Gumbo72203 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 1 minute ago, Dave Grohl said: I was gonna do it but $33 plus the shipping cut, then another $4 for shipping to me for one LP is insane. I know it's a bit steep. I think the end result will be well-worth it though. They're not going to make any money on this release, they just wanted to make an impact and release a great product as their debut. But I feel you, I wish it were cheaper too.

I definitely get small pressings, band released, EU shipping, etc., but I can't justify $40 for one LP, or even one album. It's just not worth the money to me. If it were like $25 I'd be all for it. The music is great, the art is great, the vinyl is great, but not $40 special to me, ya know? Especially when there are so many other post rock bands to listen to, for cheaper.

Freki Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Not even an album. It's a 23-minute EP. I'll keep my eye on this band but this is an easy pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like this band is going to be out a good chunk of money pulling out all the stops on the first pressing of their first EP. A little too bold if you ask me. Shit, I mean, $2/minute? Is this a record or a sex line? Do a simple weight slip on recycled cardbaord, nice art but one color ink, maybe two, a simple variant or two, black and a clear, and ship it properly. That would get it down to probably $25 to my door. That I could manage. But $40 is crazy, especially when there are SO many post rock bands to listen to, that are better, and cheaper. I won't get into the irony of them putting out a release and not making any money on it. I mean, Bugatti put out a car that nets them a loss every time they sell one, but they're fucking Bugatti. Haha. They can take the hit. I can respect them not pulling an ETR and over changing for shit, but just put out a straight forward, simple pressing, makes a few bucks, and put it toward a full length.

The Vool Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 29€ plus shipping? Wtf? I don't really care about all the additional shit...i just want the music on vinyl. Probably going to pass...I rarely spend 29€ on 2xLPs! Not to speak of an EP... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad Heart Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Hey, Gumbo, those three records will cost more than your DJ table. ; ) Cough, invest in a new table, cough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Gumbo, if you're still coming to Akron for the ITTCT show, I have a Technics SL-D2 I just cleaned up and put a new AT95E cartridge on. It's yours for $150. It's a rock solid direct drive table and should last you forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like music half as much as the amount of exclamation points you use, you'll start investing. And $150 is a drop in the bucket. With the one caveat of replacing the needle every 500 hours of playtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumbo72203 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Ahhh I had a feeling this would happen. It was worth a shot! The band will have some of the standard edition ones, so make sure to find them on Facebook. I hate the price too, but I like the release.... so I'm going for it. It's the label also that is putting them out; the band didn't finance the release. 28.99 euro for the deluxe 22.99 for the standard. Blah. Thomas.... that sounds great. I'm not sure yet if i'll make it out there, but I'll contact you and hopefully we can maybe work something out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what you're saying is that you can't buy a good table cause records keep coming out, so you have to buy them? I just don't get the logic there. You buy all these great records, but then don't invest in a system to hear how great they sound? I just don't understand when people spend SO much money on records, invest so much money in records, and don't invest any money towards what they use to listen to them? Might as well stream music on your phone and play it through the phone speakers at that point. It's not sadistic to want someone to get the most out of a record. I think the only want for you to really understand what you're missing is to finally hear it. Like, if you shitty fast food your entire life, but then you finally eat authentic food it's like a whole new world. It's night and day. All I'm saying is why spend so much on records if you don't invest any money in what it takes to listen to them. I'm not telling you to go out and spend $5k, but slowly just hold off on a record or two every so often, and eventually you'll have a new set up.
