Why does it say “Variant” above the vinyl/cd option? Any difference?
I was wondering the same thing. Once I got in the cart it didn't mention variant anymore. I bought anyways. Bonus would be if it was some sort of variant. If anyone knows anything please share.
I think the variant is just Vinyl vs CD. You choose which of those two variants you want. Other stores, like Amazon, use "variant" in their terminology as a way to choose which version of the product you want.
This was literally delivered an hour ago after I pulled the trigger on it last week. Oh, the irony. I am still happy to have it, but the timing of it all. I would have saved some money had I waited just one more week.

I know the feeling. The same thing happened to me with Fiona Apple's Ider Wheel on vinyl. I bought the 1st pressing for about $100, then a couple of months later the reissue was announced. Also happened with PJ Harvey's Rid of me. Paid around $100 for a 1st pressing, then shortly after the reissues were announced. Those were actually good deals for 1st pressings, but I'd have been fine with just the reissues for around $25.
If this was released 27 or 28 years ago it would have been at least 5x platinum. Now it'll be a miracle if it sold more than 50k. I'm hoping it does well.
By the way, if you want to get technical, wouldn't a "repress" be exactly the same as the 1st pressing of this. As in same packaging, and produced from the same masters? "Reissue" usually indicates a different pressing (from a different master plate) or different packaging from the original. Even though the item description says "REISSUE", it may actually be a "REPRESS". But who knows.
Kind of lame that an "RSD Exclusive" is being reissued in what appears to be the exact same pressing / packaging...a little heads up would have been nice
Agreed. At least do a variant or a different cover. That is the whole point of "RSD EXCLUSIVES".
Why not also repress Twenty, Lost Dogs, Benaroya, and any other high demand LP? They can obviously sell a ton of them. What is the difference?
I make the same argument with limited quantities of event posters. Why stop at a limited quantity of anything that’s in high demand?
I saw that. I guess I am glad I bought that one last week. This might spark another frenzy for them, and now I already have one in my collection. I’m looking forward to playing it. But am waiting until I get my new turntable. I am in the process of doing some research on that.
People seem to be getting an error message on merchbar too. It shows "In Stock", but will give you an error message when checking out. I read that merchbar pulls from the same inventory as 10C.

I wonder what merchbar is? Is it affiliated with the bands and artists for the general public? I mean they have stuff that's on artists sites.

Is the CD going to retail or can I only buy it from 10? Would like to shop local if I can (and save on shipping) but I'll buy it from 10c if there is no other option.

But who knows.
So you may save on shipping elsewhere.

We'll see if it comes back again sometime. Why stop pressing them now?
