September 10 is the new date!

Refund all around

Thanks for this thread.  I managed to snag one of the last band exclusives before they sold out.

As someone who waffled on buying the box set and never did, I’m super happy with these as a consolation. 

Oh I would be too.  To be honest, if they had Gala on clear too I’d just buy that, Split, and Spooky and call it a day.

Been listening to the remastered reissues this morning on Spotify. They sound so damn good. 

 

Anyone know if any other places still have the clear vinyl versions?

 

So just AirPod listening to them.  Can’t tell a huge difference between them and the box set years ago.  

Does anyone know if the CDs are remasters as well?

What to do, what to do.......................I think I'm going to grab the Electra 2000 and You'd Prefer..........and call it a day.

Same.  I almost got the clear version of Inlet but the black vinyl copy sounds so good.

Drop Nineteens - Hard Light LP

PO:

Drop Nineteens Hard Light — Wharf Cat Records

Drop Nineteens - Hard Light - (CD, Vinyl LP) | Rough Trade

Drop Nineteens-Hard Light Exclusive LP Color Vinyl With Autographed Postcard | Newbury Comics

Hard Light | Drop Nineteens (bandcamp.com)

 

 

Grabbed the cloudy clear one from wharf cat earlier in hopes I was in the first 200 and I liked the variant the best with the cover art.  
 

but regardless so good to get new music from them.   

I was really hoping these reissues would have all the b-sides and extras that were received digitally on the box set.  I would absolutely buy reissues if they ever included those on the albums

Such great albums.  I bought the box set years ago so I won’t need this but glad to see they are reissuing them.

Went to my local store today to grab a copy and the guy told me there were like 7 people in line this morning for one (?!)

I love Alex G.  But the hype over a live album is mind boggling to me.

I mean hell, one came with the deluxe edition of Beach Music

I went with pink just because it was the Numero Exclusive.  I actually like the way all 3 variants look though.  

I went to high school with two people in this band but never listened to this until now

You gotta look for a black RTI pressing dude, I have it and it's one of the best-sounding albums in my collection.  Dead quiet, and just.... perfect.  I see all the comments on Discogs tho, that's mind-blowing. 

Also, for this one Turntable Labs has a green that they said is limited to 2,000.  I made an order with them, and the shipped everything in my order already except that lol.  Looks the same as the other one listed tho?

It’s the same version as the European green.  Turntable lab is just the exclusive US retailer for it.

Gonna get Jeff's variant. Wonder what that pressing size is

Pretty sure it’s /1000

Is Secretly Store shipping $10 for everyone else? Jesus

Went with gold on Bandcamp...

Same here.  
 

also I like how Secretly’s variants are becoming more exclusive to their store and Bandcamp and aren’t also US indie retail versions.

I had never heard them before, this is REALLY good. Does anyone know where I can find a distro copy of Thank You For Being Here in the US? The only places I’m finding it stocked are in the EU/UK

Unfortunately I don’t believe they’ve ever done a big distro of this album.   But I’m sure New Morality Zine will do another US pressing of it again.  

This one coming out on Dead Oceans too?

Are you talking about Von? Because that's by far my least favorite album of theirs. Very little magic there for me. Everything since has has infinitely more magic.

No I’m talking about Agaetis Byrjun.  Sorry.  I’m also not a fan of Von which is why I always forget it’s their actual first album.  
 

I also feel like I don’t give Takk enough credit

This is a band whose first album is a favorite album of all time for me and they’ve never been able to completely match that magic.  Doesn’t appear they will on this new LP either

It was on every vinyl pressing. It was removed from the cd after 9/11.

 

They seem to have gone with the shitty us album cover vs the iconic original cover 

Yeah.  I’d be in on it if it had the iconic cover

So I waited on the Beach House EP because there were /8000 in the US alone yet I can’t find them in any store right now.  Surely they had to hold some back for sale on sub pop in the future or something.  I have a hard time believe /8000 are already gone.

Decided to finally buy this record. Didn't care about the disappointing "Cherry Tree Exclusive" with flexi. Came across this version that I hadn't heard about. Wonder what it's limited to.

Also here listed under Phoebe Bridgers: https://www.merchbar.com/rock-alternative/bridgers-phoebe/phoebe-bridgers-first-two-pages-of-frankenstein-exclusive-opaque-turquoise-pre-order

I jumped on this one pretty early after they announced.  Based upon what I saw then, maybe it’s /1500

All of her stuff is great.
