aphasias

Secretly Store has their opaque gold pressing with an autographed print. I went with that.

Ordered the Rough Trade exclusive. My experience with "eco -mix" vinyl as they're calling it (both the limited edition colored pressing and the standard black pressing) has not been positive. They are usually an ugly greyish mess as far as color goes and noisier than most colored vinyl. I have heard some say that paper will often make it's way into the recycled vinyl mix but I have my doubts on the validity of that claim. The autograph on the 4AD exclusive would have been nice, but I'd prefer the bonus CD and potentially cleaner pressing.

I was into the Charlatans for a while. My interest started to wane with Wonderland and by the time I saw them tour for Simpatico they had moved on from what I enjoyed about them and I lost interest. I've got recent reissues of Some Friendly, Between 10th & 11th, their self-titled, Tellin' Stories, Us & Us Only and Wonderland. I'd love it if they gave Up To Our Hips a wider released reissue. I've never listened extensively to Tim's solo music.

Magnolia exclusive on clear vinyl: https://magnoliarecord.store/products/big-time-clear Shipping is a couple dollars cheaper if you order the translucent green through Bandcamp rather than Hello Merch or Secretly. https://angelolsen.bandcamp.com/

Amoeba is also taking preorders for the white vinyl pressing. I was able to use the 2-day sale code MAR15 to take 15% off. https://www.amoeba.com/we-180-gram-white-vinyl-lp-arcade-fire/albums/4278452/ Up at Bullmoose as well. https://www.bullmoose.com/p/35394723/arcade-fire-we-white-vinyl-indie-exclusive-180g There is an exclusive picture disc pressing available direct from the artist. https://store-us.arcadefire.com/products/we-12-picture-disc

They also appear to be down to the last copy of the Bandcamp exclusive pressing of Jackal the Invizible.

Holding out on pre-ordering Muhammadunize until the Bandcamp exclusive pressing is out. Silver vinyl with a stitched, screen-printed, laser cut sleeve. Should be up early February.

Target exclusive Fear Of The Dawn on "moon glow" vinyl is up

Craft Recordings will be reissuing Why Do Birds Sing? On October 8th. They've put up preorders for standard black as well as an exclusive pressing on transparent red (750 copies). There is also an indie exclusive on smoke colored vinyl. No mention in the comments as to the source for the remaster. Craft exclusive red vinyl (750 copies) Also available from artist store Indie exclusive smoke vinyl Standard black vinyl Merch bundle

If you're not set on a signed copy, I did find a UK store, Intense Music, still taking orders. I'm not familiar with them. Comes out to the same price as Resident and Rough Trade were selling them for with shipping. It's also listed on discogs now. Maybe stores will start putting some up for sale there.

Really didn't want to pay international shipping ($40!) But I bit the bullet and ordered what looks like it may have been the last signed copy. They were sold out earlier, so it's possible they may list more for anyone interested that missed out.

The blister red must have sold quick. Tried for it this morning and it was already gone. Went with the indie exclusive via Bullmoose instead.

The other label involved with this release, Kontakt Audio, is still taking orders for the splatter variants. Hopefully they come through. https://www.kontaktaudio.com/shop/muslimgauze-uzi/

Looks like there will be an indie exclusive edition of 1,000 on red/black splatter vinyl, up now on Bullmoose with an October 9th release date: https://www.bullmoose.com/p/34655286/ They've also got the standard black pressing up for a couple bucks less: https://www.bullmoose.com/p/34655287/

My Plain Recordings pressing off Ladies & Gentlemen is nice to look at and more listenable than it's reputation suggests but I won't hesitate a moment to get VMP's reissue. Is it too much to hope they do a store exclusive pressings of their first two records with proper remasters as well?

Deep Discount has this listed now as well. They have a 15% of coupon through 6/30 (MEGALODON) That brings the price to $31.14 (plus tax where applicable). Comes out the same as the early Bull Moose price for me, but may be a good deal for others!

I hope they honor the old price! They usually do, but I have had them email me about a price mistake once before. They gave me the option of cancelling it paying the correct (higher) price.

2LP is up at Bullmoose ($33.97) https://www.bullmoose.com/p/34598665/mercury-rev-all-is-dream-coloured-vinyl

Looks like The Crow OST may be finally getting a standard edition reissue on October 2nd. https://www.target.com/p/various-artists-the-crow-original-motion-picture-soundtrack-explicit-lyrics-vinyl/-/A-80379421

The glow in the dark 12" is another in a very long list of Cleopatra reissues of the same 3 tracks in various colors. It's not authorized by artists and generally considered to be a low quality release. Don't bother with it. I'll be picking up the other three 12"s, though it does seem likely that they will be easy to find discounted in the not too distant future, just like the recent New Order reissues. I'm not sure how much of a market there is for 12" singles these days.

Deep Discount has it on clearance for $7.13 https://www.deepdiscount.com/fanatic-voyage/781484602019

The art really calls for a clear vinyl pressing, but I wanted the 7" so I jumped on the deluxe set on aquamarine. Not sure why they felt the need to include a CD copy...

My pre-order for the Special Edition is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. Couldn't turn down the option for unique hand-drawn artwork. It was supposed to have been limited to 50 but Emily mentioned on Instagram that she drew a few extras, some of which are still in stock. Definitely looking forward to hearing what the album has in store.

Target may have let the cat out of the bag. Temporary Residence seems to be releasing a long awaited reissue of Explosions In The Sky's debut How Strange, Innocence as well as giving The Rescue it's first vinyl pressing. Both are scheduled for August 16th and judging by price point and recent TRR release strategies there will likely be both black vinyl and retail exclusive colored vinyl pressings.
