How to Choose Between Catch Without Arms 20th Anniversary Formats and Dredg Store Apparel
Updated
Choose the autographed Deluxe Bundle (from $169.95) if you want the most complete anniversary package and a signature; choose the standard 2xLP ($36.99) or 2xLP + CD bundle ($47.99) if you mainly want the vinyl; choose the CD ($17.99) for the lowest-cost music option; and choose apparel only after settling the music format, since shirts, longsleeves, hoodies, the zip-up, and the hat are separate purchases priced roughly $36.99–$59.95. All prices below are the regular prices listed on dredgstore.com and do not include shipping or any taxes shown at checkout.

The key decision is autograph or not. The two autographed options cost noticeably more than their unsigned counterparts, so decide whether the signature is worth the premium before comparing bundle contents. The page lists the Deluxe Bundle as "From $169.95," which means the final price can vary by configuration; check the product page for the exact variant you select.
If you already own the original album and only want the anniversary vinyl, the $36.99 2xLP is the straightforward pick. If you still play CDs in a car or stereo, the $47.99 bundle adds the CD for about $11 more than the vinyl alone — cheaper than buying the $36.99 2xLP and $17.99 CD separately.
Apparel: match the item to how you'll wear it
Apparel prices on the store range from $36.99 to $59.95, with several items listed as "From" prices because size or color variants can change the total.
- T-shirts ($36.99–$42.99): The Pargett Shirt and Blur Shirt (both Comfort Colors) start at $36.99; the CWA20 Shirt in a boxy cut starts at $42.99. Choose these if you want a low-commitment anniversary item you'll wear often.
- Longsleeves ($47.95–$49.95): The CWA20 Tracklist Longsleeve (Heavy Fade) and the What Happens and Solar Longsleeves (American Apparel) sit around $47.95–$49.95. The tracklist print ties directly to the album, so it pairs naturally with a music purchase.
- Hoodies and zip-up ($49.95–$59.95): The Metal Roots Hoodie and Solar Hoodie start at $49.95; the Metal Roots Zip-Up starts at $59.95. These are the warmest and most expensive apparel options.
- Hat ($41.95): The CWA20 Snapback is a one-size-style accessory at a fixed listed price.
- Sticker sheet ($10.00): The cheapest item on the page and a low-risk add-on if you want something small.
Sizing and color availability aren't specified in the listing data, so confirm the variant on each product page before ordering. Items marked "From" can price higher depending on the option chosen.
A practical way to decide
- Set your music budget first. If you want the signature and the complete package, go straight to the Deluxe Bundle. If you want vinyl only, compare the $36.99 2xLP against the $75 autographed 2xLP and ask whether the signature justifies the difference.
- Add the CD only if you'll use it. The $47.99 bundle is good value over buying separately, but skip it if the CD would sit unopened.
- Pick one apparel item that matches the album. The CWA20 Tracklist Longsleeve or CWA20 Shirt keeps the purchase themed; the Metal Roots pieces are better if you want general band merchandise rather than anniversary-specific gear.
- Use small items to round out an order. The $10 sticker sheet is an easy add-on, but check shipping costs before adding it purely to reach a threshold — no free-shipping threshold is stated in the available store information.
- Verify at checkout. The cart shows an estimated total and a country/region selector, so confirm the final price, shipping, and any taxes for your location before paying.
Common pitfalls
- Assuming "From" prices are final. Several bundles and apparel items are listed with "From," meaning the displayed price is a starting point, not necessarily what you'll pay for your chosen variant.
- Buying the autographed 2xLP when you wanted the bundle. The $75 autographed 2xLP and the $169.95 autographed Deluxe Bundle are different products; the bundle's extra contents aren't detailed in the listing excerpt, so read the product page if the difference matters to you.
- Forgetting that apparel is sold separately. No listing indicates that clothing is included with any music format, so budget for each item individually.
- Overlooking the empty-cart state. The store's cart page shows "Your cart is empty" until you add items, so there's no saved wishlist behavior to rely on — add everything in one session.
