crapforgenius Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 The original was pressed on green too....Sometimes it popped up on ebay.... Never realized that. Well, there goes that explanation. Green is pretty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickrunner18 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 if this was getting shipped next week (or in any reasonable amount of time that's not two months from now) I would've already bought it but I'm still on the fence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelso330 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I'm betting green is gonna sell out end of the week!! Black a little longer Got green! If this were Downward is Heavenward I'd be ordering both variants! Just isn't as good as that albjm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindovermatter Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I want this so badly...but I have boycotted SRC for multiple reasons, and the price gouging on this hurts my feelings. I just need to stop creeping on this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathroommonkey Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 looks like green is gone. i'm not familiar enough with SRC to know if it will pop back up later but right now it's gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 They posted on facebook a few hours ago that green was down to about 45 units so its probably straight up gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothingnatural Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Fucking A! 500 copies of a hum records sell through in less than a full day (not counting how many black copies have sold). That puts a smile on my face. jacktownjim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futre Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 The answer to my inquiry: we will most likely press another non limited color in 1-2 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I figured based on the performance of this pre-order they'd have to want to give it another go. I wonder what color it would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothingnatural Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Hopefully just standard weight black vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Or translucent green like the first press? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacktownjim Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 If they wanted to differentiate from older presses, they could always just do white or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tape Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 colors that are not black, green or white make no sense and should not be done. white would be pretty slick actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derkwithano Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Fucking A! 500 copies of a hum records sell through in less than a full day (not counting how many black copies have sold). That puts a smile on my face. Not me. It only supports the inflated prices, and they'll just keep raising them. If they can sell out in a few days for stupid prices...they're technically justified in their actions mindovermatter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamubro Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Holy balls! I figured this would sell fast, but not as quick as a day! And I'm still surprised with how the Green went first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crapforgenius Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Maybe it's just me but I don't think $21.99 was that bad for this - a few dollars more than your average new LP, sure, but given the archival work that (theoretically) went into it and limited run nature, I was expecting to pay a little more. Friday Records post-'Head' Monkees reissues for $29.99+ A piece? That's nonsense. ($30 for fucking 'Pool It!'? Seriously? And I say that as a fan of the record.) 'Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness'? That was price gouging. This? Making sure you can recoup to bring more records down the line, and if a few extra bucks is going to help assure more releases, I'll go for it.

Willow_Tree_Records Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Yeah, I didn't think the price tag was bad on this at all compared to some reissues. It came out to like $24 shipped with the preorder shipping. Plus you could never buy an og for close to that. Super pumped to be able to spin this.

firefoxUSSR Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Sold my OG black copy to make ends meet last month. Makes me happy I can finally have one on green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blugel Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 maybe they'll reissue other Hum albums now? surely the demand is there for more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papashawn Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I was hoping these would be pressed. I wanted to do this and Downward is Heavenward but if SRC is doing them, that works for me. Got a green copy of Astronaut, hoping they do blue for Downward in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickrunner18 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 glad I caved on the green before it sold out. knew I would Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacktownjim Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 If Downward ends up getting repressed as well I'd be a very happy man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never see how the original press price plays into the repress price. Who cares if it is more expensive on ebay? That doesn't mean you can overcharge for a new pressing. throwgncpr and crapforgenius 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
