Derek™ Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 I personally own both... and while I strongly prefer the CD's art, I find myself unable to part with the OG vinyl just on account of how ridiculous that cover is. TWDY knew damn well what they were doing. toomanyrecords and Sad Heart 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumbo72203 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 that cover is so awesome. I need it. I also love the CD artwork. But man, that thing is so America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I think my big hangup has always been the inability to reconcile the OG album art with Burial On The Presidio Banks (and the rest of the album for that matter). Very subjective, I know I know, mere opinion, nothing to argue about, just throwing my 2c in. So I confess to selling my OG copy when the CD art version was pressed a couple of years ago. (And this from someone seriously art-handicapped and color-impaired re: 'matching up' things) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glass realms Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 all of those "Certified Rare" Young Mountain LPs are the pre-10th anniversary pressings. the majority of those sound like shit (super noisy). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the certified rare copies are old pressings they found in the back somewhere, along with spare sleeves and they added the hand stamp so they can charge more for it?

In this case to TWDY recording a new album, other cases it goes to a named charity, etc. So whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Another label dying a slow, painful death. These 'special editions' and represses into oblivion combined with a dearth of new bands/fresh material. Brent has said as such on social media. The move from Virginia to California didn't help either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zdkaiser Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Would someone be willing to share a digital copy of their self titled album with me? I've purchased mulitple copies on vinyl (one badly warped, one with terrible noise, all just lousy pressings) and none had download codes that worked. The domain for the download was expired. I reached out to MB Records about a dozen times about sharing a new code, but they just seem to be ignoring my emails. I just want to listen to the album in my car and don't want to fork out more cash, since I've purchased multiple vinyl copies already. Plus, the vinyl pressings for this album, probably all 11 pressings, are crummy. Send me a PM if youd be willing. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really sure how you equate 300$ total current bids compiled across everything of theirs to "Thousands of Dollars," or how it's ridiculous they are selling test presses when many labels do that. Also I am not being a smart ass I just don't understand where your reasoning comes in. Edited December 19, 2017 by MayCauseDeath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression that all these sudden sales, mostly consisting of TWDY rarities, were all to benefit the new album. I could be wrong though....

Or at least that's what Magic Bullet has been saying when they post stuff. ethereal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
