Drop #6: Juanita limited drop, 27/5

[Lx_Nen]

It's not just the download prices that are high, 25 quid for 12" is pretty much twice what most people charge.

I order a ton of vinyl from the UK.

I dont see any issues with the price for a limited vinyl release,
and for shipping to the US.

Maybe it was cheaper before, but I have only started buying from
the shop in the last year or discogs, so there is no discrepancy from me.

I usually wait a year or two before buying, but instead of playing catch up for once, I just get them when they come out now.

You should see the prices on some of the older vinyl releases.
especially the rarer ones.

It's $52.17 to buy and ship this 12" to the US.

For the Baby Wants to Ride 12", I paid $21.47 shipped.
For the Long Slow Slippy 12", I paid $23.67 shipped.

Both of those were more limited than this one.

i'm not sure what the courier costs are nowadays compared to last year.

i know prices have gone up in the UK, and also there's a lot of
issues even in other countries shipping globably.

the best thing to to do is buy multiple items, because the
shipping doesn't change too much.

i ordered the puzzle and probably could have added a few shirts,
and the shipping would have been the same.

same thing happened on the new order store, bought a whole bunch
of items, but the shipping stayed at the same price.

Yeah I just spent $95 on that JAL to Tokyo hoody. will be worth it though..

I loved the Dark Train rework, but this one doesn't really do it for me and I prefer the Everything, Everything version.



The thing I'm most puzzled by is the flattening of the 'huh' in the vocal at the end of the 'when you walk away' section, which had real drive and feeling. In fact the whole vocal treatment seems to have robbed it of its urgency and excitement.



Nice to hear a few new elements in there though.

No kidding! Is this one even higher than the previous 12" drops? I don't know if I can shell out $50+ for this one.

Yeah, I agree with neg1. You're not buying a standard 12" - it's a limited edition with two 10+ min tracks which have never been released on vinyl before, so the price doesn't seem too high in my opinion.

Take a look at the prices on Discogs.com for the earlier "limited drop" 12"s. Very glad I bought the Dark & Long and Rez ones at the time!

I dunno, compared to, say, 25 quid for a completely new album on limited edition numbered vinyl, it's not exactly cheap.
