the shipping killed it for me. came out to $90 US, so I skipped it. now watch they'll issue a 45 with tracks recorded in Winnipeg and I'll be paying through the nose for it.

Wow. I was having technical difficulties and couldn't even get to the shipping part. The $90 total pretty much seals the deal as an easy pass for me.

if I knew it was studio rarities, I'd be all over it. but metallica have historically been a band that releases live tracks and calls them "b-sides", which is a big yawn to me.

They have a shit ton of rough takes and alt versions.

Ron McGuvny has a ton of it on tape.  He used to bring stuff to KNAC for Mandatory Metallica nights.  Heard some really cool stuff.

I priced out the difference in price for shipping between the 4 shipments per year and the one shipment per year options. The 4/year was a little over $19 and for one shipment it was about $6.50. I live in South Dakota, so I'm sure it varies.

If can't do the 4 - 7" records. I will listen to them once, then they will go on a shelf. I really wish it was for 12" records. I'd have been all in at that point, even if it was $55 a quarter.

That's what it was for me in FL, too. I opted for the 1 shipment option.

The new one is up now, shipping priced me out of it.
Shame, I did enjoy them this year.

The 2022 subscription year will be on 12" vinyl at 45rpm.

Tell me you will spend 2022 celebrating LOAD and you can have my credit card right now.

I paid through the nose for the Chris Cornell covers 7" so I regret not buying this last year.  On the flip side I wasn't really that interested in the other 3, so what are the odds the randomly put something in that I really really want 2 years in a row?
