this thread should change its name now to Cauldron of Animosities
Look, I’ve already proved you wrong and even cited sources and you are just continuing to ignore that and state personal opinion. A “limited edition” has a predetermined amount of copies that are to be sold and that’s it. The record was marketed and sold as “limited edition”. Every distro that I saw that carried the record on vinyl format had it marked as such and greg is the only common denominator. That information came from him. It doesn’t matter that this “second pressing” is different and easily distinguishable from the first, the fact that this RECORD was “limited edition” to begin with is now a lie because it’s the album itself on vinyl format that was supposed to be “limited edition” not the pressing. End of story.Dodens Grav wrote:An "edition" is "limited" as long as there's a finite amount of copies, regardless of whether or not it's marketed and sold as a "limited ediition release". Besides, I don't have the actual record itself, but I don't see Greg himself anywhere using the exact phrase "limited edition". I see him saying "limited to 500 copies", a purely factual statement for each individual edition of the release, but I don't see him using the phrase that is getting your panties in a knot. And as I said earlier, the first and second presses are different editions, and each edition is limited. It's quite obnoxious that you choose to ignore this. And as Iordan has pointed out, the separate editions are readily distinguishable by their appearance. The issue here is not that Greg made a false claim, it's that you made a false assumption, and you're unwilling to accept that.Avenger wrote:You can try and come up with all of the bullshit terms you want to try and squeeze your way out of this but it’s simply not true. Anything that’s “limited edition” especially when numbered has one predetermined set amount of copies. If more are made then the “limited edition” status is a lie.

Now be a big boy and just admit that you are wrong and get off greg’s balls.
Obviously you have difficulty understanding what a bias is.Avenger wrote:Regarding the claim of having a bias. I don’t. Like I’ve already said repeated times, I’ve always thought eat metal to be a shitty label and regardless still gave greg the benefit of the doubt on two separate occasions. Both times ended badly and I still hold the same opinion. I’m not specifically raging on eat metal because of my past issues with the label but because the problem was brought up and I have an opinion on the subject. If I really had a bias towards the label and was hell bent on trying to bring it down I would be bringing up my past issues with greg in every single promotion/sales thread that he makes not only on this forum but everywhere else that I’ve seen him post. If the issue were brought up about HRR or any other label then I would hold the same opinion.
I forgive you because your native tongue is Canadian-eh, and not English, but seriously, you are of a simple mind it you cannot comprehend the clarity and straightforwardness of the concept of more than one limited edition. Maybe if will help you understand the concept of "multiple limited editions" if you have an example of multiple limited editions that occur simultaneously. For example, Century Media has started to press unique limited edition copies of some of their LP reissues for specific record labels. NWN! Productions, for example, had special copies of many of their releases (like At the Gates, Unleashed, Grave, and others) that were made exclusively on a transparent green wax, while other specific distros had their own special variations, each constituting a separate limited edition of the same release.Avenger wrote:Nice oxymoron there buddy.Dodens Grav wrote:multiple limited editions
Irreverent? There goes your native Canadian cropping up again. The word that you were searching for was "irrelevant".Avenger wrote:There is nothing wrong with this because they aren't specially hand numbered and labeled as "limited edition" Totally irreverent comparison.
I already explained twice to you why my opinion is not bias. If you can’t comprehend this then that’s not my problem.
It’s sad how you have to stoop down to stereotypical insults and grammar policing because you really have no argument of your own. If you would take ten seconds to use a map you would see that I am from the west coast and therefore have an accent similar to someone from say California. You are from the east coast and all you know about Canada is what you see from the french and atlantic provinces. The icing on the cake is how you are from New Jersey and most likely have an accent and way of speech just as terrible as someone from New York. Oh, the hypocrisy…
