youngwonton Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 So all evidence online suggests this record is fairly rare, with only one available on Amazon for $117 (US), one on Amazon UK for about $82, and I can't find it on any independent retailers. I did, however, find an incredibly cheap copy of it on Amazon JP for about $35 after shipping, but I noticed that it has a different EAN as well as the picture being of the CD artwork and not the artwork that is featured on the original pressing vinyl. So I'm guessing what I bought was an import, which I'm fine with, it saves me money, but I'm relatively new to vinyl collecting, so can anyone who's better at this stuff shed some light? dan_whitaker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ā I am going to guess that it's a bootleg copy. The only vinyl versions I know of have different artwork than the CD. Had no idea this was so rare. Glad I have my original .

rynflnnry Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Wait, this is rare now? This. I bought my copy of this through the band before they broke up, do they really go for this much now? That's insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derekā¢ Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 And I purchased mine maybe a year or two. There were abundant amounts for under $20 through Discogs, eBay, and Amazon sellers. I specifically remember sifting through dozens of options to see which would save me an extra dollar or two. Really makes me wonder if this is just a quick lull.

Had no idea this was so rare. Glad I have my original . I'd guess it's a mis-categorized CD, or a vinyl copy that Amazon assigned the standard art to. It's not a stretch. Ā Band broke up, they were on Universal Music, probably wasn't a huge seller, I'd be surprised if this doesn't stay out of print. Get it while you can.

I sincerely hope i didn't just spend 35 dollars on a CD. Here's what I bought. http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B004ZEKCU0/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It's not too late for me to cancel, don't know whether I should or not.Ā When you search the EAN on BookButler this is what comes up.Ā http://www.bookbutler.com/music/compare?isbn=5051083058353 Says it's a vinyl. I dunno. And Discogs does list two separate LP entries for the album, but they're not that reliable, and it lists releases in US and UK, not Japan. And the EAN on BookButler for the version with the correct artwork, just for comparison's sake.Ā http://www.bookbutler.com/music/compare?isbn=0656605787510 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngwonton Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 Wait, this is rare now? Well I'd imagine there was only one pressing and that it was relatively small, they were never that big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aellerton Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 This was up on the SC Distribution site forever, well at least for the past year cause I remember checking it a couple times. I ordered it with the recent Volcano Choir pre-order, but I just checked and its gone now - glad I grabbed a copy when I did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plasma36 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 If it arrives and it's a CD, contact the seller and tell them you ordered a vinyl copy but a CD arrived, and ask if they have a vinyl copy to send instead. This sort of thing happens all the time, and while it's a bummer the worst thing that'll happen to you is you'll have to go to the post office to return it.

MyEnemy Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Got a second copy for $30 last year or in 2018, canāt remember. Missing this band live was one of the biggest bonehead moves on my part, had tickets and everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ā Whereād you luck out with a copy in case homeboy is feeling diligent? Ā Huge bummer that this album isnāt likely to get reissued anytime soon, and then more tragic that if it did, so few people would be willing to give it a chance. Ā I think this is the definitive ālol wtf are these vocals?ā band ā such a big roadblock for most folks when the music itself is so solid.
