For me - probably the Eminem or Bruce Springsteen box sets.

ooo i received (and accidentally opened) the first package from my secret santa. thanks a bunch SS, can't wait to see what else is coming!

... i feel uncomfortable

Kinda salty that my order got canceled (only order 1 Bruce and 1 VU) and people got orders filled for 10 of the same box.

Yes, as some have stated, this is a one-person label. I have never not shipped someone's order. This is also not my first foray into large box sets, it's my third. And overall it's my fifth box set release ever. Quite frankly, there is nothing to worry about. But, I understand people will worry even if I say that. The main points are that I have been doing this now for several years, tons of releases, and even some similar stuff. Also, this is a legally registered business within Finland, and the entire company would fall into a tailspin of legal complications if I decided not to comply with my own sales terms, completely ruining the label or any future opportunities for myself or my artists. Also, I spent 2,5 years designing and building this set, the final parts are put it for sale, wait for the manufacturing to finish, and shipping them out. Basically, the most difficult work is done. There are no reasons for me to flake on the set whatsoever because the downsides for not following through are far worse than actually just putting it for sale and finishing it. Here is the full 3D mock of the marble edition. Emperor "The Complete Works" Box Set - MARBLE EDITION Transparent blue base with black marble vinyl. Limited to 222 copies. 50 center labels 26 heavyweight inner sleeves 24 heavyweight LPs 10 heavyweight triple-gatefold jackets 4 heavy card stock inserts 3 posters 1 heavyweight 7" 1 92-page hardcover book 1 heavyweight 7" gatefold jacket 1 two-part heavy-board outer box 1 slipmat 1 cassette tape (for 2015 orders only) 1 signed lyrics sheet (for 2015 orders only) * Please note that the records are pressed by hand with actual physical materials, so the amount of marbling will vary from record to record.

As opposed to someone who just buys whatever pitchfork tells them to. i'm 100% positive you own a belle & sebastian scarf

Yes sir! 5 mins from my house! I got tickets right Arcoss from the camera

All the cool kids are doing it.

Got mine a few weeks ago but was moving so tough get time to do this! Better late! I used to have the FJM album so it's nice to have again. Haven't heard anything from Flying Lotus so I'm ready to play it! I have no clue who my Santa is, but thanks!

Honestly one of the best responses I've gotten so far cause most people just shout what a fuckface I am and how they hope I go bankrupt and become a destitute failure in life until I kill myself. Kudos to you man for being honest with yourself, haha.

i dont want it. and i'll pay the shipping (US only) let me know

I just went out and bought a 95 honda civic to play the cassette. So pumped!

That made me cry. Thank you for sharing your incredible story.

I'm sure I'll get massive down posts for this, but I honestly don't care. I thought this GoHastings sale thing was a total glitch and everything would be canceled, it happened recently on Amazon when a seller had their entire inventory discounted due to a "glitch", and they requested canceling all the records I ordered, which I agreed to. When I saw the GoHastings shit start popping up thanks to posts on here, I ended up ordering 6 - Enimem box sets and 4 - Bruce box sets thinking they would all be canceled, with the hope something would squeeze through on error. I missed out on a few things I wish I had ordered but I went to be while the feeding frenzy ensued which I wish I had ordered, thinking everything would be canceled and sleep was better. I have received shipping and tracking on all 10 orders. I'll believe it when I see it.

You either failed reading or geography

I don't like when people need complain about things that don't effect them.

Did a quick search and didn't see a thread for this. Anyone collect these? I have a few and think they look damn beautiful.

A friend of mine bringing me homemade eclairs! : ) She's the best!

HELLO IM CUTE I NEED VALIDATION BUT ALSO FUCK BLADE

Talk about timing... just received it in the mail today. So I would imagine yours is on the way as well.

I was kind of making sure I didn't miss something like it being cancelled. Also I have the patience of a toddler jacked up on candy waiting for something. Hah.

Started December 1 on my new training program for racing next year. Fuck complacency. Feeling pretty good overall. Still not 100% from the end of my heavy season but I'm mixing in more bike and swimming again and my body is digging it. Hoping to do my first 25 mile week in a while this week and get climbing back to marathon shape for May 1. Might run the half in Philly again in early April if anyone else is planning to be there.

Hahaha other world Tina was so great !!

Two Kevins Two Brians Two Jasons Two Jareds Two Doms And now Two Tinas

isn't loading at all for me

My package was at my parents' house when I was down there this past weekend. I am waiting to open it, though!

bunch of remixes don't even ask original band's permission - if the band likes it, it could stay, but if it sucks the band could push to get it removed from websites and other services as a copyright violation. others are friends, label mates, and acquaintances of the band that get to play around with their track and they publish the good ones. some are purposeful collaborations to yield revenue. if tycho specifically requested an artist to remix one of their tracks, then i'm pretty sure some type of royalty / song credit agreement is in place. this might also be self-funded, as i don't see any label affiliation which could explain the price and preorder window.

