    Since Bloodshot went under, yep. I think there was a repress after his passing.

    Really excited for this. Don't need the mono because I have the music matters Mono LP in blue, so I'm good there. Excited for the alt-takes in the stereo.
     
     
     
    Also, the prices are great for what they are (like all Tone Poets).

    Their records sound great. IDGAF about the rest.
     
     
    But $125 is too much for them though.

    In case anyone is interested, it’s been confirmed that Mofi has had digital steps in records labeled “Original Master Recording” including their One Steps.

    It’s. United pressing. I guess the euro pressing is better. It’s optimal, I think.

    The ads have become more and more intrusive as time has gone on.  It used to be one little banner snuck in near the top of the page.  Then eventually 2.  At some point I noticed that there’s one that loads – very “conveniently” – near the very top of the browser on mobile, after you expand your notifications.  Super easy to accidentally tap that one if you’re in a hurry or not paying attention.  I tolerated all of these for a while because I absolutely do not support SRC or whoever VC is in bed with, these days, and I’m sure there’s costs for keeping the lights on.
    But a couple of months ago, the ads seemed to really ramp up in size and aggression.  The worst was the heinous, oversized blocks that would appear between paragraphs in longer posts.  But the tipping point, for me, was a completely vertical poster for… I think it was Alaskan flights / travel?  It took up the entirety of the screen on mobile.  I could see the forum’s color scheme peeking out from behind the edges of the ad, but had to scroll the total length of my phone’s display just to see the first thread, or reply, or whatever content I was trying to read.
    That’s when enough became enough.
    I went into the App Store and grabbed a couple of blockers for my phone.  Desktop has always been ad-free for me, but a lot of my browsing is on mobile, and I’m not going to compromise when ads are that excessive and obnoxious.  Haven’t looked back and can’t imagine trying to browse this site without some sort of blockers, going forward.
    Moral of the story: if you’re going to spam ads for revenue, know your limits.  Ya’ll could’ve had me with a few modest banners here and there but ya’ blew it.

    accept that things happened in the past and that we can’t change it or the present and we should just make the best of how things are, like a sister that is there for us no matter what, or a record that we can’t return and just move on?

    IS anyone siding with them? I think if anything most of us are just pessimistic that you'll get what you're looking for. I don't think anyone is looking like a corporate bootlicker here.
     
    But at some point there has to be a statute of limitations for a return/exchange/refund. And I get that a label should make good on flawed products, but the history of the vinyl records shows that stores can't even return product. So you've got an uphill battle.
     
    But go for it. I'm sure people that still have an IGD positive copy would love to return it.

    People complained back in 2012 and started a petition and everything and Virgin universal did nothing then. No way are they doing anything now.

    Amazon has Free All Angels up as well for 16th September release
    https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09S6BF844
     
    Ash's Twitter says 3 big announcements coming in the next 3 weeks so if 2 of those are 1977 & FAA vinyl, Nu-Clear Sounds might also be announced or all the vinyl reissues might count as 1 along with a new LP and a tour!

    I really don't like the discogs app interface. So do discogs, but with a better interface.
