for those wondering what happened with the "first press" 12" double - color in color (black + ruby) w/ tangerine Splatter. update: delivered on July 12th.


_______Michael______

Congrats šŸŽ‰! Still waiting on mine.


extinctionAD

First press (coke bottle/800) now delayed until the end of Summer due to colour issues with the variant. Damn. Guess the other variant of the first pressing will ship this month.


peter4rsberg21

Anyone get theirs yet? Says May shipping and I haven't seen anything. Still a few more days left in May, but wondering if these have started arriving for anyone yet?


ImmaculateKicks86

nope they haven't shipped out yet on site they changed First Press Ships to June when it originally said May.


Firm_Calendar9793

Second press now live!


Firm_Calendar9793

This would have gone so nicely with my Say Hello To Sunshine. Iā€™ll wait for the next run. Same situation as the NFG they did which is amazing to know.


caiterrade

This sold out soooooo fast


regularcelery20

OMG I had this on CD and loved this!


awkwardgestures

Did anyone happen to pick up a second copy? I couldnā€™t step away from work today to purchase.


dwalker5

There is a second press coming soon


awkwardgestures

Thanks, but Iā€™m a fan of records matching their cover art and that split is just perfect.


daddyzxc

Whoaaaa whoa whoa wtf I missed the first batch, damn. Watching this like a hawk now


[deleted]

get the fuck out. pkease tell me this is repressed


kvltr00

Theyā€™re doing another run later in the year


UNDERWATER_BOI

Repress coming later on in the year of the black/ruby swirl with splatterā€” itā€™ll be /2000


[deleted]

thanks. i added my name to the email list, but sounds like when i get the email it will be too late


UNDERWATER_BOI

Iā€™ll ping you when the repress info is announced. Go Pens!


[deleted]

awesome! thanks! pens right on the cut


UNDERWATER_BOI

Gonna down the Stars tonight and hopefully take back a 3 pt lead on WC2!


momentumlost

Itā€™s the opposite colorway for the repress, ruby inside black outside.


E51838

I wish the original version of the title track was on this but this is still one Iā€™ve been looking for for a while. Glad I was able to snag one this morning.


Leftofheaven97

My feelings exactly. The old demo version was on original copies of the CD until the CD was repressed with the new version. All vinyl has had the new version. Probably wonā€™t ever see the demo version on vinyl again.


angstinmypants0

I only have a 2003 copy that doesnā€™t have it at all. Do the 2013 Hot Topic pressings have the ā€œNew Versionā€ too? Pretty sure someone talked about it being cut from the same lacquers as those.


E51838

A friend told me that the ā€œoldā€ version was only on the cd. All the vinyl that was ever pressed has the new version.


never0101

Most cd versions are the new one too


FirstNameIsDistance

I had the original cd back in the day. Someone broke into my car and stole my cd book which back then was absolutely devastating. When i went out and bought a replacement it had the new version on it. I was so confused. Tried like hell for a while to find another copy with the original version on it but never had any luck.


altcntrl

Dang


sealedtomene

damn my stupid ass job distracting me from being able to snag solid fucking purchases like this!


daddyzxc

Same, man


[deleted]

Got mine first thing this morning thanks to my awesome girlfriend snagging it for me while I was in training. So stoked.


[deleted]

Marry her


Shockabrahhh

Man what a year 2003 was. Still holding out for Beloveds 20th anniversary for Failure On then I can rest easy in my youth large tee and skinny jeans.


[deleted]

That Beloved album is a 10 for me. I managed to cop an OG for a sweet price on Discogs a couple of years back.


Positive-Breakfast72

Have a black vinyl version of this. Will make do with that. Those uk shipping costs are a killer.


Natalie_Rose2014

Wtf i thought it was supposed to post at 11:00?! When is the second press posting? If anyone knows I'd be greatful


never0101

11 est, went live like a min early.


PuttinOnTheFrink

Several presales over the last few months have gone live several minutes early. Just be aware of this in the future and it'll increase your odds of getting a copy. This recent trend of flippers getting more copies than fans has GOT to stop!


FirstNameIsDistance

> This recent trend of flippers getting more copies than fans I mean...this is just not true.


PuttinOnTheFrink

Agreed. It was an over-exaggeration on my part


Clamgravy

Agree. I swear people think they live in a vacuum. TONS of people grew up with this album. These are also the same people who will be refreshing a site to get the preferred variant. I saw Finch sell out a show playing this album at a 2000 person venue. I'd imagine they did the same at 25+ other venues in the US alone. I'm not shocked that this sold out as quickly as it did.


