that way the elitists get to remain elitist and resell their extra copy to reclaim what they spent
originally. theres no other argument for it

My main problem stems from the fact that I don't think people care about original pressings enough in general. But hey, now we're entering to the realm of pure subjectivity...

No don't get me wrong I don't doubt him, I actually don't think I ever have. However, just saying "I recommend you to wait" I don't think qualifies as a confirmation per se.

i mean this time last year when i was talking to mdg he mentioned that "the new album is on its way" but did i make a thread about it? no. why? because it was ambiguous.
mdg has said a lot of ambiguous things in his time, and going raving mad over this is pointless
also i wouldn't sell him out like that damn, they're called private messages for a reason

As far as topics that are worthy of creating a new thread go, I would say this ranks highly compared to most.

People do care about original pressings, or maybe not original but at least old, now that people like 4Men or Rhino are pressing reprints from digital masters. But luckily these old pressings (Wire, New Order, etc.) are usually not too rare or expensive.

Seriously, I'm not saying there won't be vinyl represses. But you guys don't understand the meaning of the word "confirmation."

a lot of time represses are lower quality. perhaps not on the vinyl side, but generally the packaging.
sucks getting lower grade vinyl too. geo seems like its on 180g vinyl. SOLID...nice. i got in a beautiful, thin shitty vinyl. plays like crap and has a pink chip in it. probably scrap from another press of something that jumped into the pressing. got lucky and found a white label promo copy. 180g...FLAT and awesome sounding.
there CAN be value in a first pressing. dont discount it. but if they repress...dont pass it up. may not happen again.
