I impulsively jumped on the green vinyl from the FE bandcamp. I just
happened to check fb at the right time and jumped on it. I’m just a sucker
for anything from BWE. I adore their music.
However, I feel kinda dirty for supporting the label. The pricing was kinda
steep, especially the shipping, at least compared to other records I’ve
purchased from the U.K.
I think this forced scarcity model is bullshit and primarily driven by ego.
Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if FE sits on a bunch of copies to sell on
discogs once the prices climb.
I think that BWE will eventually put this up on their bandcamp like they
did with the previous FE release.
