Melvins Mudhoney AmRep release

[von grip]

I'm guessing  100 of each color?-  200 ?

Black is 150, it's strange

On the Amphetamine Reptile fb page it says there is only 100 black copies.

BUT on the shoxop page it's listed as 150 for the NOIR version

Huh Not sure....I'm just glad I managed to get a copy.

I'm guessing there's a hundred, the other thing was a typo.

The 'edition of 150' was fairly explicit.

However:

Haze's Facebook: "Noir (spot varnish) edition of 100"

AmRep Facebook:  "Sorry they sold out so quick. Please realize it takes us a shitload of time and effort to make 500 copies...."

Bored Facebook:  "Sunday, July 5, 1200 central time. 5 editions, each of 100 all go up at once." - Haze

I figured there were more of them because it was only $40 while the others were $50 and $75

It probably doesn't cost as much to produce regular black vinyl as it does with the records with swirled designs and such. That's just a guess though. I have zero idea how much it costs to have records pressed.

I went for the black because you tend to not see AmRep do much in black now. I jumped on the Buzzo Six Pack early and wish I had waited for the black in that too. Cheaper price was a bonus since the $AUD conversion is shit. I figured most would go for the pack or the glow in the dark. Was surprised to see the black sell out relatively first.

Plus I'm also a fan of the matte and gloss incorporation.

You're both right. Haze says the black was an edition of 150.

Aaaaaaand here they go on eBay....

$105 for the Silver Screen and $180 for the glow in the dark

New here, but not new to the Melvins. This record is so good. A great pair of covers sandwiching two killer original collaborations.

Nice! Welcome, Twatay.

Curious where/what kind of institution "ten minute visitation" refers to? I heard a retirement home on first listen but it could be a jail, mental ward, brothel, maybe? I can't recall any of the lyrics right now.

Would be cool to have dates when it was recorded and who did exactly what.

Would be cool to have dates when it was recorded and who did exactly what.

It was earlier this year. March, I think? Someone had posted a picture on instagram.
