"Alex Turner: Submarine OST (500 copies on 10” black vinyl)"

How is this different than the normal edition 10" black vinyl that I bought years ago when it was a new release?

I was going to say "oh good, more overpriced reissues of 30-year-old albums on probably bad-sounding colour vinyl" but then stevie's post made me feel churlish so carry on

however, even though I acknowledge that most people my age have kids, I am still weirded out by seeing nostalgia for my childhood sold as Father's Day gifts. I recently followed a link for FD stuff expecting a bunch of idk leather wallets and antiquarian-map-print coasters or something and was all like "why would my dad want a bunch of plastic Star Wars figurines? that's MY generation... oh yeah, I remember, I'm old now"

I saw a teenage girl about a week ago, walking down the road with a Stone Roses album in a HMV bag.

haha would much rather my 2yo daughter 'bought me' a record for Father's Day (she 'did', for my first one - a copy of Margo Guryan's Take A Picture, which contains Someone I Know, which is 'our song' for me and my partner) than leather wallets or coasters. However this year I get the impression I am being bought a print of a Graun cartoon about a dad who forces his appalling musical taste on his child.

The one in Cheltenham is in a different place every year. Didn't buy anything.

Hoping this won't also take fopp down with it.
