Do any of you actually listen to the music you buy?

I hope he's alright.

[DJ Quik]

listen to vinyl?

 

 

LOL

[TFP]

You know, I kind of look at records like this: [3 Times the Art] The Music, the physical cover art and (give it a thought) sometimes the way a variant LP can turn out to compliment the cover.

I mean, come on, EVERY RECORD to be a mass 5,000 black copies (boring)

[youmightbewrong]

I wonder if stamp collectors have these arguments in their forums. Hmmm

[Dusted_By_Space]

Where is who cares when you need em?

[Guest]

OP: winner

VC: mad

OP is right, and the typical VC replies/poor attempts at wit prove it.

[Guest]

More proof: Glassjaw coloring book thread, Fuzz LP thread, etc.

[David The Gnome]

I think OP just missed too many pre orders. 

[travis]

Travis it's all your fault, you and your super rare HT varients!!!!

 

I hope it is

[Derek™]

I think OP just missed too many pre orders.

Lurked all six pages to basically say this. OP sounds like a butthurt white-trash who's got a rivalry with variants. Did he lose a coveted eBay auction? Sleep on too many pre-orders? The world needs to know the origins of his twattery.

Also, I dont understand why people come on here if they dont like it. Its pretty easy to avoid.

Why come here just to complain and talk shit?

[eight1echo]

what is listen

[Guest rotatethissonicboo]

Smart people buy the good quality vinyl.  Nothing to do with colors or variants.

 

Most of VC communtity wouldnt understand this.

 

I'm with OP.

[jase]

I wonder if stamp collectors have these arguments in their forums. Hmmm

pffft poseurs don't even lick the damn things

[Guest crazybeats]

Finally some support.

[batman]

people buy what they like. 

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

That means you open it up and you play it and are able to hear it. I was looking at some albums today, not that long till they're out and others only just out in the last few months and not only do I see terms like sold out and limited and varients but I see people doing trades. Then I browse the very few music forums I bother with including this one and I see these same terms and what I did was I looked at these albums that have sold out in just a few months and also to the ones coming out and it's the same kind of thing. This one will be numbered, this one will be red but this other black varient is only 1000 copies.

 

 

Really? Is that what music is now? That to me means it's shit. How can any company or label with a straight face say they care about the music they are releasing when they stick a number on each one, different colours on each one and then places like this talk about it so you end up with all these people buying the damn things just for the sake of it having it as a collectable. Don't get me wrong, if i owned a label, i'd take every penny I could get out of all you people. You deserve to have your money taken out of your pocket, you deserve to be ripped off, you deserve to pay $30 for a piece of cheap PVC plastic stuck inside some cheap cardboard cover. If i was them I'd do the same damned thing because obviously hand written numbers and colours and limited pressings means more than buying something because you want it and it's going to give you pleasure to listen to it.

 

 

I applaud the bootleggers. I wish they would do more. Paragon done some great bootlegs over the last few years with regards to 12" singles. What we need is more bootleggers to start pressing albums and sell them fast and cheap. Let's face it, major labels are just gonna stick the same CD master onto the record anyway, it's not like they're gonna spend any time making sure Katy Perry sounds good on vinyl so I think we need to go back to the 1990s where the white label was king and you all know that anyway. You know the albums you buy from Amazon are just as good as any bootleg, you fool yourselves into believing you're getting something better but it really isn't. I'd rather that than be told there is only 1000 copies of an album being pressed but oh no....that's just a colour, if you want it on black vinyl well, you're screwed cause that sold out in so many hours but don't worry you can still buy some on white vinyl from this cowboy website in America and pay lots of shipping on top of the premium price because remember it's limited!  We could easily press 5 or 6000 of them but we'd rather fuck you up the ass and get what we can while we can. What an insult to me and my fellow music fans.

 

 

It's all money money money. Anytime i read the word varient or hand numbered or limited I will think of the word money because that's all it is about. And don't any of you lot think I'm on your side, I told you people not that long ago it was your fault for killing off the 7" and 12" single and now through sheer greed and ignorance you're starting to kill off the album LP. Shame on all of you that buy into all this hype and talk and throw your money at these money hungry labels. And you can badmouth me all you want like you tried to do last time because I mentioned I liked popular music and this place thrives on guitar driven music and lets sit barefoot singing a song about love and peace and the thing is, at least with my music, i don't need a million options, I don't need money taken from my bank account months in advance because some geek who has more money than sense decides to dive in and buy it for the sake of making a quick buck rather than giving it to me, someone who actually wants it for the right reasons. When Eminem's MMLP2 gets released in a few weeks, and it will be on vinyl in the UK, no word on the US yet. At least I know i can not only buy it on release but I can buy it at Christmas, next year even, maybe next Christmas or Christmas 2015 because real labels don't just pick a number out of thin air, they keep pressing them and keep making them available to suit the demand. It's like the 100,000 copies of Justin Timberlake's 20/20 album. Those copies will last years. That's how it should be done. Infact I don't even want any replies in this thread, I just had to get that off my chest and let you people know what I think and what I think is right, I'm always right so don't try and argue back at me because you know I'm right and I don't care what the excuses are, It's BS and it ruins the very thought of buying a musical album. Music was never about that and it should never be about that.No one should ever have to feel pressured about buying an album because oh no if you don't buy it now then you can't later. All this stuff about colours is rubbish too, no coloured vinyl was ever superior to black virgin vinyl. Hand numbering? That's fine as long as you keep making them, you don't just stop after a certain number, if the demand is there then you keep going, you don't force people onto Ebay or Discogs. Or you do what the big labels do, you press plenty and you do it on black vinyl and you ship it everywhere you can.

 

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

Well come on then. You're in Slovenia, you must need to import a large percentage of your music so you obviously don't mind paying the high postage costs to your country on top of the already inflated price for the record. So tell me come on, come and tell daddy all about your hand numbered vinyl and your coloured vinyl and how they make you happy in a way that a good looking woman in your bed can't. Come and share the info.

 

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

This may help

 

 

[Guest rotatethissonicboo]

LOL @ idiots who buy CD mastered shit vinyl because it's pink or something.  OH NO 1000 ONLY PRESSED!  Morons.

[3arl]

Also, I dont understand why people come on here if they dont like it. Its pretty easy to avoid.

Why come here just to complain and talk shit?

WHAT?!?!?!?! You mean I'm able to not post on forums about things that I don't like or piss me off? Looks like I can get off the NAMBLA boards now.

[sjb2k1]

Do any of you actually listen to the music you buy?

 

yes.  end thread.

[Guest rotatethissonicboo]

Smart vinyl people care about SOUND QUALITY. 

 

VC community wouldn't understand.  Majority here are morons who like colors. LOL.
