PO Soon: John Carpenter "Lost Themes" on Sacred Bones


Recommended Posts

Think I'm just going to grab black.  $7.00 is a bit of a price gouge for a color variant.  I get a few dollars more, but 7?

 

 

yeah, it was like that last time and the most expensive option ended up looking the coolest (orange/black).

 

edit: the red/black was cool as well.

 

 

I would love to get that deluxe but $48 US after shipping to Canada is too rich for me. That would be likely $75 Canadian after conversion. I'll either buy the album from him in New York at the show or just get it from a record store in Toronto. 

I don't have a lot of Sacred Bones LPs, but I do have both of the previous John Carpenter releases from them and the black version sounded substantially better than the special/deluxe editions in both cases, especially the Remixed LP. In brief: Fret not! $18 is more than fair for this LP and it will probably have the best fidelity as well.

Got my purple and white swirl in today and the color is a bit of a let down.  Kind of reminds me of those muddy "whatever pellets we have left" runs that No Idea does from time to time.  In spite of that, I'm still very stoked to listen to it!  Also got the Dark Star reissue in, but that probably won't get much attention right now.

I could have swore that one of these was mentioned here, but I can't seem to find the post.  Anyway, Sacred Bones is releasing two 12"s with rerecorded themes with the Lost Themes bandmates.  Don't see them for sale on Sacred Bones, but Bullmoose has them up for preorder.  A little expensive for what they are.  Think I'm going to need to hear them first.

Sacred Bones put up 400 'mystery color' vinyl options for these two releases.  Hard to justify $25 shipped for two songs, but I might see what this mystery vinyl is all about:
