I'm just waiting for them to do the same to me now. Of course they do it *after* SP put up their copies and they sell out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got the notification. On the plus side that Siamese Dream I ordered direct from Deep Discount is supposed to be delivered today, so one piece of good news!

TonyPerkins Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 It's wild that these SD records are still $50. I remember buying the repress in 2011 at my local FYE for either $29 or $25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ethanpricington Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 My local posted around 10:30am that they'd gotten restock of both Mellon Collie and SD. Both were super limited stock and hitting the shelves at 11am. I live about 30 minutes from the store and work until around 4 each day. But there's a reason they're my favorite store, I was able to call and purchase over the phone (even was able to use a gift card over the phone which involved me writing "VOID" on the gc myself and texting the manager the picture of it lol). So now my copy is officially reserved!!! So excited to not have missed out on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 1 hour ago, dreamover said: costs have gone way up and plant bandwidth is way down That's true but the variation in pricing is extreme from title to title and label to label. It seems like with titles that they know have people clamoring, they're pricing extra high markup upon and with less notorious acts prices are still looking similar to pre-pandemic. I don't think most of the markups are due to increased overhead. Maybe in some cases but overall it just feels like more gouging where they think they can get away with it. throwgncpr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highfives Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Looks like Plaidroom will be posting MCIS boxsets soon. They just posted an image on their instagram with pics of boxes coming off the truck. Those boxes were a little damaged, so you could expect to see some damaged listings for a bit less than retail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My order status still says pending and I order about 30 minutes ago. I'm not familiar with how fast that status changes when it comes to in stock items.

It was posted on reddit a couple hours ago so they just have sold a ton of these. But looks like some people called them and supposedly they can cover the orders so far. So hopefully you guys are good. Edited May 19, 2022 by fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But EVERYBODY READING THIS RIGHT NOW: Click the "Notify Me" button and get notified when its back in stock. That is the only reason I got my copy just now. Hopefully it comes back in greater numbers but if you don't want to miss out, get your email notification set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronchitis Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) It’s been a long time since I have spun my copy of the original pressing of this box - are all of the sides pretty messed up or is it just side A at the end of Zero where it gets all distorted and awful sounding? I can live with it if it’s just that one song. Edited May 19, 2022 by Bronchitis typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can live with it if it’s just that one song. Zero is the worst of all of the issues on that but all of the sides from about midway on get pretty clippy and crunchy and its not okay especially for how expensive it WAS back in 2012 but even if it was free, its not cool to have that kind of garbage audio on a record. I still have mine as well. It brings me so much sorrow every time I tell myself its fine and just to listen to it. Then I do and I'm pissed off all over again. The other sides are not as bad, but they are NOT good. We should really be able to exchange our discs for free when you think about it. I wonder what contacting the label would do at this point. I think we should try that. Edited May 19, 2022 by mcpherson123 Bronchitis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
originalfake Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) Everything I've read about these newer releases says that issue was fixed. I can't imagine they are going to do anything for those of us who have the 2012 release though. Edited May 19, 2022 by originalfake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed the issue was fixed but they should be replacing the discs and eating the ass of any customer who is still stuck with that atrocity of a mastering job.

faaip de oiad Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Damn these pressings didn't get this much attention a few years back when they were widely available. I bought MCIS twice back then with no problems(at half the price). I bought SD about $20. Lol how times have changed since the "demic".

thglif52 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Do you guys think I'm still good with my DeepDiscount order if they haven't already cancelled it? Trying to decide if I should jump on one of these other sites when they pop up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
