sounds pretty logical to me

glad im not a white stripes collector

This dude is the lamest and so are his fan boys. If you can't hang with people flipping YOUR collector versions then don't make them. Oh wait... but would people buy them without some baseball card geek out feature.

Couple this with RSD Black Friday Edition it leads to believe that I'll be able to sell my 90's baseball card collection. Does anyone want a bedazzled Jerome Walton Rated Rookie with an unreleased boob shot taped to the back? First moron with a stiffy can have it for $75.

yeah this shit is so lame.
RECORD $TORE DAY...THE LABEL
"manufactured collectibles for a manufactured holiday"

everybody associated with "music" is such a fucking weasel. go to austin, texas in march sometime or play a show at a "D.I.Y. $$pace" in new york city & u'll see what i mean

RSD and RSD Black Friday are these luring the same people who would rather buy some Itunes stuff into record stores to buy some manufactured collectable. I mean, most of these people, IMO, have abandoned brick and mortar shops for the ease of ITunes/ downloads but the allure of getting in on the ground floor of something "collectable" is totally insane and will 100% fail when the general public no longer cares about "vinyls". I've said it a million times, I don't need a "holiday" to spend my money at a good record store.

It is sickening and I personally would rather spend my money on something ill. There are plenty of great records out new and reissued (and used!). Does the world need a "collectable" U2 record? Does the world need another U2 record period? Rock music ended with Les Rallizes Denudes. All these other dudes are false.

It bums me out to see all this major label trash getting issued for RSD. It's a total cash grab. I read that you could buy the new George Benson on CD on Black Friday RSD (reg release date in Jan). COULD ANYONE CARE ABOUT GEORGE BENSON? ON A CD? I like taking smooth shits but smooth jazz can really fuck off.

Sorry, if I'm surly. Little sleep, myself and little kids don't mix.

This is inspiring. I've been meaning to buy back our old catalog, out of print stuff on amazon for $1 and then flip it at at shows for $2.

i'll trade some of my rare beanie babies for that conan single.

I think there is nothing to be defensive about. Like Jack said, if the demand was not there it would not go for those higher prices. Don't want to spend 300 bucks on a record? Then just don't do it. No one is being forced to buy this shit.

If you have to have it and don't have the cash, download the fucker for free.

There's something kind of Republican and mean-spirited about what White's doing. It's this uber-capitalism gone awry. Bit of a control freak, if you ask me.

I agree, he should be more Democrat and free-spirited and just give whatever I want for free.

you know it.
C'mon Jack. At least be more independent.

At least it's only records. That would suck if they were in charge of setting prices for food. We make a loaf of bread for like 10 cents and sell it for a few more pennies a loaf. They turn around and sell it at a $.67 markup. We figured this time we'd let you decide how much a loaf of bread is worth. You don't wanna eat, don't fuggin buy it.

Jill, do you mean to say that someday the general public won't care about vinyl?

Wait, Jack White is an asshole?

cdr is reissuing out of print (OOP ) cassettes on vinyl so they can b enjoyed by people other then collectors, AND on a superior format. if u have a double lp, u put it in a gatefold because stuffing 2 lps in one jacket is for amatuers.

i changed "but" 2 "AND"

this might be easiest way to explain.
go 2 a distro on the internet and u'll see that the cdr releases through that distro r usually less expensive than the other distro's records because cdr sells their records 2 distros on the cheap. they arent selling them through auction sites.

selling records & gear or pretty much anything on auction sites or craigslist is 4 desperate people who need $$$ because they r losers with children and pets or church or think that jack white/alicia keyes james bond song is good

Is that a fridge?

on a related note, do u think user:RoboticEmpire has sold any of his EUROPEAN IMPORTS or HOLIDAY GIVEAWAYS thru this website
