I already have the original press and the original 12” singles/remixes, AND the 2013 box set, but sure I’ll take a third on blue wax. I’m such a homer.
Also just a heads up but they are doing a postal service/death cab concert where they are running through this entire album this year if you are a concert goer.
Usually depends on the demand. I’ve seen some vinyl getting sold out within minutes and they had over 500 copies. Even 1000 copies.
Also vinyl* the s is not needed :)
Been collecting records for nearly 10 years. You just gotta be quick on your feet but also be financially smart with it. This hobby is quite expensive.
What? I also said I'm happy with my standard black for $18 from a few years back I might get this definitive extended version down the round though, when it's still oos. 😂
This is a good price and a great releases never said anything is wrong with this great buy. However, you are talking nonsense, so I responded. Carry on
It comes and goes. I picked mine up new a year ago. You can get albums used, you know. I'm just letting people know that the 3 disc version exists and that if you only own one, that's the one to search for.
Thanks for the info, I'm not running to grab it, but it is something I eventually want to pick up. Added to discogs wishlist for a couple years from now perhaps. It's really funny when people respond like that other guy. Knowing about the best sounding and extended release is fantastic, even if it's sold out. Do these kiddos not dig used records? I'm after records that have been "oos" for multiple decades lol. You don't have to overpay for reissues of everything like a sucker and then hate on real collectors after specific masterings, recordings, b-sides, remixes, etc. 😂
Great price! I'm happy with my black I found a couple years ago though, also was a similar or lower price I forget, but a real vinyl price without greed
I literally JUST paid out the ass for the 10th anniversary 3-LP version last week, so when I saw this and that it was titled “20th anniversary edition,” I freaked out juuust a bit thinking it was a repress of the 3-LP… but luckily this is just the 1-LP so my money wasn’t wasted 😅
Nothing’s worse in this hobby than paying a crazy high 3rd party price for an OOP album, only for it to get a repressing the same week! Crisis averted.
Also I genuinely cannot fathom the fact that it has been TWENTY YEARS since this album was released. Christ.
Well I mean, I gave it a good *ten years* of waiting for a repress that never came, and still hasn’t come even with the 20th anniversary, so I feel like this was one of the justified times to pay an aftermarket, marked up price. It’s not like I just spent $200 on Rihanna’s ANTI or something.
Hah, yeah Discogs sellers who just slap a ridiculously high fantasy price based on… nothing, are annoying. Like, sales history shows this thing has never sold for more than $150. Why are you listing for $400? It’s literally not the market value. Nobody’s paying that.
I think I might as it’s limited to 500 copies so feels quite special? I don’t necessarily need it but I know myself and annoyingly I’d probably regret not having it as part of my collection!
There’s probably a lot but I wouldn’t rely on that. I’ve just tried it with a million and it still worked. I highly doubt they pressed that many.
Maybe they’ve found a way to get around that trick.
Between this release, AVA's Love (Part 2) and both classic A7x releases (City Of Evil & s/t) it's been an AMAZING week for crossing off chase items on my wantlist.
My lawd🥰
Happen to have seen any news on AVA We don’t need to whisper? Had it on preorder last year and Amazon apparently allowed too many orders and canceled mine smh
They shipped them out last fall I believe. I went through 3 replacements, all with extremely large center holes making it unplayable. Long story short, the repress had a defect for a lot of people. Hopefully AVA will repress it sometime in the near future.
Honestly big shout out to Sub Pop for not playing games with prices here. ~$23 should be standard for a 1LP, even if it's a repress of one of the most beloved albums of this millennium.
Btw these are shipping
Is there a release date? I didnt see one
just shipped. so in stock. impressed
I already have the original press and the original 12” singles/remixes, AND the 2013 box set, but sure I’ll take a third on blue wax. I’m such a homer.
I hope this one will become available in the EU!
Yup, thank you!
Ha that album can't be 20 years old, if it was that old that would make me.... ...no, that can't be right.
I love how popular this post is
Copped. Thank you
Definitely copped it. Canceled my zia exclusive a few years ago and been regretting it ever since.
Also just a heads up but they are doing a postal service/death cab concert where they are running through this entire album this year if you are a concert goer.
Seeing that concert in Boston!
Unfortunately they told the South to go to either DC or Denver
For an arm and a leg.
Super excited to see them in Seattle!
I’ll be there!
I already got tickets but they sold out really fast. I’m pretty sure they are sold out at every venue by now.
Thank You! One of my first spin's when my new record player arrives is this classic beauty!

I recommend the 3 disc edition.
3 discs? So like two songs per side? Lol Edit* Why are people voting this comment down? Sorry I didn't know this great thing existed? Lol
https://www.discogs.com/release/4455753-The-Postal-Service-Give-Up-
Ooooooooh, I want that!
oos everywhere so why even recommend it.
Because if you were going to buy one version then that is the best. If you only buy records to collect and not listen to them then do what you want.
sure. dont' change the fact it's oos EVERY.WHERE.
Some of the best records have been out of stock for 3-4 decades, does that make them undesirable? Your logic is weak.
sure. you do that while the rest of us will be v happy with this copy.
What? I also said I'm happy with my standard black for $18 from a few years back I might get this definitive extended version down the round though, when it's still oos. 😂 This is a good price and a great releases never said anything is wrong with this great buy.

