Hey Mike Almquist from mewithoutYou here. If you have damaged or missing parts, just contact [email protected] and I will help you try and get replacements. Unfortunately the plant seems to have taken less care than we would have. We've only had about 8 or 9 people hit us up so far. We should have enough overprinting resources to cover everyone. Hopefully this problem isn't too widespread, but we want people to be happy with the product they paid $50 + shipping for. Not much I can do abou the missing Dorothy lyrics though.

That's because he took that photo at your parents' house.(The plot thickens.)

R.I.P. MCA

First and foremost, fuck you. This has been a place that I have enjoyed for years until the last year or so. That's when the newbz started to come in, rack up 13,000 posts and think they run the fucking place. This whole flipping discussion can fuck off. THIS IS A COLLECTORS FORUM - GET THE FUCK OVER IT. IN COLLECTING, THERE'S FLIPPING. Im fucking sick of hearing it. (im looking at you museummouth) When this place was in its prime, anything went (im looking at you parkinglot). I was part of the proboards era. All of you new jacks dont know what the fuck this place used to be in it's glory. You folks have ruined VC. EVERYTHING IS TOO EXPENSIVE. OH NO A CORNER DING! DOES THAT CORNER DING HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE WAY YOUR RECORD SOUNDS? NO. THIS ISNT A FUCKING ART FORUM. Why do you think great members have left? TL;DR lighten the fuck up, listen to your records and enjoy life. Oh. and this "pop punk " that you just think is great, is a fucking joke. Go listen to Teen Idols.

I think a 6 hour nap is just sleeping.

What the fuck

I can see Foxing now

I definitely need to hear these words haha thanks for the looking out. I'm only four years younger than you so I probably need to get my collecting in check sooner than later but it's difficult lol. This month just was crazy with all the distro popping up on top of new releases--plus i had to put a little bit of personal coin towards the new dandelion hands release. there's so few things bring that joy tho and life is an endless swallowing abyss so but you're right!!!

https://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a5cf20b3127cceead60990218000000030O00AZsmrdo5bNXIPbz4c/cC/f%3D0/ls%3D00905694752320151101165740546.JPG/ps%3D50/r%3D0/rx%3D550/ry%3D400/

According to the band manager on Reddit, "There is a very specific reason why its on there. The track has an internal name but you can just call it Guitar Instrumental." Someone on Reddit made an interesting observation, "I love it. It's very reminiscent of a previous album track. Since Aaron writes the lyrics, we hear him dealing with the death of his father throughout the album whereas Mike doesn't have the same platform. I see this as Mike's way of working through similar emotions musically."

With all the stupid releases coming out why are we singling out soundtracks? When having to choose between a soundtrack that hasnt been pressed before or Rock Me Amadeus on a 7" for $11, you choose to get upset over the soundtrack? Do we really need all the 80's represses for $25 that are already lining dollar bins?

I have owned at least 3 copies of this record just as a side effect of being alive

Somewhere, there's a skatepunk band who can't bring their album on tour due to plant delays because of Herb Fucking Alpert.

Update to my Caspian collection at about 63 or so:

Badly Drawn Boy's wonderful debut is being reissued as a deluxe, 3LP edition in honor if its 15th anniversary. I am actually listening to this album as I type in the forum entry... its so damn good. So good. So good. The 3rd LP will have 13 rare bonus tracks, and the LP will be numbered with a leatherette sleeve. Awesome. Amazon has a great price on this record ($27.99). MusicDirect is $50... Official description: 15 years ago, Badly Drawn Boy released his debut album, the pop masterpiece The Hour Of Bewilderbeast on XL Recordings. This 15th anniversary expanded edition is presented on numbered limited edition triple vinyl packaged in a stunning wide spined leatherette sleeve. When The Hour Of Bewilderbeast was originally released in 2000, it was met with critical acclaim and won the Mercury Prize that year. The album is both ambitious and extremely entertaining and while it's not a traditional pop album, it's a continually beguiling trip through lo-fi postmodern folk, drawing as much from Harry Nilsson as it does Beck. The album is considered to be Damon Gough's defining work and this edition adds to the album's lore with 13 rare bonus tracks. Billboard called The Hour Of Bewilderbeast, "A wonderfully offbeat blend of atmospheric folk and lo-fi rock that never fails to charm...." while in their inclusion of the album on their top 20 albums of 2000 and one of the 1001 albums you need to hear before you die, Pitchfork hailed that, "a debut this acclaimed is truly a rare feat." To celebrate the 15th anniversary of the release of The Hour Of Bewilderbeast, Badly Drawn Boy performed the classic album in full, plus other hits and favorites, at shows around the UK in 2015.

