You'll be able to get it in the cutout bargain bins, if you wait a year or so.

Only if there is any room left amongst all those copies of The Instigator.  Why do they all have holes in the UPC barcode?

So those who bought it can have a place to put their dicks when they masturbate.

I have never seen The Instigator or Turn on the Bright Lights in the Dollar Bin.....
 
 Apparently the Libertines new album has been leaked too. I would like to hear that. I know their album has been spotted in the dollar bin.

Based on the highly unscientific Amazon.com results -  There are 24 copies of the Interpol CD for sale and 52 copies of The Constipator

I have picked up the Libertines first album as well as the Instigator in the dollar bin.
 
 I don't think being in the dollar bin automatically means the record sucks. Just means that it didn't sell up to record company expectations, so they had to dump off a load of them.

I couldn't have put it better myself.

I think there are plenty of acts just obscure enough for the epsilons in second hand stores not to recognise them. I think that would fit for any of the albums you are discussing.
 
 It does not explain the copies of the J-lo remix album....

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

So are you saying you don't understand the concept of a cutout album?
 
 Just means that the record company overestimated the sales figure of an album, and created way more copies than were bought. Thus, the need to sell them as cutouts.
 
 My guess is that this will happen with Interpol. They'll get a big push, and fewer people then expected will buy the album. Same thing must have happened to the J-Lo you refer to.

 I understand the concept of a cutout album.
 
 I know most of the second hand copies of the instigator are cutouts.
 
 I bet the libertines is not a cut out
 
 I bet there are no interpol cutouts.
 
 I have not seen cut-outs of the new strokes album either, so maybe interpol will not suffer the ignomy that Rhett Miller has.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

I would have to check my Libertines and Rhett Miller cd's to see if they are cutouts.
 
 Cutouts are usually major label releases. Rhett Miller's album waas on a major label (Elektra). The Libertines (Rough Trade) and Interpol (Matador) aren't on major labels. So your guesses could very well be right.

Oh stop, at least wait until he has done something really nasty. Here's merely explaining a process, albeit it a tad rudely. That's hardly worth calling him an ass.
