Crystal Visions Transparent Edition Bundle
 

Just got an email to buy the Transparent Vinyl Bundle of Crystal Visions. Limited Edition. It's $79.99. It's on my phone, so I can't cut and paste, right now.

You get 11x17 messenger bag.

Transparent vinyl LP

Heavy stock portrait poster

Limited run 11 x 17 heavy stock portrait lithograph

there was a thread about this somewhere already before we got this email today. I preordered 2 copies on music direct or something like that a couple weeks ago and it was pretty cheap (under 20 bucks each)

is the link

I posted about it a little while ago but it went un noticed as many thought it was a bootleg...

Well you can believe it this time...

Just received the e mail from WB myself...So it's an official re issue...WB Crystal Visionslink...

Just bought it 😘

I beleived you last time, but I have been keeping my fingers crossed that this was legit ever since I placed my order! Good catch!

Let's see how long it takes "Camp Stevie" to put this on her media sites...

Just noticed...It's a "Crystal Visions" re issue but the bag has the "24K" lettering on it...

BLARGHHHHH!!! To buy or not to buy???

I'm wondering if this new pressing will increase or decrease the value of the original out of print version.

And clear vinyl!!! See, I'm such a vinyl "geek" that had this been in regular black vinyl I wouldn't have bothered because I own the original...but this is SPECIAL because it's clear.

I'm torn. :distress:

There's no reason to waste money and own two copies...:shrug:

...but it's CLEAR vinyl...

Crystal Visions…is available in Double Vinyl on 5/19 + Messenger bag & poster! Pre-Order at http://t.co/bv30L17XF1 pic.twitter.com/6hSLZ0ykVw

Well that didn't take very long...

I'm the same way. As of now, I don't own any clear/coloured vinyl, or the original Crystal Visions CD/vinyl. I think it's worth it (?)

edit: HOLY %h!+ that's a lot of money... almost $100.. I'd almost rather wait and just buy the vinyl when/if that's ever available.. I can live without the lithograph and tote. :shrug:

I'm poor white trash and I bought it so u should too.

This is really stressing me out. I bought the out-of-print vinyl version on ebay a few months back, for a really good price. So I don't really have a need for this. BUT the clear vinyl. And that bag!

This pressing may end up being more valuable because of the clear vinyl, but if it is pressed in greater quantity that the original, or if it has sound quality issues, then the original will maintain value. I'd like it of course...but I have no interest in this bundle, and I have the black vinyl already. However, for only 19.99 I may buy it from Music Direct instead, minus the litho and hand bag. I'll decide when I get back from Europe in two weeks. Definitely not paying 80 bucks for a purse and poster.

Okay, I just discovered you can order the vinyl WITHOUT the bag and poster for $23.

That kind of makes things okay now. I couldn't care less about the "bells and whistles" so it's nice to know it's available by itself at a reasonable price.

EDIT...

$20.00!!! Even better!!!

The shipping options weren't *great*, so it came to $32, with FedEx 2 day.

An Amazon.com link as well:

I'm glad you posted this, I didn't think to check. I got mine for the same price. :nod:

Had to order this. Bit of a present to myself! Rather than the poster though I'm more likely to buy a frame and display the LP sleeve - love that shot!

THIS :lol:
the poorer i am the more caca i buy.
buying this coz i want the BAG ... and the vinyl but mainly the BAG :D
i have the original CD release and my copy is VERY well used :D

Just pre-ordered it!! I wonder if this will chart on the Billboard Vinyl Albums Chart.

The last time I checked it was at #260 on the overall Amazon album chart which is very impressive. I think that makes it currently the 5th best selling vinyl on Amazon US.

I think it will chart on the Billboard Vinyl Albums chart and we also have a new vinyl chart here in the UK so I suspect it will chart here too.

That is sort of cheating. You are cheating Stevie out of more money. Doesn't sound like you are a true fan. 😷

Are you KIDDING me?