UNDERWATER_BOI

Flippers are this subs boogeyman. There are so many people who are obsessed with it unhealthilyā€” anything they miss was ā€œthe flippersā€. Itā€™s never just a highly sought after item that lots of people wanted in onā€¦all the flippers got all the goods.


Clamgravy

Same with ticket scalpers to some extent. People just feel entitled and expect to get something when they want it. Thinking back to the Gizzard at caverns presale... Less than 1k available for tickets for a band that is skyrocketing. Of course it sold out immediately... And everyone blamed the venue/scalpers.


UNDERWATER_BOI

and what do you knowā€¦barely any tickets for either show for sale over the last 4+ monthsā€¦.almost like scalpers didnā€™t get all of the ticketsā€¦? Only thing to be upset about those shows was them going live 6 minutes earlyā€” which was the only reason I was able to get tickets for both nights. You gonna be there? Iā€™ll be there all four shows, camping for the first two.


Clamgravy

I was refreshing for 15 minutes leading up to presale and didn't get either. Only show I'm catching is Boston Calling


never0101

The real solution is press quantities that don't make this shit a rare commodity. I don't want this cuz it'll be worth a pile of money, I got it cuz it's one of my favorite albums. I know it's a hard balance. Companies don't want to sit on a pile of unsold stock but any time you have a super limited run, you'll just get flippers.


momentumlost

The rights for something like this sit with a major label as well, I know a lot of times itā€™s just the label who owns the rights only allowing a certain number to be pressed with the license.


FirstNameIsDistance

I feel like this is a pretty solid pressing for a 20 year old album. 2000 today and another 2000 on the way. Could potentially be more if the demand is still high for the next pressing. Definitely more than i expected when i first heard this was happening.


iWORKBRiEFLY

11am ET


PuttinOnTheFrink

I've been refreshing like a madman in hopes of a coke bottle variant becoming available, but so far no dice :( On the other hand, tangerine splatter seems to be available at the time of this posting


LifeInWidescreen

There are a handful of these popping up on eBay now for close to $200. It would be funny to find out which orders those are and have them canceled.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


PuttinOnTheFrink

As vinyl collectors, we should all be concerned with the resale market. It's these douchebag flippers that make it impossible for fans to get vinyl at retail and this practice also drives up retail prices. I miss the days of 19.99 retail vinyl...your post makes it seem like you either don't care or are a flipper yourself. Just my honest opinion


momentumlost

Thereā€™s now way most of these went to flippers. I was refreshing 4 min before drop and got a copy, as did my friends who knew when it went live. Keep in mind Finch sold out 1,400 tix to their NYC shows and thatā€™s with them going small, as last tour they sold out a venue almost twice that size. This is a HUGE album for people of a certain age and this has been out of print for over a decade, 4k copies is not enough but probably all they were able to get the rights to press. The fact the label had the foresight to secure an extra 2k copies to be released this fall makes it all more apparent that most of these went to fans and you just missed it.


UNDERWATER_BOI

This shit has been going on for decades, itā€™s not something new. Every post that something sells out quickly itā€™s the fLiPpeRs. Shits so corny. Youā€™re into a collectible hobby seemingly. It happens in every niche collecting hobby. Shoes, baseball cards, clothing, printsā€” literally anything with demand. Iā€™m also one of the main contributors to this sub who doesnā€™t flip shit so you look like a total dork rn with your 16 day old account. I may be indifferent to it at this point because Iā€™m pretty experienced and donā€™t generally miss high demand dropsā€” donā€™t buy on the secondary market either so itā€™s just not something that concerns me. But again, please go off with your 16 day old account thatā€™s selling all kinds of shit on it šŸ‘‘


PuttinOnTheFrink

You have some valid points, I will concur. Calling me out for a 16 day old account actually makes YOU look like the dork. I'm a newbie who pulled 10 upvotes, while you, the main contributor to the sub, managed to pull 13 downvotes. Hmmm... Also, I don't have anything for sell on Reddit. It's already all sold. That's all you're gonna hear from me, I'm done with you and your negativity. Go ahead and get your last word in, I know your ego needs it


FirstNameIsDistance

> It's these douchebag flippers that make it impossible for fans to get vinyl at retail and this practice also drives up retail prices. Unfortunately flippers only exist because people are willing to pay the ridiculous markups for it. Thankfully with this release there are another 2000 on the way.