I hate mondo shipping costs but i have to say its more than fair they arent allowing that. It would be a fiasco to do all that refunding and its a special promo they are running for a certain period of time.

Haha, I was thinking the same thing. They told me the 20th of november that they were shipping the selft-titled really soon. We'll see.

I want a new Tycho album, not a remix one. Will probably listen to this anyway.

I think Price is really overrated and not clutch just like Kershaw. I feel bad you guys just keep overpaying guys like Sandoval

Just come to Richmond! We have many great record stores (Deep Groove, Steady Sounds, Vinyl Conflict, Plan 9) and dozens of amazing restaurants (Roosevelt and Saison are person favorites).

Is his name Canadia? If so, he has sold roughly about four Wintersleep albums in the past few days. I know I bought both the first and second album off him, and another member here purchased one too. I honestly want to believe that I am going to get these albums, but the more he sells, the more wary I am of his account considering he has zero feedback.

Oh! Somebody turn this story into a movie scenario! This can be drama called "Vinyl dream" when in the end of hard trip they finally find last copy of "Devil and god" with sticker on it. But its okay, because their bonds grew stronger and nothing can break them. (also protagonist finds out that his sister is actually long lost brother(he lost him on Nickelback show))

Just buy her a gift card to Whole Foods, Urban Outfitters, or Hot Topic.

The link that was posted a week or so ago said something like March 16th(ish)? I can't really remember. VIP bundles are supposed to go out before the tour.

I was at that same show! So so so good. Giraffage was incredible too but Porter completely blew me away. I already love the shit out of his music but the visuals he had put together for the worlds tour just elevated the experience. I was going through some rough life shit at the time and cliche as it sounds, being there emotionally reset me haha. Phenomenal performance. The themes in Worlds resonate a ton with me and the first time I heard the lyrics to Sea Of Voices (and Fellow Feeling, Goodbye To A World... do I need to go on) I was overwhelmed in the best way. A 100% shameless plug: a friend and I remixed Goodbye To A World and we're pretty hype about it. https://soundcloud.com/gearsss/goodbye-to-a-world-deimos-x-gears-remix-2015-vip

2016 :

ShipCon on Thirsday, arrived today (SoCal). Black is beautiful. All the instruments come off very well, for some reason I'm enjoying the cymbals the most. Recorded very well. Overall crackle throughout, but I've been hearing that on lots of my records lately, may need to examine my cleaning method or needle health, or just dry here lately (static). So happy it's here!! Oh, and got those raffle tickets. Includes lyrics to Song Silly (in English) and Commit Ballad (in Japanese).

Sweet. I just got 4 cancellation notices on my dry, gluten-free, sugar-less Hastings cake.

I already got mine. So yes, they will.

tfw thx hun but he still downvotes u

I don't often comment on here, but statements like these make me cringe. ITR is a consistently fantastic label. Not only do they remain committed to putting out killer releases, but in the increasing age of "limited edition" releases by labels who refuse to even acknowledge a pressing number, ITR remains true to their tradition of 200 colored copies at the same price as the standard editions. As well, though I don't know him personally, all communications / questions / emails I've ever had with Larry have been friendly and informative-- truly I'd describe him as a label owner who recognizes and appreciates dedicated fans of the label. "Really don't know what we spent $80 on"? You spent $80 on EXACTLY what was advertised. A limited edition pressing of the new Fuzz record on gold vinyl, limited to 300 copies, with a cover and poster unique to this release. Based on that description, did you really think this was going to cost $75 to produce? My assumption is that the high price was partially intended to cut down on flippers / a "middle man" market. It gets a lot of the money many would have spent on the secondary market (if this had been priced at say $30 and snatched up by those intending to flip) DIRECTLY to the label, which will be funneled right back into putting out more kick ass music. Larry clearly recognizes the popularity of Ty / Fuzz right now and is using that to generate funds for his label (300 copies is still extremely limited for a group as popular as Fuzz) while also cutting down on the number of people profiting off of flipped copies... obviously, the higher price will not eliminate flippers, but it has to have helped cut down a bit and ITR is still able to get a limited edition into the hands of collectors. Bottom line: If sending a extra money to a label I love (and who has provided me with countless great records / limited editions over the years) and keeping that money away from someone on discogs flipping a copy for 3-4 times the cost = getting ripped off that's a pretty sad comment on the state of record collecting these days.

I'm not the biggest fan of La Dispute, but they put on one hell of a show. Saw them in Chicago and their set was insane.

Zoom out. If the wave forms were really just cut off like that it would be more noise and distortion than music.
