All the "rich kids" in middle school had these in their packed lunch. I ate my free lunch while watching in envy.

Very well said. You make fair points for both sides. Call me a negative nancy or whatever, but I guess the issue I'm having – and what I'm ridiculing – is the prioritization of FOMO. I see it a lot on the boards but only really spoke up about it, tonight, because it pertains to a release that I also participated in paying for. I guess I feel a little more weighed in to voice my 2¢ because I'm a customer who got "stung" like everyone else, instead of someone on the sidelines. I think you and everyone else are 100% correct in saying that this "repress" could've been handled a whole lot better. Doing a broader run on black vinyl would've made the most sense. Or a separate variant /3,000 or /5,000. Whatever DC sees fit, really. It's nice to feel rewarded for being on the ball and ahead of the crowd – anyone who's been buying vinyl and variants for any amount of time can probably relate to that feeling. But what my posts addressed were the people who basically lost interest in this release once it was determined that they're not getting a slice of a pie that's highly sought after. Maybe it's too abrasive for some people to hear, but I genuinely feel like if you're relying on a record's rarity or FOMO to make a $50 purchase - as in, that's the driving factor, above the music itself - you probably shouldn't be lining up to buy said record in the first place. I don't mean to sound condescending when I'm saying that, but I think it's super silly to be jazzed on a repress and then go soft once it's announced that a lot more people are going to have access to virtually the same exact product, even though they weren't glued to their phone or browsing VC during the 2 hours it was available. Most of us are in the same boat – the boat where we wanted this album, but didn't want to pay $100 for it. Some people are double-dipping just because, and that's fine too. The point is that there's ample room on this boat. Flippers are going to be salty about it and that's fine with me. And like I said earlier today, I'll probably feel burned enough to go through the hoops of canceling my order if these do indeed show up for half the cost in a stateside distro, or something. But I don't think the possible change in cost is what people are getting bent out of shape over. I truly think it's the lack of rarity, and I also think that's pretty dumb. Yeah, sure, it really sucks if you were misled to believe that you had to drop $45 yesterday, and now you're having to scrap by with Ramen meals or otherwise sweat until Friday, when it's payday. But at the same time, I'm not 100% sure you should be buying vinyl so freely if a surprise $45 drop is going to disrupt your checking account for the remainder of the week. But that's not really my place to say, you know? Just an earnest observation and thought on it. I guess at the end of the day, I'm siding with everyone who admits that they'd love to own one of the 1,000 copies of this reissue that went quick, and have something to show for it. Maybe a holographic jacket or something snazzy. I can see why people would feel like a tiny note on the center labels feels like a weak consolation prize for being among the first to order. But more importantly, and on a much bigger scale, I'm stoked as hell to own an untouched copy of this album for under $50 PPD, and I'm glad more people can join me in that excitement.

They just posted the 2nd press art on twitter

Don't come running to me when they're coming for you.

Get a grip dude.

Upgraded my amp today from a Rega Brio-r to Elicit-R.

Yeah, it doesn't matter whatsoever that this is going to be more readily available--it's a good thing. It was just misleading and poor judgement on the label's end, whenever a pressing ends up being a higher quantity than originally stated it's always met with negative backlash which is why its so silly to see it continuously done. They could have opted for black or a different color but yeah, it's arbitrary--it might have made more sense on their end to actually press a different color for peeps with the double-dip mentality. I don't know if that would have been more costly though. I'm glad people are able to get it and I'm not mad about it, I just probably wouldn't have dished out so much yesterday and waited an extra month or so. (If they'd be available by then, I'm not really sure) "Second Pressing" on the label is definitely enough, I can't remember what was the differentiation on Brand New's Deja (First press w/o barcode vs second press w/barcode?) All I remember is, someone offered me $50 more for it because it had a meaningless indicator of first pressing. Everybody wins--even though the label could have handled it better.

Still no idea.

We need a remix, not a remaster. The lack of bass is in the stereo mix, so no amount of mastering is going to fix it. The album desperately needs a new mix and release it alongside the original mix so that no-one can say revisionism is bad as they wouldn't be trying to replace it. Hopefully the original multitracks are in good shape. Heck if they managed to find the original PRE-bounce tapes for Sgt Peppers 50 years later to create new stereo and 5.1 mixes, there's hope for AJFA.

https://slowdancingsociety.bandcamp.com/album/the-sound-of-lights-when-dim-2017-remaster This is legitimately one of the best ambient albums I've ever heard and you'd be a FOOL not to pick this up for $8PPD. I truthfully cannot believe this still hasn't sold out.

