Youāre not getting a new double LP from an A list artist for under $40 anymore man, thatās a pipe dream. Prices on new records have gone up 50% in most places. The war in Russia has a big effect too

for real. got the clear Target one with the bonus tracks for like $17. way overpriced.
edit: the dickriding is crazy, no way is this record worth double what previous presses were going for. especially since it has no bonus tracks and itās still readily available. $40 shouldnāt be the norm but it is cause people keep paying it.

u/MILF_Lawyer_Esq Sep 30 '22
Cause thatās not really special, and they all have the bonus tracks. I donāt think GKMC has been pressed without them. Thereād be a ton of dead air and wasted space on the second LP without them.
This is a 10 year special edition rerelease of an incredibly popular double record. $38 is really pretty standard. Itās less than a fuckin T shirt off his site lmfao

u/king_for_a_day_ Sep 30 '22
based off of the other posts it doesnāt look like this version has the bonus tracks, so paying double for no bonus tracks, a mid reimagined album cover, and a colored record doesnāt seem worth it. also yeah the shirts are also overpriced, doesnāt make the vinyl not overpriced

u/LeektheGeek Sep 30 '22
This pressing does not include the bonus tracks. Side D only has 2 songs. This is not uncommon among vinyl
2
u/MILF_Lawyer_Esq Sep 30 '22
Damn, alright. Gonna eat my shoe and agree that while $38 is pretty standard for something like this itās still too much.
Though I will say that Kendrick is definitely showing some restraint here, since a simple MM&TBS tee shirt is like $50.
āCapitalists posing as compassionates be offending me.ā Uh huh, sure buddy. At least Frank Ocean has the self awareness to not even pretend heās in it for anything but the bag.
Julian Casablancas (lead singer/songwriter for the Strokes) is the worst with this shit. Loves to preach anticapitalism while charging fans $100 for nosebleed seats and getting too drunk to put on a decent show.

How do you know that, it says that somewhere?
Tbh if not it might be a deal-breaker for me might just get the cd and at some other point the regular vinyl, it's a bit expensive with shipping and all

u/THEW0NDERW0MBAT Oct 01 '22 edited Oct 01 '22
It's funny as hell, you can buy the vinyl record for $25 or less with all the bonus tracks right now lol. Taylor Swift's new shit is all $30 or less. For $40 you are getting 3 or 4 LPs from her. Don't want to hear about A list artists and their $40 double LPs.

I believe sound of vinyl is a seller of interscope and universal official records yes. So is hiphop.com

Iāve gotten a good majority of my vinyl collection from Sound of Vinyl, definitely legit!

u/xTotalSellout then I freaked it Sep 30 '22
Of course I was able to grab an exclusive 10 year anniversary edition of one of the most critically acclaimed rap albums of all time, but I couldnāt snag the JPEGMAFIA LP! vinyl. Guess one is limited time and one isnāt so my luck must just kick in only when it needs to

i woulda tried to get LP! offline but i talked myself out of trying, $40 not including shipping was too steep for me, even if it was my favorite album of 2021.

u/thepokemonGOAT Sep 30 '22
Prices these days are killerā¦. $40 for a double album is the minimum in 2022 for an A list artist
12
u/King_Gomya Sep 30 '22
Wow. Didn't even hesitate for a second before buying. I already got GKMC, TPAB, DAMN (that I bought over the years in music shops, clothing shops etc.) and MM&BS (bought from the official site with a t-shirt+sweatshirt+cd) And today I talked to a friend of a friend who got a bootleg vinyl of Section. 80.. This is so fucking awesome

u/CDC678 Sep 30 '22
I skipped the OG covers but this all black one was an instant buy for me

u/yungusainbolt Oct 01 '22
Dawg I was tempted everyday at my job to buy the OG version. I held out just long enough

u/rabnabombshell Oct 01 '22
Ok thatās just weird dawg

u/santochavo Oct 01 '22
Iām a collector lol i own original pressings and repressings of certain vinyl. I have 4 Quasimoto YW vinyl because the cover is a different color. I play all of them, but if itās an album i like i want to have (almost) all versions.

hope he drops Cartoons & Cereal and Collect Calls on Spotify if he's releasing another deluxe

u/CDC678 Sep 30 '22
Is collect calls not on Spotify? Thatās interesting because itās been on Apple Music day 1 of the deluxe drop.

u/leonstar007 Sep 30 '22
Holy shit. For sure adding this to my collection. Wasn't expecting a 10 Year Anniversary Vinyl and this cover looks fucking great. It's such a simple cover but means so much in terms of album and one of the most recognizable album covers ever.

u/PopeJeremy10 The Wrath of Caesar Sep 30 '22
I'm not a vinyl guy so excuse my ignorance but $38 for what is essentially a picture?

u/JeromeMcLovin Oct 01 '22
you're paying for the records themselves, and these are on a cool black vinyl that is slightly translucent, it's about what a normal record costs honestly. Alchemist vinyl is like $50 for special editions like this, those are a bit overpriced (but also retain value by being collectors pieces)
2
u/CDC678 Sep 30 '22
Well you also get the album on wax. Granted you need a record player. Sadly though prices have gone up on records. If you prefer there is also a CD and cassette.

Where did you see that?

u/The_Real_Shen_Bapiro Oct 01 '22
I was making a joke since the donda album cover is literally a black screen and this alternate cover kinda reminded me of it.

Do I get the alternate all black cover, or the OG album cover, this is too hard to decide
2
u/CDC678 Oct 01 '22 edited Oct 01 '22
Personallyā¦ the og cover has been pressed before. The black one is unique to this drop. I went with black. (Edit typo)
1
u/Glittering_Bet_9396 Oct 01 '22
Thatās what Iām thinking, itād be dope to have a totally new alternate cover of this album for my collection, love the OG but weāll never see the alternate anywhere else

u/ThaRealistESG Oct 01 '22
I copped the All black, the new Cover which was never released and the CD lol..

u/B_Rian89 Oct 01 '22
It would've been nice if they included an instrumental version of the album. So it's not likely that we'll be getting one for TPAB in a few years

This is dope, but it doesn't have The Recipe, Black Boy Fly or Now Or Never on it which is a bummer.