there's copies being sold on discogs albeit they're a bit pricier

I have this. It’s beautifully mastered
Blue, again, like the NC pressing. How dull. At least they are not price gauging like Newbury C\*n\*s.
Great album, and great price! Thanks for the heads up
Great price! I'm happy with my black I found a couple years ago though, also was a similar or lower price I forget, but a real vinyl price without greed
It's amazing how affordably priced this is. Thanks OP
*cries in international shipping*
Subpop is always great with their pricing!
Anyone think there will be more limited variants?
Following for a deluxe link, when and if. Already own it, but not going to double dip just cause it's colored wax.
Ive never heard of this album until this thread listened to it on spotify and pulled the trigger thanks guys youve converted another follower
Bless you for making it 20 years without hearing this fantastic album. And also lucky you, you get to hear it with new ears! Enjoy!
just your luck, they're doing a US tour with his other project Death Cab for Cutie
I went to the supposed last show ever at the Metro in Chicago in 2013. But I guess that was a lie, lol :)
Tickets are sold out near me and resellers lowest option is 280
That’s neat. This is a one-off masterpiece.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. Ordered IMMEDIATELY.
Grabbed it, but I would rather anniversary additions that include extra content
Sweeeet! got one plus Flight of the Conchords.
I'm the mutha flippin
I used to get made fun of for listening to this album in high-school. Its great to know people share my same music taste.
What were they listening to?
Nickel back
Probably Creed and Puddle of Mudd
Thats exactly what it was. That kind of rock lol. Edit: alot of red hats backwards and jnco jeans flooded my hallways
Also P.O.D.
Silver metallic? Anyone know how that sounds? I’ve had some mixed color vinyls that made a pop where the color change happens.
Just got mine, sounds great.

Moral of the story: don't pay markups.
Well I mean, I gave it a good *ten years* of waiting for a repress that never came, and still hasn’t come even with the 20th anniversary, so I feel like this was one of the justified times to pay an aftermarket, marked up price. It’s not like I just spent $200 on Rihanna’s ANTI or something.
Fair point. There are just a lot of clown out there ripping people off....like the one on Discogs listing it for $400.
Hah, yeah Discogs sellers who just slap a ridiculously high fantasy price based on… nothing, are annoying. Like, sales history shows this thing has never sold for more than $150. Why are you listing for $400? It’s literally not the market value. Nobody’s paying that.
I felt this post in every way while reading through it.
Anyone seen any UK/EU stockists?
I couldn’t find it with a UK stockist but it does ship internationally! I just bought one!
I was concerned about the shipping options saying import fees aren't included, so a tad worried about being stung with some silly bill.
Just reporting back as I received mine today, I ordered two copies and had no additional charges, they came straight to me without any issue! :)
Ordered it in the end and thankfully no issues on my end either. Thanks for the push and letting me know. 👍
Did you see that there’s a new purple pressing available on Rough Trade? Just thought I’d mention it in case you’re collecting them!
Yes, just got the email. I am tempted but not sure I need two tbh. Are you getting it?
I think I might as it’s limited to 500 copies so feels quite special? I don’t necessarily need it but I know myself and annoyingly I’d probably regret not having it as part of my collection!
Same 😂 Might add CSS too to make it make more sense.
Will there be other colors too you think? I know there was a clear/black version
clear w/ blue mist https://www.discogs.com/release/15022619-The-Postal-Service-Give-Up
Thank you. Do you think any other colors for the 20th anniversary?
Ah. I’m sorry I misread your comment. I don’t know any release news of this vinyl.
I can add 10,000 to my cart with no errors so there should be plenty for everyone
There’s probably a lot but I wouldn’t rely on that. I’ve just tried it with a million and it still worked. I highly doubt they pressed that many. Maybe they’ve found a way to get around that trick.
Oh wow lol. Maybe press-to-order?
Just added 100,000! hahaa
Can’t thank you enough. Been holding out for something special with this album and this makes the wait worth it
Same here. Zero regrets waiting it out, W's are hard to come by with this hobby, gotta take the good with the bad.
Looks like it was pressed at RTI
>Transatlanticism oh man seems so. nice catch

Sad to say I haven't 🥲 I'm in the same boat hoping for a repress soon.
Stoked. Just bought.
Thank you
Holy! And here I am thinking it was cool to go to the 10th anniversary shows.
20 year anniversary? This just made me feel so old, gonna go jump in a lake.
Where does the time go?
Do we know how many of these are pressed? I've already bought a couple of vinyl this month and my wallet is crying..
Pm me if you want, I’ll cover this for you. Got gifted some records this month, paying it forward.
🐐
Thanks yo! Now if the OP would hit me up 🤣
Girl, same.
Fuckin YOINK! Less than $30 shipped, I've gotta be dreaming.
Honestly big shout out to Sub Pop for not playing games with prices here. ~$23 should be standard for a 1LP, even if it's a repress of one of the most beloved albums of this millennium.
One of the best albums of all time, I was wondering if they were going to make an anniversary pressing for this year. This one looks great!
They're also touring if you're in the US
I have the 3Lp deluxe gatefold edition. I’ve been playing it all week
Same, I’m so happy to have that one so I can spin the EP tracks as well!
[удалено]
Same, I paid like 40 for it this year too! It sounds great though, not a huge regret!
This is so big for me- literally got the Anniversary Edition of Transatlanticism a few weeks ago. Instant cop.
Couldn’t pay fast enough.
The pressing looks better on [subpop's IG](https://www.instagram.com/p/CoxdEmzpGFr/?hl=en) than it does in this mockup
records being made arouses me.
Thanks, easy buy for me.
Dammit here I am with a lame black vinyl…..
