MikeyP Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Is this still at 2,000 copies or have additional copies been pressed? Seems weird that this went back up yesterday and still doesn't show sold out on Hot Topic's website. Over the past few weeks these would only appear for a few hours (tops) before showing sold out. It hasnt been repressed. 2,000 is a huge amount of records. It took Newbury 6 months to sell out of 1500 of the ST Sublime record. To put it in perspective.

To be fair, the S/T was in press on black. 40oz hasn't had a press in five years, and that was another HT exclusive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To put it in perspective. I can see what you mean here, but I always attributed that particular case to the absurd price Newbury was selling those S/T's at. Anyway, I hope I'm just overreacting but it seems a little weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikePortly Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I was just gonna say, Newbury's prices are way too high and 40 Oz. is a way better album too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aflycon Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 40oz is better (I would say this is subjective but it's really not), but less popular among Sublime fans/casual listeners who would shop at Newbury. The reason 40oz sold so quickly is because of its profit potential. I would wager that the majority of orders for this press were for multiple copies for resale, followed then by dedicated fans like (most of) us who wanted a copy for personal listening, followed then by casual fans of Sublime or those Hot Topic shoppers who hang splatter records on their walls, or the demographic I would call the Crosleys. The self-titled is widely available for cheap, so even the limited pressings do not command the same prices that 40oz does among collectors. Casual fans of Sublime are not likely to buy 40oz, especially not at inflated flipper prices. This is true even considering Newbury's terrible pricing model. These are the reasons that Newbury took so long to sell their copies of Sublime while 40oz sold so quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikePortly Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 The Crosleys, lol, I love it! Spot on there. And this makes me think about Robbin' the Hood now and how a lot of casual/younger Sublime fans will probably not know about it or hear it and be turned off by it.

DarcX Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 There's two copies of this in my local HT store. I'm still debating whether or not I want one of them, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarcX Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 It's just... $30 after tax is a lot, and I just dropped that much on Lydia's debut. Money sucks. What's weird is that they must've gotten an extra one? 'Cause there was definitely two at first, and someone earlier in the thread said they got one from the same store I'm talking about. I checked earlier this week and definitely saw two copies. I guess there aren't many people in Metairie who like Sublime and collect vinyl and don't mind walking into Hot Topic.

MikeyP Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 To be fair, the S/T was in press on black. 40oz hasn't had a press in five years, and that was another HT exclusive.The Newbury pressing was a limited release on white, 1500 copies. Released in February and sold out in August. The black ST was pressed in 2008 and took 7 years to sell out. It was repressed last month.I can see what you mean here, but I always attributed that particular case to the absurd price Newbury was selling those S/T's at. Anyway, I hope I'm just overreacting but it seems a little weird. Truth. It was very high priced. The ST is a much better product as far as records go though. Pressed at RTI, and mastered by Kevin Gray, one of the best vinyl engineers in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this album owns. It is expensive, but if you're even debating buying it, grab it. It will only go up in price once it's oop. I got lucky buying this cheap. Hot Topic employees don't always read their coupon details, hahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psus2h Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 My guess on the extra 40's is that Universal had a bit of an over run and they got to HT later than the initial shipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given there're still *two* copies at my store, I'll be willing to press my luck and buy it when my funds allow. It would be great to hear this thing on wax, and the color is amazing.

I'd sell mine for a black press if they used the cover art from the OG. That was my only complaint with the new one. Dominic_ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"hanging out and re-mastering the sublime catalog for vinyl release, from the original analog tapes. at bernie grundman mastering, hollywood ca." I imagine these will be the best copies to own once they're available. cambionic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very excited for this but as mentioned how can the S/T be improved on, the current press sounds great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
