by the way.  nice pics reaper. i had a great time.  i can't believe they were selling "THE END" for a hundred fucking dollars though.  i don't know about these Melvins.  i hope everybody is boycotting that shit.  $100 for an album???  that's some eBay shit, don't do that to yr fans even if they're dumb enough to buy it.  what does Buzz have a kid on the way now?

take a look at THE END nihilist reissue thread.  its an all hand silk screened new package with a hand silk screened anti-LP.  40 total printed.
I'm not sure if that justifies the price or not but when you see it it makes the sting a little less.

and I think the statement "thats some eBay shit" has alot to do with it.  the creators of items like this intend for it to get into the hands of collectors, not entrepreneurs.

you make a good point.  but i still think it's them taking advantage of the fans in the end.  :shock:

This is a blatant "limited" bullshit release.  Kinda like Garth Brooks and his "limited" million


you're right. the only difference is 999,960 records.

you sure are slow cowboy.
How many the End cassettes were made?...100?

How many LP 's of the END were printed? 500?

The RIP OFF edition-40..

pretty limited there genius.

FACT- This is the HIGHEST priced MELVINS release EVER next to the Mackie 13-cd set which is well worth the $200 clams. :shock:

Get real. dude.  The album does not even play!!


rictus

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't it come with the original LP that is playable, and the antiLP that is not.

Jeez buy it if you want it, if you don't then don't buy the damn thing. Who cares what they sell or for what price. Buzz should shellac some of his dogs shit and sell them for Melvins paperweights for all I care.  Actually that would be kinda cool, they used to sell more oddities.

The Melvins didn't ask for this specific release.  Here's what happened.  The guy at Enterruption releases the first tapes with the melvins ok, sends the melvins a bunch of the tapes, everything is ok.  Guy thinks he can make more money with the same release, presses it on vinyl, sends the melvins a bunch of copies to legitimize it, and makes a lot of money.  This guy has a bunch of the records left over, which he planned on selling himself after it supposedly sold out, but figured he could make more money by having an artist paint over the record and selling them for a high price.  If he had 300 records to sell for himself, at a price of $30 each, that's $9000.  If he sold 220 at the $30 price, that's $6600, plus 20 (his to keep of the new release) times $150 equals $3000.  Total profit for the guy at Enterruption is $9600, before expenses, assuming he had 300 to sell for himself.

Y'all probably already stole this show off the internet anyway, quit bellyaching.

It's a grab for more money by the guy from Enterruption.  It's not wrong or right, that's just what it is.

I never said the price was good or bad.  I'm a poor fucker. so $150 is alot of money to me.

but when you see this package in your hands it makes more sense.

how much did the MELVINS poster set go for recently?
