I think Gotta Groove is just protecting themselves. I’m sure they will press these records, I think they just need direct approval from the band and not just hearsay from the Internet. 

Exactly 

It still could happen if they get the proper licensing they need. Just as of this morning they didn’t have that.

Let the shit hit the fan 

They’re trying to make it happen. Just at this moment in time, it’s a no go till they get a little more info. I hope it works out.

As of this moment Gotta Groove and Wax Mage will NOT be pressing this record. It doesn’t mean they won’t press them but as of right now they have reached out to band management for clarification due to some US Copyright laws. They won’t press any of these records until they receive the clarification they need.

Yeah I also posted about the same thing in this thread.  I'm pretty sure it is not wax mage, and although the guys came on a facebook group  to explain why it showed the digital album for sale ,when asked about wax mage there was no response.   Wax mage replied to requests to press from someone i know ,stating that  due to copyright issues in the states they would not be able to proceed, and although they were aware of the situation they would not press this album on facebook posts alone, that this would not cut it legally in the states.  So unless the band also give some documentation that they would require then they wouldn't be ableto go ahead.  I mean hopefully they will be able to sort it out, but the kickstarter wax mage is not 100% guaranteed either, and I have an email response confirming this, which i must actually reply to.

Isn’t it on the customer ordering records to agree that they have the permission to press? 

Does that also mean the GG won’t press this album?

Same master, different plants. Someone with fancy gear or strong opinions should do some comparisons. 

I’ll compare the two I ordered (Fuzz club and Stolen body and I might order the greenway). I’d be interested to hear some others too.

I wanna chime in here just cause I know its a common misconception, pirates press is not a pressing plant, they are a broker to GZ, there are 100s of brokers to GZ, GZ is located in the Czech Republic and is one of the largest plants in the world with 65+ presses in operation. 

Well where ever they ultimately get them pressed there seems to be a quality issue with the sound. To me it sounds like there’s no difference between what the vinyl sounds like and what the MP3 sounds like. Is that the plant? Or is it the vi to master? I personally don’t know. What I do know is that the sound quality of the records isn’t that great. 

Next question, who’s going to get this pressed at Pallas or RTI?

The pressing plant used also makes a huge difference regardless of the same master being used for all

Also true. Gizz press all their records at pirate press and theyre not that impressive. 

Most of these are going to sound the same because they’ll all be from the same vinyl master. It’ll come down to things that will effect sound. Ie splatter, hand made, black etc. Black vinyl theoretically will sound the best.

If you order from the QOTSA site or Matador you get early access to ticket sales. So there's that.  I also was able to buy from matador and get media mail shipping on the deluxe.

Anyone know the deal with the promos? Where were they available?

Anyone going to any of these shows in the US? Just curious if they have any cool vinyl variants for sale. I'll be there Saturday in NYC!

From the photos I saw looks like they'll have from mind fuzz and on. Nothing exclusive. There will be a NYC poster though.

I coped a copy yesterday from you local record store.

Like someone else said, the US pressing is available for much cheaper. International shipping is expensive. Which makes this particular pressing more expensive for us US folks. I'm not sure what all the complaining is about. If you want this particular pressing then you'll have to pay up for shipping. It's not the Bands fault that  shipping prices are so high or that they're from Australia and they have a lot of US fans... even if they dropped it to $30 aud it would still be about $40 usd  after shipping and for whatever reason records are expensive in Australia. 

I love this band! Just got tickets to the NY show.

My picture disc just arrived from ATO, looks sweet.

What kind of merch do they have on this tour? By any chance are they selling the the Nonagon Infinity t shirt?  

In NYC they had T-shirts for The Murlocs (but only Large and XL) and they had 4 kinds of King Gizzard T-shirts, the last 4 albums, a poster, and $5 Photos. I only bought a Murlocs T-shirt because it was kinda badass... even though i'm a medium.

Isn't there supposed to be a box set?

They stated during the release that the picture discs won't ship until June. Pumped for the NYC show. I bought my tickets before they even announced the album. Couldn't ask for a better opener too, King Gizzard AND The Murlocs. Been dying to see The Murlocs for about 2 years, I didn't know if I would get to see them.
