The Avalanches return with a third album, We Will Always Love You, and it only took four years this time. Release date is December 11th At the moment there are five variants, all 2xLP: Standard Black Coke Bottle & Kelly Green swirl/merge "Deluxe" Double Mint & Electric Blue swirl/merge Picture Discs (potentially with a signed inner sleeve) Yelllow (Newbury Comics exclusive) PO Links: U.S. Standard Black Picture Discs (gatefold / not signed) Yellow (Newbury Comics Exclusive /1000) Europe Picture Discs (gatefold / signed sleeve) (UK) SOLD OUT Deluxe Double Mint & Electric Blue swirl/merge (gatefold /3000)(UK) Standard Black (signed sleeve) (UK) SOLD OUT Coke Bottle & Kelly Green swirl/merge (Germany) Deluxe Double Mint & Electric Blue swirl/merge (gatefold /3000) (Germany) Standard Black (Germany) Australia Standard Black The story behind the cover art: We're very happy to share with you the cover for our new album, "We Will Always Love You". Designed by our dear friend Jonathan Zawada, the sleeve features Ann Druyan, (Creative Director of the Voyager Golden Record Project), who’s cosmic love story inspired this music. In keeping with the album's theme of everlasting love as an undying vibration, Ann's image was run through a spectograph, turned into sound, and back again. The image remains hidden, deep within in the grooves of the music, for you to discover if you wish. An exploration of the vibrational relationship between light, sound and spirit, "We Will Always Love You" will be available for pre-order next week, with more details to follow soon. Interstellar Love, The Avalanches

the homies Of Feather and Bone have a new LP coming out on Profound Lore. preorder is live!! https://profoundlorerecords.merchtable.com

some examples of TBR still a couple days left to get the tye dye

Mine arrived today. Just took a quick picture.

Yea, HHV was the same price (although it is FedEx shipping) but at least I know it's coming, and that I didn't pay over $250 on the secondary market. And in the end, its only $12 more than buying from Bullmoose, which isn't horrible

but thats everything not just records and tapes. just look at how much money people spend on those ugly pop vinyl figures that they dont play with and are gonna go the way of beanie babies and be worthless soon.

I just canceled my ‘Betty (Classroom Version) 7” + Deluxe Digital Download + Deluxe Photo Gallery Download + Deluxe Expanded Liner Notes PDF Download + Deluxe Betty Ringtone Described in Text in a Word Doc Download’ and only got 12 cents back.

UK: https://www.roughtrade.com/gb/viagra-boys/shrimp-sessions US: https://www.roughtrade.com/us/viagra-boys/shrimp-sessions The legendary live set recorded at Shrimptech Enterprises gets a super limited red vinyl release just for Rough Trade Shops! - (that's after the original bonus cd and a limited clear vinyl run in Japan). So if you don't know, the boys plotted up amongst the shrimp pots and fork lifts in their cosy warm clothes and rip through their Street Worms album with a very raw blown out power. They absolutely rock the fuck out! It sounds killer. Slow Learner, Just Like You, Sports - they're all here in a very 'live' way. Utterly essential from the best band on the planet.

This is very bold. I like it.

Those are deliciously wacky! One of the few times I’ve been able to snag a x/100 variant. Thanks for the heads up! Awesome to see some hometown metal bands like them and Realize get love.

Just got an email about the vinyl releases, looks like manufacturing delays are going to push them back We Are the Lost Ones - Mid-Nov/2020 Tear Us Apart - December 2020 More to Living Than Being Alive - Jan 2021 But, it sounds like the Tear Us Apart masters are coming soon for download.

Can't wait until mine is finally past "Shipping Label Created".

Worth every cent. They spared no expense.

hate how everyone expects every follow up since SILY to be SILY #2 - y’all need to give shit a chance instead of immediately putting it inside of an old ass box. the group also went from 8 people to two in that time frame... please be realistic.

