FWIW just because it's a pre-order doesn't mean it's an open pre-order. A pressing plant will want to know if you're planning on ordering 1000 or 10,000 albums in advance when you're getting a price quote. I'm only mentioning this because I was being hyperbolic earlier.

Would be interested to know what the number is capped at though. Heard a rumor it might be 1000 each (golld and silver) but cannot confirm that.

it's like, just when it couldn't become more of an obvious cash grab

who is the idiot that is in charge of the website (which looks and acts like shit)? the records should all be in one pile and then a choice to have an autograph. But like they're setting aside a certain number of records that are autograph-only?

IN WHAT WORLD

1000 each sounds legit, at $75 it’s a boatload of money. Good for him.

Doing a 6-8 months pre-order for a limited edition in numbers you already know is still an asshole move, IMO.

Who am I kidding this is the guy who thought XYU pit mix was of worthy inclusion to the MCIS box set instead of arms of sheep or tracer

things will change once the first couple releases get delivered and they're tired of fielding emails from crybabies

the 6-8 month lead time is the last on my list of things to bitch about

i don't have any means of playing vinyl today, but really have a fond place in my heart for adore and it's conceivable in the future i might buy a record player, so i was checking this out. all the non-autographed ones are sold out. i'd prefer to pay more for it to not be autographed. wth this is lame.

i wish there were a way to request that -- "im fine paying the higher price, so long as you just please don't autograph it". i'm sure he'd find a way to ban me from purchasing it and anything else in the future for that request though

billy is probably strapped for cash due to the pandemic (no touring, etc) so this is a quicky way to make 100k (2k records at $50 profit each - actually around 60 if you inklude how you're getting fucked on shipping)

In a perfect world after 2 or 3 of these they'll know the numbers they are dealing with and put the order in ahead of time

i have a soft spot for this release too. I think it was the first SP show I received in a tape trade.

6-8 months is hilarious too. custom made furniture from italy takes like 10 months with all the covid-related supply-chain issues, appliances take like 4 months even with the chip shortage, but this vinyl takes 6-8. ok brah

if you really want it i would buy it now because the 2nd hand market is going to be way more than 125 for a non-auto copy

do we really think he's in a spot where things are tight and an incremental $100k makes a real difference for him? he'd have to have squandered and mismanaged things terribly for years for that to be true right? those net worth estimators, which are not great but directionally decent in many cases puts him at $60m net worth..

you're probably right but I just assume he's used to a certain amount of fuck-around money and was unable to tour

on another note - i love how so many bands/artists were like "pwetty pwease buy my mp3s i don't know how i will survive this" a year ago and now are like "WE'RE ON TOUR PLAYING SHOWS LETS GO"

true, plus he's got two kids and a baby mama.. they're not gonna fund their own lives and he may not want to dip into his investments for that

unless.. what if her plastic "fur" coats brought in more than bill's work lately? he might literally murder her, watch out chloe, pump the brakes, it's not worth it!!

100k for just one release. There’s probably many more ahead. He said they were blown away by the “wow numbers” of the Japan preorder. And all it takes is a couple slaves on the back of zuzus packing orders.

From what I read she’s from Manhattan’s Upper East Side. I bet she has her own family money.

there's a field where you can "add a note to your order"

i'm so curious what will happen if i write, as politely as possible, that i don't want the autograph

i feel like it's a 90% change the order gets cancelled, what do you guys think?

Go for it. The best thing that could happen is he says no. Worst case, he agrees, and you have to actually buy this.

I clicked on the image for silver and gold each, brings up a page with a drop-down menu. Select non-autographed. It's still available

i did. the comment i inputted didn't carry over to the order confirmation, so who knows if they'll even get it. wouldn't surprise me if that part of the website doesn't actually work

really? it was definitely not available when i looked, and when i go now, gold is sold out autographed and unautographed, and silver is only available as autographed



for the record, like 90 seconds after buying, i already had buyer's remorse
