Apparently they were using Second City Prints and that's why.

Ahhhh that makes sense, I didn't realize they used them for fullfillment, I thought they did it in house.

I am assuming the same tracklisting as the Bad Timing Records one?

Also did Bad Timing close down? Their site is down?

Looks like there is a Record Store Day 4/20 release date exclusive variant.

On Facebook someone posted that the url at checkout is wrong and if you correct it to what it is at cart page it works.

I managed to get a copy doing it. I never owned the vinyl so I purchased.

The site won't let you check out so not missing out.

I emailed PGR over a month ago with a question and they didn't answer lol.

Must be that extended holiday break...

bought Finch’s WIITB from their warehouse ‘finds’ on 11/24.. still didn’t ship yet 🙄

Not Drive Thru, but same company, I ordered the Farewell album on 11/22 and says in hand and shipping and mine hasn't shipped either. They usually take awhile to ship, I'd say either next week or first week of January.

3 releases getting announced later today.

And from their comment in the replies it isn't Steel Train. Apparently Jack hasn't signed off 100%, but their words it isn't 100% but it isn't 0

Near Mint - I Can Make A Mess - Silver & Gold (wearenearmint.com)

I got the same message, but JR has also hinted on socials something is coming for Black Friday. I would assume there is going to be a higher pressing for Black Friday/web store. I believe they did the same for the Losing Streak anniversary, but I will bet something will be announced for Black Friday.

fwiw, I just ordered a $10 LP from their website and it came inside a standard whiplash, inside an oversized 4" mailer with heavy bubble wrap.  Some of the best shipping outside of Acoustic Sounds.

Good to know, I was hestiant because I know they aren't a "record store" and wasn't sure if it was going to be packaged okay. However, I went with the tri-color, couldn't make up my mind because all these looked great. I don't care about numbers knowing they had the lowest amount, but good to know for future variants.

I never shop at Urban Outfitters, living in PA where they are headquartered, the store's prices were insanely high. However, that variant looks pretty cool. 

Black Friday list is now up.

Drive Thru is teasing again, and from the comments it is an album that has never been pressed before.

I am hoping Steel Train or I Can Make A Mess, but with all the Something Corporate hype lately it might be the ep. Or now that I think of it maybe Fenix Tx.

Anyone know if there is any difference to the packaging compared to the Spartan Records version that was released years ago? i.e. expanded booklet, etc?

For anyone that hasn't picked it up, Real Gone Music is having a sale on LP's and Less Than Jake's - In With The Out Crowd is only $9.99 from $26.99. Not a favorite among fans, but that's a good price. There is also 5 other pages of albums for sale.

If anyone wants the Woodstock vinyl, I have mine up for bid on ebay.

Either they are expecting a big vinyl delay or that store missed with the album release date, the album is on Apple Music now with the same October 13 date as mentioned before. These guys have done Friday the 13th themed videos and merch before so it seems pretty bang on.

I’m going to say it’s a vinyl delay, because that site is used for tons of indie stores. It is just an interface and caters to any record store.

album is coming October, but I think vinyl is just later.

Their website is locked now, but if you put in your email they will give you early access.

Also it looks like the album comes out 1/26/24 and there is a black vinyl and red vinyl for indie stores

I think Scott knows this. It's still not really "addressing" the situation though.

Ohhhhhh like in depth, I doubt we will ever get that answer.

It’s still bizarre to me that they never really addressed kicking James out and he hasn’t really been heard from since. Hope he’s okay. 

No idea what has become of him, but they did post about him not being in the band anymore

Crossing fingers that the 7/26 announcement that Early November posted is a vinyl reissues of the Room Is Too Cold. Drive Thru's instagram reposted it, which makes me hope we are seeing a 20th anniversary reissue.

Vinyl/merch links pure noise's merchnow store and this is on smartpunk so probably not.

Edit: the rerecorded stuff is under pure noise on spotify so confusion is here

Saw that too, that's why I figured maybe there are different variants under different labels? Maybe Smart Punk owns the physical media rights and Pure Noise only digital? No idea, but I hope it comes out sometime besides shows.

I am curious if this will have an impact on A-F Records ...

Saw on twitter some bands have cut ties with the label. 

I heard October too, but nothing concrete as a date. I believe Travis posted that it was being mastered a month ago? Could've been Tom, anywho, I saw them on this past tour and they were very good. Also got to photograph the show, but it was sound board. They did this last time they went on a brand new run when Matt Skiba first joined. Regardless, I'd expect some news this year on the album with a tour to promote it. The US tour just ended so I'd expect a summer release date on the album with another summer US tour, but probably not as big of venues.
