timsimmons Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 More casual listeners would be more willing to buy a complete set rather than 12" and 10"s piecemeal. Plus its easier to market a big box vs a dozen singles. Probably better margins on a 5LP box set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I guess I'm coming from the perspective of someone who already owns it all, haha. Yeah it's more convenient for playing, but only marginally so since you're only going from 7LPs to 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 Yeah, I got all the singles, but I'd buy a box too. But its fine if they don't do it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly the best part of it would be a box, assuming that's how they do it. I hate the euro-style LPs singles with no spine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Its' up at some other nl stores as well. But cheapest shipping I have seen so far to the states is 27 euros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 Fuck it, I never bought the new version with all the tracks. Clear is one of my favorite variants and this is one of my favorite albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the black version with all tracks and it really makes a difference to the overall flow of the album, the missing tracks really stood out on the previous pressing.

I’ve specifically chatted with friends about a theoretical clear press of Untrue and how I’d probably drop exorbitant amounts of money on one, especially if it was limited. I had to put my money where my mouth was, I guess. /500 is such a small run for an album of this status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No luck needed, my guy. Black copies are readily available almost everywhere for dirt cheap. Check out his bandcamp – I last saw them there at a price that seemed too good to be true. timsimmons and OneThreeOneTwo 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Shutup Derek. I've got 2 black copies you can buy for high prices bc v. rare and hard to find. You want 9 tracks or 13? In other news, I placed an order for this against my better judgment. Do I need 3 copies of this? Not even a little bit. But, on the offchance that these orders get fulfilled, and other variants don't pop up elsewhere... I'd kick myself if I could never get it aftermarket.

wellnow Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I ordered a copy but the invoice is for “0” copies and they didn’t charge me for the record, just for shipping. Bizarre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rooks Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Yeah it looks like these are all Netherlands exclusives and none of them are listed for less than $50 (which would have been about cost when conversion rates were more favorable towards USD).

Edit: Nevermind, forgot about Madvillainy, but that was essentially just through Stones Throw outside the EU. So maybe Hyperdub will sell a few of the copies directly.

fish Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I just wish some UK retailers would get it so that it would be under $50. PS i hate paying VAT on items shipped to the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 That Madvillainy was released stateside for < $50 PPD I'm pretty sure. But yeah. If a significantly cheaper option surfaces, it shouldn't be hard to cancel - these don't ship until mid August. For an extra $10 though I'd rather just have a copy locked in than sweat a mad dash on a Reddit link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madvillainy was also /1000 Limited to 1000 copies worldwide: • Stones Throw (200 copies) • Concerto (400 copies) • Rough Trade (400 copies) Wonder if Untrue is really /500 or /500 for Concerto only. The listing does say numbered on the hype sticker. The other 3 all say /500 Concerto for the entire pressing, so, I wonder if it was just a licensing agreement for Madvillainy or what.
