40 bucks seems awfully high for a reissue even if it is colored vinyl.
I think I bought an original pressing/still sealed for 6 dollars off of e-bay including shipping, a couple of year ago. I actually have two as I’m so in love with the album art/Ministry sticker over the eyes (ones for listening, the other is for looking).
Who’s releasing this? Is the only difference the color?
Filth Pig was choking vinyl bins back in the '90s.
This vinyl reissue trend is getting really expensive. I grabbed an original of this for 10 bucks a couple years ago.

Totally agreed.
Super lame.
I also agree. Too expensive, $40 for a vinyl? no thanks. I get what they are trying to do, but, I guess I’m just not into it.
red vinyl… as if they’d do orange
I bought this years ago on ebay for around $25. It’s still sealed and I wouldn’t part with it for less than $50.
As for this whole vinyl thing becoming “expensive” - $40 is nothing. I dropped $120 on ONE album the other day. Some Italian prog from the early 70’s.

Collecting vinyl is better than sex.
And I’ve had plenty of good sex in my lifetime…

Just the regular Filth Pig vinyl or a colored version of Filth pig?
Just the regular.

I suppose if you can afford that luxury, and have no other commitments, then go for it.
The only record collectors I can’t stand are those who moonlight as “social activists” or humanitarians of some kind; who can’t see the hypocrisy in dropping triple-digit sums for rare grooves whilst also claiming they are fighting for the survival of children in Sierra Leone or whatever.
I knew some friends in Canada who claimed to be reduced to tears by the plight of street urchins in India, wishing they could do something to help them, and…I’m left wondering how buying a goddam $400 Albert Ayler record put food in said street urchins’ bellies.
I have no issue with people spending their money however they wish . . . even if they also want to save starving AIDS babies in Darfur from nuclear genocidal transsexual whales or whatever.
And I understand collecting stuff and paying a lot for something rare. But I don’t like the way that these special-release things with colored vinyl or whatever seemingly prey on the OCD collectors. It’s just a damn album.
But run it on a limited press of 50000 and suddenly poor Grumpysmurf has to sell a pint of blood to buy the stupid thing for $50.
It’s manipulation of consumers. I refuse to get caught up in it.

But, yeah, as a businessman, I do respect it.
If someone wants to buy it, obviously demand is there, I just don’t think its worth it. Records are fun, but they don’t necessarily sound better.
New records seem to be around 20 bucks with a cd around 10. I can justify a few bucks but not double in my head.

Wouldn’t it be funny if science discovered a way to talk to whales and understand their “language” in human terms - and it turned out that whales were complete assholes.
Like, they never paid child support and they were anti semitic and abused their spouses and liked kiddie porn and hated gays and thought Hitler was “misunderstood” and never waited in line at the bus stop…
And here’s us poor suckers all along trying desperately, pathetically to save them.

Good question.
I would definitely look for a place that focuses more on “oldies” and stuff of that era than some indie punk shop or something.
I would Yelp whatever place you are considering checking into first. See what others have said who have had similar situations to find out if the place has a reputation of giving people a fair shake or if they are vultures.
And have realistic expectations. You’re going to get maybe 1/3 - 1/2 the value, at most, of what the guy is going to sell the stuff for.
I think a good place to get a bit of a marker regarding the market value of that stuff is to check on Discogs first. Get an idea of what the collection is “worth” if you were to put the items up on Ebay or something. If you total the stuff up and you got about “$900 worth” well, in reality, you might be able to pocket about $300-$400.
If it were me, I would just unload the lot, as I would not want to be burdened with selling all that crap individually.
Anyway, good luck.

For certain genres of music the “limited press” tactic is indeed what you say there, because it implies a greater sense of popularity than what most fringe groups actually enjoy…“ONLY 2,000 copies available!!! Get yours now!!! Limit 2 per customer!!!” I can tell you, having moved in circles that include the least popular expressive forms on the planet, sales of even 500 are a feat to be envied. Most of us who make this stuff are constantly operating at a loss.
And then there’s the principle of artificial scarcity that ‘name’ bands exploit when doing limited editions, which I find even more annoying.

Wait, so if they’re antisemitic, does that mean there’d be a minority of Jewish whales? Yamulkes on top of the blowholes?

HAHA!!! I think we should add this to your movie idea thread. It could be sort of a twist on the classic “Twilight Zone” episode “To Serve Man” theme . . . .
It’ll start with a focus on all the Save-the-Whales activists and then show scientists hard at work on a new technology to translate the whale messages. That’s when we find out that whales are actually, as noted, complete pricks and are looking to bring about some sort of 4th Reich world domination.
So in order to save the human race from extinction we need to destroy all the whales. It’ll be called something really clever . . . . “KILL THE WHALES”.
The script is in the making as we speak. It will be written as a sort of Free Willy in reverse and will star (in no apparent order) : William H. Macy, Ashley Judd, Sissy Spacek, Dennis Quaid, Vanessa Hudgens and the annoying kid actor from Iron Man 3.
It will be shot in a sleepy Maine coastal town and involve an hilarious cgi sequence where a pod of orcas perform the works of Gilbert and Sullivan much to the delight of a bus load of special needs children.
The main (cgi) leader of the “bad guy” humpbacked whales will be voiced by Kirk Cameron.
Oh and Chuck Norris will appear out of nowhere in a fight sequence with Ralph Macchio at the 97 minute mark and then disappear - without so much as a mention from any other cast member.
