vinyljunkie Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 the prices were skyrocketing? lots of distros still had/have the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbrns7 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 they'll never be worth a substantial amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattisr1984 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 i think youre missing the point. its better to have the record in press at a decent price than paying even $30. plus, i havent seen any distros in awhile carrying the gatefold presses.

kurtz Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 they'll never be worth a substantial amount. who cares? It's a great record. Buy it to listen to it, not as an investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelifeline Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 joe im glad you did this instead of letting the prices on the og presses skyrocket. Thanks for the compliment! If record should be in print from people still buying it, I like to keep in print unless it was meant to be a limited run. While I love making different versions and collect records myself, it's not always necessary to keep changing the color of the vinyl to keep selling to the same people over and over again. While it might help the label it's just always necessary. However a lot of my records do have a # of colors because it's just too much fun. Witness there was 2 colors made by the pressing plant in the 1st press I didn't even ask for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinyljunkie Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 i still have some blue gatefold copies in my distro. and i know of quite a few places that have it as well. most people just check the same 3 or 4 large distros. i think its great that its repressed as well, cause that album rules, and people should always be able to get it on vinyl. i guess i just hadnt noticed the going price was up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinyljunkie Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 haha. nothing like a messageboard to jump sales. i posted that 6 minutes ago, and i sold the last 3 copies i had. funny enough since, after selling quite a few a while ago, i had those 3 sit for probably 7 months.

I'm from the Netherlands and Reflections Records did this release here. One of my favorite bands. So when i found out the lifeline press was gatefold i bougt one. I'm a big artfan and gatefold means more art. so to bad this isn't gatefolded. but if you don't already have it: buy it! Great album! and the Reflections release was this week on ebay and went for over $50... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The record is still going to happen. Just a matter of when, but it will be a 12" EP with the s/t on Side A and Side B will be the brown bag demo.
