oh my god, that was so annoying! i wanted to virtually smack her

I found this on google, the obi looks pretty cute IMO.
And when checking on discogs, this version is valued at max. €120, compared to the 'standard' cream vinyl at max. €57

Ah okay, it makes sence for them to just unseal a copy, add the obi, and than put it in another sleeve. It is kinda disappointing tho 
 
 

please girl my anxiety can't take this omg I don't want to die before hearing it I never thought about that 

Every time an artist I love releases a new album I'm afraid I'll suddenly die and never hear it. Am I the only one? 

The way this perfect post makes me feel understood and accepted 

Ok so I did some investigating
 
I looked this version up and it's still available from Assai. Looking at the discogs, the one for €120 came with a tote that was only included with the first 100 orders so that's probably why they paid so much. I also found that the description of the most recent one sold says that it comes in a resealable packet, which will probably be the same as the chemtrails one.
 
If it just comes in a resealable packet that's kind of disappointing because it seems less official, but at the same time I'm fine with it because I want to frame it and it will probably look better without plastic wrap and it will be nice to be able to play the vinyl instead of keeping it sealed. 
 
 
It still says sold out for me, maybe it was just one copy?
 
Edit: nvm 2 copies in stock

Respectfully, I don't think most Lana fans speak/read Japanese, so I'm not sure any of this is that deep. It's just nice to have a limited collectible from this era. I own another artist's vinyl (Yaeji) that came with a limited OBI and it looks really nice, even if it's just decorative.

Assai was clearly in partnership with Polydor for this, so it's real and authorized, even if the language is incorrect. People are buying it because it's a unique, hand-numbered collectible variant, not because they want to learn how to read the phrase "Chemtrails Over the Country Club" in Japanese off of it.

its literally no different than any of these other variants that have unique packaging other than the fact its limited, which makes me think some people are salty about it
 

 

actually this just appears to be common to this individual webstore. they seem to have a thing with their limited editions where they create obi strips - it's not just a lana thing. if the translation is bad...well, i mean,  its a UK produced vinyl, and i guess the company are just a bit weeb-y and like doing japanese editions. i can understand why they would chose to do japanese designs on an aesthetical level.
 
its still a different variant unfortunately. i know some people are salty about this version but this is literally no different to walmart putting a sticker on the front of their picture disc or sound of vinyl putting a card sleeve around theirs. saying "it's fake" is a bit rude rather than "this is just an independent stores way of making their product unique to them".
 
if all the other retailers can have custom stickers and strips what's so bad about this? people just particularly seem to be salty that its hand-numbered. the people on reddit need to stop putting this version down bc they didn't get one 
 

Definitely... and in all honestly I think she deserves it, especially considering ALL other artists doing exactly the same thing, if not worse. So, yeah, coins coins coins coming in for Lana too

Maybe we've written so many pages because she's dropping so many versions of the same album... I never thought she'd actually do that, haha. Maybe the label is trying to make earnings from album sales instead of tour tickets because of the pandemic?

The fact the NFR merch thread only got 6 pages in almost two years and this one has already reached over 100 in less than two months 

Snagged the Assai vinyl on eBay for a semi-stupid amount, but I Must Be Stupid for Being So Happy It was the cheapest one from a reputable seller. Don’t really like participating in the price gouging reseller game, but I couldn’t resist 

I wonder if the yellow vinyls will be different from each other? Probably not but imagine  I wonder which yellow mockup is true to the actual color? The yellow obi is the same light yellow as the original yellow mockup but that other site also showed that mustardy bright yellow shade 

Most of the times it all depends how far you live from the retailer also! Usually they ship pre-orders a few days before so they're sure it arrives on the same day the album is out. So if you live in another country it may take longer but if you're near and lucky enough it could arrive also a day earlier

It’s a collector thing, hard to explain but it would make us sick if we didn’t get it  also the fact that it’s hand written numbered makes it hella wanted 

its a nice edition to have, and a lot of collector's really appreciate japanese editions even if they're unlimited. it's often fun seeing how they go about translating the titles and incorporating their language into the graphic design. japanese cd's are commonly collected for this reason.
