    I successfully purchased both volumes around 6:30AM EST if that helps. I think it was gone shortly after.
    12 hours is a long time just based on the numbers we know for fresh pressed.  That could easily be 10k-15k.  I would have to think it’s a lot more if people were able to buy as many as they wanted 
    That’s a lot for a PJ album in the middle of the night with no announcement and only US sales.   I’d say half that if not less.

    Thursday night walmart on the 10th? Pretty random. most likely most tuned out when they saw the newsletter.

    Someone over @ Walmart is a huge Pearl Jam fan that just went ahead and put these up on the 10th of the month. He / she knows.

    Not seeing any immediate ‘in search of’ posts so I’m guessing a lot of people who wanted them got them. Unless people are waiting to see if 10c have them first. 


    I still think people don't know this was released.
    Yup. Everyone I texted about it was unaware.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    Anyone know of a good parcel forwarder. From US to UK. Ive got one for France and Australia to help ship other exclusives but have never from the US. Looking for one that people have used successfully before. Just want to be ready if more appear.

    Search about 2 pages back and there is mention of one.

    100% agree. If you didn't happen to check this forum, or if you aren't a record collecting nerd like me who is on 3 other forums all the time just to find things like this then you probably never knew it happened. That being said i'm sure the flippers out there bought way more than 1 copy as they are probably easily returnable if they end up not being super limited. But 15k overnight/US only is a stretch.

    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.

    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. 
    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. 

    What did the booklet give you?

    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.

    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
