INSOUND EXCLUSIVE! Insound is the only place to buy the white vinyl version of Bandwagonesque!

VINYL FORMAT. Limited to 500 copies on white vinyl! This twentieth anniversary edition of Bandwagonesque is on 140 gram vinyl, pressed at Record Industry in Holland. Released for the first time in the US and re-mastered for the first time in over a decade, ORG Music is proud to present another album that helped inspire a revolution in music. Includes a faithful recreation of the original jacket and lyric sheet. 'The gold standard of the early '90s power pop revival, in its own way Bandwagoneque was as much a benchmark as contemporary records like Nevermind and Loveless; though not the generational rallying cry of the former nor the revolutionary sonic breakthrough of the latter, Teenage Fanclub's sophomore album nevertheless heralded the return of melody and craft, coupled with energy and spirit - hallmarks of much of the greatest rock & roll of the past, and virtues as rare as hen's teeth in the years immediately prior to the disc's release. Although its incandescent harmonies, lazily immediate songs, and crunching guitars earned it endless comparisons to vintage Big Star, Bandwagoneque is in every way a product of its own time - the thick, grungy sound of the Fannies' debut A Catholic Education remains intact for gems like "What You Do to Me" (arguably the most brilliantly simpleminded love song ever penned) and the instrumental "Satan," while the lyrics of other standout moments like "Star Sign" and "Alcoholiday" reflect a laissez faire irony and unassuming genius even more emblematic of the moment in question.' - Jason Ankeny / All Music Guide

Actually, its not a bad price for a piece that limited to 500 copies. Heck, most new vinyl is going for $15+ and its mostly plain ol' unlimited pressings.

I think $20, or maybe even $22 and I wouldn't have thought much of it. But I agree with Dalen, this is one of those opportunities to use the word retarded.

Every time I'm in the record shop I stare at the double LP for black keys brothers, one of my top 3 albums of the year...shaking my head going... no... I won't pay 30 bucks this week. I'd rather walk out of the store with 3 records and some dignity. I'm sure I'll pick it up eventually.

Unless you're the Truckers who either have a HORRIBLE manufacturing or distribution deal or they just think REALLY highly of their vinyl. They charge $30 before tax and shipping. Pretty much why I only own 1 of their albums on vinyl and it was a drunken impulse buy after a show.

Even for an audiophile pressing, $30 is pretty steep if you ask me.

Man, I wanna know where you all can get vinyl for under $15. Around here, that's just not the case (here being DC/Baltimore metro). Not saying its not out there, just saying its tough to find new records on the cheap here. Truckers are always pricey. Even at shows they're $20. Turnaround is, I never see them in stores.

this is why I never buy NEW vinyl from stores.

I always figure the price where it gets stupid is if you can buy an original for less. This one is close. But, black vinyl is fine by me. If anything I prefer it.

Just listened to this album last month. Man, this band made some great albums.

i bought this and the sonic youth limited reissues when insound was having their holiday sale ended up getting this and the four SY reissues for like $100 total...hasnt shown up yet

i bought a new copy of dirty south for 17 the other day and they had southern rock opera for 23. prices appear to be more in line with industry