I guess I could go without paying a bill, or eating for a week, just to spend $$ on things I won't use...but at least Stevie and all you Ledgies will know I'm a TRUE fan!

Gimme an f-ing break!!! :rolleyes:

a true fan would buy 10 or more to get it a higher rank on the charts

Ha.

I know this guy with a podcast and he asks for donations. He asks people to subscribe for $1 a month or make a one time Paypal donation. But he also says that if you can't subscribe, then go to the show's reddit page and interact or just talk about the show to your friends and get other people interested who might subscribe or give it a high rating on ITunes. He says that those are ALL valuable forms of support. I believe that to be true.

If anyone is buying this and doesn't want the bag, I'd love to buy it from you for $40 or something + shipping costs? :)

I don't have a vinyl player and I don't have space for a litho/poster, but I'd love to have an actual item I can use in daily life with Stevie's name on it...

I totally agree. I personally don't need a bag or a poster and I just want the vinyl so that's what I'll buy. That shows support. You don't need to spend thousands to prove yourself to be a Stevie fan. That's just idiotic.

Well this makes me want to buy a record player. Crystal Visions on clear vinyl with a Stevie Nicks bag ....very very nice :nod:

But I'm not going to buy a record player right now, and I don't think I'd use the bag, so I'll be giving this a miss.

:wavey:

Assuming this is using the old master vinyl molds that would make the original issues still more desirable from an audiophile standpoint. But if they used the original master and cut a new master mold then there should be no reason that this one would sound any different really. I own a couple clear picture disc Erythmics records and both have a bit of surface noise that is a bit distracting for being vinyl. Almost like a tape hiss. I think it is the picture later under the clear vinyls that causes it. If this is JUST vinyl though and no picture I think it should sound fine.

This thread just shows that she has lost a lot of her TRUE fan base. Sad really...

What defines a true fan according to you?

because were not suckered into buying something we already have several of Greatest hits , time space , enchanted , sound stage and crystal visions

Jondalar, I was hoping your first post about "cheating Stevie out of money" was you just being sarcastic and funny...but now I realize you were serious.

Listen...I need MY money more than STEVIE needs my money. I would like a roof over my head and food in my belly so that I can live long enough to ENJOY and CONTINUE being a fan.

I could go on and on about what it means to be a TRUE fan of any musician, but I feel my words would be wasted on you.

No disrespect meant. We can just agree to disagree.

I'm fairly certain they're just trolling.

Your words wouldn't be wasted on me but the days of her devout fans who would buy anything is gone. She just completed two of the best solo albums of her career and it seems like her fans are wary of her. She needs true fans more than ever.... Not going to get that from what's left of her fandom 😞

There are still plenty of devoted fans around; you can't go just by the Ledge. No artist of Stevie's age has the same legions of fans they once did, and Stevie is doing better than her contemporaries.

I completely respect your opinion, but I must respectfully disagree. I view myself as a very devout fan. I was fortunate enough to see FM perform four times this tour - - but refused to spend some of the exorbitant amounts for the best seats. Many very devout fans would have loved to see them, but were unable to do so due to ticket prices or any number of other reasons. Being a devout or "true" fan has nothing to do, in my opinion, with the amount of dollars one spends on purchasing an artist's wares. I want Stevie (and all artists I admire) to succeed professionally and financially. And thankfully, Stevie remains one of the true handful of performing artists who can actually sing for a living, and make an incredibly large amount of money doing so. I will continue to support her, purchase her albums, and see her perform, but I will not pay an extra $60 for a vinyl bag and litho that I won't use. Nor will I empty my checking account just to fill her coffers. That said, I am VERY excited to have pre-ordered the clear vinyl reissue for $23, which is both a reasonable price, and a purchase I'm very excited about. :D

And regardless, I continue to be grateful for this forum, where I can connect with so many amazing, devoted fans who love Stevie's work. :thumbsup:

well said. :nod:
