though. I honestly had no idea what you were talking about until I did a bit of Googling. Pretty interesting package they speak of. A little more info, for anyone not in the know. THE DEAR HUNTER has been taking a much-deserved break after criss-crossing the U.S. for most of 2009 in support of their critically acclaimed ACT III: LIFE AND DEATH, which was released June 23 on Triple Crown Records. That doesn’t mean they’ve stopped working though.The band has been spending time putting together an extra special, super limited package for fans who sign up for a lifetime fan club membership. For $125, starting on April 14, 250 lucky fans will receive: * ACT I: THE LAKE SOUTH, THE RIVER NORTH and ACT II: THE MEANING OF, & ALL THINGS REGARDING MS. LEADING on clear vinyl with brand new, never-before-seen artwork encompassing both ACT I and ACT II. * A download card that will contain several never-before-heard alternate versions of songs from ACT I and ACT II. * A new digital-only EP featuring 3 brand new songs (unrelated to ACT I-III), available only to members of the fan club upon purchase. * A lifetime “The Dear Hunter Passport,” which guarantees entry into any show, anytime, anywhere in the world. Specifically, a laminated pass with their picture on it. * * A personal thank you in the liner notes of ACT IV, which is currently in the works. * A hand-written letter from singer/songwriter/producer/multi-instrumentalist Casey Crescenzo. * A signed poster of the artwork for the limited edition EP. To make it even more special, there will be ONE Golden Ticket placed in the vinyl packaging that guarantees the recipient a private performance by THE DEAR HUNTER anywhere in the U.S. of their choosing, whether it’s in a club, living room, back yard, school gym, etc. "After the past 4 years of operating on the standard record cycle system,” explains Crescenzo, “we had been searching for a way to step out of our box. As soon as this idea was presented, we were offered one creative opportunity after another—re-examining our approach to the visual nature of projects from the beginning of the band at the same time we opened the creative floodgates on new material in our home studio. We have always held our fans and friends in such high regard, so offering something special like this is truly exciting, and it gives fans a chance to become an even bigger part of what this band is about." The band’s website, Facebook, Myspace and Twitter pages will feature a video greeting by Casey Crescenzo, which will include information about the package as it’s made available.* Minimal restrictions will apply (i.e. festivals, etc.). Entry to shows will be done on an RSVP basis, but due to the limited nature of this offer, it won’t cause much restriction. I'm going to assume that the clear vinyl is limited in itself, and made available exclusively through the fan club. A regular / alternate colored pressing should be made available in mass, to the general public. Just my speculation. I really hope not. I'm not paying $125 for the vinyl, a poster, an EP, and a show pass! Dude. PERSONALIZED LETTER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviex2shoes Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 June 29th release date? That's a ways off...I'm going to wait to see if there are any others selling. But $21 is a sweet deal. I'll probably end up getting it from interpunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
