    Damned expensive, but total FOMO, knowing these limited releases will be hard to obtain after the fact.  This one and the Tool one are crazy expensive.  This one a little cheaper, but hits you with the shipping.  $50 seems higher.   Usually $30 is on the high end of shipping a record to Canada. $15 is a bit low.  Usually it's in the $20's.
    You bought the Fear Tool box set?  I couldn't bring myself to do it.

    amazon 168 for 5 records. 2 1/2 really. local had it for 162.  beats the shit out of 750 for autographed.

    sooo looking forward to the reissues....
    Guestroom records still has it 159.49 shipped. Didn’t charge sales tax either. That’s the cheapest I’ve seen

    Think the fact that Archive 3 sold out quite quick helps me justify the expense that I was finding difficult on this one. Its hard to see black represses any time in the near future with these back logs. Probably a decent investment if nothing else.

    I never knew SP had such a rabid following?

    I bought this because I like the idea of getting stuff I haven't heard and upset I didn't get the first batches of them.

    I imagine the numbers of all 3 have been quite low. All sold out/ unavailable in 24 hours. Pumpkins records have been picking up considerable resale value over the past few years, even the reissues. They seem to be picking up a lot of new fans.

    They need to reissue MCIS.

    Machina I & II first. Hoping to have an update on that soon.

    The hype is probably the first era of the band up to the Metro show-wonder what of their later albums is getting the most love. I saw their 3rd or something show back in London in 2007, would love to know if any good recordings of that are floating around.

    Zeitgeist is a fucking beast of a record. I actually had hoped BC and JC would carry on together like that as a two piece.

    I’d be happier with a MCIS era archive release.  
    This latest release is interesting but I hope the volume 1 label on it doesn’t mean the next ones will also be obscure Rubano tapes.  Viper Room was a cool take on the Adore era so I kind of like that theme

    yeah, I really don't get how it didn't really seem to catch on. I LOVED that album.

    MCIS was so widely available about six months ago. At least where I was.   Siamese Dream was at Walmart.  Lol.   They need another repress.

    Where at my friend? Any chance it would still be?

    I loved Zeitgeist too.  To me it felt like the most pumpkins sounding record I'd head since MCIS.  I don't suppose it ever got pressed on vinyl?

    Not sure, I remember the different versions that all had a different unreleased song on it. Some really good ones! I think they are all collected as a playlist on YouTube somewhere.

    Zeitgeist was never pressed, but there were a couple of 45s.

    Yeah I have the 2 coloured Zeitgeist singles but the full album never made it to vinyl. They were pushing multiple cd formats and packaging heavily back then. I've never owned the album because assumed it would come to vinyl and didn't want to buy twice. I guess I could pick up the cd really cheap now.

    Isn’t the reason it’s not available in Apple Music and Tidal etc because so many people said it wasn’t good? Billy got mad or something and pulled it 

    hadn’t thought about that album for a long time, just went to get it and it’s nowhere to be found