Yes, but our version comes in a black paper bag with 40 different text variants. $69.99 retail

Normally I'd support this decision however in this case THE DANDELION HANDS COMPELS YOU you do want to variant collect tapes variant collecting tapes is your favorite thing

Holy shit these are all so terrible bahahaha

Good call man. Collecting is fun and I know we're on a vinyl board but everyone needs to know when to give it a break for a bit, myself included. A hobby isn't worth it. Something you want will always pop up online later, even if it is a bit more expensive. Stay safe n keep on spinnin guys xx

It's only $12! You can afford that!

I got an audition for Ozzy Osbourne, I think I'm ready

I'm gonna set you straight man because I wish someone had done it for me, but heavy spending will destroy you man. Try selling off some old shit you have laying around. I'm coming from a place with love and only because I've been there myself. You gotta set those priorities high otherwise you'll be trending the same patterns well into your 30s. I'm 27 and barely figured it out, hoping you're younger and open minded to my statement! I feel you! <3

The Juturna deluxe 10 year anniversary edition is on Spotify, for anyone just looking to listen to it before the record comes in.

I got a priority package to my house yesterday. Totally dfferent address. Package belongs about 20 mins away. I guess I work for the post office now as I am going to deliver this to where it belongs

I went at MCA as Nathanial Hornblower a.k.a. Nathan Wind as Cochese from the Sabotage video last night.... Despite attention to detail, most people thought I was "just a seventies cop" edit:

Dumb internet shit is my specialty

received my 180gram today!

At the end of the day, what matters is the music on this gem. Briefly listened to this, this morning. I can concur that it sounds good from what I listened to. I cannot stress how happy it is to get this for under $30! The OG was way too costly on the secondary market. Here's hoping to Splendor Solis next....

A couple of lathe cuts i had made recently (under the gristlejaw pressing co. moniker). 1 copy only of each record. I finally have Clutch's Transnational on LP! Also included here Clutch LP with demos, outtakes and promo-only live songs with adapted artwork from a promo CD from that era. Rumbleseat "Demonstration" LP with unreleased songs and demos found as Hidden tracks on the...is dead CD. Crustaceans was a Gainesville band that featured Samantha Jones (Rumbleseat, Bitchin', vanbuilderass).

Not gonna lie, I've never seen this album out in the wild. I feel so left out now ...

Wish I would have picked up the Rules cassette.

This is really exciting news. This reissue was fourth of my want list, right behind: 1. "The Best of Perry Commo" Readers Digest Collector's Edition box set. 2. Random, extremely dusty Glen Campbell 45 in generic white sleeve. 3. Beat to hell sleeve of some random Beatles album with heavy pen scribbling, John and Paul's eyes crossed out and hearts around Ringo's head, missing the vinyl. Thank you, vinyl comeback!!!

What you all don't understand is that, the more you criticize ETR or this release, the more Stl Ben has to keep posting that he doesn't care and in fact benefits from it.

Christ you are dense.

This whole post-hipster "this place used to be cool before all these people started to think it was cool" attitude is really played out and pathetic.

Sorry, I forgot this was Paul Collective. Or Punk Collective Proboards Collective 2008 Collective My Music Taste is Better Than Yours Collective

I think that type of punk the board was founded on is pure garbage and people that enjoy that type of music put it on far too grand of a pedestal.

I love MS and Caspian. : )

It always like that with bands I like, they come to Paris and then go to all the small german town. Weird

From everything I've looked into... Amazon.de Much cheaper than Amazon.uk and any other UK-based retailers, and cheaper than any Netherlands-based retailer too, especially when you consider how reasonable the shipping is.

all I need is the standard black and c-sides. I have one last promo cd heading my way. e: I feel like it should be said that I don't sleep on this mattress. I just happen to have a bare mattress in my record room. e2: did dsu ever get a jewelcase release?

Deluxe any day now.......?

solid jams. new albums from rival consoles and yppah are worth checking out as well.

