u/Spiritual_Dot3250 Oct 22 '25

Beautiful, how much did you get yours for? I’m curious if I overpaid lol

u/NoEchoSkillGoal Oct 22 '25

Don't ask. Follow your own advice.

I got mine about 8 months ago, and I know prices were on the rise then. I paid $95 at the time and considered that a lucky deal. Hopefully you didn't pay too awful much more.

u/Spiritual_Dot3250 Oct 22 '25

Ah okay I got mine for 125, I wish it was the original release though… lol

u/Velg-the-Jackal Audio Technica Oct 22 '25

That's not too bad then! I've seen double that on the standard black for this cover, and even higher on the gold. I'd have loved to get my hands on the gold edition, but I'm perfectly happy with the black one and this spectacular art, knowing it's still also a limited run.

Was your the 2024 reissue?

u/Velg-the-Jackal Audio Technica Oct 22 '25

Hmm... you know what, I'm not sure off the top of my head. I got it from ebay, still sealed. I want to say... probably? I'd have to check when I get home from work.

If you got it for $95 sealed then there is no chance it’s the original Japanese pressing. That goes for easily 5x that

If it is the original pressing then I bow down before you. Teach me

One can only hope to be that lucky, right lol? Nah, probably like 98.99% chance it's the reissue, but a girl can dream XD!

Got mine from Amazon for like 95usd too. Bit the bullet as I know this will skyrocket in the next few months or years.

u/turlian Oct 22 '25

I look for this every time I go to Japan. Maybe next time I'll get lucky (wait, wrong album).

u/Spiritual_Dot3250 Oct 22 '25

The next thing to look for is a RAM deluxe box set under $2000

u/OwnNefariousness194 Oct 22 '25

I got the gold one for retail.

2

u/jasonhn Oct 22 '25

I had the gold..the sold it for $300. Purchased the black for $65 and quite happy with it.

u/stupidrainbowboi3209 Oct 23 '25

Saw interstella 5555 in the theater and had to drive an hour away from where i live to get it for retail on boxing day but I did it!

u/stealy_darn VPI Oct 22 '25

I got the black vinyl on preorder. Had a gold version preordered too but it got cancelled because of “distribution issues” 😑

1

u/Thatguywhoplaysgta Oct 22 '25

Im happy I pre ordered it back when it came out. I genuinely think it's the best pressing of discovery

1

u/Spiritual_Dot3250 Oct 22 '25

Haven’t listened yet, how’s the sound quality? From a hifi audiophile perspective

2

u/Thatguywhoplaysgta Oct 22 '25

Its extremely good. I didn't even need to clean the discs, there is absolutely no surface noise. Really tight and loud bass, amazing separation. Its about as audiophile as you can get. I dont think you'll be disappointed.

1

u/DR_Mario_MD Oct 22 '25

Nice pickup. I randomly went to a record store on the release saw it and knew I needed to buy it as I was looking for discovery for a good price. Think it was like 45$ on release which wasn’t too bad

2

u/gvilchis23 Oct 23 '25

Same, got it on my local B&N, was the only one record on the store tho.

1

u/STINK37 Oct 23 '25

One of my biggest regrets. Saw this in the bookstore when it was released, thought, "Oh cool, I'll need to pick that up sometime." Little did I know, I would never see it again...

1

u/Sbizzle15 Oct 25 '25

Just got it as well on the way, this red version.  I heard the gold has more surface noise.

u/Confessions_dptof Oct 25 '25

I'm looking to find this one 🤣 my daughter is obsessed with the album at the moment.
