Rip off.

Fucking thing has only been out two weeks!

Might as well buy 4 copies from a record shop for that price and take pot luck on one being a pic disc.

[prisoner]

with black stars and a coloured spot with the title of the tune.

Id say they are picture discs, more than just white coloured vinyl.

I'd like to add that what Mala has done is quite clever. First there were rumors of a limited pressing and the anticipation became H U G E.
People went crazy and many ordered 2-3 copies from different stores just in case the triple pack became sold out just from pre-orders.
Following the album release people realized there are still available copies on every on-line record store, so then even more people ordered a second or third copy to be able to sell on discogs or ebay for a high price later on.
Most of them didn't open the shrink-wrap at first just to able to sell at a higher price in the future.

And here is the clever part:

Mala has secretly produced 200 white picture discs so now everyone is unpacking their second, third (or forth!!??) copies just to check if they got a white pic release.
Which means that there is probably not a single bought release still in shrink-wrap today.

If that wasn't the case I believe that next year a "second hand shrink-wraped" copy of RIIS would easily sell around £200 which is ridiculous to me.

Anyway, big up Mala. My thought is that this could serve as a dissertation in Music Business, specially now-days with everyone being so used to piracy and this being a vinyl only release that people buy like hot bread.

On the other hand the white pic discs are on sale for £70 a month after release date , so go figure. Interesting times..

It isnt difficult to shrink wrap a record. lots of nefarious people re wrap products and sell them as "new"

I don't think Mala put that much thought into the opening of shrink wrap. I think he just wanted to do something special.

[grunt]

I still have a shrink wrapped copy, For personal use though. Not too fussed on the picture discs, would be great but im just glad that i got some copies really.
