Cake Vinyl Boxset Coming Soon per RSD 7" sleeve

[BuzzersonKillwell]

I do feel sort of bad for people who payed a lot at retail on RSD. If you camped you only wasted your time. No matter what you walked away with camping out for records is pretty high on the list of time wasting activities, so everyone was implicitly fine with wasting that time from the start. 

 

But paying $50 extra at some shops discretion sucks.

aaand I missed it! dammit. if anyone ever wants to trade for this, I got some good stuff to part with. I'll get this one day!

Why not just return it to the shop? Assuming you have the reciept

And if u already opened it, wait till the cheaper one arrives from cake webstore and return the sealed one using your reciept. As long as they have a return policy I wouldn't feel like I'm screwing the local store.. In fact, they were screwing you by jacking the price up $50 over msrp based on the rsd hype for this release

[BuzzersonKillwell]

Uh. I didn't mean me.

Edit: I'm not actually sure if you meant me either.

ur post was confuing

Looks like they did take some over-orders and started to change the statuses.

 

From facebook "I was so happy to be able to get a box, now my order is stated as 'Hold - Backorder: Your order is on hold due to an item being placed on backorder'... Does it mean I'll get one ???? Help Please :s"

[axisrecapital]

I'd bet that Cake releases this as a standard black vinyl box set after all this debacle.  Supply and Demand.  The supply was smaller than the demand, so go press some more and make the fans happy.  I think it's the right thing to do!

My record store was not accepting any returns on RSD releases. Plus, I could not risk catching the email late, which I would have. I mean geez, can't we just bitch

Was meant as a general statement to those who ended up overpaying by $50 due to a shops upcharge

I agree, it was confusing haha. I'm typing on an iphone though so gimme a break

[JoToRoBo]

Let me also declare, once this box set reacheth my hands, that faithful morn, I would never return it from whence it came. Nor would I sell it.

Moral of the story?

 

You can't have your Cake and eat it too.

 

[cryo]

Here is my Cake story as we are all sitting around bullshitting about this release...

 

I stood outside for RSD wanting the Cake box set and was rejected.  No big deal, I will just buy it on eBay.  There has been a lot of noise about jacked up eBay prices, but honestly I could care less.  I want this box and an extra couple hundred dollars means nothing in the long run.  I bought it for $315 and it should arrive on Monday.

 

Thanks to Steve Hoffman forum I saw a link to Vinyl Collective and immediately bought another box set from connexion.  I bought another because I wanted to increase my chances of a test pressing and that would increase my chances at a very reasonable price.  I plan to get both box sets and sell one on eBay, I am sure the price will still be decent by then, maybe $220 to $250.

 

The question is how to determine which one has a test pressing without removing the shrink wrap (which would decrease the value).  I will do this by weighing them and keeping the heavier one.  If the keeper doesn't have a test pressing then no harm done and I have lowered the effective price I paid off of eBay.

It's been awhile since anyone mentioned how this thing sounds, but I'm listening to Fashion Nugget right now and it sounds HUGE!

Best first post.

[searos]

I could care less about a test Press. Would be cool but I am just glad I checked the thread went to 3 stores on RSD and most stuff I wanted was gone.

[dantheriver]

I could care less about a test Press.

So you really want one?

  EUREKA!  Please post the weights.

I would rather have the colored version that matches the box set than an out of place test pressing, but thats me personally.

The test pressing boxes have 9 total LPs -- all of the originals and an extra (my source is a post on Reddit from a guy who got a test pressing).

[ChrisWithanF]

Ahh ok, that makes more sense then lol.  I was thinking that they would replace your copy with a test pressing.  So does this mean there is a little extra space in the box for a future album(s)?

[necroking]

I personally think the box is kinda tight now. Wouldn't want to shove extra records in

Well, I would say no. I don't know how they fit a ninth LP because the eight are already perfectly snug. But, I haven't actually tried to put another record in it so I don't actually know, ha.

Then just open up whichever one seems heavier, Sherlock.

[BigSeth]

Bummer. Totally missed this. I was at family day seeing my sister for the first time in 3 months at boot camp. No regrets at all, but if somehow there's a boxset floating around somewhere that someone wants to let go I would certainly be interested.

I have read multiple times that the hinging cover of the box set falls apart easily.  I plan to just take the 8 LPs out and store them on the shelf as if I bought them individually.
