My original copy sounds fantastic, so hope this reissue lives up to it sound quality wise. Lost Dogs reissue, please!

Lost dogs makes sense. Yes it’s a compilation album but it’s unreleased stuff as opposed to a greatest hits compilation. 

It seems most artists are not a fan of greatest hits albums as it chops up albums in a way they were never intended to be heard, as one song snippets. I really never thought PJ would be supportive of a greatest hits reissue unless the record company just did it unilaterally.  I’m really surprised by this 

It's definitely a surprising reissue, as it only covers up to 2003. I'm only speculating, but I'm sure a lot of bands have a "compilation" clause in their contracts with their record companies. I'd have thought there might be a second "greatest hits" release covering 2004 to 2020 before we saw a reissue of this one.

J Records is the only record label they released an album for. The rest was under their own Monkey Wrench label. Otherwise we might have seen a 2nd greatest hits. As they already have enough

I would assume Sony is making the moves here.

Wait, were half the songs on one copy and half on the other?  If so, I'm happy I missed it.  Vinyl prices are getting nuts.

No longer available to buy online. I think these may have been released too early by accident, you can't find them through the search bar on the site. 

You can still find them, they just say "check availability nearby' which suggests they are already sold out. 

Yep. They look to be sold out.

Looks like someone at Wal-Mart f'd up
I highly doubt Wal-Mart sold out of these

Were we able to order the Purple Ten from Target online?  (I forget)
Or did you have to go to the store?

I'm guessing this is a marketing ploy to drive foot traffic to the actual brick & mortar

See my earlier post. Walmart is not Target. Their limited stock is actually limited. This is sold out.

I'm still surprised no one complained about the price

$35 for a double LP is not that crazy, at least in the last 5 years or so.

They were complaining about Gigaton's price

$35 and the $40 for a single LP is outrageous. Should be no more than $25.

They know they are “worth” more.  I’m sure it’s a pretty data based calculation as to what price they can charge to get it to sell fast and still leave enough gap for there to be money in it for flippers.

people buying on speculation it’s worth more than retail is a much larger driver of initial sales than I think a lot of people realise.  You’ve got to price it in that sweet spot of maximum profit while still maintaining fast sales as I doubt Walmart wants to hold on to copies in their warehouse for months or years.

All the Wal-Mart links are dead now.

Gigaton is a double lp

Somehow forgot about that. Haha. Was really 3LP with one of the uncreative etchings on side D. I personally didn't mind spending the $35 for Gigaton. Was quality gatefold and booklet and the album itself was the best sounding (mixing, mastering, etc)  PJ album in a long time. Not audiophile by any means, but I don't have a problem paying a bit premium for a good sounding vinyl record. It's what makes the hobby worth it imo.

Preorders sold out.

Would have easily missed this if I wasn't living here the past couple of days.

It does cost more than the reissues of riot act, binaural, self titled by $10

so double lp or not the prices have gone up quite a bit and gigaton was priced that way pre everything else going up in price (inflation etc)

The new RHCP double vinyl shipped was like $50. I bought it because this seems to be the normal these days. Ed's single LP was near $40. It's outrageous (especially considering how many pressings have such poor quality control these days), but I think this is the world we live in now.

Really hope this is a sign that Lost Dogs will happen sometime

I'm betting that on the 03/10/2022 newsletter we will have a "Limited Quantity" available through the 10C the same way that the Target Purple Ten was done. 

JeBurkhardt

I was standing in the lobby last night waiting to get into the show and saw the link posted. I was going to wait to get more information, but we still had a bit to go until we could get in, so I went ahead and ordered them. Now I am glad I did.

Really proud of myself for skipping this one yesterday.

FWIW these will likely be available in store on release day.

They owed Sony a Greatest Hits album, in their record deal. Or they owed Sony another album and decided on a Greatest Hits. Don't remember now. 

I think artists appreciate the money a Greatest Hits brings in.

I now a Swedish artist who made the trade of getting all his back-catalog back from the label in exchange for one greatest hits album.

I don't think greatest hits are included in the album deals. That would be separate. Another greatest hits is due though

pretty sure their deal actually did specify a number of albums plus a greatest hits.

I suppose that would depend on how supportive the band is on a greatest hits album and the fact it’s being reissued. 

Kind of what I was getting at before.  If the record label is just releasing it because they can, the band may not be all that inclined to sell it on their website.
