NOFX - 126 Inches Of NOFX 7" boxset???

Fat has been taking advantage of their most rabid fans for a while now (charging more for color, the hardcore 7"/10"/12", colored reissues of in-print records) and I don't really see anything wrong with it. People can continue to feel like they need to buy dumb shit, and I will continue to buy reasonably priced LPs of releases I am interested in.

That may be true, but I don't think these box sets are taking advantage of the fans. It's no secret that vinyl is having a resurgence now, and some fans (like myself) don't want to scour the backmarket for overpriced records that we missed. That Lagwagon boxset covers their entire career, and isn't really that overpriced compared to buying the albums separately. If the NOFX set follows suit, then I'd say it's less taking advantage of older fans and more helping out the newer ones.

I did think all those Hardcore releases were nuts, though.

How dare a record label release records! What are they thinking?! I have lost all respect for Fat now that they aren't legit and aren't backed so hard. Clearly this is a money grubbing cash grab from a label trying to stay in business. I bet they'll charge actual shipping cost too in order to mail these out. How outlandish!

This. I tried to get that across on the other page but you killed it. The rest of the posts better be nothing but pictures of the boxset.

To me, "if you don't like it don't buy it" is analogous to rappers branding anyone who dislikes their work as "haters". It's a lazy deflection, and serves to make the speaker look ignorant. There is nothing wrong with making a valid criticism about a band, label, or release. Not every reaction has to be "OMG so excited but my bank account will be mad at me LOL".

With brevity and cogency, well done sir.

Kind of on the fence of buying this. I don't have the DCMW, Timmy, Pods, All of Me, Fat Club 7", but I have everything else and I don't think it will be worth the money to buy all these doubles and then 5 or 6 7" I don't have. I'm guessing this doesn't have 7OTMC records which I am happy about.
