Derek™ Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) Whoa. VC wasn’t supposed to know about this; color me impressed. Cool fit for Topshelf, yeah? I wish Superbass would get pressed – maybe Topshelf will make it happen. Snagged that splatter first thing this morning. Also, I believe the split is /300 for what it’s worth.

Oblivions Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) Yes. I will gladly receive this as part of my Topshelf vinyl subscription. Yes. I will gladly share a $10 credit code for anyone who wants to also receive this EP as part of a new Topshelf vinyl subscription. Topshelf have been bringing it hard the last two years. Those Elephant Gym LP/EPs and the Gulfer LP are so good. Edited March 23, 2018 by swb topshelfsquad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoa Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Splatter me up, so glad they have a UK distro. Hoping for a Pink Magick repress too as I totally missed that (either that or that insane live album on their bandcamp)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually the records you're going to receive aren't known at point of subscription, right? Topshelf website says so. Giraffes! Giraffes! is more interesting than a lot of bands, and if they're enticing new subscribers, maybe they'd have an easier time if they just reveal what the big winky face secret is.

Just poking fun since the Topshelf sub gives you quite a bit for that annual fee, especially compared to some similar label subs. I could be wrong but I doubt whatever special variant subscribers get is enough to convince someone who isn't into Topshelf Records to buy their entire 2018 catalogue in one down payment. It sounds like it will just be a cool/fun secret for people who are already subscribed. Edited March 23, 2018 by swb topshelfsquad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 All the G?G! love in this thread is surprising in the best way. I could've sworn they've come up in prior threads here at VC, and I think myself and maybe 1-2 others were the only ones to comment. They're touring on the West coast, finally – the first time since I've been a fan, circa 2012 or so. They're playing at a new venue with a small stage upstairs, and I expect it's going to be hot and humid as shit. But I still think I'll be trying to attend. What do you guys think about their last few releases, if you've been following them? That Spazz Master 7" was so-so in my books, but I really enjoyed their contribution to that Goddard split back in 2013. Their first two albums are still my favorite, hands down.

But i think that is because i posted the PO to the 7 whenever that happened. My memory is failing. Not surprising but I def preordered this. And I am still holding out hope for Superbass and a Pink Magick repress at some point. Maybe now that they have shacked up with Topshelf this could happen? I mean the label did press like the entire Elephant Gym discography. So there is some hope there for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I don't mean to make this thread about the value of subscription services, I'm sure it's worth it and it's quality work, and I don't know enough about it except what I see on the outside. I'm just excited to have more math rock in the collection because I really don't have much. G?G!'s split with Goddard is all I have of theirs, I only have a couple other pseudo-rarities like Lava Land and Trees Swallow Houses.

I think Sargent House has it up for sale out of the blue a few years back. Completely unexpected but still awesome. I’m not sure how big the pressing was or what the demand may have looked like, but it’s worth picking up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Actually just checked; it’s only /1,000 and is still available after 2-3 years. And only $15, too.

Oblivions Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 For real. Topshelf has been sneakily stockpiling great indie-ish math rock bands on their roster over the last few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