There are components of your rant that are truly justified, Satan: the recent increase of (misplaced) threads dedicated to Fall Out Boy inquiries and Paramore pricing. The New Bermuda dude who's genuinely upset that his colored wax doesn't match the mockup photo. The never-ending stream of complaints about shipping costs, corner dings, flipping records, and securing tour variants. It's nothing new, and it's more than alright to blow off some steam now and then. However. You're complaining about what makes VC so tough to browse, some days... but the irony here - if I'm being brutally honest - is that I'd rather read about seam splits and absurd MSRP prices over "VC veterans" grasping for attention. I've called you out before because you post some of the dumbest try-hard shit I've ever seen on the boards. Ranging from comments that broadly dismiss everyone's tastes (i.e. "There's a similar discussion to this one going on in the [ ] thread, but none of you would know that because you all listen to shit") to tastefully posting "ya'll are a bunch of faggots" in the middle of a discussion on [homo]sexuality – and why it's not alright to post derogatory comments pertaining to it. I mean, I get that you're trying to be ironic or witty by attempting to derail topics in the flashiest ways possible. But it just comes off as "hey guys look at me i'm being all edgy and shit lol". It's embarrassing, and it induces way more cringes than any number of non-ironic Crosley threads will. At least for me. I've been accused of being a VC elitist more than once. I'm pushing 9,000 posts, I'm aware, and I've been a member for nearly 7 years now, but the majority of those posts (and time) have been spent on niche discussions about music I'm excited for. I don't regret them. I do a lot more lurking than posting, and find myself scrapping a huge portion of my posts when I consider the weight of my words and whether or not they're even worth submitting. [This post, for example, has been considered for deletion at least three times now.] I was a part of the Proboards just like you were, so, yeah, I've seen some shit. And I feel like there will always be new topics and members to point and laugh at. I can't deny that it's nice to have a little fun with the newbies now and then, and I'm all-too guilty of getting in the periodic jab when a redundant questions begs for a sarcastic response. But there's no reason to continually harass new members past the point of some light initiation hazing. As far as tastes? – it's all subjective, sure, but you're right: as a collective, this board's tastes are fucking terrible. There. I said it. More and more young people join every week, and there also seems to be a select group of adults who are chomping at the bit for Blink-182 reissues. It's whatever. But you need to stop stressing it and just adapt. I don't even graze the Hot Topic repress threads, because - as snobby as I may sound - I basically have zero interest in 99% of the music that Travis is pressing splatter copies of. Why rain on someone else's parade, or waste the energy to post something negative in a thread clearly catered to discuss the excitement for a release in a positive environment? It seems pointless. Work can get a little boring for me, of course, but there are a million other things to read and interact with, on the world wide web. Once you develop a knack for letting those threads bubble up to the top of the boards while still tuning them out, it becomes pretty easy to lighten up and care less about the "inferior" music that so much of VC seems to be stuck on. I love a good discussion on genres, tastes, and what it means to explore new music; even if I poke fun at the folks bouncing off the walls for My Chemical Romance represses, I don't think that I'm somehow better than them because my tastes have "evolved" past "high school drivel". I just keep on scrolling and find something relevant to my interests. It's pretty easy. Members being attacked for their age is just stupid. I agree that an occasional joke is worth posting when the comedic timing is right, but when users are being ridiculed just for being younger [or older] than the general age pool? Come on. DOMAN's in high-school and posts more articulate, relevant replies - that are in line with the forum rules - than a huge portion of new members. And Don (drds89) is probably old enough to be my dad, but has no shortage of excellent recommendations and positive things to contribute to a lot of quality threads. Point at hand? – age is moot. Let it go. If you really want to keep at it and get nasty, though, we can talk about your sleek "ninja edits", where you go on caps-lock tirades and then proceed to backspace them, leaving a simple "sorry I was drunk" in their place. Losing your cool to someone half your age, flying off the handle, not having the balls to stick by your initial rant, and blaming it on a mid-day buzz? That's pretty cool, I guess. But proceeding to reply with "fuck the fuck right off, you don't know me or my sense of humor" when someone casually calls you out on it – that, right there, is the true essence of pushing 30. Give me a break, man. I'm all for healthy, isolated rants and I'm also a sucker for irony. This topic delivers both in spades. Sorry if I come off as a condescending prick. I'm just staying true to the thread's theme, I guess:

They just want 1000 posts so Scott can see their posts!

Just be patient and you'll find out! It will arrive when it arrives, ya know?

This is going to be good.

I'll never understand why people get so butt hurt when people sell things. God forbid you sell something you own. Do you guys drive around on weekends egging garage sales?

I had to order it...248 euros is a good price i think