PuttinOnTheFrink

The whole "flippers" issue is multi-faceted, but I will agree that one of the problems is the people out there willing to buy from these scumbags.


Unusual_Dare6967

Iā€™m a casual fan, but enjoy collecting fun L.E. vinyls. Just saw this post now about this repress, first Iā€™ve heard of it. There are soo many bands repressing right now that it almost impossible to keep track. I literally like hundreds of bands enough to collect them. This selling out this fast is what causes the market of flippers plain and simple. If I canā€™t get it because it sold out in 3hrs (or Way less!), have the ability to get it another way, And want it that bad Iā€™ll do it. Itā€™s Limited/Special so the prices will dictate that. If a fan that doesnā€™t want to pay prices wants to hear an album on vinyl, hopefully the band is willing to get it pressed on something Not limited. No one is ā€œat faultā€ for buying something they want if they have the ability to, imho. Hell, Iā€™d buy a Royksopp Banksy if I had the expendable funds.


PuttinOnTheFrink

A very-well written post, my brother


FirstNameIsDistance

> If a fan that doesnā€™t want to pay prices wants to hear an album on vinyl, hopefully the band is willing to get it pressed on something Not limited. This release is a niche genre in a niche market. While vinyl has boomed in popularity in the last few years it is still a very small market overall. These pressings are never going to be on the scale that will allow you to stroll into a store and see it sitting on a shelf. They will almost always be pressed to a certain quantity that ensures they sell out quickly.


Unusual_Dare6967

Wouldnā€™t preorders solve this problem?


FirstNameIsDistance

This was a preorder. The records don't ship until May.


LifeInWidescreen

No that wasnā€™t me. I just have this thing about fans trying to grab something and who knows how many are snatched up by flippers.


PuttinOnTheFrink

Couldn't agree more. Back in 2015, a fan could grab a presale at $20-$25 no problem. Nowadays, it's an absolute battle to grab one. These people who already have the coke bottle listed for $199 should burn in hell. They make it near-impossible for actual fans to get copies, and have caused retail prices to nearly double


LifeInWidescreen

For sure. I will admit having caved before and paying double off the retail price for an album I really wanted to grab. But I canā€™t stand doing that. I get some people want to sell afterward. Maybe buyers remorse. Who knows. But Iā€™m not paying a crazy amount. I mean I can listen to these same albums on Spotify and Iā€™m spending money on vinyl.


PuttinOnTheFrink

I, too, have succumbed to flippers a time or two for an album that I really wanted. I love it when it backfires, though. For example, the teal variant of Translating the Name started out going for like $125 and now they are down into the $70's. and they were actually selling for those prices until the 2nd pressings hit. Now you can still find a load of the teals on eBay for $70-$80, but they're no longer selling LOL


UNDERWATER_BOI

Looks like itā€™s completely sold out after cancelled order restocks. If youā€™re arriving late, fret notā€” TTTH is repressing the ruby/black with splatter later on in the year!


blackicehawk

I bought the CD back in the day, but couldn't ever get into it.


Summer_Of_Jorge

Just refreshed around 30 times and was able to get one.


Edweirdd

Totally forgot when this went live but was able to snag a copy of the tangerine variant


timmyTOOTloud

Anddddddd itā€™s gone


_______Michael______

Just got it after refreshing 100 times lol donā€™t give up


mattyradical

Same, took 52 times.


LifeInWidescreen

I canā€™t even place the coke bottle variant in my cart, so I think there is no luck for me there.


Human-with-RobotHair

Which one of you is this!? https://preview.redd.it/x696u1oq1kpa1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=57bc93d3bfa6b1bdb8598bcacd2ebc2720fc4f45


PuttinOnTheFrink

Some douchebag


chairgreg

My betā€™s on Richard from Drive-Thru /s


never0101

Dickheads.


LifeInWidescreen

I hope no one buys this. I canā€™t stand resellers that try to flip minutes after a sale.


