ThehushSound Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I got my copy of Dawn FM (collector's edition 1) as well as my copy of The Gods We Can Touch today! I also still have another copy of Magic Still Exists on its way, Two Signed copies of Sigrid's album(may have accidentally ordered the second copy while high not realizing I already had a signed copy ordered ), I also finally caved and spent some money on a copy of Nikki & the Dove's Everybody's Heart is Broken now, and its on its way as well. Also I finally got around to taking what I didn't want of my dad's collection to the local record store and got $425 for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m so impatient, it’s only been a few days lol. We won! I ordered from Best Buy. I had a $5 rewards thing saved, and it conveniently got me the vinyl a couple dollars below retail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

storminthedark Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 They're mainly using Harry as clickbait lol but this is a tad concerning it seems like any release that doesn't fit their established tools they already have access to are going to be delayed even longer because of the situation in Ukraine...standard black only for most releases here we come Quote Putin’s export ban threatens Harry Styles’ vinyl album release and other music launches The booming vinyl record business is facing a massive slow down following a spike in the price of raw nickel, which plays a crucial role in the LP manufacturing process, since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Russia exports most of Europe’s nickel. But the price has soared by 250 per cent since March as supplies dwindle. The London Metal Exchange was forced to suspend dealing in the metal when a trading frenzy forced the price to record highs. Acutely aware of the West’s demand for nickel, also an essential element in electric car batteries, President Putin has already banned 200 raw materials Russia from being exported in retaliation for EU oil sanctions. While nickel has been kept off the list – for now – it is taken as implicit that any further deterioration in relations between Russia and the West is likely to see it added. The vinyl industry needs nickel for electroplating, a process which creates the A and B-side metal stampers for a record when the “master lacquer” is dipped into a nickel bath. Blockbuster new album releases threatened by the shortage include Harry Styles’s Harry’s House, released on May 20 and expected to be the biggest vinyl seller of the year. His record label Sony hopes to press up to 500,000 copies for the global release. LPs by Liam Gallagher and George Ezra could also be affected along with hundreds of limited edition titles, by artists ranging from Stevie Nicks to The Rolling Stones, due to be delivered to independent outlets for Record Store Day on June 18. The UK ships most of its vinyl from Germany, due to a lack of domestic pressing plants. Speakers Corner Records, a leading German vinyl manufacturer, warned: “Nickel is needed for electroplating and is supplied here in Europe mainly by Russia. On 8 March, nickel prices rose by more than 100% and trading was completely suspended worldwide.” “This means that vinyl pressing plants can no longer process lacquers or produce new pressing tools. In practice this means: no new releases, re-pressings only of existing tools as long as this situation continues.” The company warned customers that “a period of about eight months must be expected between order and delivery from the pressing plant.” The Wall Street Journal warned of the threat to supplies in an editorial, headlined Russia Can Hold Nickel Hostage. Nickel prices began to soar before the Ukraine invasion. “Uncertainty about sanctions and worries that Russia would block exports drove prices even higher and caused what’s known as a short squeeze,” the paper said. There are concerns that the world’s richest person, Elon Musk, will corner the market in the nickel still available. Traditionally used to make stainless steel, Nickel is a key component in the lithium-ion batteries the Tesla CEO wants to power his electric vehicles. However, even before the nickel crisis, a shortage of PVC and products for sleeve production meant that the limited number of operational vinyl presses were already overloaded.

However, I do think it’s funny how a ton of albums that were OOS/OOP (Isolation, Hot Pink, SOUR, etc.) have had re-pressings recently and they were all color pressings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
