If I'm pre-ordering it, I shouldn't see it in stores almost a month before I receive my copy. I legit stopped pre-ordering vinyl because of this LP back in May when I saw the box set in stores for $20 cheaper than what I paid with the pre-order, and weeks before I ever received my pre-order copy in the mail. This all just feels like a shitty sales tactic, and exemplifies why I no longer pre-order vinyl records. I'd bet most of the other people who purchased the deluxe version would have held off and waited for the standard version as well. Had there been any indication whatsoever that this album would eventually get a standard single LP release on vinyl, I would have never bought the deluxe version. I'm mad that it's getting a standard pressing nine months after the official release date, and 9 months after the artist & label shit all over their pre-order customers who actually sprung for the box set version because they felt it would be the only official pressing of this album. I'm not mad that this album is getting a standard pressing. Now we're literally 9 months post the initial release date, and we're finally getting a standard version? Not to mention that they clearly produced an ungodly amount of the box set versions, because they are readily available just about everywhere for about $35-$40. The final price was still being determined based on the final contents of the box set version. When the pre-order first went up, they didn't even have a set-in-stone price for the product yet. That was the ONLY official vinyl version available. We only got the option for the deluxe 45 RPM version. We didn't get a pre-order option for a deluxe AND a standard 33 RPM version. There were no indications that we'd get a standard single LP 33 RPM pressing of this album when it was first released, so folks who really wanted this on vinyl were forced to drop over $65 on the deluxe version if they pre-ordered. Please don't cherry pick parts of the sentence and tell me what I was saying.
