I’ve been very curious about this lately. Is this because you’re in your 20s or because you didn’t start collecting until 5 years ago? 
 

A part of what made me, an actual human and, a collector are 7”s. I see all you dingbats complain about them constantly and it’s fucking bewildering to me. 

I’ve been collecting for over 20 years, and I’m not huge on them, either. 

I went for the Revolver variant. That 7” box is super cool, but I have nowhere to put it! Haha. I’m sure that’ll be a sound investment for all who are game.

I've spent much of covid building my jazz collection. Those Punk Note versions spoke to me but I have my originals of all of these. I am really tempted, but do I really need variants? 

 

Glad Quickness is getting a repress. It's so good. I can't help but feel like if it didn't have "Don't Blow Bubbles" that it would be talked about similarly to the first two albums. Song was out of step at the time it was released, remains even more so today. 

They’re remasters, so I’m going for them! 
 

I absolutely love those Punk Note covers as well. I grabbed S/T with Rock For Light when it went back up. I’ll bite the bullet and pay separate shipping for Quickness when it goes up  - sounds like that one may be a ways away with current production times. 

And of course the S/T sells out before they put preorders up of the other two. Why couldn’t they just do a normal preorder for the 3?? MerchNow was absolutely clueless as to what was going on for the rollout upon contacting them as well. So bummed at how they handled this one. 

It’s great, as you’d imagine. Bob Ludwig mastered, Chris Bellman cut.

Preorders aren't up yet, but I just noticed that placeholders for the Punk Note versions of Rock for Light and Quickness are showing up in the store. Might be old news now, but these are so rad I had to share.

Waiting to pull the trigger on all 3 of these at once. I wish they were all available to preorder!

There will be a different color for indie stores. 

Whew!! That’s good news. I snoozed and the black sold out on Scat’s web store. 

Where’s the press release from? Waiting to see if Kings Road announces any variants. 

So did a US press just not happen with these? Anybody have any updates? Same deal with a US Amazon preorder - just sitting waiting to be fulfilled. 

They’ve since lowered the price to $199.96. Guess they got approximately zero orders priced $30 higher. I gotta say, real ballsy of them. Especially after such a shipping debacle on these initially, and dunno about you all, but my copy is pressed off center. Real winners.

I got the email and assumed it was going to be a dumb price, but I couldn't have guessed it would be that dumb. I need to unsubscribe from Riot Style. 

I emailed them and said, “I think the price was entered incorrectly.” We’ll see if I hear back. Haha 

Excellent condition throughout with original box and packing material. 9” Evolution carbon fiber arm, Clamp It, upgraded Connect It cables, and heavier counterweight. Ortofon 2M Red cartridge aligned and ready to go! Mahogany finish. 

Located in Brooklyn, NY. Would of course prefer a local deal, but have no problem shipping.

Asking $1150 shipped or $1100 local, PayPal only and will include the fees in that. Thanks!

Arrived today! Killer packaging. Home too late for a spin tonight, but very much looking forward.

Speaking of which, this Stay Positive reissue sounded like absolute shit, right? Like, a terrible cut (to say nothing of the mixing changes they did on the actual remaster). 

Haven’t spun the LP yet believe it or not, but the digital remaster sounds very weird to my ears. Definitely some excessive mid/side stuff going on in mastering.

So is Europe getting these on the release date? I'm seeing the clear and pinkish on Instagram. 

Yeah strange that there would be a month’s difference in production!

Anyone else got refunded? I ordered the white vinyl and did not cancel the order. Got an email from Paypal that I got refunded. Bummer..

Aw, that sucks! I ordered white as well, haven’t received any refund notifications :/

Just got the email, they credited me back the difference.

Dude man, it's there. 

Promise it wasn’t, Satan! I think it depends on browser, payment method, or something. I’ve had this happen in the past with them - typically it’s there, but every so often it doesn’t appear as an option.

No media mail option?

I didn’t have one either. Emailed Kings Roas to see if they could switch the shipping method for me. They’ve done it in the past.

While we're here, any leads on a red MOV aside from discogs? Barnes & Noble seller advertises red vinyl but when I ordered it was the black that arrived. Would prefer not to pay outrageous overseas shipping.

I ordered one from eBay and had the same thing happen - advertised as red, arrived black. 

Digging up an oldie here - anyone had both the OG and the red MOV press, which did you feel sounded better?

Really like this album, but I too am balking at the price.

Single pocket for 4LPs instead of a slipcase. It’s a good pressing. But it’s pretty basic for $70. 

I actually prefer this these days - space getting limited on my shelves in my tiny apartment, the shelf hogs are a killer!

Got this in the mail today, beautiful packaging. 

The packaging is gorgeous! Really nice die cut cover.

Is it just me, or is the mix on this a little wonky? Seems to be some slap delay on the drums?? That was an odd choice. I'm only a couple cuts in, we'll see how it grows on me.
