Surprised they haven't pressed any of Britney's discography yet. I'd be all over that.

Well, Thomas is, Zack is too busy thinking of drama to get hits on his shitty-ass website.

Vinyl Digital tweeted the other day "Finally... a official press of Kendrick Lamar's "To Pimp A Butterfly" Coming soon! with a link to a pre-order. https://twitter.com/VinylDigital_de/status/624609209997365248 
 
Looks like an EU pressing. http://www.hhv.de/shop/de/artikel/kendrick-lamar-to-pimp-a-butterfly-435008

I haven't found a North American site to pre-order it yet. Either way I'm really excited for this. I finally bought Good Kid Maad City yesterday. 
 
*Edit* - Looks like a late September Release. 

PRAISE NORMA

Travis I'm still waiting for the Hanson discography.... updates plz.

My band, Spirits ( http://www.spiritsxxx.bandcamp.com ) released our debut LP back in May and I've been meaning to post a collection of pics showing off the packaging we designed to go with the record.  If you've got a second to scroll please give it a look as we're pretty happy with how everything turned out!
 

 
This is how the LP looks when you first see it/pick it up. In the poly bag its actually kind of difficult to tell that it has a vertical wrap and just looks like a standard white cover with the pencil drawing and the bands name on it.
 

 
As you slide the vertical wrap off of the LP it reveals the record's title: Discontent. Also the next layer below the skin from our sad looking gal on the front cover.
 

 
Next you pull the LP jacket apart diagonally to reveal below the muscle layer... the skull. It is a printed dust-sleeve that houses the actual LP. We really wanted to make something with multiple layers in the artwork and are super happy with how this turned out.  I don't know if I've ever seen packaging with this cut in it. We printed the jackets through Imprint and they were super cool with helping us figure out how to make this cut and with adding the extra tab on the traditional jacket so that all 4 sides of it would be sealed until the cut was made.
 

 
When you flip over the dust jacket it reveals a wall of lyrics and the credits for the album.
 

 
This is the back of the LP jacket that pulls apart diagonally. Song titles that are not visible when the wrap is fully on the LP.
 

 
The two main variants of vinyl are clear with black smoke and clear with red smoke. They turned out really cool and each one is pretty unique. The red LP in the top corner of this picture is the only copy that ended up being a pretty solid clear red throughout so naturally I had to hold onto it.
 

 
This gives a pretty good representation of the variation of the clear vinyl with color smoke added in. Bonus fact... the center labels are 3 dimensional if you look at them with 3D glasses. If you'd like to pick up a copy we have them in our limited run store here: http://www.spiritsxxx.limitedrun.com
 
and you can also download the record for free here: http://www.spiritsxxx.bandcamp.com

And last but not least, you can follow us on social media as "spiritsxboston" on instagram, tumblr, twitter, and such! Thanks for checking out the end result of our collective work as a band since the beginning of the year!

Musgraves tweeted:
@KaceyMusgraves: The pink Pageant Material vinyl is avail in a couple days! List of physical stores comin soon! Or avail on my website store or Amazon!

ah, the shelf on shelf situation has me a little worried! careful!

Not a critic, but every time I mail a record out and I get this one particular guy at the post office he's always got some comment about records and how no one knows what they are anymore or whatever.  It's only annoying because I'm there to mail a record, to another person who wants the record which I've done lots of times with his help. Apparently there are at least two people per visit (three including him) who are aware that records exist still.  

Got mine yesterday too... #600. The bottom right has a nice crunch in it, and the top right has a nice fold. The sleeves are also split up the wahzoo. 
 
I too am disappointed with the lack of signatures.... that was one of the perks with pre-ordering 

Next up:
 
Tangled - 7/31
 
Toy Story - 8/28
 
A Goofy Movie - 10/23
I saw the art for this and it looks great.
 
Bambi - 11/20

I mean I can sit here and list off reasons of how Merch Now has messed up countless times too. All I said was that I have had better experiences with one over the other so I stick with the one who hasn't let me (personally) down.
 
I don't get why this is getting everyone's panties in a bunch. This is like someone getting mad at me for buying from Marshalls (distributor) instead of paying full price at a company's official store online and pay for overpriced shipping...

hahahaha I love people hearing about the ETR shit for the first time

Easy pass.

TWY and Moose Blood is like a wet dream, so I won't get my hopes up. I'd love to see them take out Have Mercy, if it came close to me at least.

It's Attila, isn't it?

Big tour coming out of this too.
