DA
The standard records usually are poorer quality than the special editions. And the resellers get most of them literally the second they’re released and flip them on eBay, marketplace, etc. so it does become a dick measuring contest between fans. Everything from ability to get it to how low or high a price or how long shipping took can all drown out any other discussions in the fandom.

Add in an exchange rate from a country with a shit dollar.

One of my favourite albums turned 25 this year - like, a “this album changed my life/made me love music/saved me” kind of album. They did a regular black pressing and a coloured special edition.

In theory, the album should've cost $US25. Sold out immediately. I relented and bought the black pressing for $AU140 from an Australian importer, but there's a part of me that wishes I had the coloured edition because *it’s such a special album to me* but to buy it, I'd have to pay $AU500.

Huh, that is so strange to me. Like, they're purposefully releasing poorer quality originally? It's not like the method would change that drastically between releases, right?
I mean my first instinct is to try and defend it, like do they actively advertise the processing in how each record is made? Even then that really is a shitty thing to do. Having a limited special edition is one thing, but purposefully holding back quality is just terrible.
I can definitely see how that would induce dick-measuring then. Yeesh.
