Post-Riot Act Moneygrab

I wonder how they chose each store to carry that particular variant. Kind of surprised (not really though) they chose Newbury. They fucking suck.

Doesn't seem like too many stores are carrying each variant.

Not at all. Like 2-3 max per variant. Sometimes just 1. They’re all available online though, I haven’t seen any (yet) where a shop is holding them specifically for in person.

There are 12 for the record stores, but there are at least 14 different ones, if not more.

all utterly inessential to general fandom and designed to appeal to a niche market that enjoys them. I mean I think one variant is too many, but I'm not a collector, and happily, like t-shirts and basketballs, all of this can be easily ignored by me IF THE BOARD WOULD STOP FUCKING BITCHING ABOUT THEM CONSTANTLY

(which is not just Anders. He's just the unfortunate soul who took it upon himself to respond to me)

why now dont u bitching?

This is all a big setup to play STBC at every show this year, changing the lyrics to "Spin the XXX XXXX Circle" to whatever variant was available in that market. Then the bootlegs will be collectibles too.

omg great idea

and add the local market hockey/basketball jersey with PJ/Vedder sewn onto the back for low low price of $395.95

Stip is right for once. Who cares? It's harmless.

if a meaningful amount of the profits are going to local, independent, otherwise economically-fragile records stores, then this makes much more sense / I get it

Pearl Jam: “We need this run of 12 variants pressed ASAP for a mid-April release date”

Record plant manager: “ok but that is going to be tough. We need to get to this Waxahatchee album printed and shipped by April 8”

Pearl Jam: **hands over money**

Email from record label to pre-ordered customers: “Due to unforeseen circumstances with production, the new Waxahatchee album has been pushed back from April to June 1. We will email you when your order ships.”

and now we understand why so many fan club singles got delayed in years past

I think it’s more about them earning from the attention, not extra money from the sales themself.

The most notable case of this was the Adele 30 pressing just absolutely fucking up production schedules by jumping ahead of schedule, and sending a pretty long-lasting ripple effect across the industry. And 6 months later, stores and sites couldn’t get rid of their stock and that thing could readily be found for like $10.

Ey guys what’s new

[Ms Harmless]

PJ sold out again

[VinylGuy]

Damn those fuckers

[B]

Remember during Backspacer, they'd post a picture of the limited edition 7", and you had to run to the store immediately to get it?

[Anders]

It never ends.
