I ordered all 3. Everything on back order except dale's. My delivery date is 3/20 - 3/24 on Joe's and Buzz. Will see.
Also, I ordered the Crystal Fairy vinyl from a record shop and they called today to tell me it has been pushed back to mid March. Whats going on? I did buy it on iTunes.
This happens to pretty much every Melvins vinyl release. When vinyl dropped off in popularity 20 years ago, very few albums were produced on vinyl format. The industry reacted to the drop in demand by scrapping pressing plants, even melting down the equipment. As this wave of popularity increases from the recent vinyl comeback, the few pressing plants that remained have been struggling to meet the demand for orders.
the Atlantic ones, the twofers, Basses Loaded etc. are all still pretty widely available from what im seeing.
Crystal Fairy is probably just running behind on reprints (if it has been released at all yet?). not sure about the solo EP's. just a small print run maybe? or maybe just waiting on another run.
sucks that i missed out on Dale for cheap. hopefully BB comes through with the other two i ordered, but im not holding my breath.
