I mean I get it - they probably put them up for pre-sale to gauge how many to make, then they'd move ahead with pressing them. But if the records haven't been made, and if they're planning to pump them all out at once and try to get them out the door.... I dunno. Seems like a recipe for quality control disaster, but then again I don't know shit about how records are normally pressed.

It'll be different in the sense that it is a repress. It probably won't be different or worse in the sense that it will be a reproduction of the first one, but without the potential bonus 7" and the inflation adjusted price. I know vinyl can be done on the cheap, but that isn't what this is. This seems more like gauging interest and then filling orders with a quality product. The only reason I bought any is in the hopes that they would carry forward the bonus 7" tradition. There was a nice little discussion between myself and other board members where we weighed out our complete opened sets and determined the exact weight of a release that had no 7" versus one that did down to the gram. Maybe you should dig up that convo.
