    Yeah, the white is a buzzkill.  Not the worst variant in this scenario, but certainly not a top pick.  If I was a lesser man, I'd grab the deluxe and the indie clear, swap out the vinyl itself, and sell that 1/1 "indie white" for dirt cheap.  Knowing me, I may end up getting both though.  I'm a sucker for prints, and quite like the aesthetic of this album's cover a lot more than Rave Tapes.  The inclusion of art prints, a bonus 12" of content, and a fancy box to house it in seems worthy of springing an extra $25 for.  Definitely among the more reasonably price boxes I've seen in a while.

     

    I haven't listened to the new single yet.  The writeup sounds fairly enticing; I figured they weren't done with their spacey synth sounds, and it sounds like ECS will have them sprinkled in healthily.  Rave Tapes didn't really have any moments that achieved the signature Mogwai wall of monumental guitars and massive climaxes, so I'm hoping the album description isn't exaggerating the return to that sound on a handful of tracks featured on the new album.

    Damnit, I've been trying to talk myself out of the box...but I completely agree with you. Buying the box.

    OK, I know this is only one person's experience, but I wouldn't go near Hell's Headbangers again. It says on their site:

    RECORDS ARE SHIPPED OUTSIDE OF THEIR JACKETS TO PREVENT DAMAGE DURING TRANSIT.

    Well, they didn't for me. Huge seam splits with the records sticking out of them. When I reminded them of the above, they said 'not our problem'. Only got my money back when I got my credit card company involved.

     

    And yes, the records were still playable; I'm a whiny bastard etc. etc., but they put it right at the top of every page listing vinyl and then they don't do it. With multiple records.

    Yeah my records from them have always been sealed as well. It stinks cause the packing job they do is really nice.

    Has anybody ordered from here before? How long do they take to ship usually? I saw this deal and bought 4 records Sunday night, but still no shipping notification. Most distros I usually order from ship out in a day or two. I hope they turn out to be reliable, because the selection and prices are good even without the coupon code. 

    extremely reliable. fear not.
