this will finally bring us a studio version of halo of flies with buzz singing!
it will include just the A. C. cover or more songs?

I think it might just be that 12 minute 'Halo Of Flies'. Although i suppose it would be odd not to put something else on the B side.

haze mentions on FB something along "melvins handed in this EP including a 12min version of halo of flies".
Honestly, I have mixed feelings. (Though, also, I'll take any Melvins I can get). The Jelvins version is one of my favorite covers ever, so I'm not sure I want to hear a Jello-less take. That being said, this is acoustic, so it may be interesting to hear an acoustic take of a fairly operatic tune. Though, this is one of the cool thigns about the melvins. they take chances and will even record the same song multiple times. Country, reggae, and soul artists would also do this from time to time for various reasons, and sometime sit is very cool... and sometimes it is unnecessary. we will see.

1. Halo Of Flies

Im guessing that Outside Chance is a cover of the song by The Turtles.
Yep that sounds like something the Steven McDonald Melvins lineup would cover. :lol:

I'm stressed out just reading about how stressful it is to get one of these fricken things online. :|
The last three Melvins shows I had anxiety over securing online tickets...The last Time I figured to beat em' to the punch and got some tix early for Buzzo and Trev meist and then the next week booom show was cancelled. #-o
Generally I've gotten these limited pressed things directly at the shows...so I only have one or two.
How is it that you have something in your cart and it's gone by the time you pay.. is it just melvins limited stuff that sells out this fast or?
I don't know.
Like, are there automated 'bots' buying stuff or like people buying like a dozen copies at once or something?
Got the bundle but I was surprised how quick everything sold out. People seem to be bored and waiting for this excitement.

According to Haze not. I sometimes buy extra copies for friends to save shipping costs but not this time.
Holy fuck, $50 bucks for just one 10" vinyl plus an entire 3 set for $150... and everything sold out in less than five minutes. How can anyone explain that considering the huge amount of people who have lost their jobs all over the world?

They are expensive - but I will add, that they are not just normal records. They are hand assembled screenprints and look very cool.
I believe the Melvins position is: "We usually put everything out on cheap CD or digital, and if we don't, most things get uploaded to youtube. It's not our public duty to provide low cost vinyl"
Honestly, that argument does hold weight. I think I'm at the point that, if that's what the mevlins have to do to keep being the melvins, I'm ok with it. It is a luxury, for sure.
If you look at it this way, they release about three 10-inchers per year. Each is in an edition of about 400. Each sells for $50. So, 1200 x $50 = $60,000. Subtract costs, and divide between the melvins and Am rep... nobody is buying lambos off of this.
I'd love if they were like $15 each, but frankly, people using spotify etc is exactly what caused this. So, the limited, expensive thing is okay with me I think (so long as I get one!!!!)
Well, first of all, I haven't lost my job, thank God. Second, like I said, it's impressive to see that no matter how expensive they can be, Melvins' AmRep vinyls always sold out in less than 15 minutes. I guess that more than anything, people still have a lot of money to spend even after all the economic disaster caused by COVID-19 worldwide.
The things are all sold out after 1 minute :shock:, sometimes even if you are still paying, unfortunately that is tired.
A lot of people were very fortunate and weren't negatively impacted. I have been lucky to have picked up most of these. Probably just redirected funds from not going to shows at all and going to bars and restaurants a lot less.
I took a paycut but luckily was not out if work last year. Many in my industry were. Even with the paycut, I'm saving on gas and childcare costs and various entertainment so we have been able to save more than before. Lots of folks who aren't directly negatively impacted still have the disposable income and buying online is the only way to spend it generally.
As far as bots, it's possible but I don't think it's too likely. This is not PS5 and the availability window varies so much (3 minutes, 15 minutes, sometimes 2 hours). Whatever site framework shoxop uses, there probably is a sniper software out there for it at a price, but it's probably not worth it. The way Haze does things probably would make it hard to reliably predict the site flow.
But it's not like every single record is scooped up to ebay. I think the scalpers are mostly doing it the old fashioned way, diligent and prepared but live in person.
I am fine with waiting for the $5 CD, or else a later factory version or a marked down "bent corner" one for 30-ish. That's what I did for Mullet, and the re-found Sabbath single.
I got online at the time of sale yesterday, saw they were sold out. Even if they were there, I wouldn't have paid $50 for it.

Maybe they don't do the sets in consecutive numbers and just grab random numbers. I've always thought maybe there were a max of 10 sets. I really doubt they would do 45 of the sets and only have 55 for individual purchase. Yes, we're all crazy and snatch these up fast but all the stories I've heard of people trying to get one of the sets usually say they're gone in less than a minute. I could be totally wrong. I tried for a set only once and they were gone in 30 seconds. I was lucky to back out real quick and get a single copy.
Oh and obey my screen name! I want your 45 😉
At least 54 sets sold

This batch of CDs are cheapy for sure :). All recent AmRep CD of the last several yrs have included text, in that it reads out the artist/album/track on display in my vehicle CD player, or on my TV screen on home system. These are old school CDs, no text. Not complaining, just pointing it out.

I haven't heard the Halo Of Flies one yet but the other tunes weren't quite what i was expecting. They don't sound as acoustic (if that makes sense) as i imagined. 'Honey Bucket' sounds a bit weird in this version too. Not necessarily bad, just a little weird. Unusual i guess.

wow... bad news indeed. even if Amrep puts on the usual low value of good for custom (USD 20) this means 20+60 eligible for tax which means USD 30 tax on top.
btw. Discogs sellers are now required to attach the invoice to the package... so no workaround anymore with setting a low value of good for custom. international record collecting is not fun anymore.
Can't even order a stinking paper clip from the states these days without it costing at least $20 in shipping.
The shipping cost for one $5 USD cheapy CD from AmRep to Chile is around $19 bucks, and that is the standard shipping. Imagine the shipping cost for a 12" vinyl.
Got a refund, first class and priority were identical when I placed my order
