Hmm, when I play the record there aren't any live tracks on it. Derek™ and erasedtapes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frutiger75 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) on another note entirely, TTL's "instructions" on each pre-order page states the buyer to place a separate order for the item and not to combine it with any other in-stock item. by the same token, on their main pre-order page, it states (in underlined fashion) that if one places an order consisting of both a pre-order item AND and in-stock item, "we will ship your in-stock items first." of course, i (negligently?) placed an order for a copy of this plus an existing, in-stock item. has anyone ever encountered an issue w/ this? pigs get fat; hogs get slaughtered? lol Edited May 23, 2019 by frutiger75 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't hurt that I think those first three albums are unfuckwithable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldKentuckyShark Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 So why is everybody flipping out about this pressing? I mean I know it's probably their best record, looks cool, and the first two color pressings didn't sound great or were horrible. But I feel like if somebody like Newbury Comics did a pressing like this, it would be available a year after release much like the first color pressing of Teen Dream that they did.

They were still really damn good but I guess I just prefer some bands/genres in the comfort of my own ____. 2 minutes ago, OldKentuckyShark said: So why is everybody flipping out about this pressing?

I'm guessing just because it's a color variant of Bloom and the other ones (white and GITD, right?) aren't super cheap. But good point on how the specific retailer of a variant or item can also add to the lure of it. Like in the world of soundtracks, just slap "limited Mondo" on anything and it's lusted after 5x more. I still think this would have sold out pretty quickly on Newbury though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Biggest separator here is that TTL are asking $22 for this where NC would list it for $37. erasedtapes, frutiger75, DecayToDeath and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I knew that using NC would bring cost into the issue. Maybe instead I should have used Vinyl Me Please or something else along those lines. That wouldn't be a one day seller.

frutiger75 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 FYI: just got an e-mail from TTL. the pre-orders that were made successfully will be shipped out " early next week." the remaining 220-ish will go live on may 31, unless "we decide to put a few up for sale before then", which is apparently what happened this morning. this rigmarole (esp. considering the strict limit) is very NC-ish.

I just remember the only color pressing of Teen Dream being around for months on NC and it wasn’t $37 and was a double LP unlike this one. But it not trying to hate on it.

Hope we all get copies I also remember teen dream being around on NC for a long time. Didn't pull the trigger bcos the color was hideous. I would rather have black vinyl than the purple that they called. p.s. Bloom is 2LP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be imagining this, too, but I recall that release being pretty steeply priced... at least when it first dropped. Newbury aren’t located in California, but they still fuck hard with state tax and shipping that’s a bit higher than it should be. I imagine they do this for all states, too, which is a bit of a deterrent and why so many of their limited variants tend to stick around for so long. Or such is my guess, anyway.

erasedtapes Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Really tired of them randomly throwing up copies whenever they feel like it. Is this normal with TTL? I'm also wondering why they say they'll send out in-stock emails but don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
