li0nel Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I hope they will offer some real international options, German websites usually offer very expensive international shipping rates - for example, I bought "While A Nation Sleeps" from the B9 webstore, record+shipping to Europe (Belgium) was cheaper than buying my copy from any German retailer. And we share a border with the germans... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They raised the prices and it now costs 8,60€ which is still not as expensive as USPS to Europe..I don't understand why most mailorders don't offer that option..! I'm pretty sure End Hits will supply at least an alternative retail for europe! They worked together with Sandbag and Impericon for their last release (Funeral For A Friend Reissue).

I'm pretty sure End Hits will supply at least an alternative retail for europe! They worked together with Sandbag and Impericon for their last release (Funeral For A Friend Reissue). That is the price for a small packet without tracking. I always send my records via letter mail (Großbrief) plus tracking (Einschreiben). That's the cheapest way to send records worldwide. And yes, you can send a big record mailer as a letter worldwide but not within Germany. Deutsche Post is crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know that though..Maybe mailorders don't know as well !? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
li0nel Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Let's say the record is 15$ in the US - shipping will be around 15$ > 30$ = 22€ (more or less) Germany : 18€ + 9€ = 27€ that's the point I was trying to make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just_Charlene Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 that price is ridiculous. Doesn't seem that much more expensive than what we usually pay in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoughtsky Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Just a little update: The exclusive (/300) colour at Greenhell seems to be Clear green (regarding to discogs http://www.discogs.com/Boysetsfire-The-Misery-Index-Notes-From-The-Plague-Years/release/5316910). I like clear coloured records but what I like even more are colours that fit the artwork perfectly. Would love a grey with white swirl / streaks variant for the ordinary version!

I don't think that this is an appropriate information since the user is referring to the GreenHell website and there is nothing mentioned except "col. green" vinyl.

I wasn't sure at first but he seems to be a reliable source looking at his other contributions on discogs. I hope there will be some official information soon..

putol Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 well the retail version of this will be black ericfitforbattle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoughtsky Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 well the retail version of this will be black oh ok..this kinda disappoints me. So far End Hits did quite nice jobs regarding the colors. Althought I'm just happy that this gets a vinylreissue at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I really want this but that price/shipping from germany is insane. while this record is amazing its far down my list of BSF albums. that Tomorrow album is by far their worst record they put out. I love how huge BSF is in Europe though, only wish they would have kinda got that support in the states so they could have stayed an active band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablod85 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 this album is way too long for a single LP... hoping it's actually a 2LP release but it doesn't seem like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoughtsky Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 I'm pretty sure that this will be available through Amazon US as well. It isn't available through Amazon Germany at the moment but there is still no official announcement from end hits or the band so let's just wait for this !

thoughtsky Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Ok so the info about green is wrong. Will update OP soon! They also wrote me that most of these are already gone, so if anyone wants the limited go ahead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericfitforbattle Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 from EndHits "The misery index: notes from the plague years" will be available on vinyl through the bands very own End Hits Records for the very first time. Limited to 1000 copies on 180g vinyl in Gold and Blue with extensive linernotes from bandmembers and close friends. So 700 blue, 300 gold.

throwgncpr Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 looks like gold may be sold out, and this may only be available in Europe. I was hoping to wait for a US pressing, but looks like that is questionable at this point. Anyone know the cheapest place is to order a copy shipped to the US?

thoughtsky Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Looks like there are legal issues regarding an US release but they are working on it. I will update the OP! Ordered the blue one as well. Blue wouldn't have been my first colour choice but they said this would be the first pressing so a second one is maybe planed !
