I grabbed a tour copy. More accurately, a friend of mine showed up early and got one. Said they're doing like 25 copies a night.

If the Discogs pics and descriptions are anywhere close to accurate, I’m not sure I’d buy one even if I was in a position to.  Boring white vinyl with a boring white and black alternative art.  
 

I know it’s probably the hand numbering that gets everyone hard but it’s disappointing considering how great the scarlet vinyl version turned out.

Kinda bummed sweetheart wasn’t repressed too so I could’ve picked up both

Sweetheart needs to get repressed soon

I like the indie variant better for the cover.  

I jumped on the cancel band version and buy the Target version bandwagon.  The cheaper cost and better variant for the cover outweighed a glossy photo

There’s also a UK exclusive variant of Avery on red and yellow that doesn’t (yet?) seem to be available to import in the US.  Trying to remember where I saw it, maybe Resident Music.

Norman records, Piccadilly, and other UK stores have it along with Fire Records.  It appears to be UK only

Where did you see this?

Both are clever but the S/T's album art has always been linked to red in my mind.  I have a couple of other records that resemble the same kind of bloody mess and they both turned out so cool.  So Rising Blood was an easy pick for me, personally.

I was leaning that way too.

S/T reissue, first time on colored viny.

I can’t decide between the variants

I’d probably splurge the $50 if it was color vinyl.  

This looks like it’s going to be another “I loved their first album but…” kind of band for me.

The album is obviously noisy in nature so maybe I’m not being as critical as I ought to be, but I wouldn’t call it a terrible press – are you referring to the 2 comments on Discogs? That “review” section is pretty entertaining.  One guy keeps malding over the aftermarket prices.  A few more seem really confused where and when the Kickstarter happened.  Throw in a “just buy the CD like I did it sounds good” cope.  Your usual shenanigans for that site.

Yeah it was basically just those.  Don’t usually pay attention to it but since it was a press done by the band I was a little more cautious.

I'm really struggling.

$50 for 75 minutes of sonic bliss.

Hand packed and mailed by Scott himself. 

I splurged on the Astrobrite cassettes at $12 a pop. The inflation is real, and I know the  man does have to eat.

Confession:  If it were /300 signed by him and Melissa like bloweyelashwish, I probably would have pulled the trigger already.  Just checked discogs on that one, and I should probably be handling with white gloves every time I spin it lol!!

Is that pressing as bad as everyone says it is?  That’s why I’m hesitant to pull the trigger on this one even though it’s black vinyl and probably sounds better as a result.

Ordered both from BM with free shipping. $63.98. 

Same.  Although after I ordered it seemed like they sold out.  I got a confirmation email but does anyone know if Bullmoose is good about fulfilling orders they let you make?

I went ahead and bought from the bands store in case a US shipping option never becomes available.  

81 ppd to the US.  I’m hoping there are US shipping options.

Blushing will release their debut EP Tether on vinyl for the first time, as a limited (700 copies) pink colored vinyl packaged as a double EP, with sophomore EP Weak on Side B.

Instant buy

Always held off buying this in hopes they’d reissue it this way.  

I went to high school with a couple of these guys. 

Couldn’t pull the trigger on the signed art card or regular box set.  Just too much.  Hopefully Sound of Vinyl will have one of their sales and maybe I’ll get it then.  
 

or just buy the reasonably priced CD on this one

Sort of sucks there aren’t any demos or live tracks added onto this.

Cool guy alert

Oh I’m sorry.  I don’t need a record with “cool guy shit” in it
