This album has been my tried and true go-to for sparking sensual evenings with the lady. No way she’d let me miss out on picking up a copy. Which variant do you guys think will be the least noisy?

given total freedom and choice... would have done a 2xLP at 45 rpm. But we are getting hammered with the license cost so 1 it is. crossing our fingers.

She's a keeper.

500 Clear with Gold Splatter 1000 Olive Green 1000 Black initially (although we will keep the black in press as we do for all releases post 2015). Don't believe in limiting the black. To us the black is the main one, the other stuff is bonus. Gatefold with printed inner sleeve. No download code with this one. Also doing a reprint of the Ccamo "Praise The War Machine" shirt to bundle with it. New 24bit audio master made from the final mixes so we could get as hi-def of a cut as possible - especially since we are REALLY pushing the side limits on this one. A double was unfortunately out of the question due to the cost of getting the license for the album in the first place. The "japanese" funeral of god artwork is also included as part of the packaging (the new back cover since the original CD technically didn't have a "back". All orders will go through the zao bandcamp page and will be fulfilled by Tragic Hero Records (who we are partnering with to do this) - Pricing will be Media Mail based for the most part. As a result of Tragic Hero shipping Funeral on their own. You can still order stuff that is out now and not have to wait for your pre-order. No cross bundling of Funeral and anything else we have. prices are about 23 for Olive and Black. and 25 for the splatter.

Merzbow - "Pulse Demon" is out 05.11.18 on 2xLP colored vinyl for the first time ever via Bludhoney Records. This legendary 1996 psychedelic harsh noise masterpiece has remained among the most extreme and polarizing albums ever recorded, every bit as intense and cathartic today as it was two decades ago. "Pulse Demon" is the holy grail of the Japanese noise god's discography - brimming with unrestrained energy and vibrance, this influential masterwork decimates listeners with pulverizing bursts of pure sound. We're honored to present the official reissue of "Pulse Demon", pressed on 2xLP colored vinyl and housed in a holographic gatefold jacket featuring fully restored original artwork. Limited bundles include an exclusive "Pulse Demon" cassette with full-bleed pad printing and a holographic J-card. Don't miss out - "Pulse Demon" releases 05.11.18 at 12:00 PM EST: http://bludhoney.com/

Next up Obsidian Glass standard variants

Don’t forget that they’re trying pretty hard to reinvent the variant formerly known as “coke bottle” into sea glass. I’ve seen it a couple of times on their product pages. I think their endgame is to get newcomer vinyl enthusiasts to clean all their shit with Windex.

Congrats on this release! Bludhoney is literally my favorite label.

Thanks for the heads up on that too. I have the original press for that, and also fuel it turns out, too. Just put them on, and I hope these get pressed with better quality/remastered. Not that my system's all that great or anything, but it doesnt feel like the 90's first presses got the love they deserved here..

Not sure why they list this as a first pressing. Also, Sponge "Rotting Pinata" is coming out soon too.

No...ender his bed. #whyamihorny

I was lucky to find an OP online for like $15-20 in 2011, but I’d be all over this otherwise! Maybe this means Something Like Human will get pressed.

Shimmer came out as a single for this during the summer before my freshman year of high school, and this album became one of my most listened to records of the year, and one of the very few that I routinely revisit. I've been wanting a copy on vinyl for a long time but have never had the chance to snag one, so thanks for posting this. Is it a cash grab? Yeah, sure. But, it's one that I'll happily throw $30 at. I've gotten way more than $30 worth of enjoyment out of it in the last 20 years.

Silver sticker and seam splits here too, but there is so much ROCK on those records, that it BUSTED through those top seams!!!

VMP will have a clear glass /1000.

Bullmoose: http://www.bullmoose.com/p/27276495/fuel-sunburn Really thinking about this.

I remember fuel- had some good songs and yeah, this was never on vinyl before. Looks like red's the one to get at x300

