11+ months later the newbury varient finally shows up, reality vs expectation is hilarious as usual

I just got my Richey Beckett print and it looks amazing. I assumed it was going to be gold ink on black stock, but it's the reverse, which means the gold really shines and pops. Might have to frame this one.

Economy shipping from Japan can take 2-3 months. In other words, faster than the average pre-order. Totally worth it.

BUY THE DIP, USD to the moooooooooon 🚀🚀🚀

That'll come in handy when you forget which album Miss Murder is on

Vinyl shipping late October, no exact date given. Six variants listed on their website, all /500 Aura Dawn Iris Scarlet Death Dusk Sage Revolver Exclusive /300 Blood Red Rock Sound Exclusive /300 Bone CD All merch, hoodies, shirts, etc.

And I thought I had placed my order with the green. About 30mins later I realized I hadn’t gotten a notification email. Turns out I had t done the final step, but when I went back the pink one was there. Bonus.

I read that not only is the Decemberunderground boot a thing but supposedly Crash Love is getting a bootleg as well.

I had the pinkish copy in my cart this AM, and then vacillated because of the shipping. That version sold out, and I put the green version in my cart and it gave me the option for $7 media mail shipping.

At long last, there's a repress of Demigod's Slumber of Sullen Eyes. PO now, Dec release. Essential. EU: https://svartrecords.com/product/demigod-slumber-of-sullen-eyes-album/ US/CAN/UK: https://svart.ochre.store/release/325955-demigod-slumber-of-sullen-eyes

I've been 2 times and managed to hit around100 stores in Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. The big flea market in Tokyo at the race track is also a killer place to find records. I could go on all day. Japan is my favorite place on earth.

I'm happy to report some progress. A friend had wisely advised me to make sure I had everything in hand (artwork, masters, possibly my own lacquer, money) before contacting the pressing company. I decided it was finally time to look at getting lacquers cut -- even though I was worried about getting a lacquer cut and nowhere to press it -- and finally talked to my mastering guy (Alex DeTurk, who is really great) and asked who he'd recommend to cut a lacquer and he referred me to Scott Hull at Masterdisk. This really broke the log jam. Scott Hull is not cheap, but he's quite well known and Masterdisk has some of the best gear in the world. His secret weapon is his studio manager, Mickie Steier, who is super nice and friendly and who directly introduced me to 3 different contacts at three different pressing companies. She first mentioned Vinyl De Paris, saying they had done some 'beautiful test pressings.' She also said Microforum in Canada was good. And lastly, she connected me to someone at Gotta Groove. Mickie's introduction cleared away a lot of the suspicion I might otherwise have encountered by contacting these companies directly because they know she works at Masterdisk and that she's serious. It also reassured me to have her recommendation because Masterdisk knows what they are doing. I contacted all 3 companies and learned that Gotta Groove currently has a 10-month turnaround time. Microforum estimated 26 to 28 weeks for turnaround (although I think they'll let you pay a rush fee to reduce this considerably) and VDP said their turnaround time was 14 weeks. I decided to go with VDP and have sent off my artwork. Unfortunately, everyone in Paris goes on vacation in August, so this will slow things down by 4 weeks, but I should receive my vinyl around November if all goes well. I've received my test lacquer from Scott Hull and I played it and I'm PUMPED. My experience with Scott & Mickie at Masterdisk has been really encouraging, and VDP has been very helpful, too. They answer all my questions clearly and promptly, and I'm impressed with their attention to detail so far.

In the before-COVID times, every time as buddy of mine in a touring band would go to Japan, I'd have them go record shopping for me. Japan is my absolute bucket-list vacation spot and honestly, it's largely because of the record stores. (And also the culture and the food and the nature etc etc etc, but man, those record stores!)

I'm still kinda shocked 15 Passenger never had a variant or domestic pressing for this. Just an absolute beast of a record, and I'm so glad I imported a copy two years ago.

This was actually very interesting. Obviously this guy is going to talk up their own processes. I'm anxious to see how, if at all they, change the banner or if there is any sort of legal blowback on this. They claim in the article to have used this DSD process on Tony Bennett - I Left My Heart In San Francisco, but that album does have the Original Master Recording banner on it...

bruh. what in the fuck is this jazzercise 7 inch? who is buying this shit. why are they making it? what... is happening.

Very, very good.

Pretty sure he talks about it in this video: https://youtu.be/S4_f3plnRyM

Thanks for this, I slept on this album. Just checked it out after being disappointed with the new release. It sounds like the Weezer I wanted to hear.

Will most likely buy both versions someday, since I am obsessed with this record. I've already mentioned that I have an original mono pressing, and even in VG it still sounds better than any other copy I've listened to. Love the TP series and have never been disappointed by them.

You want to go with Dunk! Pressing. They've been cranking out really nice products and are about to scale up in a big, BIG way. Their turnarounds are not crazy, and they are some of the nicest people. Shipping from Belgium. I have so many of their records, and they all sound great. They're still small enough to care about the product and not just crank out shit to make product. They're good people, I know them personally through their festival. You can tell Wout and Luc that Greg sent you. https://www.dunkpressing.com/

I saw you mentioned Gotta Groove Records in Cleveland. I am currently in the middle of pressing my album with them and it has been a pretty smooth process so far. I just approved my lacquer and it sounded great. Any question I have they have answered within a day or two. So far I have no complaints. I'm not scheduled to actually get it until spring of 2023 but I think you are going to run into that with all pressing plants at the moment. Best of luck! SDK was a jam and my band used to play it all the time at our practices....

I press all my records at Packaged Sounds in UK. https://packagedsounds.com/ Tom Reiss runs it and he's been a good buddy of mine through these forums for a decade now. They specialize in very artistic colored vinyl. Here are some pics of records they pressed for me. They also printed the artwork:

Me too. I picked up my copy last week. I think the indie and UO exclusives and the electric blue are the only three available so far.

my therapist said that to me once

Definitely not, this will never get a 3rd press.

Repress up in the store!! Evergreen and pink storm /1500.

Sorry to burst your bubble here, but Resist just defaults to 'coming soon' if an item is out of stock. This is an old listing for the 2014 pressing.
