Ryan8765 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 A record store just opened up near me, so I decided to pop in and see what they had going on. I was pretty blown away by what I saw. OP MCIS. Numbered. Official. Going for 150 bucks. Also saw a copy of Machina, which is really a beautiful package if you haven't seen it. I think it was around 70-80 bucks. I never thought I would run into these albums in the wild... I already own these albums or else I'd have bought them. And I was still tempted to get that MCIS. The place had some other really cool records, but not related to the pumpkins, so I won't mention them here. Anyway if you are in phoenix, looking for these, then check the place out. It's called the "Record Room" and it's on SE corner of Dunlap and the I-17. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highfives Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 That's a steal for a numbered copy of MCIS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He misunderstood, and said that a lot of people mention how expensive he has it priced. I told him NO WAY! That is a really good deal! I'm surprised he hasn't sold it online. The op has really held it's value since the reissue and considering there are something like over 18-20 thousand copies floating around.

DecayToDeath Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I would buy that in a heartbeat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan8765 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Well I had a few inquiries so I will post here. Turns out the store near me carrying MCIS sold it on Saturday 7/23. It was numbered 130XX. If you see someone from AZ flipping it on Ebay, make sure you give them hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattisr1984 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I'd say to him "hey, you're pretty smart. Good on you." I don't know why people care so much about what other people do with the things they own. I mean, the record store might have paid the original owner 10 bucks for that record for all anyone knows. This happens way more at record stores / trade-in places than you would think. They will take advantage. A lot of people own stuff that is worth money and don't even know it because people are stupid. Point is - that record store isn't necessarily any less unscrupulous than someone who potentially spent 150 bucks on it to flip somewhere else. Once you take ownership of something, you can do whatever you want with it. glass realms, stl_ben and jeromium 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinyl addict Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Did you look at the condition of the vinyl? For the price, it was probably beat. I'm amazed at how many people I see buying records without inspecting them/ asking the online seller. That's a good way to get burned.

I made the mistake of telling a used car salesman that line once when I went to check out a car I was interested in, that was fairly hard to find. I didn't have much luck talking him down on price when I went back the next day to buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highfives Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 New BC solo album confirmed to be finished, no date yet. Also Billy and Jeff are starting a new band. There's also a BIG Pumpkins announcement looming which sounds like a reunion or something like that. check the SP Facebook for the video update!

Heartbreaker07 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Fingers crossed for a show at the metro with the OG lineup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highfives Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Here's the video. https://facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10154462019902642&id=7301722641&refsrc=https%3A%2F%2Fm.facebook.com%2Fsmashingpumpkins%2Fvideos%2F10154462019902642%2F&_rdr Someone was guessing, Billy and Jeff form a new band because Billy loves playing with Jeff and has been for years. He does this because the Smashing Pumpkins will now be the original lineup and will tour as such. It's a win-win for everyone involved. And that is a tour I will not miss.

timsimmons Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Yeah, it sounds like the original lineup will be back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan8765 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 All I care about is new music. Having a chance to see the original lineup would be great, but it'd be cool to just get that Iha magic and Chamberlain groove on another album. Maybe release one last album under the Pumpkins moniker and do the new band with Jeff going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 At this point all I want is the Machina CD/vinyl reissue and then I'm probably out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I'm all in for Zwan, Stigmata, The Future Embrace, and Zeitgeist too. And a reunion, and whatever else they decide to do. Maybe I'm a glutton for punishment, but I'm certainly not fare-weather about it. Ryan8765 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
