albert Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I just picked up a brand new copy of one of these at lunchbox records near me and I cant figure this out.. I know this is a tour only vinyl so how could it be sold new at a record store new?Also I think there might have been a thread on this or the red/gold splatter but I cant find it so sorry. I am wondering do any of you know how many of these were pressed? And by the way I only paid 18.99 for it. And I can see it went for a lot more on popsike: http://www.popsike.com/Mastodon-Crack-The-Skye-Green-Tour-Edition-Baroness-Isis-High-On-Fire/250924214335.html http://www.popsike.com/Mastodon-Crack-The-Skye-Lp-Vinyl-2010-Tour-LTD-Green/220598005656.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c8a9l Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Re released them in mass, killed the price. You cant get $30 for them now. I think their was 700ish pressed of the green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oojavaguru Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Here is the deal with this, and you can follow the link here: http://www.recordstoreday.com/CustomPage/1199 From the site: "MASTODON CRACK THE SKYE COLORED TOUR VINYL When Mastodon was out on tour, their merch table included red colored vinyl and green colored vinyl editions of CRACK THE SKYE. There were 1500 made. Now, it’s been discovered that 1000 of those 1500 never made it to the band, and they’d like to offer them up to indie stores. (These will be promoted as a METAL CLUB EXCLUSIVE on the Metal Club site (www.mymetalclub.com) and Facebook page. Street date is pretty much now, and you can order them now through WEA/ADA, Alliance or Super D." So that is why you've seen a surge of these in your local indie music store, because 1000 were never put on tour. Hope that information helps and finally clears up the confusion.

kmart Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I need the red splat.....will trade a green for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zick Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I'd like to know how much of the red there are since that one seems to be a lot more rare than the green. I have the red one and I've only seen maybe 10 other people with that variant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
