Music On Vinyl does a lot of reissues in the Reggae/Ska/Rocksteady vein. I have several and they are well done. Also, Two Sevens Clash by Culture comes to mind as a recently reissued title worth checking out.

I’m sure the finished product is beautiful, but I won’t be able to fully appreciate it for a bit - my copy got punctured on the side and it actually bent one of the lps. Lenticular print escaped harm.

I was debating the one year sub as you get 8 free records (so 20 records total). The price comes out to ~$22 each before tax which made it seem bearable as there were enough titles to pick from. Couldn’t get the site to work while trying to confirm selection and gave up.

This is consistent with what I’d heard - the switch to new digital technology is what changed the whole vibe.

It’s available via the quicksand band store.

SRC reissues of Slip/MC were ~10-11 years ago so hopefully a fresh take on one or both. If this teaser is for an odds and ends comp then that would be even cooler if they did.

Looks like manic compression era logo Quicksand.

That sucks. They had me send my copy back “for system and stock purposes” in order to process the exchange even though I ordered a copy from Brooklyn Vegan and Hard Times. I’m skeptical they can get it right but claimed they can fulfill the orders. ”Yes, we will be able to fulfill your order for STRETCH ARM STRONG ‘RITUALS OF LIFE’ LP (Furnace Fest Exclusive – Only 500 made, Clear w/ Blue, Black, and White Marble Vinyl) and BrooklynVegan will be able to fulfill your order for STRETCH ARM STRONG ‘RITUALS OF LIFE’ LP (Limited Edition – Only 200 made, Blood/Black Swirl Vinyl).”

Update: Iodine confirmed it was a warehouse mixup when I asked on IG. Told me Project M sent the following for people to contact them: “You can point people to: mailto:[email protected] mailto:[email protected] mailto:[email protected]”

Believe so. I ordered that version as well but it hasn’t shipped from BV who were selling that specific colorway. Hard Times sent the FF version that I received yesterday. Same company but none of my current copies have any external identification as to variant plus the barcodes are identical.

Has anyone received the FF variant of Rituals of Life yet? My copy had the obi but the blood/black color vinyl inside.

Stretch Armstrong: I received the Furnace Fest edition from The Hard Times w/ the Obi strip but the blood/black swirl was inside (same color as the Brooklyn Vegan variant that I placed a separate order for but had not shipped yet). I sent an email to get the FF variant sent in place of the unshipped BV variant. A copy came from DW (gold/galaxy- looks great) and all of the copies have the same barcode and no external information identifying what version in inside.

Just got shipping notification and I appreciate the quick turnaround time.

Having all the b-sides together makes it worth it for me. I love a thorough reissue.
