In the U.S. it's pretty much standard practice again. It's not just an indie band thing. Examples:
Lady Gaga - The Fame
Lady Gaga - The Fame Monster
Ke$ha - Animal
Christina Aguilera - Bionic
Katy Perry - One of The Boys
My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade
Fall Out Boy - Folie a Deux
Weezer - Red Album
Weezer - Raditude
Twilight Soundtrack
The Flaming Lips - Embryonic
Muse - The Resistance
Paramore - Riot!
The Lonely Island - Incredibad
Eminem - Relapse
Black Eyed Peas - The Beginning
Black Eyed Peas - The E.N.D.
Owl City - Ocean Eyes
Rihanna - Disturbia
Standard practice.

A handful of the most absolute best selling major releases over the last 3 years is hardly standard practice

Re: Vinyl Record Scarcity
The fact that they are on major labels is the reason for their success in the first place. Did you really want him to list every album that has been released on vinyl in the last few years? Anyway, not all of them are true "hits", and besides, I've seen a lot of strange (new) vinyl at my local record stores, and a lot of repressing lately (think random stuff that wasn't a hit 20 years ago).
And, I don't think ''Incredibad'' has even gone gold yet. Al's last release went gold pretty quickly and he's on a major label.

Re: Vinyl Record Scarcity
I haven't seen any vinyl albums around here, really. Maybe Best Buy but haven't seen em there either. Shame, cause I'd buy some.minnick27 wrote:I have several copies of In 3-d because every time somebody sees it they buy it for me.

Re: Vinyl Record Scarcity
Update, I finally got a copy of "Even Worse" on vinyl.
I walked into my local used record store and heard "Velvet Elvis" playing faintly in the background somewhere, so I searched the store until I found the LP being played on a record table, with the art and inserts proudly hung up. I promptly asked how much it was, and a clerk told me $2.58, which I consider a steal. It was awesome, and it made my day.

Re: Vinyl Record Scarcity
Nice to see another Al fan around here.
How old was that last signature? I mean, really?