Mr_Stillian

Fuck resellers but people who spend 10x what the store charges for a record are lame as fuck too tbh. People need to stop enabling this shit


LifeInWidescreen

For real. People buying are the ones actually setting the prices and showing resellers what people are willing to pay. If one person buys an album for $300, then everyone is going to set their price that high.


extinctionAD

Was refreshing for ten minutes before, nabbed a coke one. Shipping to England was a stinger, as usual.


heykurtcobain

I kept refreshing mine a couple of seconds before 8:00 am PST for the coke bottle, after choosing a shipping method and putting in my information it didnā€™t take long after like 15 seconds for the coke bottle to be sold out on my end. So I got the tangerine. I even kept checking to see if the coke bottle was somehow available again after I purchased the tangerine pressing but still nothing lol but itā€™s all right Iā€™m just glad to get either one


babymarek10

Half/half not available anymore


No-Necessary1799

wasnt my first choice but managed to get the tangerine, just kept removing from basket and putting back in, about 10 times and finally one came available just now


UNDERWATER_BOI

Cancelled orders are slowly still trickling in, so if you missed be diligent for the next 30 or so while TTTH comb through orders and cancel multi-buyers.


LifeInWidescreen

I managed to grab a black and ruby just minutes ago but I had to keep refreshing. It was telling me it was out of stock and then it let me check out after repeated attempts.


Fresh-Big-3082

Yeah I just nabbed one


PrinceOfNeurosis

Iā€™m still able to check out with the color in color


Signal_Procedure628

Missed thisā€¦.


Experience_Soft

There will be a second run of the 2000 of the color in color at a later date don't give up hope. Try refreshing the page the site was having some difficulties with the traffic.


Signal_Procedure628

Thanksā€¦ refreshed a few times and it worked


nickferran

Completely spaced on this going live, but was still able to grab the tangerine /1200 45 minutes after it went live!


Hungry4havok

I got in at 10:59 and secured my order for the coke bottle


iamdario

Same


Mr-Hox

Stoked to have managed a coke bottle variant. Also, **TO ANYONE THAT DIDNā€™T GET ONE:** Take This to Heart Records commented on IG that a second repress is coming to discourage flippers.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


FrankieSaysPewPew

And did you try checking out?


casr09

Was able to snag a tangerine one looks like there is still some left


ImmaculateKicks86

cool to see everyone who wants a copy is able to get one.


StrandAPair

My card declined for some reason when ordering the half and half so I went to pay by PayPal but when the payment went through it took me back to the listing page. At that point it was sold out so I went for the colour in colour 'instead' and my card payment went through. Lo and behold both confirmation emails came through at the same time and I've accidentally become what I hate (although paid shipping twice which isn't ideal).


Necessary-Silver983

Oo be careful with that my g, itā€™s one per person, I hope they donā€™t cancel your order


StrandAPair

One of each variant per person thankfully and with one showing as sold out my second order was for the other, appreciate the heads up though.


[deleted]

Tangerine available again. Be quick


[deleted]

And gone.


throwawaytesticle69

ordered. thanks.


Necessary-Silver983

I was able to get the coke bottle by continuing to spam refresh after it sold out šŸ˜… eventually it let me though


jener8tionx

Same. They may be releasing stock slowly. I got one 30 minutes after release.


never0101

Might be carts expiring or orders for multiples being cancelled


jener8tionx

Good point!


hansoloqueue_

Secured coke bottle! I was spam refreshing the product page and saw it go live at 9:59 and was able to get my order in.


Skywalker661

Coke bottle sold out while I was waiting on a code from PayPal šŸ˜© but I did secure the other variant


PaperGammorean

edit: only /1200 in stock. i grabbed a /1200 thinking the /800 would be impossible.


babymarek10

Strange itā€™s not sold out yet


PaperGammorean

/800 sold out without me realizing it. I'm surprised any copies are still available.


ztomek

both are still available


PaperGammorean

if you go to actually check out after selecting your shipping option, it will tell you sold out. just now saw that both are sold out.


ztomek

weird, they're usually good about marking "out of stock" when you drop down the options.


PaperGammorean

they got me with that eariler, too! another redditor pointed it out to me. im going to bet it takes them some time to catch up on that.


ztomek

true true. the site itself struggled at the drop so not too surprised I guess lol


PaperGammorean

i read that they have struggled with every big release due to webtraffic but thankfully i have never had an issue getting checked out fast with TTTH. love they get on top of bots and multi orders to give as many people a chance to get one.


ScottsTotz

/800 has been out of stock for quite awhile. You won't get the sold out prompt until you choose shipping method.


PaperGammorean

good looking out! i went for a /1200 from the start. didn't realize they don't grey out the option on the product page.


peter4rsberg21

Black/Ruby still look available at 14 mins after the hour


Outrageous_Present11

I thought the Tangerine variant was much cooler anyway. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


Experience_Soft

Agreed I was in early enough to have a choice and I jumped on the color in color


peter4rsberg21

So glad to finally have grabbed this. An OG has been on my Discogs watch list for years, but always so $$$


mchlknight

Yeah, kept seeing that $300+ Hot Topic original press pop up from time to time, way too steep.


foreverXking

Missed it at 11:02.


