Make this: but sell it for $300 instead of $3000. And also be based in the USA

I've always dreamed of a Kallax-like shelf, but with the records facing cover out in some type of crate that slides out on brackets so you fan flip through the album covers and slide it back in if that makes sense. The brackets would have to be super heavy duty. That would be awesome.

Last August we sold our house. Built a new house, finished it in October. Then decided to finish the basement myself. Been without records and audio for 10 months. About 3 weeks ago I finished the basement enough to start moving stuff in. It's a work in progress with still more stuff yet to come from the framers.

Mine, too

Received my copy today. The signature looks like the pen was running dry. Considering this is a collector's piece and how long I waited for it, I'm gonna send them an email to get another signature with a new Sharpie. Kidding. Really happy I didn't sleep on purchasing this.

Back in my day you preorded a Converge record without knowing which variant you got or what the variants even were. I doubt it'll be a full album pre-order. A full album announcement with the singles, probably. A 7" with those singles to go with the announcement, maybe.

OK! WE have some winners! Yes plural! I decided that since you guys are so great, that I'd double the test presses for this giveaway. I assigned each entrant a number and then used https://www.random.org/ to pick. Winners of the reject test presses: @highfives & @EquinoxDesignLab PM me for details on how to redeem! Thanks again all! Tell your friends!

A "Kallax" type shelf that has a "thinner" outline to accommodate more records when the units are placed next to, and on top of each other....BUT a stronger outline than an Expedit....AND some type of "sliding door" on the front that will conceal all the records inside, and keep the spines from being scratched up by the cats.... That would be my "dream" record shelf.

Wow...I never expected this much feedback! I don't have any specific concerns with my records. After listening to everyone, I feel comfortable about how they are stored now. As for the value, it's all relative. I have about a dozen pieces that are worth north of $300. For some, that is pretty minimal, for me, that's pretty high. Specifically, here are some things that I was thinking about when I made the first post: Ramones - Leave Home (test pressing) Misfits - Horror Business Warzone - Lower East Side EP (1st pressing) AFI - Sing the Sorrow Zombies - Odessey And Oracle (original pressing)

Good catch. Looks like the blue pressing is /500.

Looks like The Sound Of Vinyl has blue copies available... SOLD OUT

I've vowed to stop buying 7"s. I've done well for the last 2 years. But...Converge. Ordered the red

Cross posting for those of you rightfully ignoring the Newbury thread. https://www.newburycomics.com/products/ty_segall-melted_exclusive_lp?variant=43008213068

Well, I looked at it wrong to be honest with ya. I kind of figured in my head that the record player had a spot to be there, not just put there for the photo. So yes, now that makes more sense. It doesn't fit into the room I've got going on right now though. Anything like that would block the vents. I've got a 1950's antique case with the turntable on the top and we're also getting stackable modular cases. That would be my suggestion to the OP, make your stuff expandable. I love my antique case, but it's too small. It's been full for months and months.

@batman @BuzzersonKillwell Just got back from our VT trip. We weren't able to get outside of Waitsfield after our hike but was able to get my hands on some Sip of Sunshine, Heady Topper, Maine Beer Co - MO and Rock Art's Limited Access at the Village Grocery in town. I grabbed a pint of Hill Farmstead's Edward at Mad Taco and it blew me away. Such a superb APA! Also had Fiddlehead's Second Fiddle DIPA and Drop-In's Heart of Lothian Scottish Brown Ale during dinner at Fire & Ice in Middlebury before we started our hike. Both were really tasty. I was a bit surprised with Heart of Lothian, as it didn't seem to get much love in ratings, etc. Was super fresh/drinkable and had awesome flavor. Thanks for all of the insight and recommendations. Definitely looking forward to getting back up to VT/Maine again next year.

Preorders always go live at 1am eastern , emails around 10am Should be /500

Super good, super intense...

Dang! Someday I'll win something. Thanks for the fun contest though. Got the sunburst, so it's all good.

Who?

You might have some trouble fitting 12" records inside that 7" sleeve. But that's what she said.

Random bump. But I've been listening to a lot of Lil Peep, $uicideboy$, GHOSTEMANE, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Yachty, LIL UGLY MANE, XXXTENTACION, and Ski Mask The Slump God. Kind of a random combination I know, and I also know that a couple are laughable, but oh well. Enjoying the hell out of all of them right now,

There's a lot of good music coming out these days. I feel like ever since Odd Future came out and did their own thing in 2011/2012- more and more people are doing what they want to do with a lot of alt-rock, emo, and metal influences. I've been listening to a lot of Ghostemane, $uicideboy$, and nothing, nowhere. Starting to get into Lil Peep as of recent. What are some of your favorite artists right now? I want to find some new people to listen to. Here are some tracks by them: GHOSTEMANE x Clams Casino - KALI YUGA $UICIDEBOY$ - NEW CHAINS, SAME SHACKLES nothing, nowhere. - i've been doing well lil peep x lil tracy - white wine

Pre-orders are live, available August 25th. Stream the first single here: http://www.goldflakepaint.co.uk/new-music-queen-moo-gone/ Pressing info: Cloudy Clear w/ Red, Black, and Green Splatter /100 180g Black /150 Half Translucent Red / Half Black /250

have you tried your local dump? might be easiest to unload these there.

