ok.. we know that the limited boxset w/belt buckel and comic is clear vinyl that is exclusive to that boxet
what other colors are there? anyone know yet?
I read somewhere there's a white/orange swirl
hydrahead will let us know soon...
Yeah, i'm sure we'll know in the next couple days considering it's set to be released on the 7th. I've been checking their website pretty often and am stoked to find out about them as well.. colored vinyl is my bread and butter ;)

Wow, they look absolutely fucking gorgeous. I'm not much of a vinyl collector, or at least not yet, but something tells me I should start being one.
some of the most beautiful vinyl i've ever seen. I dont know how any Melvins/vinyl fan could say no. Maybe we'll see something similar for NWB in a couple years :lol:
It's funny in a sick way that most likely 90 percent of these records will never be played on a record player.
you play them once to make a digital recording.
then you put them back in the sleeves and let them mature,
like a good wine, then one day, MITROWSKI!!!!!
it's funny in a sick way. who luvs ya? :lol:
Just record the album from the cd, and pretend you recorded the album? :P
the CD probably sounds nicer, though. I dont imagine many people drop all that cash on a colored, etched 4LP just so they can hear ASA - those babies are purely for admiring and collecting IMO.
You'd have to play them at least once to know they're not pressed poorly.

Seriously? Vinyl sounds WAY better than CD. (Mostly on account of the fact that most people's LP systems are better than their CD players, and so the debate goes around and around.)
Anyway, in the age of mp3s, I see no need and feel no desire to buy CDs. The vinyl release becomes the record release event for me, and my vinyl gets played. Moreover, I've noticed that most Melvins albums sound much fuller on vinyl. YMMV.

What did you think of Stag on vinyl?
Unfortunately, I don't have that one.
Only the dark blue/yellow set is available from Hydrahead now.
Still wondering if 'Set 1' was the box set or if another label/retailer is going to have another variation.

I just think that somebody that wants to listen to ASA would be silly to buy a collectors piece of vinyl such as this soley to hear the album. There are benefits of the sound of CDs over vinyl, just like there is the other way 'round. But you're still more or less preaching to the choir - i stopped purchasing CDs long ago.
Also, maybe the mysterious other version of this vinyl will only be sold at shows or something?

Because of lack of money for example.. But I'm still a devoted CD collector, no matter what happens. I think sooner or later I'll get me some more vinyl as well.
i will say that the SQ on this vinyl release is top notch. the 45rpm really helps with the "crunch" of those heavier notes.

Still wondering if 'Set 1' was the box set or if another label/retailer is going to have another variation.
stated by Hydra Head (as seen on themelvins.net):
"This thing is as thick as a book and limited to a one time pressing of 3,000 with over 5 sets of colors in varying numbers of each within that 3,000 pressing, most limited is 100, most available is 1000."
so, there are at least 5 "sets" and they have made sure to list these as "sets" on the sales sight. this would indicate that the box set is one, the 3 listed sets make the count four, and there is one (i presume the limited run of 100) that is unaccounted for. of course, it could just be coincidental they used the word "sets" and they only meant colors - there would be 7 different colors and that would prbly make the transparent blue the run of 100.
i never could get those at Hydra Head to release the pressing numbers of the BB Waterworks vinyl, so i doubt they will for this release either...which i find a bit...well, for lack for a better word, childish. what does it hurt to give out the numbers? as a collector i would like to know for my own notes. oh well...
peace,

I have a feeling the fifth set will be sold on tour. I'm curious about the vinyl colourway for that.

that's what i've been saying, at least i ain't the only one thinking this
on ebay a fellow is selling the blue ones and.... he is probably not a reliable source... he states that the blues were limited to 700... wich is odd... considering they sold out in hours.. is it possible to sell 700 copies of the blue in two hours?
buzz may have got a few hundred to sell on tour

i thought the blue was exclusive only to Hydra Head?
GOT THE BLUE/CLEAR AND PEACH/OLIVE TODAY! there amazing....i almost pee'd my pants
they smartened up by putting the vinyl in its own separate package, separate from the sleeve

QuoteAlso, in case yr curious, the blue color set is limited to 600 sets.

Which are you assuming is 100? Seems more likely to me that there will be a tour-only edition that is 100 and the peach/olive and blue/yellow sets are each 1000.

I agree with you; the known amounts were 1000, 100, 300, and 600, meaning the last was 1000. The tour edition is going to be 100.
Got it. Being that smallest run = 100 and largest run = 1000, you're just filling in the mathematical blanks. My only qualm with this logic is it's Hydra Head feeding us all of this. Notoriously untrustworthy when it comes to any type of information whatsoever.
how many of the clear blue versions were made?
black wax 100 copies
clear-blue wax 600 copies
blue/yellow wax 1000 copies
peach / olive / yellow / blue wax 1000 copies
boxset w/ clear wax 300 copies
got the black wax this week, now i have all 5 versions...
