Why split this into 2. Almost certain that whoever buys one will buy the other. Able to charge more I guess but its maybe to do with single wide spine sleeves being cheaper, quicker and easier to make than a fancy gatefold.
Because the casuals wont pick up a 4-LP release and the cost that comes with that.
The oroginal release was de facto a 2 disc CD release. Not thinking about vinyl.

Just saw this. For those wondering on the quality, I can say I’ve been happy with the Walmart exclusives I’ve purchased. The Metallica presses are excellent.
Agreed. The Metallica presses sound great. Also, I was pleasantly surprised the Jimi Hendrix Freedom vinyl exclusive is a QRP pressing. Also sounds great.
Really how things are going they could just paywall this stuff. Best Buy does it now with PS5 and you have to pay 199 a year or something to be in their total tech program to even buy it.
walmart + does really need to diversify. They absolutely could and still sell them all

Walmart cares. Totally can see this happening. Customers always come first at Walmart.

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
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 remember hearing the same thing. Greatest hits and b-sides were part of the contract. Thats why they put out RVM and LD not too long before Avocado, so they could do that on their own label.

The 10club store sold those Ten Target Exclusive vinyl a day after they went up, on Target. Hopefully later today 10club will have copies up for sale as well.
At a guess, total run of these for Wallmart will be about 6,000 each. Maybe 1/2 sold on pre order with the rest going out to stores and more appearing online on release. Unlike a few years ago, unless its a big new album everything seems to be quite limited in quantities. Its stupid to be honest. If you look at something like the Alive 12" reissue far too many copies were made for RSD. That looks like it will hang around for ages. Easy Street vinyl also seems to have hung around for quite a while as well.
Needless to say Im ISO. Anyone think a Smashing Pumpkins live in Japan might be a decent trade for this. The obscure nature of the 2 different sleeves has me wanting this for some weird reason.
I’m guessing these won’t be hard to find down the road in the medium and long term sealed.
it would be fun to have but I have never opened or even been tempted to open the RVM I currently have. It’s my only sealed album that only serves the purpose of having just to have. Maybe it’s going to be a hit with the casual fan at the comparatively lower price point but I can’t imagine a lot around here actually spinning a greatest hits album with much frequency
An album you get just because you buy everything PJ anyway is how I view it

I still think that Unplugged and Live at Easy Street are still being pressed past their original RSD run...

Were you thinking Smashing Pumpkins live in Japan Archive 1 (I assume not autographed version?) for both RearviewMirror Walmart Exclusives #1 and #2 (all 4 LPs)? I got the Smashing Pumpkins Viper Room, but didn't bother with the Japan one because I was a little less interested in that one, but may be nice to eventually have the complete TSP archive collection.

That’s a great trade to get the archive 1. Tried the same thing with fresh pressed, didn’t work

Yeah, price wise they cost roughly the same new. Waiting until my Archive 1s (unsigned) arrive but I also want to see how the RVM availability pans out. It would be a big mistake if these become the new purple Ten which I dont think they will be.

Sounds good. Feel free to hit me up when the RVM gets released in March, and your TSP Japan Archive 1 arrives.

I said this earlier, nobody knew it came out. Flew under the radar for a lot of people.