I love how relapse always does better variants after the first press lol

Gatecreeper - “Deserted” 2nd press up at Relapse now with some wacky ass colorways! https://store.relapse.com/item/75710

Pretty much the same as HHV was with shipping to the US. Ediy: Oops, didn't see the above comment saying the same thing I did haha.

not my copy/pic so had 2 secure rights first lol but here we are

Bullmoose: https://www.bullmoose.com/p/34747123/avalanches-we-will-always-love-you-green-vinyl-kelly-green-w-coke-bottle-green-splash-vinyl-ltd-to-3000-copies

I live near there and Detroit has been a mess since March. So don't assume it is lost. I have had numerous packages that I have dropped at my local post office that didn't get an acceptance scans for weeks. Some never did and didn't get scanned at all until weeks later when they got delivered. Honestly as of now if it isn't a month late I don't stress about it. Everything i have sent and ordered has showed up at some point.

looks like a grey marble with white + black wisps, very pretty. looks kinda like what the /500 Norma Jean - Meridional variant was supposed to look like (and that one ironically turned out to be a black-white merge like how this one was mocked lol)

Looks like 8 panel double gatefold vs gatefold sleeve, can't see anything else (colour variants only on deluxe?) It also specifically lists " A SIDE / B SIDE Configuration" for the deluxe. Whatever the hell that means!

Really excited to save $40-50 by not buying this album.

New single feat Tricky, Denzel Curry & Sampa coming in 20 mins so should get the official links same time i expect

got that one as well

Wherever you go + We Will Always Love You are amazing singles - hyped for this

/200 and /300 relapse variants back in stock!!

Based off the singles so far, I’m really tapering expectations for this album. Most keen on this. SILY dropped on 11/27 of 2000, so I imagine they’re waiting for the true 20 year anniversary before unveiling it. That’s my optimism anyway.

Nothing trying to set the record for most goddamn amazing variants of a single record

I'm dying for a US release on this one! Little known fact, Tommy Lee played drums on this album.

It will be in indie stores as well, already up on RT https://www.roughtrade.com/gb/bdrmm/the-bedroom-tapes

Canada songs still reigns supreme.

I think it’s that, if he’s crazy enough to want to open a record store, then he fulfills the requirements needed to open a record store.

I feel like everyone here is just dancing around the subject and too polite to tell this guy he’s crazy.

hey Ian.. I own Limited to One if you want some advice feel free to msg me. I could help from what experience I have . (My shop is 3 years old..) Kristian

I would echo the sentiment someone said earlier of maybe trying to work in another local record store to pick the owner's brain and get a good idea of how the business is handled, day to day stuff, etc. It may turn out you don't even like it. Many people get the idea in their head that they want to own a small business and sell something that they love. A great idea on the face of it but it's so much more than that. I'm not actively trying to discourage you (or anyone who dreams of these things) but while being a small business owner can be fun and rewarding it is even more grueling and stressful. You will find yourself working harder and longer hours than anything you probably have previously done for less or, in many cases, no money. Think long and hard about it before throwing your savings and time into a small business. Again, I'm really not trying to discourage you but many businesses fail because people don't know what they are getting into. If you are passionate, have drive, are a hard worker and have money that you can afford to lose without destroying your life then give it a go. Just be sure to have a plan and go in as best prepared as possible. Good luck!

Hang on... the "straw that broke the camel's back" for him is... a slight cosmetic imperfection in a colored record?

That's an incredible bundle for that price. Troubled Coast was one of the most underrated bands from the early Pure Noise era. If you like melodic hardcore at all and haven't heard them, definitely check them out!

Not at all trying to discredit the "black-white" – it may be a better match to the cover art despite the blue being pretty rad in itself – but does your copy look more impressive than the one you provided a photo for? 'Cause I looked back at the Meridional variant you spoke of, and it seems like a far cry from what you shared above. My copies haven't budged. There's not even an ETA with the tracking number. Maybe they'll magically pop up tomorrow but I expect they're at least a week+ out.

Yeah Modular are now defunct (lawsuits and all sorts with the founder i think) and was subsumed in to Universal , however that happened before 2017 and the previous standard reissues, so that can't be the issue either. Maybe the remixes themselves contain troublesome samples that just can't be cleared! Whatever the issue its certainly annoying!
