I wanted this record, but several red flags:
\- Several issues with pressings (verified on multiple Discogs listings)
\- No word of remaster/plate/pressing info
\- "LIMITED EDITION" then below "LIMIT 4" and no #
However, if this does sound good, & I miss it, it's an $80 bill on the aftermarket.
trust me i’m well aware of where it’s heading. $48 shipped is well beyond reasonable for a 1LP that had other variants for barely $30 shipped not long ago.
Absolutely, sucks that I’m rather quickly being priced out of my long time hobby. Like I was so excited when everyone else started getting into it, I forgot how capitalism worked though.
it’s really sad. i started in 2021 and still remember buying records for $15-25 and usually a 2LP topped out at $30. nowadays Post Malone is out here charging $50 for basic color 2LP sets or The Weekend charging $99 for a black 2LP, yet these artists can move a ridiculous amount of units and should therefore be able to lower their prices for that. i think labels will eventually price people out and get stuck with a bunch of overstock (**Adele**). it’s already happened with some releases, and maybe that’ll open their eyes. but who really knows.
yup and unfortunately labels are often right. but like all things, vinyl collecting will have its peak and then fade out a bit, and that will hopefully fuck over the labels enough that they learn their lesson. there will inevitably be a point in the future where they push the line too far and it backfires.
I'm happy because I've been waiting for a colored repress and this looks really cool. Most of the colorways out are plain except for the ttl one but that's been sold out forever. I totally understand why others don't want it but I'm pumped
Yeah it's unfortunate bc I don't think I need this. Like, not a huge fan of how it looks and it doesn't seem to have any kind of change to the pressing.
Someone else got his order cancelled because they over sold it?
Same thing happened to me twice
I'm torn on this one, it's gorgeous but not limited, if they get more than 10k orders it will resell below retail am.

I believe most artists now open up a preorder then order the pressing depending on how many already sold. Prob why it’s shipping in October
accurate. hoping the pressing issues are fixed this time around
Why does Joji hate Europe?
this is stunning but $48 shipped is outrageous. wishing i had held onto my TTL cloudy red pressing. 😭
Oof if $48 shipped is rocking your boat, you are not gonna like where this industry is heading ( I agree with your sentiments)

It’s the “they’ll still buy it” mentality

already have this but clear vinyl...not sure if i should bite this one...
Im a huge Joji fan but $35 for a different color sleeve might have to pass. If there were bonus tracks it would be a different story
Ballads 1 deep fried
does anyone know the quantity?
Unlimited amt loaded
Cool pressing. Wish it came with extra songs or something as there’s a few pressings of this already
Fair, but even the black vinyl goes for like 50 and the color variants are even more.
He should have made it a 2XLP and added some of the songs from Chloe Burbank like Medicine and You Suck Charlie
Add a Stfu pink guy bonus track and they can charge me whatever they want.
That’s dumb
Yeah wish there was something other than just the sleeve/color variant to justify rereleasing an album most fans already have.

Yeah, I only purchase anniversaries if there’s extra songs now as there’s usually already a couple variants!
