Bikini Kill’s Reject All-American (my favorite record of theirs) is getting a 25th Anniversary repressing on aqua vinyl for Bandcamp day.   /500

If you didn’t cop the box, there should still be zero reason why anyone is missing these records from their collection, regardless of variant.  Good on Numero for keeping them in print even if they’re falling back on their stance of colored represses.

 

The fear of missing out on missing out on the box?

Lol.  Yes.  I’m just going to run with that. 

Easy buy.   This is making the FOMO on missing out on the box set easier

Does anyone even know the difference between the deluxe and standard vinyl? I don't want to miss out on these like last time either. Tempted by that standard bundle... 

the deluxe is mastered from analog and the standard is digital master.  
 

I think the deluxe has a tip on sleeve and I’m not sure about the standard.  
 

that seems to be it

Glad to hear that I won’t have to pay UK shipping prices or Newbury markup to get the Repetition color vinyl.  

Don't care about any of these signed lyric prints, but I do have continual regret about not pulling the trigger on the signed Dry Demos.

I still haven’t received a shipping email from numero for Challenge, but yesterday I sent them an email asking for a status on my order. I received a prompt reply saying they were prepping my order for shipment now (what a coincidence!), and my order page on the website is now updated saying shipped. No tracking number, though. 
 

So if you haven’t seen an email, or your order page still says pre-order (like mine did), shoot ‘em an email. 

We’re you able to download your Challenge mp3s?  I get an error when I try to get mine

Can't believe I bought a fucking gitd record in 2021. I hate myself. 

I bought one last year that sounded just fine.  Might have been a unicorn but who knows

If there's one complaint about LGM it's that darn flimsy jacket that just won't close properly. I hoped that the jacket quality would've been like that VMP release.

Haven’t played mine yet.  I though the jackets for LGM were tip on jackets?

The boxsets are fine.  Not quite up to the usual Numero quality of a full boxset, but the bang:buck ratio is pretty good.  They’re more like “anthology sets” where each album is slipped into a single pocket printed sleeve, and then all of that slides into a hardcover case.  Quality is decent with the occasional hiccup; i.e., the Empire set contains Leaves Turn Inside You, which Numero has acknowledged as having a faulty C side on many copies.  They were offering replacements for a while there, but are sadly out now.

 

I wouldn’t overpay for a copy of Repetition yet.  There seems to be random indie shops that are receiving the colored press, and it seems to have an MSRP of $20 or so.  Pretty cheap and people are saying it sounds great too.

Yeah I really want to snag that one but so far most copies I’ve found have been outside the US.   Hoping to find one with reasonable shipping.  

I’m just now kind of getting into Unwound.  Really like Repetition.  
 

Should I just get the Numero Box that includes that album plus The Future of What?   Is the box set done really well?  I know most of what Numero does is done well.  
 

plus a color vinyl version of Repetition seems like it would almost cost the same

If it wasn’t comical before, UO just made it comical

Well Jeff found a way to make me pass on one of his albums.  Lol

but in all seriousness I get the fun aspect of this.

I know Dischord is not trying to print money, but they will almost certainly press more, as MCW said. They're pressing the more popular releases, so they know what they're doing. I just hope they keep it rolling. I'd love a whole Fugazi color collection.

Yes and Shudder to Think

Bullmoose taking POs for a /500 clear indie variant

Matador email just said that clear was the indie exclusive copy.  So I doubt that’ll be a /500 variant

30 minutes ago, timsimmons said:

I assume the note is just gonna be a mass produced thing with a real sig and not like some real handwritten note shooting the shit. 

I figured it would be something like Phoebe’s signatures on her art prints.  Custom but very short.

I can add it to the cart, but I’m not seeing the note added so that has to be gone. 

I can add it to cart as well but when I go to check out it says item unavailable

nevermind

Yeah, it was expensive. I hope I get the note.

If you check your invoice, it should be included on there at a $0 cost item.   
 

Also it appears her version is already sold out??

Despite that $40 price, grabbed her exclusive version with the note

You may not want to wait too long, the main site is showing Sold Out.  I ordered because I’m down for the remixes and extra packaging.  My blue copy isn’t the original mix and I find that it’s not exactly a dealbreaker for me.  (Certainly not anything I’m going to pay $200 to fix with a Zomba mix anyway.)  If I have second thoughts I can easily just cancel before they ship in June.

Certainly the pressing will be larger than what they sold on their page?

That was some fine chirping boys

I still have no idea what it was all about

I mean the red swirly indie was probably at least 10k right? That sold out in the first weekend for my store, and could not be reordered. While this is not a full album her fan base is huge now. I would be surprised if she didn't go major for her 3rd album.

I’m really worried about a major record label jump.   I hope she won’t since she just started her own record label which is part of secretly.   

10 minutes ago, NapalmBrain said:

I think I read it was a 20k pressing, technically still limited. I bet they sell through by June. I could be wrong but I bet they sold quite a few already

If 2K sold out in under 20 minutes with 1 per person, 20K might actually be pretty limited.   Lol

its the cooler of the two variants too

It's weird. I personally don't get the mentality. If I missed out, I missed out. I'd rather have a nice and thick collection than 10 super rare releases that I can make a bunch of dudes on IG drool over.

At one point in time a long time ago, I would do dumb shit like this for some of my favorite artists.  But I quickly learned the lesson you just stated above. 
 

that and I said I’d never help a “middle-man” profit off a release again

Had to look for myself. Geez. Stimulus making people stupid. At the moment 425 sold items in the past few days. Someone bought the Killer 7" for $350, lots of today's release for $75+ dollars. Mountain Blast copy sold for $110. 

Oh they were stupid well before the stimulus.  It’s why flippers still have jobs
