DC1221 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 http://piaptk.limitedrun.com/products/542474-scott-mcmicken-it-lp We are ridiculously proud to present Soild Gold - 000004: Scott McMicken's "IT". "IT" is the first solo album from Dr Dog songwriter/singer, Scott McMicken! This album was recorded a while ago and was originally intended to be released as a cohesive unit, but was eventually partially pieced out for Dr. Dog bonus tracks on various albums and singles. But, this marks the first time that it appears in it's entirety, as originally intended, and on vinyl. Limited Edition of 200 Lps and 100 Cassette Tapes sold. LPs on Goldenrod Vinyl and Cassettes on Gold tapes. 35 Gold with Red and yellow rim Splatter vinyl will be sent to random purchasers. Includes a poster with art by V. Cessna. Test Pressings: Do you like test pressings? We have 3 test pressings to be given away in a raffle. To enter the raffle, use the "pay what you want" option and enter a value (over $15) that includes change. Eric has chosen a number between .01 and .99, and the first three people to pay a value with that change amount, win the test pressing. For example, if Eric chose $.02 (hint: he didn't), and you paid $15.02, you win a test pressing. You have the same chance of winning whether you pay $15.02 or $250.02... However, if you throw in a little extra, it will be used to buy beers and hummus for the record packing party we hold when we receive each release from the pressing plant.

Stravinsky Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I received the email last night and am really curious what this sounds like...I wonder if these are strictly acoustic performances? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballisticgoat Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Ordered both the LP and cassette last night after getting the email. Super excited for this album, fingers crossed for a splatter/test press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just a normal guy kevin Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Are these demo quality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC1221 Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 My guess is that these would be lo-fi/demo quality like Dr Dog's earlier releases. I have no actual evidence to support this suspicion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just a normal guy kevin Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 In a world where I'm poor and a bunch of cool official releases are being issued/re-issued all the time, I'm going to politely request an album stream before I plunk down a fat $20 on an oddity release.

I'm a fan of Dr. Dog and like McMicken's songs, but $20 is a bit much for something that I have zero clue what it sounds like. i.e. Is this just him and a guitar with a four track?I'd love to give more business to PIAPTK, too. I am super pleased with the Floating Action "Research" LP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piaptk Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 This is a totally legit album, not as full band style as a Dr Dog release, but not a weird lo-fi dude with a guitar four track tape either. Sounds great, very clean, nice, but sparse, instrumentation... If you like Scott's songs, you will love this record. The reason it was unreleased until now is because Scott is under contract to Anti-, who was busy releasing pretty steady Dr. Dog releases, and didn't want to muddy the Dr Dog water with a Scott solo record, and they DEFINITELY didn't want any other label to muddy their waters either. But, because Dimitri from Dr. Dog owns Soild Gold, and because we don't do any digital, represses, and limit it to 250 total LPs including artist copies, Anti- gave us the "keep it on the DL and we won't stop you" go ahead. Soild Gold never streams anything. We don't do any digital of any kind. It's just part of our model. We do it like the bootleggers did in '75... and they didn't stream anything or include digital downloads, so neither we. :-) There are only 6 LPs left as of right now. This dude put up a spotify playlist that has a few of the songs that were pieced out for bonus tracks: http://slyvinyl.com/singer-songwriter/scott-mcmicken-dr-dog-limited-250-goldenrod-vinyl-lp-w-35-randomly-inserted-redyellow-splatter-vinyl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piaptk Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 And, just in case anyone is a Grandaddy fan, Soild Gold - 000005 will be their legendary practical joke album Arm of Roger - The Ham and It's Lily. Same stats, only 200 copies available! Only time it's ever been on vinyl... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stillalivetui Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 If anyone managed to get this and has a change of heart, I will gladly take it off your hands.So bummed I missed out on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just a normal guy kevin Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 piaptk is an awesome member of this forum and out of respect to him, Dimitri of Dr. Dog, and Scott of Dr. Dog, any re-selling of this album should be for LESS than retail price. So, please PM me so I know which email address you'd like me to send my $12 ppd to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryantark Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Arrived! SoCal. Poster/print included, no splatter or test press, number 95/200. Pretty cool how homemade it is. Stamped logo and title on record, seems like construction paper glued onto jacket. Haven't spun it yet. Tommy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fartnokor Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Love this guys playing. If by some miracle someone gets this and isn't interested in it, i'd love to trade you something, possibly even just a regular old paper trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachblows Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 This is really fucking good and I can't stop spinning it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryantark Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Yeah, a nice blend. Guitar only track, piano backed track, heavy drums track, guest singers, overall laid back vibe, pressing is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just a normal guy kevin Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I wonder how labels look at releasing small run LPs that are inevitably going to become flip city millionaire party auctions. Out of their control? Ignore them? Consider pressing more if a release has the second hand demand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
