Maybe this is why OG Travis left, UO, FYE, and Newbury Comics are all killing it. A thought for the new music buyer, What really used to get people pumped were the details. Make us feel like that close community again, tell us what you're working on, when it might be coming out, how many you're pressing. It creates buzz. We don't want to go on-line to be surprised by new exclusives randomly in stock, we want to know what's coming up and when. I really think a big reason of the success of the past HT exclusives was because travis was so dialed into this community and respected. Keep the presses small, keep us in the loop, it generates excitement.

The exclusives a HT have really dropped off since OG travis left.

I saw them do a Q&A at the Grammy Museum when they were promoting the Pale Emperor and the two of them really seemed to connect and be close. Here are a few clips from that show:

Since Tyler Bates is on this album again, I have faith. Will pick up for sure!

Can't get on the boot train, it's rad these are coming out but they're not for me.

I'm not sure I'd mention it, or put it out there. Just enjoy your record, it's a damn good one. Cheers!

It's safe to say if you're ordering from sandbag use a CC, and one that has great customer service (Amex, Chase) in the event you have to file a claim w/o worrying or waiting. On a more fun note; there are several reports online that indicate the Vietnam doc soundtrack drops Sept 15 via UMC. 3xLP and CD. Although I'm starting to think there was a typo and they meant UMG. UMC appears to be a church group.

The Music For Nations 2xLP DMM reissues were the BEST IMO. They did KEA, RTL, and MOP in that series. Truly the definitive editions IMO.

What is the cat# / info on the Japanese (Sony?) AJFA you posted on instagram?

No, that's my point. Who has time to do that.

Yes of course there are band holds, venue holds, ADA holds, promoter holds, but I think the implication was that they were cancelling tix that people bought and were posting on stubhub or the TM resale site.

Who has the time to "hunt down flippers?" Also, have any of you heard or BN tix actually being cancelled? I think they buy them off of StubHub or TM resale market and make those available again.

The bass on MOP is mixed low and was discussed in back to the front. But the bass is inaudible on AJFA. yeah I hope they boost it too, but not too much.

FWIW the stock sleeves that Amoeba Hollywood sells fits the Fragile w/ a little extra space. Maybe call them and find out what they are. They are usually sold 5 for $1.25 I believe.

Why the f you in ASL?

Only the first three albums have received the remastering treatment from this series. The others AJFA - DM have not received the special treatment, the current blackend pressings are the Warner pressings from 2008 that, IMO, are very underwhelming. If you're looking for these albums you're better off looking for older pressings.

I hope they do a three pack that saves on the cost a bit. Still don't have KEA or RTL from this series.

Jesse and Vinny are gear heads and like to share studio shots and details on their gear. They had some on their IG before they wiped it a while ago.

I think that Firebrand would have to figure that out not you. You placed an order and have not received anything. Good luck. I've gotten into the habit of using my American Express for all preorders in the event that I need to do a charge back. They seem to have your back for ages.

I think if the secondary market was weak I'd 100% keep it, hell if it was around $75 I'd probably keep it, but I'd feel foolish to not sell it. I know this isn't the case with everyone, but I need to be realistic. Now, if the "bonus" item was them signing the LP for the preorders there's no way I'd sell. Also, digging your signature. I'm usually on mobile, don't know how new it is, but rad stuff man.

At this rate I'd feel like a fool if I didn't cash the $350 check from brand new if it arrives....if....

I can't believe that Facelift and S/T have not been reissued. I have OG's of both and they sound good, but damn, what is the hold up?

Everything has arrived. This whole thing has been a mess, I suggested on ETS that he just partner with Amoeba.com as the fulfillment partner. Their webstore warehouse in based in LA, and they run that thing so well.
