Perhaps the 10th anniversary of the release?

My favourite part of this conspiracy theory is that the band “waited until the right moment” to drop these. What is this right moment? When you all got your fucken stimulus checks?

Did I say you did? I was trying to help you figure out why it's hard to find these records lately but I guess I failed. Good luck out there, lol.

The whole thing is kind of ridiculous.

Weird there's no white stripes covers.

I got this in today. I put it on the turntable and spun the outer ring and while it did take some extra work to make sure it was centered properly, once I got it tracking with the needle just right I thought it actually sounded pretty good! Playing through a Project Debut Carbon w/ Ortofon 2M Blue, for reference.

Mine just showed up in Vancouver. The jacket is in ok condition except for the record slots, there are small tears at the edges, the records themselves were a bit loose but relatively in place, but there are still scuffs and what might be a bad scratch on the outer ring. The rings are also super fucking dirty. What bugs me the most is the tolerances of the rings, there's literally a 2mm gap between each one so each ring moves freely, I don't see how this is going to play (I'll find out shortly), really shitty job. Hopefully my order from Vitus is better but I'm not holding my breath. **ok, gave it a listen: -noisy as fuck. I'll need to give it a deep clean at some point. -the wow & flutter is less than I was expecting given how sloppy the rings fit. at least there's no warp! -I'm glad it doesn't transition between rings, the gap would have snapped the needle, but it basically makes it into listening to three 7"s -most annoying record to flip ever? They had it right the first time they released it: this is a record for hanging on your wall, this is not a record for listening. At least it came with the CD?

Ugh, just got home to see this at the front door. This ended up being extremely disappointing. Ordered the Orange/Clear/Blue. Mailer was fine but all three rings came loose inside the packaging, with very visible scuffs. The ring holders are all damaged as well. This was partially expected. My biggest problem with this is that none of my rings even snap into place with each other. You can wedge the 7" and the middle ring together but you cannot get them to sit flat enough to play. Even worse is that the outer ring is either so warped, or so improperly cut, that the middle ring slides right through with no connection. I'm usually very understanding with the shipping process fucking up records slightly but this thing wasn't even pressed to fit properly within itself. I doubt anyone from MD/GJ is going to give a shit about my complaints but I gotta try, this is terrible. Anyone else experience this with the pressing?

Too slow always be refreshing

It's a bit tricky, but if you add the livestream and/or audio download to your cart (although it took me a couple tries for it to work) and then add the vinyl option and click 'Continue'. Then once the screen loads to start putting in payment/shipping info, simply click the blue 'Cart' link at the top left. Then you're able to delete the livestream ticket and simply keep the record in the cart.

There was a list of upcoming TTL exclusives I saw over on reddit last week. No dates or specifics for Sault. I'm guessing maybe it will be Untitled-Black Is only because that one already has a Mr Bongo and 2 different Rough Trade exclusives.

Pink still available at UK store https://ukstore.theblackkeys.com/products/delta-kream-spotify-exclusive-pink-vinyl-pre-sale

Sault exclusive?? Exclusives?? Where? Also, this one has been up on the website since January. I sent them an email in February asking when it was going to drop because I was tired of checking everyday for three weeks. Lately, they’ve been putting stuff up ahead of time and you can sign up to be notified when it actually goes on sale. With some exclusives, and what they had been doing before, they just drop and you have to be on the ball. But if you’re on their email list, and set notifications for TTL emails, shouldn’t be a problem. If it’s a big enough pressing it’ll last an hour or so.

EDIT: Removed youtube link to the first single. Didn't realize it was OP's post. Anyway, who did it better? lol

green/yellow/orange (inside to outside) arrived safe and sound. stoked. wish they would just do a single LP version of the Our Color Green singles. I ended up with 3 of them i think? and the GJ adapters, but i really love that ep/batch of singles.

So looking forward to that. The LP has been in regular rotation for me. It re-ignited my love for all things HxC. And it's hit close to home in the lyrics and words.

Spotify exclusive on pink: https://theblackkeys.com/products/delta-kream-spotify-exclusive-pink-vinyl-pre-sale-1 Copped the purple and pink together and bit the bullet on the $13.43 USPS Priority Shipping since it was only $0.35 more than standard USPS mail.

Here we go - https://www.bullmoose.com/p/35039063/black-keys-delta-kream-marble-vinyl-indie-exclusive

Sept 10 and 11 at The National. Think I might try to see the Friday show.

Ooof $11 shipping too. Gone wait for Bullmoose or a local shop.

With almost all other bands, I'd agree with you. But with GJ - it's not as ridiculous to me, which is why I threw out my speculative thought.

If this is correct, will explain why those who have requested replacement jackets so far have reported being told there aren't any and none will be produced in the future. Completely refuse any refunds too. If they have been sat on these for years shouldn't they have said so for clarity, the more I read different results coming through the more I feel they miss-sold this.

Just sometime this Summer is all we know so far

You know when you're driving your old pick-up down a dirt road on the way to the creek and your favorite kissing cousin is goin down, then you hit the wrong pothole, he bites off yer junk, and you give him a bloody facial? Kinda like that. This is the worst $50 I've ever spent and I've drunkenly played blackjack for the first time at a casino. At least that was fun...

A big fucking THUMP, then unbearable surface noise.

My question is, hows the transition from disc to disc?

lol. I'll think on it!! Maybe I do need a shirt three sizes too big with a design I don't care for after all... 😁

New lawn boy pressing on what looks to be green yellow swirly for what feels like way cheaper than the 2lp black reissue from a bunch of years ago https://drygoods.phish.com/product/PHLP30/lawn-boy-2lp-vinyl-olfactory-hues-pressing?cp=773_1429_6907
