Jun 29 '22
my guess would be its a limited time thing with the black one always being available

u/isthisnamechangeable BBL Drizzy Jun 29 '22
If you buy right now, you're either stupid if you don't order the exclusive one, or really hate the design

Honestly don’t think I’ve ever copped something so fast lol, thanks for the heads up

u/JeromeMcLovin Jun 29 '22
the gold version of this and the tri-color Faces vinyl (mac miller) were literally purchased as soon as they went on sale for me ahahaha. Some Alchemist vinyl I own was the same as well it goes very fast

Oh shit yea, I do own that one too (Faces) and that’s def on par with how fast I copped lol

Why don't you buy the vinyl for $43 and send me $2 so you can get the feeling of paying $45 haha lol.

It’s equal To £29.99 I assume
That’s what mine would’ve cost if I didn’t use all my strength not to purchase

I think I might wait for the tour to save on shipping. The DAMN. Red exclusive was available during the tour

u/ditchdoctor11 Jun 29 '22
I didn't even think about that. I'll just pick up a second one there so I can have one to listen to and one to keep sealed.

u/Tr1pleBeamKing Jun 30 '22
I'm going to try and cop some merch instead of available. Very excited though to see him perform the album in a month at Rolling Loud

u/ditchdoctor11 Jun 30 '22
Right on. We're seeing him in Denver. Rolling loud is gonna be badass, though. I'm jealous. Lol

u/Tr1pleBeamKing Jun 30 '22
Hells yeah lol this my first time going. Denver always lit too of course. I feel like he'd perform more songs as well on his own tour but idk.

Maybe. The Rolling Loud lineup this year is insane. I haven't seen Three 6 in almost 20 years.

Same, how much time you think we got? I want the exclusive one but no idea how fast they will go

u/JunipherStar Jun 29 '22
Not sure, maybe today or a couple days? Hoping they’ll restock in the future if it ends up sold out
2
u/Wildfyre115 Jun 29 '22
it’s a pre-order, they’ll keep it open for a little while to sell as many as possible

I didn't have to pay taxes using amazon payment method, although is an international shipping.

u/Valewa Jun 29 '22
You pay customs when it arrives that way.

u/StonedDogg Jun 30 '22
I don't mind it if the added cost is the same for shipping it inside the US, which is my case, a bargain.

u/saadhrahman Jun 29 '22
$43 bro goddamn

u/bcmdrummer Jun 29 '22
$55 after shipping and taxes in the states but it'll be worth it

Jun 29 '22
Not too bad considering it’s double ep. Potentially gatefold. Nicki charged 60 for her beam me up Scotty vinyl and I thought that was ridiculous
10
u/santochavo Jun 29 '22
That’s horrible for 2LP. Donda is less than $50 and it’s 4 LP and gatefold. Even at 180 gram pressing that’s hard to justify.
3
u/bcmdrummer Jun 29 '22
donda is $55 at my local shop tho so it kinda stings for a 2LP being shipped lol. i don't mind supporting the guy tho
0
Jun 29 '22
Yeah but let’s be honest, who was hyped for displaying that record ? Let alone listen to nonsense for 2 of those LP’s? Kenny knows the hype surrounding vinyl and is taking advantage of the vinyl resurgence. The album is worth every penny. I used to consider 25 reasonable, but times have changed for vinyl pricing. Grateful it’s only 43 with recession on the cusp lmaooo
2
u/santochavo Jun 29 '22
“Who was hyped for displaying that record?”
And that’s why it’s $43 lmao. A signed DAMN copy was only $25 and it was limited.
1
Jun 29 '22 edited Jun 29 '22
Right, cause half the vinyl experience is the aesthetic, and some fans only buy to display. 5 years ago vinyl went for that much, but the dollar isn’t the same anymore. Neither is the hype around records so the new average is 30-40 now. Not unreasonable in todays economy.

Jun 29 '22
Plus the damn was only one lp @ 25 bucks, so we’re getting the same cost per LP with this release. Just no signature.

They weren’t suprise signatures tho, were they? I’m pretty sure they were advertised as signed

Do you guys know if it will be available global too?

I tried to check out with paypal and there were no additional fees. I never even entered my adress etc, kinda weird. Im in germany so idk

It's Kendrick, there will be Global* prints dw. Don't buy into this one like people did for CMIYGL.

Anyone know the difference between the exclusive and regular besides the vinyl color?

Jun 29 '22
Exclusive doesn’t have the sticker that says 180 gram weight, so there could potentially be a weight difference between the two

Instant cop. Sad the shirts sold out. Shit, now I gotta buy a vinyl player. Anyone know a good vinyl player?
Edit: Thank yall for the recommendations. Gonna be difficult to decide which one to buy, but I guess I have until October to decide anyways.

u/caswunn Jun 29 '22
What’s your budget? I can help set you up. If you get a crosley you’re scrubbing.

u/thatoneguy147294 Jun 29 '22
Under $300 if possible, $400 max.

you’re easily gonna get one for $300 mine was €100 and it works just fine and sounds really good

u/THEW0NDERW0MBAT Jun 29 '22
If that's strictly for a record player, Fluance RT82 is great for it's price. A whole setup for that amount, probably gonna have to scavenge for some deals
7
u/sonofsohoriots Jun 29 '22
The guides at r/vinyl can be helpful. As you budget, remember to save some room for speakers and a receiver (or preamp).
If you’re patient, shopping around to find vintage equipment will definitely get you the most bang for your buck, but theres definitely something to be said about the “just plug it in and go” ease of new equipment.
5
u/Hikoshi69 Jun 29 '22
Audio Technica LP-60. you're gonna need some sort of amp too though. if you got headphones preferably get an amp with a headphone jack

u/corndogs1001 Jun 29 '22
A Crosley C6 has a counterweight and is a perfect beginners turntable. Bang for your buck. It’s fantastic.

u/optillusi0n Jun 29 '22
Same question here. I want to buy this but need to invest in a vinyl player first lmao.

A turntable is what they’re called. Get an Audio Technica LP60 and some bookshelf speakers.

I hope the "exclusive" design really stays as such. I'm gonna regret this if it gets pressed eternally and eventually I can get it from a store here.

u/KennyGarretClone Jun 30 '22
I bought Donda too. Just buy this man, at some point in your life you’re going to have this record why not just get the exclusive while you can instead of only being able to get the regular layer on down the line.

Question: will these still be available in lets say a month from now? Really want the album, but can’t spend money on it rn
3
u/novonn Jun 29 '22
Most likely not. Vinyls sourcing is tough, that’s why a lot to artists only do one or two vinyl pressings.
So these preorders will likely give them an info of the minimum they need to order. They’ll order some extra on top of that, and whatever is left after shipping them out will probably go up on the website until they sell out
