I ordered 'Socially Inept' and Proswell's 'Carrot Dossier'. I *wanted*
to order them direct from the label, but the prices aren't any better
than Forced Exposure. Merck charges $4 to ship one or two CDs, while FE
charges a flat fee of $4.50 per order (any size).
Merck offers discounts on orders of three or more CDs, but isn't $17.50
a bit ridiculous for one CD, direct from the label? Look at Kranky
Records; they charge $11 per CD, and that includes shipping within the
USA. Their artwork/packaging is just as elegant, and they include
stickers, etc. just like Merck.
Yes, I'm a tightwad. But this was not the first time I've wanted to buy
less than three CDs from Merck. It sucks having to wait until I can
afford a larger order (from PJ or FE) to hear the latest Merck release.