I love Om and High On Fire (and I never really thought I would) but there is no comparison between Sleep and those bands. Sonically, there are touches of Sleep in both bands but most of those bands' records have been consistently available (with a few exceptions) and there hasn't been the cultural mystery and fanfare for those bands as neither produced an album of as large of a landmark status that ended up being the bar against which a particular style has been held up to. Sleep have had a mythology of grandeur and rightfully so, I would say. The subsequent bands that were born from Sleep's break up are generally lauded and held in high regard by many but those same three guys aren't going to produce something that gains the status of Jerusalem/Dopesmoker on their own outside of the collective of Sleep as a band proper. They went on to form new bands under their own shadows. Sleep as a specific group (even lacking the original drummer from their classic, most successful lineup) and their name carry an air of sanctity in their genre and among their fans new and old. I doubt they ever sought that status specifically by doing what they did but their output and the scarcity and limitation of that output only further imbues them with aggrandizement. They had two albums as Cisneros/Pike/Hakius. Holy Mountain was well loved and established a culture of "Sabbath Worship" and Dopesmoker was venerated and used as a rite of passage in the Doom/Stoner metal community. It was bootlegged and scarce and it was also a major feat of execution and creativity. Both albums were out of print or non-existant on vinyl for a long time as well. That's why the fanfare over Sleep is and will likely remain greater than it is for Om and HOF. And all that carries over into the present with the weight of their unlikely reunion in 2009 and subsequent tours and then the idea that a whole new album was a possibility spurned by the release of a warmly received single in 2014. Sleep has been an institution longer as well obviously. Their fanbase has been gestating with their material for a long time and I'd say they are more popular now than they've ever been.

New song is great!! I'm gonna wait to grab at Amoeba or Bull Moose. Their last "deluxe" edition is still super easy to find for cheap.

That’s a given. You think I sport this avatar just for fun?

The extra LP it comes with is phenomenal. I liked it better than the actual record (All Melody), but I prefer his softer, melody-driven piano tracks.

I think it might be their way of saying "ultra clear" or whatever equivalent looks clear like a window. At least I hope so.

pinkshinyultrablast - Miserabe Miracles is now streaming here: http://drownedinsound.com/in_depth/4151767-pinkshinyultrablasts-track-by-track-guide-to-miserable-miracles also it looks like there is a retail variant for this now as well, pink/white merge. not sure what the pressing numbers are though

You guys finally broke me on this one.

I actually wasn't even aware that this was previously pressed, I thought it was a promo-only thing haha. I'll update our website and future posts - thanks for the heads up.

The Rough Trade USA shop is stocking the 3-LP version of Nil's album now. It's sold out at ErasedTapes and they say there will be no re-pressing. www.roughtrade.com/us/music/all-melody

1,800g for maximum fidelity.

SOLD As I said before, my copy of Human Fall Flat arrived with some pretty awful scratch marks through like 1 1/2 songs on side A. Super Rare was awesome enough to send me a replacement copy and it looks and sounds great. So if anyone wants a free Human Fall Flat record, I’d give it to you since it’s just going to sit around. Just asking that you pay me $5 for shipping. PM me if interested.

Clear glass?

Which I checked and would be 9AM EST

Got the hook up on a green. I'm pretty stoked to give this a spin.

$30.67, I reject this new accepted price point for 1 LP reissues. But they're in Orange or Red! Holy Moses! Probably would have preordered one if they were cheaper.

Exactly! If anything, the “top tier” should be the one that’s $250, then $150, and then $75. And even that’s being super generous.

From tier 1 to tier 2, just a better box it seems? With metal clasps? For only $100 more! And then the mega bundle has... an even bigger box, bookends (so dumb) and... I don't know. Somebody thought this was a good idea.

Goddamn I love this thread. Good morning boys Oh, and Derek, you're still a D bag #corons

The whole replacement LP for the Dua Lipa has reached comedy of errors levels. Received the replacement for the damaged one that had been sent out in just a bag. Arrived in proper LP mailer. OK. But looking it over noticed that the price sticker on the back was different (lower price) than then original. So opened the two records just to see if they were the same. Sure enough, the original damaged one was the Pink vinyl I had ordered, while the replacement one was the regular Black. Had some back and forth with UO on Twitter messaging about this whole thing and they just told me to keep both copies. I guess I'm OK with that. But I do have to find the ridiculousness in the whole matter.

Actually this was on vinyl, but still a good album worthy of a repress. https://www.discogs.com/Fuel-Sunburn/release/2032468

Apparently Control Records (http://controlrecords.bigcartel.com/) is putting up 35 copies sometime next week... Hoping to snag one myself!

that pressing is sick too. The new one does look nice, but I always love how bootlegs always have really cool artwork and colors for the records.

Almost one year and no news of my order...they don't even reply to e-mails. This is the last time I buy anything from Toby Driver directly

That’s the reason we’re all pissed. It would be like if Paul McCartney started doing this shit. You just know he’s better than that and it’s painful to watch thats also a terrible argument. Spielberg hasn't earned the right to put out shitty movies in 2018 since he gave us ET, Jaws, Saving Private Ryan, Jurassic Park and Raiders of the lost Ark.

This is exactly like Moses Garza III, except way more sad/pathetic I don't care what story you tell me that explains why you're posting a pic of a mayo taco, fake or real. Cringy on purpose is still cringy

Really? I feel the exact opposite: Don't get why they always do clear Loser Editions; variety is the spice of life after all.
