Where can you find the cheapest Earthling black vinyl pre order, in the USA or Canada?
Haven't seen it cheaper than $40 anywhere. Absolutely absurd price for a single LP.
unfortunately this will be the new normal. A record store I follow posted apologizing for the cost of that new Harry Stiles album and said it was the lowest they could sell it at and it was $40. Been collecting vinyl for 25 years and it has definitly become a less fun hobby recently due to prices and trendiness. But like all things the labels will take it too far eventually and destroy it, I just hope record stores can survive if it happens, or maybe people will be buying $50 single records and be cool with it.
I don't think it's only record labels gouging. Demand is now vastly outstripping supply when it comes to vinyl. Taking up to a year to get something pressed. Plus all the inputs, wages, etc.. going up due to inflation in the pressing process.
I'm glad I've been building my collection for the better part of 25 years.... if I started to take it would cost a fortune :(

It's sad they are charging this much for just one vinyl record. Pre orders on the EV Earthling blue vinyl is $60 CDN currency. I wonder how much more it would of cost if it was a double LP. Shit is getting intense buying new vinyl records.

It's crazy. I know vinyl costs are going up but this seems like major price gouging. Recently got the new Band of Horses album on vinyl for $25 but EV is $40 and both are single LPs. And for an album that I don't even like that much, it's an easy pass.
Give it six weeks and the album will be a staple of HMVs never ending 2-for-£40 promotion. Labels love to gouge superfans who absolutely must own records on the day of release.

Those labels SUCK if they do that. I'm just afraid of Pearl Jam's next record though, if they follow what RHCP did on their latest album vinyl releases.

Was in HMV a couple of months ago, they had Lightning Bolt on vinyl for £8.99. Nearly bought 5 of them to keep until it disappears from the shelves everywhere Decided the 4 copies I own are enough.

That's it? Local record stores here are selling the Lightning Bolt vinyl for over $65 CDN!

yeah, I don't know how sunrise is going to survive only selling funko's and old niche t shirts.
Same thing happened to MusicWorld. They had 2 walls of Funko's. You don't need to sell that @ a music store. It's taking up soo much space where vinyl & CD's should be. EBgames does this too.
I do have to say that the excitement that comes from getting a vinyl album on release day has been crushed with this delay. Where I would normally do everything I could to refrain from listening to a digital version of the album was tossed into the wind. With so much time passed since the release date, it remains to be seen if and when I actually pop the album open and give it a whirl on the turntable.

I'm actually hoping that the delay will rekindle my interest in Earthling. I listened to it 5 or 6 times online back in February and I really didn't enjoy it. There are some good songs that may swing it for me, but as a whole I didn't think it was that good.
Maybe the extended delay (which would have definitely crushed my enthusiasm for other releases) will work in my favour this time.

I like the positive spin.....I will adopt your position on this....

I am just happy I have very few wants anymore because if I didn’t buy them when I did I probably never would
