I thought the price was high at first as well- untill I saw the package and talked to one of the districutors and was told that the package costs almost $40.00 to produce- was sold by the label to distributors for $44.00 then add on a 20% distribution fee- and the rest is retail which I don’t mind supporting independent retail-

So more like- $12,000 and Beck is probably getting a standard HFA royalty rate of 18% so again not huge dollars-

But when you see the package you will also understand why it is worth what most of us spend in a bar on a friday- not to mention that it is already sold out and collectors are doubling the price now- in a year we would be lucky to pay $100.

well, normally i wouldn’t buy something as redundant as this and expensive. but i think its so freaking sweet!! and only 3000 copies will make it some-what valuable in the end… plus my father has just offered to pay half of it because he likes to indulge me in the whole ‘music’ thing, just so i dont start playing computer games.. he doesn’t like the “fanatical collecting” (as newt calls it) but w/e i dig it… so i will be purchasing this, so in your faces. ill send you guise pics eventually.

is anyone else irritated at the fact that the jack-ass/where its at segue way will be included on the same side of the vinyl? im kinda hoping that they like,, took that away… i know the whole ‘vinyl scratches’ thing is part of the album, but who knows…

i’ll also be buying the modern guilt vinyl too…..obviously..

have fun u oakies. ill be spinnin’ my one of 3000 copies of odeluxe in a few weeks..

p.s. has anyone seen those new USB turntables? for like 100 bucks you can get this okay BELT DRIVEN turntable that has a usb thingy so u can go directly to ur compy and such, pretty sick if i must say so myself….

I agree. However, Modern Guilt LP for 14 bucks? Yes please.

i tend to agree, actually. despite my penchant for fanatical collecting, i don’t think i will be buying this.

Odeluxe Vinyl - limited to 3,000 copies X $100 each = $300,000.
That’s a bit too much money to be making on 3000 records. I’d pay $45-50 for this set, and even with a 10 percent discount, everybody should stay away.
