I thought Twenty One Pilots was the British Airways choir until this thread made me look them up.
Oh I even got the band wrong.
Jeez.
Don’t even know the prices but having a stab at it probably belonging here
Replica gnome anyone?
Absolutely anything in Fopp
William’s at it again. $65 for five 7” ‘singles’ (which were never actually physical singles in the first place). 10 largely forgettable songs in total.
I loved the album, but just, why?
Like, there’s so much incredible unreleased material that people have been literally begging to spend money on for the past 20 years. Why a $65 boxset of 10 random songs from a 20 song album that just came out? Who is this for? (And not that it even matters, but it’s missing the two best songs)
Pretty impressed with this:
£33 plus p&h for a picture disc that doesn’t even come in a full sleeve and a cassingle whose artwork was clearly thrown together in MS paint in < 60 seconds; featuring two unreleased demos as the only new material.
And yet, somehow, it sold out!
An rsd special.
€75 for a comp that used to frequent pound bins and you couldn’t give away on cd.
Every time I see this thread bumped I pop in expecting to find out some band has blatantly stolen a song off another.
See also the Pearl Jam Alive, 1-sided 12" which was £20.
at least it has a proper sleeve! I hate picture discs generally, but even more so with the habit of them coming in a clear sleeve.
but yeah, ludicrous.
It feels like Screamadelica gets a big reissue/boxset annually tbh.
I remember it getting a 3LP set as part of RSD afew years back, then an anniversary box after that, then the Dixie Narco EP which had been included in the earlier RSD box got a standalone release this year for almost the same price, then this new box and theres def been reissues in between all those.
I see theyre also doing a 2LP of demos too.
No wonder pressing plants are clogged up.
Yeah I cant believe labels still do that considering ‘outgassing’ is a known issue tbh
Please stop
Boxset for Screamadelica again.
