Mine came today, looks awesome. The records is extremely warped and unplayable though

Just listened to the B-Side (clear/orange) - no skips. I noticed that the spindle hole is off-center quite a bit, my record player's tonearm is swinging inwards and outwards a lot.

Lots of pops and surface noise, too.

The recycled covers are the icing on the cake, the best part is the music.

There, i said it

This album rules, so buy it if you haven't yet.

Here's mine:

Its a shame they don't have an American distro (correct me if I am wrong). It looks with shipping it'll run about 31 USD.

I'm not sure, but it looks like they sadly don't have an american distro. Songs to check out: Red Paper Lanterns, Accolades. The latter is a free download. Btw, the vinyl looks and sounds amazing.

I'm suprised this album has not been mentioned here before. Easily one of my 2011 favorites.

If you're into instrumental post rock, check it out.

"I Was Here For A Moment, Then I Was Gone" stream (Bandcamp)

Vinyl: 1st pressing, black, gatefold /500.

buy a used 1200 and you are set for life

Agreed. Bought mine used about 16 years ago and it's still running fine.

I have one. It's a decent direct drive turntable with a linear tracking tonarm. Too much plastic for my taste. I also have a SL-7 which is much, much better. Highly recommended, look out for that one instead.

European folks should check out the screenprinted "Top Button, Bottom Shelf"-LP on Coffebreath And Heartache. Looks really nice, I've placed and order yesterday.

The Crucial Dudes LPs have been shipped to us together with the Noise By Numbers LPs and will be here soon. CDs are in and everything will be in the store as soon as we've got the vinyl. Thanks for your patience, Ass Card Records

Mine came last week. It's beautiful. Thanks a lot, Deathwish!

My main turntable:

SONY PS-2250, PUA 1500S arm, Technics EPC-205CII-L cartridge

2nd turntable, SONY PS-X600

Both turntables are connected to this amp, a DENON PMA-850:

Speakers: Tandberg TL-5020, Onkyo SC-901

The sleeping room system, DENON PMA-700Z, DENON TU-500, Technics SL-7 turntable:

This record rules. It's damn nice, too:

Is Asscard still getting this? I still can't find it in the ACR store and I would like a copy. : D

Yes. As soon as the records are here, they will be in the store. Maybe we'll start a preorder soon...

Also, be sure to pick up a copy of the brand new CD from Astpai, Heart To Grow. It's only $5. The LP will be available shortly. You can stream the entire album on our website!

Got the LP yesterday:

I love Buffalo Tom! I'm glad I have all albums on vinyl. My s/t is a test pressing (Rainbo records pressing plant) with a regular sleeve, the copy of Birdbrain is on red. Plus: I just bought the Birdbrain EP for a few bucks today.

Got mine today. The packaging is stellar. I have to say the Majorlabel version looks like crap in comparison. What the hell was the guy responsible for the artwork thinking?

Bump, because this record is soooooo good!

Pics:

My GUK 10" package came from Hassle Records today...mailer was flimsy, not labeled with "Fragile" and beat to hell...

Same here. I picked up my copy at the post office today and the packaging job was plain horrible. Sadly this seems to be standard and no exception to the rule with orders from the UK.

those pics are great! what kind of camera do you use?

Thanks. I'm using a Nikon D70 DSLR. Taking decent pics of records is no magic, using a tripod and natural light (no flash) is the key.
