Thin Lizzy, Dinah, and Waylon now all add-to-cart-able. $77 out the door for all 3 or swap one for another ROTM. This sale keeps pulling me in.

Unrelated it's interesting for the "if you liked" artists for death grips are...
Clipping, totally can see it at least for the very beginning with stuff like wriggle or CLPPNG but since splendor & misery they've been doing their own unique horror movie like raps
Swans, which I totally get in terms of being artsy but heavy and praised by fantano but swans are much more patience testing (multiple over 2 hour long album), less of an immediate id factor in favour of a more hypnotic nightmare.. maybe if we were talking about government plates
And SpaceGhostPurrp, which maybe I'm not seeing right but his artsy old school Memphis sound (or chopped and screwed mixtape veneno.. or that one DJ mix which was his old songs made in Miami speed rap) don't really fit with death grips

So, we're starting to bundle shit that won't sell...and charging $110 for it? Do I have this right?

It's such a weird concept. Like even at $27.50 a record, how are you going to find someone that definitely wants all 4 albums in a bundle?

I get the cynicism, but they're doing a pop-up at all the tour stops so it makes sense to hype it up a bit. And, yeah, this does sell a couple albums in each bundle of which they have extra stock. If nothing else, it shows they're aligned with Courtney's tastes by already having this many exclusives/variants of these artists.
That is right. It's a tour support thing, likely arranged at the request of or in collaboration with Courtney's team.
Not too hard to get past the cynicism and see this as valid. No one is having it shoved down their throats. I can't believe that this is being posted and knocked mere minutes after the VMP email was sent to members. Slow day at work I guess.

I think they’re working on finding a creative way to get rid of stock for sure. I kind of expected the discount to apply though. $75 probably would get more bites.
Sure. And there's nothing wrong with that. Retailers across the globe do that regularly.
Anyone who has experience of retail, in vinyl or otherwise, knows that when ordering stock, it can be a crapshoot. There are obvious monster sellers but also many where demand is hard to predict.
No one knocks a retailer publicly for carrying some items that don't sell as well as others. That's what sales and promos are for.

Already ordered both of these. I really wish they would they would drop all variants of every album all on the same day.On The Ranch

Glad to see that despite the role changes over the years, his penchant for run-on sentences remains!

Already picked up the two Meters albums, Aretha, Irma Thomas, Boogaloo Joe Jones, and a few other restocks - Orchestra Baobab, O.S.T., Run DMC.
But there are a few I've got my eye on, including the Willie and Hopkins.
