Thanks for sticking up for us a few days ago, everybody. It means a lot to everyone here.

Is $181 your offer? I'd let mine go for that.

Hi everyone - this is John at AKR. I so appreciate you all as fans of vinyl. I can't constantly monitor this board and Reddit and the other things as part of my part-time-ish job, but I can post here for a minute and answer a few of your questions. re: general profit margin. We are making the same amount of money on this edition as we are the regular edition, and maybe even a little less. So to those folks here and a few other places who are thinking we're just cashing in, this is a really stupid way to cash in. Yes, we'll sell some more Illinois vinyl. But we're doing our best to make good music like this record accessible to as many people as possible without compromising on the art. re: shipping. Can't help it. It's calculated live by the USPS. The weight on this product is about 2.5 lbs which compensates for the extra goodie that we're working on. re: extra goodie. It won't change your life but I hope you'll think it's cool. We just had to work out a few logistics and we're waiting to announce it until January or so. re: black/colored vinyl. Black vinyl is a color. It's just the most ubiquitous. re: mastering. We had to re-plate in late 2014 and we went with Roger Seibel at SAE who is a mastering genius in my opinion. I don't always like everything Roger does, but he was perfect for this. The good news is that we went with triple-plating on this so we won't need to replate for a while. re: Avalanche. Working on it. This is the 10th anniversary of Illinois, so why would we celebrate Avalanche? Avalanche has some of my personal favorite Sufjan songs but it is an outtakes record. Illinois is the star. We'll get to it as soon as we can. Thanks again for all your support. We appreciate you all very much, and it's only because you keep buying the music we release that we can keep releasing new, good music. - John at AKR

I mean, they also put the wrong name of the album.

HEY THERE GIRLS IM A CUNT

got these yesterday. A symbol used by the band I The Mighty (Hearts and Spades) And some Twin Peaks inspired ink!

I typed a lot, but this is hardly worth a wall of text. tl;dr: No one deserves compensation for having a reputation. That is the epitome of entitlement, hence the way I chose to quote your sentence. Copeland, and any other artist, clearly have the right to charge whatever they feel is right for them for a product, that does not mean that the people who are interested in the product do not have a right to their opinion of the price. I checked my purchases the past couple of years. Out of all the records I have purchased in 2014 and 2015, ONE out of approximately 50 releases came out to $30+ before shipping, and that is because it was an overseas release. This includes all 2xLP.

Copeland Kid is making me want to sell my BTMT.

I can't believe the hate on Beggars and Major/Minor. I like the early stuff, but to me they get consistently better as they experiment with their sound.

I apologize to my SS and everyone here but mine will go out after this holiday weekend. I've been dealing with my mother and her cancer and I completely forgot about this, to be honest. I promise it'll be worth it.

The Illusion Of Saftey made my 14 year old self a way better guitar player. Endless nights of mastering The Beltsville Crucible really did me in.

Because nobody else has posted it, here's a link to our traditional preview video. It's only 43 minutes this time! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9hPJ9WBV2k Enjoy

thanks for being the legit best

My boss bought me Tacos for lunch today

It's really interesting to read some of these opinions. S/T should NOT be re-recorded. It's perfect as it is. This band has never really taken risks, in my opinion, other than that first album (an argument could be made for LP 2 as well, certainly). That's not necessarily bad. I've never expected more from them. FF have always been little more than good radio-friendly alt rock. Some of it really good, some of it really not so good (I'm looking at you, Sonic Highways). The mastering of this EP is terrible. One of the loudest I've ever heard. Check out the waveform of Savior Breath:

Jet.com has the MOV version (same configuration, etching, etc.) for $10 less: https://jet.com/product/Temple-Of-The-Dog-Ltd-Ogv-Vinyl/75a0a9ea37e04eec9145816836a2b4b1. Free shipping, free returns. No tax. Add more than $50 to your cart to get $25 off your order with JETCOMSAVE2.

Gotta Catch 'em All I guess.

SofO-077 is -SNOWING- "That Time I Sat in a Pile of Chocolate: A Retrospective". The 12" will collect: - all 4 songs from the FYEB 7" - the version of Pump Fake from that recording (first time on vinyl!) - both songs from the Pump Fake/Scherbatsky 7" - the 2 song tour tape (first time on vinyl!) - their song from the Ticklebutt Records tape comp (first time on vinyl!) -Big Weed from the 4-way split 7" on Slow Growth Records. The full shebang was even remastered by Lucky Lacquers! The artwork is pretty amazing too. First pressing will be 450 copies on black vinyl. Preorders will likely launch when I get tests, so now is the time to subscribe to this page and follow SofO on tumblr. Cooking up something special for the early birds.

My local guy is so f'n rad sometimes. I messaged to ask if he would have the special Ben Harper Black Friday release, and he tells me he has one that the shrink ripped on that he will sell me for cost saving me nearly $15

I was peeing standing up while reading this post. The laughing did not help my aim

Waiting for bullmoose

lol cmon guys, their early hardcore stuff is so bleh Beggars is their best pretty easily

Yo The_James_Champ, that TP owl tat is f'n rad as shit. Good work dude!!