I can't recall a time I've ever paid $8 PPD for a new 12", let alone an incredibly good album. $3 is insanity, I agree. You all need to sleep to this record and not on this deal.

View page source, check quantity. It's at -74 (last I checked) meaning only 74 have sold

Sounds boring as shit.

it appears they updated bandcamp There are two 2017 pressings of this album: Orders for first pressing are expected to ship in mid-October. (SOLD OUT) Orders for second pressing are expected to ship in December (AVAILABLE) Please note that the second pressing will display ‘2nd 2017 edition’ on sleeve and disc labels.

Solid episode for sure. I liked seeing a confident Morty for once, but I'm glad he won't be around forever.

Happy to do it. Just looking for it to go to a good home and recoup my cost from grabbing it at the show.

Of all of these remasters, AJFA is the only one I'm really looking at picking up.

Only use windex on your clear vinyl.

I'd like to thank God, my agent and of course all the record labels that keep me poor.

Hey guys, so I wanted to make a place for all of the A Thousand Arms stuff to be centralized since they're starting to become quite the operational center for things. Currently there are 2 brand new album pre-orders up and available: Ranges - The Ascensionist 2XLP (180g Milky Clear with Bone A Side/B Side vinyl. Limited to 125 copies. Deluxe Edition limited to 33 copies.) https://athousandarms.store/collections/ranges Appalaches - Cycles 2xLP (Solid Red vinyl with gatefold packaging. Limited to 100 copies through A Thousand Arms. ) https://athousandarms.store/collections/athousandarmsmusic/products/appalaches-cycles-2xlp Other album pre-orders that are quickly selling out: TRNA - Lose Yourself To Find Peace ( 180g 33 RPM Black in Ultra Clear Color in Color with Black Smoke and Bone, White and Milky Clear splatter vinyl /159) https://athousandarms.store/collections/elusivesound/products/trna-lose-yourself-to-find-peace-obsidian-brume-edition-lp PG.Lost - It's Not Me, It's You! (Clear & Bourdeaux red /250) https://athousandarms.store/collections/pelagicrecords/products/pg-lost-its-not-me-its-you-2xlp A Thousand Arms also now has distribution for Kapitan Platte, Pelagic, Aloud Music, DUNK records, and Elusive Sound. Check the website for the full list of distro items, and pick them up before they are gone. Additionally, A Thousand Arms is the USA distributor for the Australian contingent, which includes merch/records for We Lost The Sea, Dumbsaint, and Sleepmakeswaves. Have fun guys! I will be updating this thread as new distro stock arrives for them, as well as any new album pre-order announcements. A Thousand Arms has opened up their own record label wing in addition to the screen-printing operation (look for their work with the new The End of the Ocean shirts!) so I am guessing we will start to see more albums popping up soon.

Complete boxset coming in November: http://exclaim.ca/music/article/the_tragically_hip_treated_to_comprehensive_vinyl_box_set

didnt mind the defenders, it being only 8 episodes was probably the best part about it. I think Danny Rand will start to not be such a shitty character now, and I am really interested to see what happens in DD3. finally watched guardians of the galaxy 2, and man, that was a pretty big fall off from the first... but im assuming that its all just a buildup for infinity wars, right? Like, rather than doing the character development movie as the first movie (ie. getting the backstory of who his dad is, etc.), doing it in the second really seems to tie in to them returning to Earth, right? Havent watched Spiderman, but im pumped. Hope it comes on Fios soon so I can rent it.

Damn, I would have grabbed this if I didn't JUST grab the /100 glow in the dark Roots of Earth that A389 put up

Agreed. I think the thing that unnverves me more is the demonic echo in parts of the women's monologue in Lit me Up.

The laugh at the end of No Control continues to creep me the fuck out. So unsettling.

