I wonder if it's the artwork and design that's selling the product or the format.

When I saw it I wanted to buy it simply to look at, not to play. As someone who grew up in the era of vinyl I prefer the music on CD.

My thoughts exactly....LP's are beautiful to look at but I'd never want to play one (again)
If that makes any sense ?

It might also have to something to do with being really low quantity.

They're going to repress it later in the year, for those who missed it.


Vinyl is fine I guess, a cool collector's item or hip status thing, some actually just love it, which is fine.

But as others have said, I grew up with the LP, and have absolutely no desire to ever buy another one. But hey, it's great for those who are into it.

But hey at least this means a CD release is possible I guess.

They seem to never say the print count. But if you run a 500 print of almost anything with a cool artwork it will sell out, selling out in itself does not mean much. But I think Waxworks has everything to do with packaging, and that is mostly why people have always bought LP, nothing has changed. It remains and always will remain inferior in terms of sonic quality.

Bought the deluxe because I'm a huge sucker.

Damn, the belt drive on my Marantz turntable just broke.
Ironically, I was listening to GrandMaster Flash, and no, I wasn't 'scratchin'

And scalpers who'll be stuck with worthless stock after this fad fades away.

Wow, that sure was nice of them to track down and refund the flippers—especially considering their mission is to ensure that a copy makes its way to the home of anyone and everyone who wants one.

I'm just sitting here hoping that we get everything written for the movie on CD sometime soon. The Buysoundtrax version is good, but I want both!

Interesting. What legal basis do they have to do this? I mean, if I buy cookies at the store, I don't expect them to come take them back if I decide to resell them at a lemonade stand.

And I say this as somebody who neither flips LPs (in any sense of that) nor sells lemonade.

I was wondering that myself. But upon further reflection, I assume that they told the would-be flippers that they were going to repress the title immediately, and then made them an offer they couldn't refuse--sell back your excess copies at cost, or risk them not selling on eBay at all.
