  2. so stoked for this... i just wish outages were included :/
  3. thanks for posting to let us know!! glad i didnt miss this pre-order Ryan seems to write something beautiful about each of his 7" series and then eventually removes the 7" from his site and the nice poetry along with it. So for archival purposes, here is the latest linear notes on this 7" release: "Sometimes that LA sun burns right into your soul and deadens it in the most fantastic way. The night is hot and dehydrating. It doesn’t ever last long enough and everything is so over-illuminated that you forget what the fog is. Until once or a twice or year. Round midnight. Then you remember where you are. A summertime land where just around the corner things like weather and madness ride the seasons like seeds on the wind. Sometimes we crawl into PaxAm and there really is nothing left to do. Nobody is stuck. Electricity and instruments. Low light. Orange Light. There are no notes waiting to be transcribed into songs- there are not half-written jams to try and figure out what is what… there is just riff optimism and whatever a person couldn’t shake when they went to take out the trash that morning. Maybe something you overheard a couple arguing about across the wooden aisles of the Soul records section at Amoeba… you find the guitar in your hand faster than you would care to if it was how you explained all that to yourself. I am that guy. My pals seem to be that too. If we were into sports we would be the kind of person who wears a “newly laundered” jersey to a nice dinner. That sort of thing. This session is a bit of that up there but also some songs that were and still are part of this tear -- this, like, “I am living in the 80’s but not in a collective way” tear I am on, musically maybe… like in a way where musically and emotionally I let myself go into some soundspace…an imagined reality of not trying to be good at anything with an 80’s feel… but just a free place… a place to be loose in a way where you aren’t trying to change the world. I don’t want to change the world. I just want to tell you a story. Usually about how I feel. That 80’s sound.. what is that with me... it never realizes itself in a full record- well maybe Love Is Hell but really not even Love is Hell could handle a whole record of that- it steers into other things plenty, stylistically -- but that sound is REAL with me and I am ALWAYS able to tell a better story that way. Or usually. Or never. It depends who you ask. But that STYLE, man… as musicians, we can all act a hell of a lot more like a cowboy if someone puts us on the ranch and gives us some horse to ride into some sunset… Juno synths and my electric guitar pushed with delay just sort of creates the cowboy. The cowboy that just got out of seeing Back to the Future. Again. You see.. it’s best to strip it away like that- back to an acoustic guitar and a Linn Drum beat- there’s a safety to how open and raw it is. I forget where I am and I tell a new story. As a songwriter that is a requirement from time to time. So there’s that here. On My Life, by the way, is a survivor from the bizarre, necessary and life-changing-in-the-best-way “Alien USA”sessions. Blue Light…This tune was a guitar bass idea I had and I could NOT stop this. It all went down in an hour- band playing live to tape. Musically, this is such a cousin to “The Door” from Blackhole ( One day you will understand what that means- think Love is Hell/ More Mats ) Lyrically -- that bleakness...I had this vision of New York city this guy in a busted pair of glasses walking between subway cars…people texting each other glued to their information machines. I fucking know I get lost in that shit. Our faces "are like ghosts”, my friend Paul Cutler said “ when they are underlit by their phones”. Like we all become Bela Legosi lit -- but uncool. No cape. No Dracula. Pretty sure I borrowed Jeremy Stacey from the Benmont Tench session when we recorded this. Like he literally was on that session but I think he was net door with Glyn Johns while they were doing some overdubs. Lucky lucky. This was before PaxAm had the weird cat-print baffles. We had to work the ribbon mics extra hard and there was a lot of bleed but it worked. On My Life… well -- that’s a portrait of me maybe back in the early 2000’s on 2nd Avenue and A, having lived in a hotel that was once a children’s hospital for basically children with polio (ugh). I am CERTAIN it was haunted but by a sadness really that I cannot explain. Chris Farley died in that building. It has a heaviness that could swallow you. Windows too big to every fully close. Just the worst. Had some fun there though, those were the days that weren’t New York was alive and crazy with that buzz of the Stokes and the easy village in general was basically frozen in time from godknowswhat every single day … It’s fun while you break it. But then you break it. I Lost My Mind is me on everything I think- a riff from a batch of good ones… the basic guitar part had been a riff for a long time that I was carving out on my Stratocaster, the old one, every time I picked up the guitar and I just decided to unleash some Cure vibes in the studio one night… Well it turns out CREED ain’t the only band me and Charlie have in common from back in the day… we also have The Cure ( esp Disintegration )… Guess that was both out real high school shit I (among other actual record store snob respected bands… dont get me started people ) also that’s the one and only Daniel Clarke of Richmond fucking Virginia playing me out, like the cosmic Keyboard cat that he is on this tune. I think he had to literally mail the part to us. Remember the fucking mail? Woah! Mike is on here- Charlie is on here… There’s nothing but 7-11 grease on this one, ladies and gentlemen. Shined up with the funk. Maybe a little dash of the creeps on the side too. We over-season to taste and then paint-strip the thing. That’s why you build a studio. To go deep. ALL Studer 24-Track, ALL 2 inch tape- ALL pretty much on robots they made that only used to do ONE THING AT A TIME…. get that low harmonic sonic blast of actual bass frequencies on you. Bound to make ya smile a real one : )" Peace and Love… Beast-mode DRA March 5 2015- From the Emerald Isle "
  4. i wish vinyl films had a membership club that would allow die hard fans to get first dibs on releases like this. I always seem to be 24 hours too late to snag their releases b/c they go so fast!
