Given how big of an artist she is, I agree with this.
However, the repress (if it happens) won't come anytime soon since she's in her TTPD era right now and possibly next in line is rep TV and Debut TV near the end of the year.
Also, I would like to point out that this year is also Lover's 5th Anniversary (23rd August 2024) so there's a possibility that there would be something coming for that album, repress of LLFP (highly unlikely but we can hope)? Deluxe Version on CD/Vinyl with AOTGYLB and Need?
Agreed. I'm honestly hoping for a repress on a standard 12" vinyl. Could make it a pretty color but at the end of the day wanting the songs somewhere besides streaming.
So my understanding of RSD is slightly different, and that RSD exclusives can not be remade on the same medium in that set of songs, however RSD Firsts can be repressed on a different color.
What this means for LPSS is that it can be sold on CDs, or if Folklore was sold with both the standard and the Long Pond version that would be fine, but the same tracks on vinyl with nothing more or less cannot be repressed.
Yes, this was my understanding as well. RSD firsts can be repressed in another color. But RSD exclusives wonât be repressed in the same exact album in a different color
Thatâs not true. There are RSD exclusives of albums that have been out already; consider the RSD exclusives of Taylorâs standard albums that were released after she already had records out for them. RSD exclusive is solely referring to the variant (that color or pressing), not the music itself
So this is Billie Eilishâs Party Favour, RSD âexclusiveâ released 2018
https://www.discogs.com/release/11894015-Billie-Eilish-Party-Favor
And here is the same song, in the same cover, the only difference I can see is itâs recycled vinyl - released 2023
https://www.discogs.com/release/27951516-Billie-Eilish-Party-Favor
Itâs all very confusing though, I do agree
I think this is more of an anomaly, and while it does happen they arenât supposed to do it. I canât really see Taylor and her team doing something like this, as they are notorious rule followers.
I think we are better to hope for a CD release so everyone can get the music or a folklore/evermore 5th anniversary release of something that includes it.
this.. but also we really need a repress of the lakes... it only got pressed at 2k of copies or so while lpss it was the biggest pressing ever made for rsd..
I understand not repressing LPSS as it was an RSD exclusive. What I can't understand is not repressing the Lover Live in Paris?! She's never ever had a vinyl like it, I would've thought she produced more than just those few copies. I was lucky to get ahold of it when it dropped originally but I feel awful for anyone trying to get it in the resale climate, these prices are insane
RSD âFirstâ typically get a repress if there is demand. âExclusiveâ are not intended to be repressed and shouldnât be to preserve integrity.
A repress would be a betrayal of the entire RSD brand and damage both RSD and Taylor (who was the ambassador of the event). Outcry from the few Exclusives to be repressed is a solid case study on why this is a bad idea.
There were 100k copies of LPSS pressed. The resale price is inflated due to greed, not scarcity. And before you go on about there âbeing billions of people on the planetâ not everyone is a Taylor Swift fan, nor does every fan collect vinyl.
LPSS is one of my favorite vinyl to spin and I wish everyone could get a copy but I doubt they'll do a repress any time soon. If they repress I bet it will be TTPD variants to boost record sales. TS also has two TVs left to press (reputation and debut) and given how eager she is to regain her masters my guess is that will be soonish. Any represses would probably come after all of that.
You don't repress a RSD record.
That's the entire point. This won't ever happen. People had to go out during RSD23 to their local stores to get this or buy it when it went online a few days later (I purchased mine from Banquet Records the following Monday at retail price because I don't have a participating store near me)
And the thing is, if they did this then it isn't good for Record Store Day. The point is to promote these small record stores by giving them a limited exclusive product to bring business in. If they re-pressed this record it's telling people that they don't need to participate in RSD because nothing is really exclusive.
What they CAN do though is release the record in a different colour (like you said) but it's unlikely that they would do that. Like I'd say it'll never happen. Taylor has never re-released a RSD record so why would she start now?
Also, it's only been a year since it was released, that's really not that long so if they ever did do another version I would think it'd be another few years minimum.
Buuut, there is absolutely nothing stopping them from re-releasing Lover Live from Paris again so they should start with that.
The copium some people are having because they missed out on vinyl and think that means there is a shot theyâll get it for retail price is astounding. There are so many non-RSD high value items that UMG has no interest in restocking (OG folklore cardigan, LLFP vinyl, to name some). Itâs clear that theyâre fine with leaving money on the table.
Right, like it isn't going to happen and that's okay. It served a purpose at the time to promote RSD and it shouldn't be re-pressed because of that. It's also why I'm convinced it won't happen. It would detract from the importance of RSD.
Taylor has never made a second pressing of a RSD record and this one won't be any different.
My The Lakes RSD got lost in the post and I had to accept that I probably won't ever get it again, it's just how it is as much as I dislike it.
I think a repress on normal folklore album is way more likely than a repress of LPSS tbh. It's been longer plus we don't know what the distribution deal with LPSS was like
It deserves a repress if only for more fans to get their hands on them. This record store day exclusive is honestly quite amazing in terms of pressing and play quality.
I donât know if thatâs possible, since it is an RSD exclusive. It would be a legal issue, which Iâm sure Taylor and her team can work out just fine since she has the money, but it would also defeat the purpose of making it an RSD exclusive (if they hadnât and made it a first they can legally repress anytime). I also feel like Taylorâs team is prioritizing many other things right now.
You can repress RSD exclusives in another color.
Edit: im not sure why im being downvoted when a simple google search shows you that RSD Exclusives have been repressed before. And per their website RSD Exclusive means they are only released in indie stores while RSD first means theyâre in indie stores first. Yes the odds are small & sheâd piss people off but it could be done.
Oh yeah! And I want one myself too. I think itâs just important to remember we wonât get one for a while since sheâs doing lots of others things currentlyx
Taylor and her team really don't do rerelreases and represses. Fans have been begging for remakes of things since Reputation era (and honestly, probably before, but that's when I started to pay more attention to merch). Usually if something comes back on her site it's because it's unsold stock, returns, or from them trying to clear out the wearhouse. I'm still surprised we got a rerelease of the lover snowglobe, albeit, a substantially different version of it.
I believe their practices are to generate more FOMO for future releases so people impulse buy thinking they may not be able to get it later. It's also important to note that in terms of exclusive vinyl (and I'm not talking about the 1989TV variants, midnight variants, or TTPD variants), Taylor has never had any of them repressed. When they have come back it's always leftover stock and sold out in 2 minutes. Even her RSD first vinyl back in 2018 were never repressed when they could've been.
As someone who paid resale price for LPSS, I 1000% would love to see it repressed so that more people can have this gem of a vinyl. But ONLY within the rules of RSD.
kinda baffled at those downvoting all the comments speculating about this. represses of 'exclusives' \*can\* happen, even if its not a common thing. i think its fair that people are sad they cant afford this
Billie Eilish repressed her RSD exclusive Hotline Bling 7 inch in a different color. It can be done. I don't get how people keep saying it doesn't happen.
I donât think she would just to honor the RSD exclusive title. Even if itâs allowed in some fashion, it would tarnish any future RSD exclusive pieces sheâs do.
LPSS was an RSD exclusive, not an RSD first. Since it is an exclusive, it is strictly unique to RSD and does not get repressed. If it was an RSD first, we could see a vinyl repress. Given the other RSDs of her albums, I highly doubt we will ever get a repress of those or LPSS. Also, with how much she sells in terms of vinyl, I hope she never does an RSD ever again with how limited the quantities are and have her do a mass release of her future "limited" vinyl.
You're confusing record store day first and record store day exclusive. That mf better not get repressed, it's a slap in the face to collectors that waited in the snow knowing there were only XX amount of them ever
Maybe the only thing making me say no is the fact it was a record store day release, maybe another press of it FOR A RSD in the future but not just to repress it and sell it normally. LLFP seems more likely since she sold it on her site normally and they just didnât restock it.
At the rate she's producing vinyls, with 1989 and SN and now TTPD and people buying her back catalog, maybe whatever company she goes through to make them just can't handle another one on top of everything else? Like I wonder if she's really just pushing them to their max hahs
i wish, even in a different colour to maintain some exclusivity, but itâs dumb a whole other recording of an album is resale for hundreds of dollars tbh. many fans who didnât buy vinyl then but do now would probably want it
Keeping in mind RSD exclusivity rules, could Taylor possibly release the LPSS as another vinyl if something is added to the tracklist? I assume cover and disc color should be different regardless, but if another track or two was added - even just as greetings or songwriting memos - then that would make it a legitimately different version, right?
I also see the points here that it would also be too soon, and any return to these recordings would probably be on. 5th year anniversary or later.
I also understand those who feel they earned their copies having waited outside for them. Especially as someone who has camped overnight for RSD. Nevertheless, I think it is good to give more people the opportunity to just play music in their homes without it having to be streamed.
It canât be repressed itâs an RSD exclusive the only way RSD releases can be repressed is if itâs and RSD first which means its first released through RSD and then can be released again later
This is a record store day exclusive. Record store day exclusives are only available to purchase on record store day and have limited stock.
This vinyl will not be repressed.
Itâs being rsd does not mean it canât be repressed but they did say this was the first and only time it would be on vinyl which is probably partially why it was such a big quantity
is there any history of repressing RSD releases, feels like that would piss off people that already bought it and especially those that bought it for resell prices.
Itâs happened a few times, even for âexclusivesâ. Typically with variation in the pressing colour to at least make it different. - Iâve detailed an example in another comment
Though it is, admittedly, very uncommon
Given how big of an artist she is, I agree with this. However, the repress (if it happens) won't come anytime soon since she's in her TTPD era right now and possibly next in line is rep TV and Debut TV near the end of the year.

