Hello from Minneapolis, where it has finally warmed up to -4║F. It's like Spring Break up in here.
Our general contact informations:
We are located online at
Just got this email too. I was hoping they would sell the SSB 7''s.. bummer that you can't buy single ones though.
Agreed, its dumb how you can't order anything seperately.
But anyways, thanks for posting this - im thinking if i do order anything it'll be the second package.
i thought they knew that the majority of melvins fans are cheap and poor.
another fine offer that i dont have the funds for.
I agree. Not selling seperatly is BS. I already have the SSB record and cd's. I'm not paying $67 for a t-shirt. They're losing $$ doing it this way.
Yeah!
I think their intestinal fortitude will break before my wallet breaks out my pocket for bootleg mp3s and a two song record I already have.
I'll wait till they do the reprint of the Buzzo's shirt.

Not really, because it will all sell out, so no money lost.
And as for reprinting the t-shirts, who said they ever will? On to bigger and better things.
i just want the shirt.
oh well fuck me. :?

I suppose it might eventually sell out. Depends on how much stock they have left I guess. It's really just me whining because it's screwing the people that already bought the 7 incher and the cd's. We'd like the shirt too, but not for fucking $67.
I blame walsby.
Isn't it Wednesday? It is, right?
where am i??
is it just me or is this whole MELVINS merchandise/limited editions getting slightly out of hand?
don't get me wrong, I'd still climb over my own grandmama to get my hands on any of this crap but MAN! they are soaking this recent fad for all its worth and now starting to force our hands by offering items only in high priced package deals.
believe it or not I actually see the potential for the bottom dropping out of all of this and the value going right in the toilet. kinda like those beanie baby thing-a-ma-jiggys.
and let me close by saying if any of you have any of these items you would like to sell now for a reasonable price before the market crashes I would be glad to offer my services.
Well, damn. I own the first Melvins vs Minneapolis version. I only wanted to get a copy of the SSB 7", and boy was I glad when I heard they were gonna sell them. Well, screw that, can't spend $70 on this right now.
I'm sure it would have sold out either way. And all the not so wealthy Melvins fans would have been happy. I guess.
I agree with Rev. These things will sell out (pretty fast I imagine too). And really, this isn't "Melvins making another limited release merch to soak the fans". The Melvins vs Minneapolis CDs all sold out, fast. They're reissuing these so people who missed out the first time can get in on the action. Same with the shirts. I assume people will want these, but since they were only available in MN, not too many had a chance. I have the CDs, don't like the shirt, and don't have a turntable, so I'll be passing. And really; this isn't something new. The Melvins have been releasing special limited edition stuff for years and years. All of the Grumpy's 7", limited vinyl in multiple colors, Slim's 8-track, the dolls, lighters, fetus in a jar, etc. Buy it if you want, or don't. As the wise sages in Devo said, "freedom of choice, is what you got."

Where were you during the 48 hours that Amrep sold the 7 inch?
As for the shirt thing, it was initially going to just be for the shows in MPLS, but they didn't get as many printed as they wanted. Buzz just last week OK'ed them to do 100 more, which they are printing to order, by hand, nothing has been printed yet. So look at it this way: Burlesque is printing a multiscreen shirt by hand, and packaging up 100 orders and trying to get them out before the melvins dorks get antsy and pester them with repeated emails about where their orders are. So they just do it as package deals which cuts down on the amount of packages and the actual number of orders they have to worry about before people freak. No one will always be pleased.

Strangely enough, I wasn't online a lot during these days and found the link when they were already sold out. Tough luck I guess. But really, I'm just a little bummed that I missed out the first time, and now that there's actually another chance to get them (which at first I didn't think would happen) I will miss out again. Anyways, just saying. At least I got my Melvins Grumpy's set there so I will stop bitching now.
The Melvins vs Minneapolis cd and Buzzo t-shirts are now available separately on the burlesque website if anyone doesn't want to shell out for the combo.
The antsy Melvins dorks have spoken!
I didn't email Burlesque about it, but I'm pleased to see the shirt is sold seperatly. Ordered.
dammit! i want one!
Cool. But wait.. I want the 7"!! :( Well, I might have to think about getting that shirt instead. Looks nice.
nice that Wes opened it up for us non completeists!
This stuff is bound to happen in the world of the internet. It used to be (not all that long ago) you would have to find this stuff in an indie record shop, at show or by mailorder, now a link pops up and they've sold out instantly. Some times you win sometimes you lose. I think this being the case it's about as fair as it's going to be breaking up the releases to give different people a chance at different times. The only thing that frustrates me is when something is advertised as limited to only x number of copies and then a new run is made later. And I'm not trying to pick on Burlesque, it's cool they split up the packages.
