Possible ITW vinyl sale

edited January 2008 in The Porch
The local record store down here says they're getting the ITW vinyl Feb. 5th, and said they will cost $23 a piece.

I am going to pick up every single one I can, and instead of flipping them on ebay, I am going to sell all the others to you guys for..

DUN DUN DUNNN

$23

That is, assuming that the record store isn't full of shit..

    They said theyre only getting a few.. but they told me what day they should be in.. and I figured.. since everybody else were being dickheads about it then I'd try to help out this place some. :]

    Like I said, there's plenty of stories of record companies being dicks and selling them for $150 or not getting them at all, so don't hold your breath.. I'm going to try my hardest though :]

    make a deposit and get a receipt

    that just might be an enforceable contract

    and dont get all excited when you speak to the shop otherwise, they might start to think its worth more.

    Thats very decent of you. I'd definitely like the chance to get one, as you can see in the Oversold thread I had my order voided because i had the audacity to email them and ask for an update after having my funds held for 4 days. Imagine that, how dare i ask for some information!
    Cheers

    That surprises me. I thought for sure they would have gotten it. I wonder how it was decided which stores got them? Interesting. :)

    I called two Recordtime locations in suburban Detroit and one place in Dearborn. Recordtime didn't know what I was talking about and Dearborn said they weren't getting it. Those are the three major places in the Detroit area that would get it.

    welp... i checked my local record store... turns out they only do resale... like old vinyl... no new stuff... so i went in with a humanitarian goal in mind and ended up walking out with "mirrorball", "who are you", james taylor's greatest hits, and jim croce's greatest hits :D

    If you do eventually end up finding one, or more, can I send you $23 ... then someone else can send me $127 ... and you send them the vinyl?

    thanks!

    We have a big record store here called Uncle Sam's, they always get all the new releases but when I called on Friday they had no idea of what I was talking about and had nothing on their system about getting it at all.
    I have a couple of friends that missed out and was hoping that since Miami is a major city that record store would get a few copies in ... but then Miami sucks so what can I say...

    do you mean to say that the records available at record stores arent the exact same ones as the ones from 10C? cause from what ive heard they are all exactly the same (coming with the 7" single and everything)... i could be mistaken...

    I called a local store who called the distributor...

    the distributor said there were no more available (sold out) with no second printings made..

    i thought tim said at some point that both were the same and that it was a misconception that the instore version was any different? from the accounts ive gotten so far from people that picked it up at stores, it has the same 7"... and the majority of stores seem to have released them ahead of the scheduled release date for some reason...

    This is correct. The 10C version, the auralexploits version and the stores version is the same, there is no regular edition, as you were saying that was a misconception.

    ...all of the record stores in my area don't have it, well they either didn't get it or they thought it would be better business to sell them on Ebay.

    "Hi JoAnne:
    It looks like we will not be carrying the vinyl when it comes out. There was a very small amount that was to be available to stores across the country and unfortunately there wasn’t enough for us. We still have our fingers crossed that we may come across some in the future, but as of now the answer is no.

    Sorry about that and good luck finding a copy for yourself.

    Thanks.

    I can't seem to find ANYWHERE that is getting it. It seems odd that Easy Street wasn't able to get any :(

    Amoeba Records here in LA got about 20 copies last Friday and they are of course sold out. I asked the guy about the official January 29th street day release and asked him if they would get more in then. He looked in the computer and said that he is not showing any street release for it. So, whatever that means.

    I think we all understood that when at the very beginning, and then Tim clarified it in the LP Distribution sticky, but there was a lot of confusion at first about whether there was or not a version different than the one with the 7"

    This email Adam sent you I think sheds even more light on the fact that I don't think Ed or 10C had anything to do with the distribution of this record, as if they had they would have then Easy Street would probably carry some, just like it appears they had nothing to with the distribution I'm pretty sure they had nothing to do with the number or records that were pressed.