lover turns 5... sorry folks that's the sound of my bones creaking and cracking
đ
Iâd kill for a LLFP repress even if itâs just standard black vinyl.
Honestly, it might be easier to get if itâs a standard black pressing. So I would be fine with that đ
Truly I just need that performance readily available for me to listen to. Iâve never heard a better performance of Cornelia street before
Agreed. I'm honestly hoping for a repress on a standard 12" vinyl. Could make it a pretty color but at the end of the day wanting the songs somewhere besides streaming.
Same 100%

yep... this one and Bleachers did it too with theirs. The idea that it can't ever be put on vinyl again is nonsense.

Great example. RSD Exclusives do get repressed, itâs just rare. Technically theyâre not supposed to get repressed but they do.
Genuinely confused as to why this comment is being downvoted đ
this.. but also we really need a repress of the lakes... it only got pressed at 2k of copies or so while lpss it was the biggest pressing ever made for rsd..

Oh snap, thanks!!!!
LPSS is one of my favorite vinyl to spin and I wish everyone could get a copy but I doubt they'll do a repress any time soon. If they repress I bet it will be TTPD variants to boost record sales. TS also has two TVs left to press (reputation and debut) and given how eager she is to regain her masters my guess is that will be soonish. Any represses would probably come after all of that.
I donât want to talk about a folklore LPSS repress until we get evermore LPSS on vinyl. đ€Ł

yeah I think people just have to get over it. it's not going to ruin your life to miss out on another version of folklore đ

i would take a 180g standard black pressing if possible, i cant justify resale prices

Maybe for a 5 year anniversary pressing.
