Life is like a lumberjack walking on logs. The ground is always moving.
It's necessary to adapt to changing situations. The thing is selling, it's selling deservedly and well. The people who bought it on the first run were like people taking out insurance. If you take out a travel insurance policy against an accident, and no accident actually happens, do you complain afterwards?
The logs are in a different place, the popularity of the product is now tested. The people who bought it first time have the satisfaction of knowing they contributed to its increase and survival to a second run.
PRESS A MILLION, MAKE A FORTUNE, GET THIS OUT TO MUSIC LOVERS EVERYWHERE.
AVE LVCVS CENDALLIS PRINCEPS ET MATESSINO IMPERATOR.

Good call Lukas, and kudos to you as well as Warner/Watertower for allowing an additional pressing.

While I'm happy it's being repressed (I can grab it when I'm more financially sound), I am disappointed by the lack of honesty concerning the release. Reminds me of Bush 88 with 'Read my lips... no new taxes'.
FSM had an initial run of 2000. It sells out within 2 weeks. They decide to print more to meet demand. Good on them. Predicting the appropriate number required is notoriously difficult as we've seen so often in recent years. No dishonesty here, just human beings doing their best for themselves and their customers.

Are you saying that doing exactly what someone said they didn't do is not dishonest? Pray tell then, what is?
Here's the quote from Lukas:
"To answer a question: no, we will not be repressing this after the 2000 copies sell out. We have, I think more than any of the other labels, tried to press our titles in sufficient quantities and as a result have over-pressed more often than not...and we're sitting on stock that costs money to store.
I think that a title this high-profile would be re-licensed to another label so as not to go off the market. But that's not something I have any control over."

Like I said, I am glad it's getting repressed because I can grab it later when I'm more financially comfortable. And if Lukas hadn't definitively stated "We will not be repressing this" then no one, I think, would say he's dishonest (except for a few who always complain).

-------------------
I don't think Lukas expected this release to sell 2000 copies in two weeks. He was, I think, being questioned by people here about his intentions when he said no repressing.
He simply had a change of mind. That's not a crime.

Once again I don't know see the problem is. If you already own it then who cares how many copies are pressed? If you don't own it and you do want to own it, you will now have the opportunity to do so without paying ridiculous third party prices.
