agd Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Grabbed the 1983 7". Freaking Melvins. I'm always torn about the new stuff they put out. It's generally great sounding, but all the bells and whistles that they add really make the cost almost unbearable. Will probably pick up more stuff when I see them later this month. Thanks for the heads up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothingnatural Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I have a bad feeling that they didn't set a quantity limit on these and they're being oversold. Only a small amount was supposed to be for sale tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Didn't they post that the few posted on sale were just for mail order. And other variants at show only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that the mail order versions were supposed to be sold in small batches but I don't know if that was 100% true. Aside from Suggar Daddys Splits, this is the longest a Melvins drop has lasted in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jared Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Lately, I haven't been feeling the need to have all of this bands stuff. It's almost as if I changed my mind over night. Either way, if they have some when they swing through Austin in a couple months, I'll surely being trying to pick something up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattycakes Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 25 bucks for a 7". Fuck this. jkelly and 3fingersdown 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortenso Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Feel like a fucking idiot for getting up at 3 in the morning to spend $150 on these four things. Know I'll eventually spend $225 on what is essentially a nine part covers album too. Bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadbluehawk Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Missed it. Hopefully more will pop up later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shifres Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Hope I'll get some of those later as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevbayer Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 they may pop up again after things get sorted out, but it will be doubtful. I doubt they over sold, that hasnt happened in the past and Haze hates dealing with shit like that. I do believe that this was the big sale though and not a little here , little there. The bash 10" lasted longer but i believe that it was a majority of the online sale that happened now, and this wont be on tour...except for the Bash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3fingersdown Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 25 bucks for a 7". Fuck this. If you add it up it's only $100 per 8 songs. Yeah, fuck this. jkelly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevbayer Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 If you add it up it's only $100 per 8 songs. Yeah, fuck this. if you got everything it was 13 songs and 130 bucks, but each release is limited to 500, only place where 11 of the songs will appear on vinyl, with original silk screened handmade artwork.....complain if you want, you can still get the songs for free from youtube nothingnatural 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 They are clearly becoming millionaires off this right i get it, man, i really do. i've paid stupid amounts for vinyl from bands i love. i like the Melvins and would buy these if there were any way that i could justify it. i just can't. i got bills to pay, i've got responsibilities apart from vinyl. God bless Buzzo and God bless you, but this is stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apirk Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Why is it stupid you just said you'be paid stupid amount for bands you love, how is this any different for people who love the Melvins. I love the Melvins and have little issue paying this amount for what I purchased, I didn't buy the 10" because I didn't think it was worth it. Honestly outside of the music I love the art that goes along with these releases so I don't mind paying more to support the Band and the artists.

Guest realtalk Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 It's the simple "don't like it, don't buy it" concept. Just because you like this band doesn't mean the prices aren't insane and people can't comment on how glaringly high the cost is for a 7" or 10". Math is fun: 700 copies 7" @ $25 each = $17,500 700 copies 10" @ $50 each = $35,000 When they sell all copies of all 3 sets of 7" (the ones released so far) and all 10" records... GRAND TOTAL $87,500 But yes, Melvins have certainly put in their time, can do what they want and will inevitably sell records, no matter the cost. Long live. 3fingersdown 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3fingersdown Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I have an expendable income, love the Melvins and still can't justify a 7" inch with 2 songs costing $30ppd. Godspeed to those that do, it just pisses me (us) off that they bend people over this much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
