David Loyd Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I still don't understand why Crank! don't have an online store. They obviously have more copies of this and the demand is definitely there. This. Along with Mineral, they need to press all the fireside stuff. I'd be all over those Fantastic Four, Do not Tailgate and Hello Kids if they were pressed on vinyl. . Tom Delonge's UFO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrodan Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I'd buy so much stuff from them, but I don't want to deal with doing it through email. ladies and gentleman, lazy record collectors in 2014 personified. smh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcellini Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Well they only have a few titles left in catalog anyway. And yeah, if you are really interested you can deal sending an email I think.. Having said that, they had a web store until a few years ago but then closed it down as it's not an active label anymore. Guess that it was somewhat cool to grab the blue repress which came out almost secretly, a sort of "thrill of the hunt" thing if you know what i mean. Or maybe just plain luck, probably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almightyseancore Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 They are the pioneers of emo, they pretty much started it all in my opinion. tape, niblips, deletedunknown and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheriver Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I ordered a black copy directly from the label a while ago. It didn't show up after a month or so, so I emailed them and they said they would send another copy. Wound up receiving a more limited/expensive blue copy. No complaints with dealing with their email only mail order after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck, I was looking for a code to buy this. Oh well. Picked it up anyways without 15% off. I never read newsletters, just straight to trash. Maybe I should start.

niblips Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I got in on this just before leaving work. I have a taped copy from a friend, and to pick the vinyl up now when i have the means is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Fuck yes! Jeff still has some of those Blue copies of The Power of Failing (limited to 50 according to discogs...? Doesn't sound right.) if people are interested. I just got one Looks like he's all sold out of End Serenading though. The Power of Failing on blue is $40...kind of seems worth it though, especially if it's really limited to 50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Didn't the blue ones have a problem with warping? Did they? I have no idea. Anyone else? Edit: on page 17 of this thread someone said they just generally had problems with the Mineral records ordered this way being warped.

billya Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 just a small note of warning.. I bought one of the blue power of failings from them and literally had to send three back cause they were weirdly warped. eventually I just kept one that was the least amount of warped. I was still happy to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I'll still give it a try, I'll let you guys know how it goes when it arrives. Won't be for a little bit though, he said the next mailing is in two weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Power of Failing on blue is $40...kind of seems worth it though, especially if it's really limited to 50. The reason they still have blue copies is they're the same thing but more than double the cost. I think there are a total of 150 colored vinyl available * We would *love* to repress EndSerenading too, and it seems the demand is huge for it. Our big problem is finding the original artwork. Give us a little bit of time on this one and we'll try to get that done for you. I hope this helps answer a few questions. Let me know if you have any others. And, as always, huge enormous heartfelt thanks for everybody's continued support of crank! Jeff crank! founder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 The reason they still have blue copies is they're the same thing but more than double the cost. I mean...you could say that about any record though really, couldn't you? Why is any variant more expensive than a black unlimited record? Because it's limited and colored. Just because you're getting it at a marked up price direct from the distro rather than buying it at a marked up price on the secondary market doesn't make it any less limited or worthwhile, does it?

The point is that Crank, the label that repressed it is selling the more limited color for a ridiculously high price. Shitty of them todo. Who the fuck wants to pay $40 for a single LP directly from a label? somber_silt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 The point is that Crank, the label that repressed it is selling the more limited color for a ridiculously high price. Shitty of them to do. Who the fuck wants to pay $40 for a single LP directly from a label? I mean, I get it and it is certainly shitty of them, and knowing that it isn't actually limited to 50 makes me want it significantly less so I probably won't be finishing my order for blue since I just asked him if he could hold on to one for me. But I guess what I'm saying is, let's say Deja gets repressed and they're selling a black vinyl copy for $25, and an almost identical but colored and more limited version for $60. Are you telling me that there aren't people on this board who would snatch up every last one of those colored slabs? I'm not trying to argue that it isn't shitty of them to do it, I'm just saying that it doesn't seem unthinkable that a company, which is what any label or distro is in the long run, would see the potential for profit and try to take advantage of it. Especially considering that if they were the same price from the label, they would be sold out long ago and flipped for at least $60 on the secondary market. Anyway, long story short, like I said, not trying to start an argument or anything, I just don't see why anyone would knock someone for getting stoked that something they thought was limited to 50 copies wasn't sold out, and obviously if that same person posted the price, they know how much it cost.