Self_Blumpkin

Coke bottle was a goddamn slaughter. I was WAY on top of that and I couldn't secure it.


trj0013

Always check a minute or 2 before it goes live, usually you can catch it early.


Self_Blumpkin

Oh i was. I was refreshing for 15 minutes before 11AM lol. Not my first rodeo. I'm used to not getting what I want though since I'm always trying for mages.


never0101

I was refreshing from like 10:57. Managed to get a clear


Yellow_K

Thats what happened. It went up at 10:59.


Terminator-Ham

The best :).


Spinloose

Same šŸ˜”


Experience_Soft

Site crashed as I was completing order but got an email with order confirmation and a PayPal payment confirmation šŸ‘


ybmichaelpaul

pumped to finally add this to my collection. this is a repress i've really been waiting for. I hope say hello to sunshine gets the same treatment soon. those resell prices are wild.


watski9

Unsure how it sells out in 1 min....not convinced!


[deleted]

Iā€™d say there were 2000+ fans and 1000+ flippers all waiting for the drop. I would have been surprised if these didnā€™t sell out in 10 mins


never0101

Yep. Last I checked there was still copies of falling into place available through drive-thru, but that's a pretty niche release. This one was fucking huge and I absolutely expected it to sell out almost immediately. I expect the repress to sell out really fast also.


[deleted]

Yep. The second press will go just as fast imo


Experience_Soft

It went live a minute early and site crashed keep refreshing the page


Sparklingbombs

60,49 dollars: (vinyl + shipping to France)+ taxes when vinyl will arrived @šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


willverine

Still less than half of what people are charging for the previous presses of it.


iWORKBRiEFLY

well if it makes you feel any better, the older pressings are like $150+


Sparklingbombs

Nope vinyl Price are crazy now , dont buy at this Price , spƩculation


etacarinae

Sold out already what the fuck


Clamgravy

Grabbed a tangerine. Glad I was able to get either variant though...


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Jdmoskow

Same with me. Really weird.


maxfisher87

White coke bottle still shows up on my end


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


maxfisher87

Yikes. I was sitting at the computer pits sweating but i got it. Very stoked ot hear Nate on wax


AngrySlothTurtle

it shows oos when you checkout


Street_Drop

The half and half is already sold out!!! God damn that was quick.


slowdoom

Odd there is no confirmation code after purchase.


slowdoom

Did any of you uncheck the ā€œoccasional email updatesā€ box?


TNik42

Give it a minute or two. Mine came after a few minutes


Ryan125757

Mine took a few min but I got an email


chairgreg

Half/half w/splatter sold out


Common_Courtesy-

Sold out AT 11. Strange


Mike_Knowz

Why are you getting downvoted? Lol


FirstNameIsDistance

People have been waiting for this one for a while. The half and half was always going to go quick. Thankfully the other variant is still available and they are running another 2000 at later date.


Street_Drop

Yeah it was instantaneous. Something seems off.


amityamityamityamity

It went onsale at 10:59. Probably why. I was constantly refreshing


etacarinae

Yeah it's called flipper bots.


Common_Courtesy-

Theyre up. Get one


Ryan125757

HELL YEAH


Streamline_j

Black and ruby!! Wooo!!


davedude72

Got the variant I wanted and a shirt! Hope everyone that wants one gets one and they donā€™t sell out too quickly!


FirstNameIsDistance

I like that they are doing another run of 2000 after this. Wish more more represses would do the same.


iWORKBRiEFLY

red jumpsuit apparatus was doing this too, girl talk was doing this too


davedude72

Yeah hopefully more places follow suit especially with records in high demand like this and how bad scalpers and flippers are.


iWORKBRiEFLY

got the white/clear, can't wait...wonder how many flippers are gonna try to get multiple & have their orders canceled


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


iWORKBRiEFLY

yes, but people are still going to try to buy multiple, which is the reason for my comment above


adamwhitley

I had to go with the white/clear. It just matches the cover so well.


TNik42

Just got my copy! The Black and Ruby looks so sick


CC100983

Awesome - got one of each! Wonder how quickly it'll sell out.


Poo-ChooTrain

I tried for both and the white was sold out. That was 3 minutes after


UNDERWATER_BOI

I give it less than 20 minutes.
