aphasias

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.

Up on Bandcamp now - https://muslimgauze.bandcamp.com/ 

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.
 

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.

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.

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.

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!

Looks like The Crow OST may be finally getting a standard edition reissue on October 2nd.

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.

It looks like an 8th grader made that artwork in Microsoft paint

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Tool. The lyrics are extremely complex and without a solid grasp of the Fibonacci sequence most of the words will go over a typical listener's head. There's also Tool's uncommon time signatures which is deftly woven into their characterization - Maynard's personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these songs, to realize that they're not just music- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Tool truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Maynard's famous song "Hooker With A Penis, " which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Maynard James Keenan's genius unfolds itself on their record players. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have an Ænima tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

As long as Rip Tide is still cloth bound with foil lettering than I think the artwork is fine. It would be very dull if it were simply a brown sleeve with the title printed in matte gold ink. It's $2 more than the others, hopefully that's why.

Their first 3 albums are being reissued:

For anyone still looking for the 2 Sigur Ros

There is also at least one retail variant of the Hymn reissue. "Pearlescent Blue-Green" /1,000 is listed at Bullmoose. "Metallic Ocean Blue & Green" /1000 is listed at Deep Discount. The listings have the same UPC and the descriptions are similar enough that they may be the same, but they use the same canned promotional description that is identical in every other detail but the color of the vinyl.
 
 

Both came out on the USA, but my guess is you guys have Us And Us Only listed since I personally didn't see any Some Friendly when I was looking for it at your Oakland store yesterday.

Those Sigur Ros titles are now available as standard preorders:

The player is $70 according to this article:

I would pick up the Rancid 3" if it weren't part of a blind box just to have as a sort of oddity.

Wonderland was repressed recently for the European marketplace.

Us & Us Only has always been my favorite so I'm hoping it's really happening.
