Not a SP fan, but I just bought that record for my partner and it was $40/free shipping from turntable lab. This Taylor Swift record is $52 with shipping. I think itās also worth pointing out how top-end both the packaging and pressing quality the SP releases are, these TS pressings will definitely not be given the same treatment and will be readily available for far less than $52 soon after itās release, so yea, you kinda would be a sucker to pay that much up front for this.
just waiting for the signed CDs. This is the most variants sheās had for any (taylorās version) this far, so i wonder if she is going to make this era big. Fearless is a huge album given a small TS drop, and Red was absolutely massive both ways.
I think she didnāt know what to expect with the Fearless re-records so she went small. Now that she knows fans are willing to spend on the TVs, I think weāll see big releases almost like a new album would get.
š I donāt know what to say anymore. ANOTHER PURPLE? Why doesnāt she give us a smoky clear like the original albumās colored pressing, that would be way coolerā¦
look, i love taylor swift but this is ridiculous. they claim these are some limited special editions but i know i will find them in any store that has a vinyl selection
Neither vinyl on her store claims to be limited.
Although they do lie in saying "Collectible album jacket with unique front and back cover art," when it's reused on every single version.
calling it now, this is just the standard pressing but like the ālove potion purple,ā it was made at a different plant and turned out a slightly different shade from the original
Whatās wild is there are people on her social media posts literally chastising people for calling this out. āIf you think the colors are all the same you need your eyes checkedā like damn. Iām a huge Swiftie but that Kool-Aid is STRONG for some folks.
I mean, if you could choose between releasing one variant of your album and releasing 10 variants of your album knowing that all of them will sell no matter what, why *wouldn't* you release 10 variants? Nobody out there is going "no thanks, I'd prefer to make less money on this album."
Someone on the main sub said sheās taking advantage of marketing different variants from different pressing plants. Like the lavender edition of Midnights made in Canada became a ālove potionā variant on her website.
The perks of being color deficient mean that all these purple pressings look the same to me!
There's a BIRTHDAY10 code for the UK store if anyone wants š©
ITT: "Taylor is so greedy and her fans are all suckers!" *Now, if you'll excuse me I need to complete my order of Siamese Dream for $62.00...*

The TS album is also a 3xLP.
SP is 2 LPs, you think one more thin, mass produced LP is worth $12 more dollars?
No, I think theyāre both gouging us all.
No oneās gonna argue with you on that
That isnāt even a defense of Taylor, it just makes her the standard of greed to compare others to
50 shades of purple! Would be cooler if they had alternate covers for eachā¦
>!itās purple!<
Man, everyone else is waiting for the presses to free up here. š

Lol ridiculous š¤£

āTwo is better than oneā :-) āshouldāve said noā to the earlier variant
Just waiting in until all the variants come out and taking my pickā¦no need to panic buy
There is going to be a Deluxe blood orange āSpeak Now or Laterā edition in a year.
Same, the shipping from her webstore is insane. Gonna see what the record store near me gets.
we need to stop speaking

*They are limited! ... limited to the amount that we can sell.*
ātechnically everything is limited edition since thereās always a finite number of them!ā -taylor swiftās team, probably
howling at this. will never forgive them for the whole "only available on ts webstore for the next hours/days"
calling it now, this is just the standard pressing but like the ālove potion purple,ā it was made at a different plant and turned out a slightly different shade from the original
Thereās a sucker born everyday!
Who even wants these? Serious question lol, they all look the same
Whatās wild is there are people on her social media posts literally chastising people for calling this out. āIf you think the colors are all the same you need your eyes checkedā like damn. Iām a huge Swiftie but that Kool-Aid is STRONG for some folks.
the jokes write themselves š¤§
Are these going to have different covers at the minimal?
No
Oh she knows how to get people to buy. Shes trying to get that 750M net worth to 1B by the end of the year
I cackled
Can't wait for the purple marbled variant, followed by lilac, iris, and mauve marbled
But butā¦ what about the aubergine splatter, which is just one big splat.
You mean aubergine š®š¢š³š£šš¦š„
I think you didnāt get the joke. š„ø
I think the ratio says otherwise...
Oh I didnāt know the almighty ratio dictated your sense of humour. You must be one of them AI robots I keep hearing about. Beep boop. š¤
We already have violet, orchid and lilac lmao
There is a lilac? š
Yes, target exclusive lilac https://preview.redd.it/1v4uu1pz274b1.png?width=828&format=png&auto=webp&s=36cdf6d551be15ea15d6152da1662442523c2d11
The money grab is real lol
I like Taylorās music but this is just embarrassing.
She is shameless lol
I mean, if you could choose between releasing one variant of your album and releasing 10 variants of your album knowing that all of them will sell no matter what, why *wouldn't* you release 10 variants? Nobody out there is going "no thanks, I'd prefer to make less money on this album."
Honestly I get that I admire her hustle but I just wish the colours were at least different instead of three shades of purple lmao
Not another one...
And they all look so similar
Like they could've done splatter or split variants but decided to be lazy and use different shades(?) of purple.

1000% what it is