  5. thanks for posting this. i'll hold off on my order until we can get further clarification.
  6. copies on eBay start around $500 and go up from there. Some as high as $680
  7. absolutely, check out the information straight from the manufacture. It is the definitive vinyl release for Stevie Ray Vaughan's albums. Not sure this will ever be topped: Stevie Ray Vaughan Texas Hurricane Limited Edition 200g 6LP Box Set from Analogue Productions SRV Has Never Sounded Better In Analog: Every One of His Studio Efforts Cut from the Original Master Tapes at Sterling Sound for Unbeatable Analog Fidelity LPs Pressed at QRP, Packaging Includes Deluxe Booklet and Gatefold JacketsThe raspy voice, Stratocaster guitar, and smoldering passion. A transfixing combination of amplified Texas blues, pyrotechnic jazz, and Southern-style boogie. Stevie Ray Vaughan is etched in our memories for many reasons, not the least of which are his unforgettable albums and recognizable tones. On Texas Hurricane, Analogue Productions meticulously cut the Texas slinger’s six studio efforts from the original master tapes and curated them in two 200g vinyl box sets. Texas Flood, Couldn't Stand the Weather, Soul to Soul, In Step, Family Style and The Sky Is Crying now sound so real in analog, it’s better than plugging a six-string into an amplifier right beside you. No expense was spared in elevating this years-in-the-making project to elite audiophile status. The label used the original 30 inches-per-second, half-inch analog master tapes for all of the studio albums as well as for the bonus tracks included on the SACDs. Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound cut the lacquers for the LPs using the VMS 80 cutting lathe. Gary Salstrom handled plating and the vinyl is pressed at Quality Record Pressings. The packaging is equally superb. A deluxe booklet comes standard. The LPs' gatefold jackets include rarely published, intimate photos. Andy Aledort, senior editor for Guitar World, wrote the liner notes with contributions from Vaughan biographer Craig Hopkins. Each records is protected by direct-to-board LP jackets and housed in a deluxe box (the first 1,000 are gold-foiled numbered). "I've also heard test pressings of these SRV albums and they will rock your world!" – Michael Fremer, AnalogPlanet "…It just may be that what we have here is the best replication of the master tapes to date...beautiful pressings of the six LPs. They've never sounded better." – Gregg Geller, producer and A&R representative "This is visceral, hair-raising stuff." – Andy Aledort, senior editor, Guitar World "Awesome sound! Big difference. The vocal and Stevie's guitar are in better focus, with the drums behind Stevie instead of on top. The ambiance is more woody and less tinny." – Craig Hopkins, Stevie Ray Vaughan biographer
  8. I think most anyone reading this classified ad doesn't need to be sold on the box set. You've probably read all the raving beautiful reviews all over this forum and every other place on the web. These vinyl will probably be the greatest SRV releases to exist and their value will only continue to go up once it is out of print (especially for the numbered copies like this one). I purchased this set and unfortunately i'm going to have to part with this joy. I've only listened to each record maybe once or twice each. Everything is in MINT condition. selling for $350 including free shipping with insurance. (within 48 continental states). I'll ship internationally but will have to charge additional shipping fees.
  9. awesome! can't wait to get a copy of Von on vinyl.... just crossing my fingers for Takk as well

  13. yeah i was burned by amazon and had to go the eBay rape route...
  14. Yeah Amazon canceled four vinyl pressings that I was waiting for this week (this being one of them). I just bit the bullet and bought it on eBay :/
  15. I am a huge Cameron Crowe fan and i always just seem to barely miss his Vinyl Films releases. Next thing you know they're on ebay selling for hundreds. I thought i could start this thread and we'll keep each other up to date with any news concerning releases, release dates, etc. For starters, here's the latest release as stated at the TheUnCool.com "Vinyl Films Records is pleased to announce the release of Mike McCready’s Music for Film 10″ vinyl. Side A features Mike’s songs from Pearl Jam Twenty and Side B includes his We Bought a Zoo compositions. Music for Film will be released on November 25th on black vinyl at an Indie Record Store near you and on lavender colored vinyl on December 10th at pearljam.com — check out the Vinyl Films Records page for all the details and track listing." hopefully i can pick a copy up this friday at BFRSD!
  16. at first i felt like the price was too steep but i purchased it anyways. Turns out the pressing is top notch. Not only did they use quality vinyl material but they pressed the album on TWO 45RPM vinyl and the package is very well made as well. All things considered the price of $30-33 is really good! I've paid $50 for most of my 45rpm vinyl and they aren't always packaged as nicely.
  17. it was flippin brilliant. I'm not a syfi fan but wow. This movie is just superb in every way. Had me thinking for days after seeing it last weekend.
  18. For me vinyl creates an atmosphere all on its own but there are many ways that vinyl can be played in conjunction with another type of atmosphere (solo, candle lit, community, drugs, alcohol, etc) lol My personal favorite seems to be late at night after the wife has gone to bed i go into the music room, search the shelf for something that calls my name... pour a whiskey, drop the needle and lean back in the recliner. Whats your favorite way to EXPERIENCE vinyl?
  19. my recent music room equipment purchase was my Martin Logan 700 sub. WOW, that thing is a beast. Since then i've spent the last few weeks trying to buy isolators for my turntable since the sub creates too much feedback when turned up more than half way. #firstworldproblems