Buying records

I totally forgot about this record. I loved it in high school; listening again and it's still fucking awesome.

Fall tour co-headlining with thrice, balance and composure and chon. VIP vinyl version, says limited to 1000 with screenprint. https://www.showstubs.com/collections/circa-survive-fall-2017

Went for red. Rather give DW my money over KRM.

LOL Bud, what if I told you you can write bad songs about things that mean a lot to you. You've never heard a song about a super personal/meaningful topic that sucked ass? This sounds like the last 10 years of CCM Mom Rock distilled into 1 song:

I remember way back in the day when the 7 inch would sometimes have different versions of the songs that appeared on the full length. I wish that would come back. At any rate, had to buy this. Blue for me.

FYI Kings Road email said bundles get free shipping so if you want a shirt that's probably the way to go.

New album out later in 2017.

7" up at deathwish. https://deathwishinc.com/collections/converge/products/converge-i-can-tell-you-about-pain-b-w-eve

Hallo. A dane here. I don't live in Copenhagen, but I've been there a lot of times. As mentioned above then Route 66 is definitely worth a visit. You should definitely also visit Christiania when you're here. There is also dinner place which called spiseloppen as far I recall, they should have some vegan food for sure. Copenhagen Street Food is definitely also worth a visit. They have their own website, where you can read more about it If you're interesting in going for a concert while here then Vega is a nice place to visit. If you want to do some tourist stuff in CPH then I would recommend to go to Nyhavn. Lovely place where you easily can get something to drink and eat. There should also be some canal tours nearby nyhavn. It's a good way to see Copenhagen and the canal tours are not that expensive, you can check that out here http://www.havnerundfart.dk/canaltours/index.php?page=forside.php I've been in Stockholm a few times as well, but I don't know that much about Stockholm compared to CPH. Anyways, in Stockholm be sure to visit Gamla Stan. There is a record store in Gamla Stan called Plugged Records which is worth a visit, and there is definitely a few good places to eat and drink there as well. Also general advice. None of these countries use euro as currency. For the scandinavian countries, if you're out late at night there might not be any busses or trains going to your hotel, be sure to check the schedules. In denmark we got an app and webpage called rejseplanen. It's so easy to use and very handy if you want to use public transportation.

Same! Super stoked to have a special A&S piece in the collection.

Pretty much this. It's super concerning that this is only 2 releases into a projected 10+ reissue campaign/new EP series. Considering the amount of people who have $300+ tied up in this and the general incompetence/horrible communication of sandbag it wouldn't surprise me for people to start pursuing legal routes by the end of it. I was granted a refund a month ago today and they have stopped replying to my messages asking when I can expect my money. Which is pretty bad and leaves me without many options.

Glad youre having a good time so far!

@jonrawks @GHOSTDRONES Thom is planning a cassette run of Below The House soon. Will post links when it's up.

Route 66 and sex beat records in Copenhagen, and for food there are some amazing Thai places there, go to the rice market its owned by the same chef as the Michelin star restaurant KIN KIN also in Copenhagen. If you are looking for a little nicer place with amazing atmosphere go to HOST its got the 2 dots above the O. Also if you want to go to the coolest bar in Copenhagen look for RUBY. Its a speakeasy place that makes all craft cocktails and bourbon bar. If you don't go to any of these you will regret it. Also if you are looking for great sushi go to STICKS AND SUSHI on the top of an awesome hotel and there are usually really hot girls there. My X Gf from Sweden that I dated for 5 years lived there for 2 and I have been all through that city.

Second all of the above. Thanks Eric!

Summer between high school and college & my shifts start at 4PM. I ain't gotta be up for shit most days

To be fair, he said Eric White and Instagram. A google search takes you there.

Loving this album so far. Probably his best yet.

As far as "Mumble Rap": I dislike a majority of artists of that uhm...genre, but I think the people that are constantly complaining about it is even worse (*cough* TeamBackPack *cough*). I like the fact that there's something new happening and that Hip-Hop is evolving - whether you think it's headed into a bad stage or not. Change is good.

Because deep down inside, every aspiring musician dreams of the day that their music is purchased by a massive throng of exactly one people.

Imagine your album being so bad you have to resort to a gimmick like this.

IT soundtrack!!!

I'm just waiting for mumble rapping to end.

Newbury is a retail store not a record label. Any consistency you may find in their exclusive variants would be coincidence as there are different labels and pressing plants involved in each one.

To be quite honest, there were two years in a row where I think I bought literally every record, and you guys probably had my address/email cued up to memory. However late last year, and early this year, several of the records I bought just didn't catch me the same way all those previous did, and was a little disappointing with some of the hype on them to only be let down, so I kind of stopped keeping up with the label for a little while. I have no doubt that you guys vet all the releases you offer with the the utmost seriousness, and truly believe that they will be hits. Many dont become so because of their following, and like you said, a lot of your emo releases of the past carried these crowds over to similar releases, so these new ones get kind of lost on them/us. As I said, I haven't kept up in a while, so Ill have to stream a few of the new ones to see how they win me over, but current it's not a must-sub for me. Now if you were to say new releases by Prawn, Joie de Vivre, Caravels, Crash of Rhinos ect were coming down the pipe this coming year....well.../drool :0 Must love and respect guys! I'm sure thier will be some quality albums next year I will grab for sure.
