10 copies by way of the famed Vintage Vinyl

That's nice.
So is colored vinyl. Now add artwork that doesn't suck and I'm happy (assuming the tracks are worth a release.)

I am starting to think SP management is some how the reason behind shitty sp info and not so much Billy. There was a lot of info in that post. Hmmmm.

you're the type of customer they don't want, clearly

slunken · 04-20-2014, 12:06 AM

Earl grey is too common. Not high end enough. Spend some real money.

Due to high demand we are now offering a second pressing of another 250 copies, which will also be signed by WPC

First pressing sold out in under a minute.

Implosion · 05-15-2014, 02:19 PM

It's basically people paying $60 for a Billy autograph.

pavementtune · 05-15-2014, 02:25 PM

I think it would sell pretty much the same without it. If you already have a vinyl SP collection, it's a nice addition.

Implosion · 05-15-2014, 02:30 PM

I do have a collection, but this doesn't belong in it.

Araneae · 04:21 PM

If people are willing to shell out $100-$200 on tea just to get an ugly poster then there are people that will pay $60 for a limited edition vinyl, regardless of the fact that they have no idea what this "experimental music" sounds like. I also guarantee that there are a few out there that bought more than one, including those who are looking to make a profit off of it.

Link doesn't work, looks like it was taken down. Did someone already have one up for sale?

Raskolnikov · 05-15-2014, 04:30 PM

Looks like there's just one up right now - going for $75. I had a meeting at work that started at noon cst, but got back to my phone about 35 past... when they had JUST went up. Lucked out and grabbed a first edition copy.

Still not sure if the music is gonna be worth it - but $60 for a limited run of 250, signed, on colored wax, signed by BC with unreleased business? All told, worth a shot.

slunken · 05-15-2014, 04:34 PM

Was it announced somewhere before it went on sale?

Cool As Ice Cream · 05-15-2014, 04:35 PM

i don't think they're all on coloured vinyl. only 50 out of 250 are.
also, 50 are being reserved to be sold in the tea shop and to use for promotion, and it's not clear if (some of) these are on coloured vinyl or not...

slunken · 05-15-2014, 04:35 PM

This was completely off my radar

Cool As Ice Cream · 05-15-2014, 04:41 PM

it had been announced a couple of times before. "in about three weeks", that kind of vague announcement thing.
i guess it was also on the web of twitter accounts (zuzus, billy, sp, crestfallen) and a couple of other irrelevant online sources.

pavementtune · 05-15-2014, 04:45 PM

The #3 clip they released today sounds like I'd go insane if I'd listen to an entire album of it. Not going to spin that on repeat, I guess, but I didn't expect some easy listening tracks.

Cool As Ice Cream · 05-15-2014, 04:50 PM

marge!

haha, yeah. wtf, right? this is the kind of stuff i was expecting though, from those descriptions.

i'm surprised these sold out so quickly. is this mainly a collector's item then? or do you think a lot of people bought it for the music?

We did not even get any previews of the music. As someone else earlier said, this was solely to get a collectible/autograph.

Araneae · 05-15-2014, 06:48 PM

I read some of the Facebook comments and a lot more people bought multiples than I expected. One person bought 5 of them.

They should have made it one per customer. I bet most of these went to people who want to flip them on eBay.

juliana · 05-15-2014, 10:37 PM

They did.
