joshnotgood Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Hey Krust. This does not deserve it's own thread. It's bad enough how people use travis as a question/answer service in other threads, but now you've gone and opened up a whole thread (a stupid one at that) just to bug the fuck out of him. goddamn dude. My bad. Im new at collecting, and even newer to the board, so i cant tell you how much i appreciate you taking the time out of your day to rip on me and my post, which judging from what you wrote, doesnt really apply to you. Travis has been really cool on this board so far, so i thought if anyone was gonna get pissed or blow a gasket...i thought it would be him. So i extend my most sincere apologies. goddamn dude. Really, dude? Really? I don't care how new you are here. Send Travis a PM, man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefoxUSSR Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 You buy the first 250, I'll buy the other 250. Looks more like we might have to kick it up to a 750/750 split huh? The reason i thought it was possible was because finch was also on Drive Thru at the time of release, as was Nothing Gold By NFG (which the repress i thought was HT Exclusive). Finch got bumped over to MCA or Geffen for SHTS when Universal started restructuring labels. Personally, i dont think SHTS would sell either. Id buy it, but im one of the few who LOVED this cd, while everyone else got mad because they wanted a WIITB 2 instead. IMO, Musically its better, just not as catchy and hooky as the first, and thats what infuriated everyone I really want to hear Sunshine on record... it just needs some breathing room to shine. The CD honestly is very compressed/limited/mastered to be very loud. And I would totally pay a ridiculous amount to see this pressed. And What it is... totally needs a decent new pressing with title track (both versions preferably). I can't help but hear something is awry about the OG copy. I mean it's not bad... but it's not spectacular either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maintreqd Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 The reason i thought it was possible was because finch was also on Drive Thru at the time of release, as was Nothing Gold By NFG (which the repress i thought was HT Exclusive). Finch got bumped over to MCA or Geffen for SHTS when Universal started restructuring labels. WIITB did so well on drive thru that geffen quickly took it and rereleased it shortly after DTR originally released it. However at that time vinyl was not a large enough market and Geffen never pressed it. Since they sold it to Geffen, DTR could no longer press it either. I believe this is why it would be difficult to get it licensed for a repress and require so many copies for it to even be considered. background info: you may recall the two different versions of the album's title track. The first pressing of the album on DTR contained a demo version of "What It Is to Burn"—which was originally on the compilation album Welcome to the Family (2001)—instead of the re-recorded version that was on later Geffen pressings. the second (and poorer, in my opinion) version of the song was a completely rerecorded version and was chosen as the album's lead-off single for the geffen reissue.

deafmx Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 obviously all the fucks on eBay that pay a fortune for the original WIITB pressing want this and I'd say easily more than 1000 copies would sell, especially if it was pressed right and didn't have the fade out. and the demo version is so much damn better, the super slick redo makes me wish it didn't exist.

It's a message board...with threads in it...about records. Chill out stop speaking for Travis, there is no way threads like this upset him in any way.

maintreqd Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 and the demo version is so much damn better, the super slick redo makes me wish it didn't exist. the intro on the demo was so fucking legit. why geffen thought that changing that intro to violins that sound both out of tune and underwater is beyond me.

seamoney Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I don't know how much this thing typically goes for, but there is a copy at a store near me for $100. Cover had slight water damage it seemed, but no discoloration. I could get it if that sounds desirable to anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tittus Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I just picked a copy up off the bay for $109. That's about the average price give or take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikepapalone Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 it is true my friend. i read it in the last finch thread, and have now confirmed it with my own. reguardless, this is an amazing album, but what it is to burn would have made it that much better. a 7" of wiitb would be awesome.

firefoxUSSR Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I want a new pressing. Do a double 45rpm like RX Bandits. That'd be perfect. I always think the sound quality of the OG pressing is so-so. Or just make Say Hello to Sunshine and I won't care about WiitB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deafmx Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 it's already a 2xLP. if they actually included the full version of What It Is To Burn they'd have to do a 3xLP or something, wouldn't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanRees Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 theres roughly 5:40 of extra noise at the end of Ender, if they cut all that out they could fit WIITB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrnubnub Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 If it is true that Travis doesn't mind these threads I personally would love to see a DFA1979 US repress. Seriously. There's crazy demand out there, I bet you could press over 1000 and still sell out. Are they releasing anything anytime soon? they got back together like a year ago right?

mikepapalone Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 yeah that excess noise on ender was horrible. it needs to be trimmed for noise that is actually worth being on the album. as a side note though, travis has said he tried for this and wasnt making much headway.

There's plenty of room. Side B or C has way too much extra space. Also the transition from 'three simple words' to 'ender' is broken cuz you have to flip sides. Also, can someone set the record straight on pressing info? Apparently there are 3 different pressings, and only the first 1000 on trans red / trans green are legit?
