Henry just knows what's up.

The blue is really nice. Might have to double dip and get that one too.

Although two years old, amusing and dead-on piece by Henry Rollins on the record collector scums.

Dammit. Woke up to this. Asking for a refund.
I had a bad feeling about it after ordering: hence the reason I questioned it. The whole "secret release" strategy. The band not positing about it. The band previously saying in an interview they wanted to do something deluxe for Chroma.
Sending request for refund now. Sorry Ross.

wow, you are taking my side on something..potentially for the first time ever. 
 
Also, I was never at risk to get sued by 3eb, The band threatened the label that if they did not revoke our, already approved license that they would boycott those albums digitally and tell their fans to no longer support the major label owned catalog.Since my contract was already signed and approved, the label asked me for a favor & in good faith in agreeing to not move forward at that point. We already have audio remastered and artwork approved and ready to print. Legally and contractually I could have moved forward 2 years before their re-issues and they would have been even cheaper to the public.  I was just kind of in the middle of something which I was told by the label, the band already approved. 

For the record, I offered to make the band a tour or webstore variant and GIVE TO IT THEM AT COST, not wholesale...LABEL COST which although is pricey because it is a major label license...I still feel is more than fair.   I offered to give them full approval on everything and let me handle all the logistics with major label licensing. The manager has been VERY nice on the phone and email every time we have spoke so I am not sure who runs these accounts but someone is very bitter and handling this unprofessionally in my opinion.  I didn't have to reach out to the band at all & most labels who are doing this sort of thing rarely do. I have been a fan of the band for a decade and did the right thing by reaching out to multiple members of their camp. The fact that they are straight up denying knowing about this is messed up, especially when I informed them that I am obligated to make at least another 500 copies in the next couple years. Their manager very much understood and understands where I am coming from, as I understand that being a band who does not own your masters SUCKS which is why i offered to sell them copies or a variant AT COST from day one.  They were on board and then after the contract was signed with the label and the wheels were in motion , communication stopped so what am I supposed to do. Not to mention dozens of people on here, have been begging for a pressing of this for years & i know for a fact that another competing label already was in line for the license so I doubt the band would have been the first to release this regardless.

You mean that one other time it happened with RX Bandits. If you remember he didn't go through with the Third Eye Blind shit because he didn't have their blessing.
 
It sounds like he had their approval and then they blew him off (obviously just one side of the story). But this argument is always a weird one for me. Does the band need to give anyone permission to make more CDs? Isn't that why they sign to a label in the first place, so that the label can deal with the promotion, production, and licensing of the physical items.
 
This obviously is more of a moral grey area to some people than it is to me.

RBF just started to post on social media about these so FOR THOSE ON THE FENCE, THEY ARE MOVING FAST!   
 
208 Left of ETR swirl variant left as of now 
 
61 Left of solid green as of now

You guys get so butt hurt about labels doing this. How bout cartel could've said "well we want to do this now and since we had already given you blessing well reimburse you on all the money you've spent preparing the release already"

GOLDFINGER! Please!
(Hang-ups was on Universal but that's the one i really would want to get.) 

Hopefully this is the start of more Mojo releases being pressed finally.

I mean, who wouldn't love a band that tried to profit off of columbine, who has a singer that uses the words "faggot" and "nigga" in everyday conversation and then puts out a song called "Bring A Gun To School"?

I am not a variant guy, I already own this on coke bottle clear, but wow this splatter is so awesome looking.... so tempting.

You will have to wait and find out tomorrow once these go on sale

I will make a NEW PO THREAD once the image is finished (likely later tonight) with all on sale info but they will likely be going on sale TUESDAY afternoon
 
Here are pics of the final product, the colors came out awesome!
 
 

 

I'm in the same boat you are, and just bought the 120 (see the last post in the stickied "Beginner's Guide" post).  However, after researching and reading the opinions of the knowledgeable members of this forum, I am returning it before even opening it, and buying a Debut Carbon.  Definitely sounds like the better choice, and a great beginner TT for someone starting down the audiophile path.  The 120 sounds like a decent choice for someone who just wants to play some records, but isn't into the love of the hobby/medium.  Also, I was planning to upgrade the cartridge on the 120 for $75, but the Debut Carbon already comes with the Ortofon 2M Red, which justifies some of the added expense.

Nice - lol @ the King Diamond onesie. Almost makes me want a kid to put it on. (not really)

Got my green today.  Double gatefold 2  lp with 2 posters and a 12 page booklet.  Vinyl is at least 180 gram.  The dark opaque green looks nice.  Quality all around.  Worth every penny.  You get yours yet Dave?

Can someone update the first post to reflect the information from Travis? The title says last update was 4/23 (it is actually 4/30) and the text inside says that it was last updated 3/5/14. As a new person coming to find out about the releases it is hard to find the exact post where Travis updates if they aren't reflected on the first page. I bet a lot of people are wondering where Buddha is on the store!

I think the cover art is super cool, and the variants that Pure Noise came up with are really creative and match the art well, but this new track doesn't do it for me. I'll probably wait for another song from them. I enjoyed the last album mostly. Maybe this just needs to grow on me.

The new LP from Heart To Heart coming out on Pure Noise. The record is called "Dulce" and it's available for preorder.

Anyone have extra copies of the Paramore Record Store Day Broken Record vinyl? I spent four hours on the FBR website trying to buy these on RSD, and due to website problems, was never able to complete my order. I was trying to buy two for my daughters since our local record stores did not have this vinyl. I have two devastated teenagers so I would love to locate some reasonably-priced copies!
 
Thanks!

Hello!
 
Do you still have this vinyl?
 
Thanks!

Thanks!    I will definitely check it out tomorrow!

Yes, but you are in Finland?