I would barely consider a band playing arenas a touring band. They have big riders, catering, tour buses, media promotion and other things to do in life. I could be wrong since it took them 10 years to write a record so maybe they are busy on eBay. But they also released a record in a paper bag, so I doubt they care

/Thread. You are the winner!!!

Do you really think the band actually cares enough to do that?

Hey guys, they're up!!! @jrodan @The Butcha @stillused Grab the Appalaches and Ranges pre-orders too!!!! If you bought the Meniscus record, you should have gotten a 10% discount coupon code with it.

Yeah I was pretty meh about defenders. Felt like it should have just been Iron Fist season 2 or yeah a movie. Needed a bigger baddie to climax up to, I mean fighting old ladies can only last so long.

There's been so much OFFICIAL talk about that...makes me think that we might get a remix of that one....

North American preorders will be here: https://baaomerch.com/password

I think you're correct, I'm pretty sure Ron and Sylvia mixed Undertow on a Neve 8038 console. Even 10,000 Days appears to have been kept all analogue right until the final mastering stage when Bob Ludwig used a Pyramix DAW which in 2005/2006 would have been capable of DXD. Final master was 24/96, but does the stereo master mix (ie - before the mastering) exist on tape? According to mixonline's interview with Barresi and Ludwig the multitrack format was analogue tape but also dumped to ProTools "to preserve it". It also states the album was mixed by Barresi on an SSL G+ console which is an analogue mixing console. So was the ProTools dump just for archival purposes and the mix was all analogue right up to the mastering stage? I do like what Bob said about it: "If any record deserves to be heard in surround sound, it's this one. There's so much tone painting and so much color. It would just be a thrill to hear it in surround sound. And with 96k, 24-bit masters, we're ready for any kind of high-resolution digital projects.” I'll see if Mr. L can shed some light on the final process, he's usually very responsive to courteous e-mails. Have also asked Adam for some insight on the earlier albums. It does sounds like Opiate, Undertow and AEnima were all mixed on Neve consoles.

Oakland Childers is our latest Vinyl collective Collector of the Month. Read about him on the VC site at this link: http://www.vinylcollective.com/2007/06/22/vinyl-collective-collector-of-the-month-oakland-childers/ Thanks Oakalnd for your support! Stay tuned for future editions of the Vinyl Collector of the Month which may happen more often than one a month.

I doubt its true, the band made these limited variants and cd's very well knowing tons would end up on secondary markets. I feel they just post crap like that to make people happy. Its like when they say they took tickets back from scalpers.

I hope for everyone's benefit you all get a gatefold on these represses. The double LP in a single jacket thing is a bit cumbersome on the OG and fiddly especially since it's not the most solid of outer sleeves.

#triggered Mine came direct from relapse for $31.54ppd. I doubt they charged you almost $8 for MM. To buy 6 is $167.52ppd (6 copies at $25.99 + $11.58 shipping) . To sell those copies on eBay with $5 shipping (assumption) each from the numbers in your post is $165.98 then subtract $25.20 you spend at the PO ($4.20 shipping each not including tax which is negligible) to get $140.78 before fees. $167.52 - $140.78 is a $26.74 loss before fees. Obviously not a $66 loss before fees so to get to whatever number you got to is a mystery to me and most people that know simple math. (Including Dan who was much closer guestimating without shipping lol) He still sucks at flipping but you suck at being snarky!

Not really snarky. Just providing the mindset that most people have voiced about the development of this release over the last 24 hours.

A commenter posted this on the Punknews site Link here: https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/?id=609.195

Basically, yeah. Or we're upset that they got $47 out of us yesterday instead of a later, more convenient date.

That was AJFA. As far that box set, we're prolly looking at 2018. And yes hopefully they "fix" Newsted's bass

Nice. Just got $315 for my cd. Should hear back on my home offer by tomorrow too. If anyone is interested in a tour pressing of YFW let me know. Thats going next. Seeing potential mortgage payments, closing fees, inspectors, ect is scaring the crap out of me.

I just want to take a moment to appreciate the fact that the OP uploaded a generic "blank avatar" avatar instead of using the default one that the boards assign.

bleach works best for me, personally. scrub a little, sip a lottle.

just spray the windex in your eyes and forget it ever happened

Been meaning to check this band out forever and recently heard "Ten Tonne Skeleton" and was blown away.