Both SIGE and HH have 5 copies of the red/black variant and 10 copies on black. https://sigerecords.merchtable.com/music/vinyl/sumac-the-deal-vinyl-2xlp-repress#.VlSqXXYvfIU https://hydrahead.merchtable.com/music/vinyl/sumac-the-deal-vinyl-2xlp-repress#.VlSqBnYvfIU

LOL. Will wait when it hits a store.

Shipping is $10.98 for me. I'll take my chances with the other 8,500.

You should check out Hot Damn! and The Big Dirty.

Yet another new press. Goes really well with the cover:

Last album was a huge risk. Putting out a conceptual album like that, and recording it in the way they did. Dave and the rest of them are always looking for new ways to push themselves, and make something new. This "break" will be the time they take to think of that. If you read the letters on their site, Dave talks about the notebook he was given, and how he is already coming up with ideas. I'm sure the next album will push the boundaries, and we'll see a whole new Foo. As far as the EP goes, I'm stoked to finally hear 7 Corners. The whole EP is solid, and it's mastered very well. It's cool to hear an old school Foo sound in a new way. All the dudes together making some meaningful songs, and releasing them for free; bitchin'. It's like the Sonic Highway b-sides, and bonus track us die hard fans have been waiting on for a long time. According to the mock up on the EU site, it looks like this is going to be a 12", but it could still be a 10". We shall wait and see.

1. Treasure of the Sierra Madre 2. Rushmore 3. Jaws 4. The Empire Strikes Back 5. Pink Flamingos 6. Blue Velvet 7. Throne of Blood 8. Do the Right Thing 9. North by Northwest 10. Sleeper

I couldn't disagree with this more. Alchemy was all kinds of experimentation (I love it, but it was never meant to be a cohesive sound), and Vheissu shows a ton of growing pains. I love songs on that record, but I hate it as an album. They finally started to settle into their own sound with Beggars, and Major/Minor was the ultimate realization of that sound. I think that last album is absolutely perfect, and it's my favorite Thrice record. I hope they keep pushing, and showing us who Thrice is, not what scene they belong in.

What started out as a simple way for me to keep track of what I have listened to myself kind of got out of control and this happened. It is by no means meant to be a replacement for the OP (and I have a rough list of pg. 34-current for mrewest if he wants it). I started to organize it with you guys in mind, so hopefully everyone can get something from it. The genre tabs are empty because I'm bad at that, and that may be a project for another very cold weekend. I also took it upon myself to add MovMou, Appleseed Cast, and Sigur Ros. Made no sense they were excluded but Athletics are on the list, especially considering the amount of people MovMou has converted. Enjoy. It's public and everyone can comment.

I was told one more box was arriving and it did today! I lost control a little bit, but if you had these staring at you, you'd do the same. Note: I forgot to take this pic before I opened them. Here's the awesome haul I received: -Fat Music Vol. 7 (Colored Edition!) -Fake Problems/Gaslight Anthem Split -Xtra Mile split series 7" featuring Frank Turner -Five By Five "Fire" 7" (awesome Hendrix cover) A bunch of assorted CD's, CD booklets, koozies, and other goodies (including a legit copy of the original Flight Simulator!) And last but not least: Two awesome Rick and Morty posters!! I did some quick VC sleuthing and I figured out my SS was Tellallyourfriends!! Thank you so, so much!!!

I lived in London for a few years. Here are some of my favorite things to do. -DRINK anywhere and everywhere. My favorite spot is on halloway rd. punk rocker bar called BIG RED. all the bartenders look like pin up girls and all the customers are covered in tattoos. drinks are cheap and room temp. enjoy! The Crow Bar in Soho is also good, but very tiny. -LIVE MUSIC in some amazing clubs around the city. Old Blue Last, The Barfly, Round House, Academy, etc etc etc. Maybe check out the website TIME OUT to see whats popping in the night life. But don't be surprised if all this shit going down in Paris has put a damper on the nightlife. -CULTURE is cool too. Check out the many free museums and art galleries. Some of my favorites are The Imperial War Museum, The Tate (modern or brit), and if its still there The Saachi Gallery is one of the coolest things I have ever seen in my life. But I heard its now on display in Britton Beach. (all the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in the world were in London museums.) other than that its basic tourist stuff. Take pics and get tattoos and buy shit. have fun!

one art please.

Let me rephrase. Can you please provide a link to a source for that?

Someone grab that King Gizzard, so solid.

so when can we expect a Robbin' The Hood repress?as far as limited/colored vinyl i could careless about it if given a choice i would choose 180g black vinyl every time & i could careless how limited something is.all i care for is the art work to be as close to the original pressing & the sound quality of the vinyl itself.

Network Silence of the Lambs The Empire Strikes Back Almost Famous Annie Hall Terminator 2 Primer Being There Children of Men Adaptation top 3 are set in stone (in any order), the rest could change if you asked me tomorrow

I don't have Stankonia and that colour looks really sweet. Think in going to try and get that. May also pick up the DMB box.

I think people addressed that though, it's the customer service and reliability that Bullmoose offers

I'm excited about getting all these expensive records for less than half price in a few months!

I have personally banned all of Florida. Yes one person ruined it for an entire state. GJ Eric Rolo!

The idea of attaching speakers to a turntable seem like a dumb one, regardless of how pointless the gimmick of a vertical turntable is.
