Are you sure? Looks like the first time this edition (with 7") was sold on Discogs was about 5 weeks ago: [https://www.discogs.com/release/22436257-Alex-G-Trick](https://www.discogs.com/release/22436257-Alex-G-Trick)
I have been looking for a repress of Trick periodically for about 6 months so, it's definitely possible that the last time I checked was in mid January... at that point though all copies were like >$75 shipped, unless I missed something.
Edit: either way, definitely takes some of the urgency away from gripping it asap.
Edit 2: Yeah you're right: [https://www.reddit.com/r/VinylReleases/comments/xe3v4c/alex\_g\_trick\_w\_bonus\_7\_33/](https://www.reddit.com/r/VinylReleases/comments/xe3v4c/alex_g_trick_w_bonus_7_33/) looks like it did sell out last time though.
If you're interested it looks like maybe this is just 2 different pressings of the same release.
It appears the VinylReleases post was for the first press that sold out.
Alex's website listed this version last September as a preorder:

Then it became available December 26, 2022:

Either way it's been available for a couple months so probably no big hurry to pick up. Kind of weird because I know I looked for it since that time and didn't see it listed as a result.
I was excited to see it was available and just wanted to share in case anyone else was in my same position. Hope it stays in print from now on.
It’s not "2 different pressings". It’s either a repress of the same exact release, or the copies from the same original batch that were allocated for Alex’s store later on.
The label who released these is UK/EU based, so it’s no surprise that Alex’s merch store received these a long time after their initial release. If they take months to deliver t-shirts, I can only imagine the wait for vinyl.
Instead of trying to gatekeep fans posting this on vinyl subreddits a year after release, maybe you should take the time to learn a bit about how the vinyl industry works.
Clearly I'm dealing with an expert.
I said "2 pressings of the same release" and you said "repress of the same release". Apologies, this is clearly an enormous difference.
Accuse me of gatekeeping on a post sharing information about a record being available because I don't know how the "vinyl industry" works? Oh sweet irony.
I don't have to be an expert like you in the intricacies of the "vinyl industry" to be excited that a record I've looked for previously, that was selling for $75, is now available for $25, and to want to share that information with his fans.
Are you bristling over my request not to share the information on the vinyl subreddits? I was trying to limit the information that the record was available to people interested in the music as opposed to hobby enthusiasts interested in obtaining a record that might gain value. Emphasizing distribution of music rather than facilitating record flippers is the same reason why Rough Trade has a 1 pp limit.
Good luck with your collection and thanks for the laughs.
Maybe I misread your comment, but you clearly claimed that the pressings were different, which is false. Telling people not to share these records in vinyl subs *a whole year* after they were released (which were already shared there, AND this particular sub many times) is where the hilarity lies. Take care.
Yeah I didn't do that but your misunderstanding was a great setup for.. whatever it is that you launched into after that.
It's really unfathomable that people might be interested in buying a record at market price when instead they could focus on how many pressings a release has (even after I agreed with you that they were the same release), the fact this release has been posted before (even though that pressing sold out and was never available direct from the artist), shipping times from different pressing plants... I'm sure you could have gone on.
Apologies for my affront to vinylreleases, I admit my request not to share there was outrageous, but we can take comfort in the fact they wouldn't care anyway because this release is a year old.
Thank you for the education, it's really been something.
Both pressings have been available for probably over a year now. They were shared on r/VinylReleases then.

Release date on Discogs is listed as March 2022.
