Todd Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 You no longer have to pay $60 to buy this online! Just $10 at 1-2-3-4 Go! Records http://1234gorecords.com/turnitaround/the-longshot-love-is-for-losers-7-picture-disc
Paola17 Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 Bought it! I am not necessarily lacking funds, but I also don't have an excess amount of them... It's amazing how much power these men hold over me/us.
Yosuke Hanamura Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 Still wish they'd release the full album on Vinyl or CD.

bass boy Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 Woo, wasnt able to buy anything at the Longshot concert so im pretty stoked on this. Ordered!

IcyMoffatt Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 I have no money to buy it and nothing to play the 7". But I want one! Do you guys think we will ever have a cd format?

I'm going to quote Adam Savage: «I reject your reality and substitute my own.» I want a cd format! I don't want a vinyl! My turntable is from the 1970s, is crap and will break the vinyl.
Hermione Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 18 hours ago, Todd said: Doubt it. CDs aren’t popular anymore. It sucks though because I have every other Green Day and side project album on CD so the Longshot is missing from the collection. I'd use it too.... I just play a crappy one I burned instead and as yet haven't given them any of my money. I understand they're a lot less popular now but I think out of the small number of people who know about/are fans of the Longshot a significant number of them would buy a Love Is For Losers CD, it's nice to have a physical copy/lyric booklet and vinyl always costs more. Oh well.
Todd Posted July 1, 2018 Author Posted July 1, 2018 Unfortunately, since CDs are less popular, now when they do make them, they house them in those shitty digipaks or just paper sleeves to save costs.

True! And usually not much of a booklet if there is one at all. Shame though because I like to have a physical copy and vinyl is a pretty expensive alternative (not to mention useless without spending more on a record player). I guess vinyl is filling the demand for a physical copy for now but it's not ideal, maybe they'll come up with something else. I'd rather pay for a digital copy with a cool lyric/artwork booklet at a lower/equal to a CD price. But for now bands that don't put out CDs will just miss out on my money

IcyMoffatt Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 @Hermione I so agree with you. I love to have physical copy of an album. But vinyls are expensive, big, difficult to travel with and you need a very good turntable that is not going to scratch the album. CDs are cheaper, small, easy to travel with, they can go in multiple machines to be played and they have cool booklets and lyrics pages. And anyway, most of my music collection is composed of cds. (I have a few cassettes, but none from GD.) The Longshot better have a cd format or they will not get my money.
Hermione Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 I'm not saying don't buy it in protest or anything , just to be clear. I'm just so used to waiting for a CD to pay for an album so if I already have a download and then there's only a pricey vinyl available...it might end up that I don't pay for that album . I know a lot of people are into buying vinyl so it's cool it's coming out.
Insomniac1984 Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 Certainly, I didn't buy Love is for losers because I've waited for a CD version. I would like the same for Longshots' EP, although I bought them digital in FLAC.

I'm not protesting. The fact is I'm short on money right now and I don't see why I should buy the album in a vinyl format if I can't use it. I would rather put my money on something I can use and enjoy like a cd format.
Paola17 Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 Anyone else still waiting on their shipping confirmation?
