axisrecapital Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 If I'm right, you can still get Live at The Crystal Ballroom, which if you are a Cake fan, is awesome and the set list is like a greatest hits record. That is supposed to be "limited", so at least all the peeps that got nothing can still get something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samehardluckx Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I personally think it's cool they listened to their fans and decided to press more. I'm just happy to have one coming my way, regardless of how limited it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucipher Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Hey all! So, unfortunately I missed out on RSD and on their website, but I decided to buy a copy off ebay because Cake is in my top 3 bands of all time, and I wanted this badly. Felt a little guilty about overpaying (paid $250 shipped), but it's only money and I really wanted this. Well, just got it today, opened the box, and there is a ninth album in mine! Think this is a legit signed copy of Showroom? I am playing it now, and it is indeed Showroom of Compassion. Thoughts?

chasingbreakers Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Sigh...check out this reply to FB post announcing more will be available... "as a collector, if you purchased this believing it was an edition limited to 900 copies, isn't this a bit misleading?" Unreal. Not like you'd actually want the set because of the music, regardless of how many were pressed. If Cake never said "limited to 900", these represses wouldn't (or at least shouldn't) be a thing. It's the fact that folks made decisions based on that information (camping in line, overpaying, buying a set they may have been on the fence about due to scarcity), and are seeing it all walked back less than a week later. It's great that Cake is accommodating their fans, but people are entitled to be annoyed given that this was advertised as a RSD-exclusive, limited production run.

cjhelmreich Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Cake got in touch with me about my issue with Motorcade and are making it right. Thanks Cake. Also, even though I waited in line for 8 hours (because it was limited to 900), I thought they were going to release more to the fans (based on the language of their February stay tuned email) but still waited in line to be sure I got one. Hence standing in line over night. I don't care that I won't have 1/900 or 1/1800 and will likely have 1/5,000 -- I just will be happy to have these remastered albums on vinyl. (That was the only goal originally - get the albums on vinyl.) I'd never sell them, so the limited run is immaterial to me.

I feel better since I lucked out and get a test pressing, but quite honestly I have to agree. Because I thought it was a limited run, I tried to get a "decent" deal on ebay...now, if I had known, I could have gotten it for half of what I paid. Oh well...

Shapps Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I was able to get my set yesterday thanks to the board here and the advance notice on the link. I am on the cake mailing list but my email about the sale hit my inbox a couple hours after the set sold out. I am glad to see that this is getting a repress for those that missed out. I understand we all collect records for different reasons and for some the exclusivity is a draw. For me I just like having the music in a format I get the most joy playing it from. Before these box sets I could not get some of these albums without paying insane prices for them. I am happy that everyone has a chance to own them now if they want to listen to them. I am all for exclusive colorways or other things that cater to the collectors. It does bother me though to see releases of music in intentionally limited forms when there is no other way to get that music. It's really frustrating when I want to get something because I just want to hear it and can't because they made it something for collectors and only pressed 1000 of them but 10x's that many people want to buy it.

That is supposed to be "limited", so at least all the peeps that got nothing can still get something! Why have I seen multiple people call it the Crystal Ballroom? Crystal Ballroom is in Portland, not Sacramento. That's the Crystal Palace... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfrancese5 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I think it's great there going to listen to the fans and repress it. does it suck for those of us who over paid? yeah it does.. but that's just the way things go.. I am more glad everyone will be able to get a copy that wants one... btw these sound great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackholexxxx Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I do not personally care either way, but if they want to keep the RSD crowd happy they could repress on black or different colors. BuzzersonKillwell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a fair point... I mean if all the stuff that comes out on RSD is going to get repressed then doesn't that take away from part of what makes RSD so special?

brucipher Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I do not personally care either way, but if they want to keep the RSD crowd happy they could repress on black or different colors. I think this would be the fair thing to do. Re-press on black vinyl. Still get the set on vinyl, but makes the RSD set a little more special. If I had not bought my copy on ebay I would have bought the black vinyl set... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
