Justin, any word on the next round of represses of the individual albums? I picked up S/T and Watch Out, but not Crisis as I have the Pic Disc, now I am wishing I had grabbed Crisis as my go-to copy to play. It looks to be sold out everywhere :/

Reeeeaally want a high quality individual press of Redeemer.

So, I live in New Zealand which means RSD is very hit and miss down here and we only get a fraction of what the US does and what tends to get ordered by the stores in pretty mainstream, so my expectations are always pretty low (but ever hopeful). Last year I was pretty pumped about the Mastodon Live at Brixton release, but being prog metal, didn't think I would see a copy down here. Went to the first store... nothing.... went to the second store.... finally the third store in Auckland that takes part and there it was, the only copy they had got. I was very stoked! Since then has spent a lot of time on rotation. Unfortunately for me this year, the ETID 7" was the only release i was looking for, and none of the stores ordered it. So it would be awesome to win this one!

I have heard saturnalia and cheap ludes as they were itunes bonus tracks... they're pretty solid, similar to the rest of the album. Haven't heard the other two, though I would imagine the tourettes cover is pretty badass.

I'll put my hand up for a copy also, if anyone is kind enough to pick up some spares. I'm in New Zealand, I checked with the two main stores in Auckland and neither had even bothered to order it, so I never stood a chance!

So many copies on eBay.... so many jerks. I am in New Zealand, I had no chance of getting one of these :/

I ordered it. I have been looking for this record for way too long and seeing it go for stupid money, not to jump on whatever this version is for $23.

New compulsory format for sale threads? The effort is appreciated.

This champ is trying to sell this for $150... http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-Mars-Volta-5-inch-VINYL-Record-CD-VIDEO-NEW-SEALED-FREE-US-SHIPPING-/311328579067?&_trksid=p2056016.m2518.l4276 You can pick one up here for $12, http://www.discogs.com/sell/release/1521276?ev=rb

This didn't sell last time at $41.... what are you setting the reserve at?

Subscribed and commented! Cool videos; I like the Vinyl Hauls... (My user name is Andrew Clouston) I'd love Mastodon – Leviathan (Gray). Cheers!

I've more or less become desensitized to the crazyness, however this is ridiculous... considering it is available from the label for $23. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Death-Cab-for-Cutie-PLANS-LP-vinyl-180-gram-Deluxe-2xLP-MINT-SEALED-bark-47-/111595312494?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276

First up, thanks again for all your recommendations... they were spot on. I ended up visiting Euclid (spent the most time there), Skully'z and Louisiana Music Factory. There was a band playing while I was at Louisiana Music Factory which was cool. A huge selection across those stores, really nice people too. As expected I didn't find a huge amount of things on my want list, but did find some random purchases. I only had half day or so in the end, and not a huge amount to spend but picked up: - One of the old Preservation Hall compilations - Deftones - Around the Fur - A live Duke Ellingham album - A Dave Brubeck Album - An Andy Williams Christmas Album (total impulse buy for the wife) - Neil Young - Harvest (an old UK pressing) - I also picked up a copy of the Nirvana Sliver 7" on black. It's a first press (1990), with just the sleeve. I love both Sliver and Dive, I thought it might have been kinda hard to find and was only $5. Turns out it's not rare and not worth much more than that (and I think it's supposed to come with a paper cover), but I still think it was a pretty cool find. (Pic Below) I put back a copy of Astral Weeks by Van Morrison that I should have bought also. As an aside. I went into Peaches as I was walking right past it... you weren't wrong on this one either, ridiculous prices! Just crazy. In terms of other stuff I did in town, I caught a show at Preservation Hall, saw Ben Howard at the Civic, ate at so many good places (I had way too many muffuletta's) and spent a fair bit of time on Frenchman and Bourbon Streets. Awesome city, will be going back again soon!

Found this thread searching for something else... 1999 for me: Poison the Well - The Opposite of December Tiger Army - Tiger Army

Thanks! You guys are awesome.

Thanks for all the replies, much appreciated! I'll probably only have a day to look around, so there are some good recommendations to keep me busy! Thread drift... but I'll also take recommendations on stuff to see and places to eat

I'm going to be in New Orleans for work next week and was going to do some shopping while in town. (I'm from New Zealand, so it's a good way to save money on international shipping!). I'm staying near Lafayette Square. Can anyone recommend some good places to check out in that area? List of wants below to give an idea of the kind of stuff I'm looking for... I did a search here before and discovered I leave town the day of Record Raid :/ Wants... AFI, Bloc Party, The Bronx, Death Cab For Cutie, Deftones, The Doors, ELO, Every Time I Die, Hopesfall, Jack White, Jimmy Eat World, Mastodon, Van Morrison, Nirvana, Norma Jean, Queens of the Stone Age, Pearl Jam, The Roots, The Shins, Smashing Pumpkins, Taking Back Sunday, Weezer, Neil Young

This fucker obviously picked one up and put it on eBay immediately... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Death-Cab-for-Cutie-Magik-Magik-Orchestra-Live-2012-2-x-LP-Vinyl-Record-w-MP3-/191475232162?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276

Same here... #16123, haha. Sounds great!

Just picked up the single LP version of Houses of the Holy and is sounds really muddy and generally pretty shit. All of the other pressings have sounded nice. Has anyone else found this? Perhaps a dud batch of pressing?

Mine arrived today (New Zealand)... stoked! Have been playing it this afternoon, sounds great.

Still waiting... but I didn't spring for expedited shipping, so I'm not expecting it for another couple of weeks.

Ordered on the 14th (NZ Time). Just received a shipping notification... I only paid for surface mail shipping, so have to wait it out.

Yep, just got an email from Music Stack and paid via PayPal.
