I'm running a Rega P2 with Ortofon 10 - TEAC A-R600 - KEF Crestas. I haven't listened to the album on CD before, so maybe I should do that to compare. With it being one of their earlier albums, I expected it to have a dirtier sound than the more polished-sounding recent LP's. Thought it had a wide enough soundstage and good lows/highs. Having heard plenty of shit bootlegs in the past (all of the pearl jams for example), this one really doesn't feel like a bootleg. (I must also admit that I was completely stoned all day yesterday while listening.... So will give it another spin this evening.) *upsdate* Played it again this evening. Still thought it sounded pretty good, although I did notice some distortion at the end of B1. It's also slilghtly warped.

Happy with my purchase. Good quality sleeve, and sounds fine to me.

I've got this pre-ordered on Amazon UK. Now that everyone is receiving their copies I started getting my hopes up that I'd be getting it soon, but just had an email from Amazon to say it's pushed back until 15th. Goddamn it Amazon. You suck.

One new release & one upcoming ! [s7R011] Sabatta - Middle Of The Night [s7R013] Spookey Ruben - MODES III www.solid7records.co.uk

Yeah I just missed that deal.... xtra-vision.co.uk Had the link open all night on Friday, waiting for permission from the wife. As soon as she gave me the green light it went out of stock! Gutted.

This is awesome news. Will be nice to finally have Field Songs on vinyl.

Guys, I'm really stoked to be announcing this... Gary Lee Conner - Under The Weeping Willow Tree (A Lifetime of Demos) You may know Gary Lee as the guitarist of the mighty Screaming Trees. His other projects include Dr Janet, The Purple Outside & most recently The Microdot Gnome. Solid 7 Records is proud to bring you this 47-track collection of historical demos covering the years 1987-2007. There will be 50 copies of the album, presented as a DOUBLE cassette in a large 'side by side' style case, plus hand-numbered sleeve and a guitar pick! I am anticipating a late-October release, will start a pre-order sometime before then. Of all the bands to come out of the Pacific Northwest in the 80's & 90's, none had an affect on my life quite like the Trees did with their 1996 album Dust. I have spent the last 17 years crate-digging in record stores, always trying to find a Trees rarity, or that elusive copy of Clairvoyance (I finally got my hands on one in July!). So yeah, this is a big deal for me to be working with someone whose music had such a big influence on my life.

Nice collection man. Yeah, +1 for Planet Terror soundtrack on vinyl. That would be sweet.

Thanks mate! I've recently partnered up with a German distro who is stocking my tapes, not sure if the shipping might be cheaper from him... Tapeworshiprec

One of my first releases, still have some copies available. Infinite Evening is the debut album by LA space-rocker Zero The Astronaut. The trippy combination of beautiful guitar tones & ethereal vocals make this the perfect soundtrack for a stoned summer evening. Limited edition of 30 gold glitter cassettes. Zero The Astronaut - Static Or Electric? Video Also I have created a discount code for VC. Enter collective20 on Bandcamp checkout for 20% on anything in my store.

It is a fantastic record. I'm a big fan of his 90's solo albums with Mike Johnson, so it was great to hear MJ playing on a Lanegan record again. The track 'When It's In You' is a particular highlight, as this would go on to become 'Methamphetamine Blues' on the Weird Chill EP. Can't fault the pressing either, sounds great.

Last 2 copies of Teacher - EP1812 reduced to £3 on the Bandcamp. Great EP of sludgy Seattle stoner rock. Show 'em D-Bry ! #YesYesYes On another note, I now have an Instagram if you like that sort of thing.

I'm just gonna wait for my store to get it... Hopefully the September date they gave me was a mistake. Pretty bummed, was looking forward to having this for the weekend. Oh well ! :-)

Thanks for the info.... Maybe a UK distro problem? It isn't available from Amazon UK.

Anyone know if this has been delayed? Release date is today, but my local store hasn't received theirs, and can't see any online retailers showing 'in stock'. *edit* - My local store now says that it's listed for 18th September. Bummer. Was looking forward to picking this up today.

Yeah, that was my bad. I should have made it clear that the band would have some to sell also. I've refunded a couple quid on the shipping mate.

Nice one man, thanks! The band will have some copies for sale too, I think their copies only arrived in the US today. They are touring the west coast through August, who knows where they are headed after that! They definitely seem to have created a good buzz for themselves around this EP.

Don't bother with the PJ boots. They have decent quality packaging, but the sound quality is horrible. I bought Avocado / No Code / Binaural / Yield and sold them all within days of buying them. I also bought Beck - Mellow Gold, with sounds really really good. That's about as far as my experience with bootlegs goes.

[s7R009] Year Of The Cobra - The Black Sun EP /40 copies on red tapes. Hand numbered/made O-Cards. My latest release is from Seattle bass/drum stoner rock duo Year Of The Cobra. Just in time for their west coast tour this August! Available 1 week from today (Fri 24th July). yearofthecobra.bandcamp.com

[s7R006] The Solid 7 Vol.1 - UK Stoner Rock /50 copies on green cassettes. Hand numbered J-Card. Buy on bandcamp First in a series of compilations focusing on Stoner Rock, this one being all UK bands. 7 bands / 14 tracks. Had a really nice review for this one a couple days ago from Raised By Gypsies [review here] "This is just such a fun concept to me because it's like getting seven cassingles in one and though I'm not usually a fan of reviewing compilations this is not your typical compilation at all."

[s7R008] Dick Valentine - Here Come The Bags! Edition of 200 green glitter cassettes. Hand numbered J-Cards. Available from www.solid7records.co.uk (Bandcamp) £5

Alright guys. Pleased to see that we've finally got a cassette section on VC ! I figured I would start a thread for my label, I'll put all of my releases in here rather than starting seperate threads etc... So I started my DIY label Solid 7 Records in January this year. First release was my own band (Speedpig) and have then released a couple local Welsh bands and some from as far as Seattle & LA. Something really cool happened in April, when I approached Dick Valentine (singer of Electric 6) to suggest that he release his latest solo album as a cassette to coincide with his UK tour. He went for it, and it was such a cool experience to put out an album by a guy whose music I have loved for like 12 years, and who I have a huge amount of respect for. Have gained a bit of attention from local media, have done some radio/newspaper interviews. It's been a pretty fun ride so far! Pretty much everything is done DIY style, the only release I had pro-dubbed was the Dick Valentine tape. I print and hand-number the J Cards, dub the tapes etc in house. Tapes can be purchased from my bandcamp at solid7records.bandcamp.com

August is looking expensive what with this, Cornell reissuing Euphoria Mourning, and a new Lanegan record. Ouch! (NOT complaining!)

Yes the 2xLP is legit.

I'll definitely be grabbing this. I'm a sucker for all things Screaming Trees / Lanegan
