Oh wow, I didn't even know there was a tour press, did you get a copy, if so how much was it? Did Protest The Hero have anything cool for sale too?

Anyone going to the Aaron West shows for the Alternate Covers of Bittersweet? I want a copy but I don't think I'll make it to a show. Let me know if you can snag me a copy.

amazing, can't wait to get this one

Dang dude where are you from, I got a shipping quote (first class) from CC for $4

mine just came in last Monday, I was a bit surprised to see it since I thought it got lost in the mail a long time ago.

That's insane that they didn't ship them out. Especially, considering that the pre-order page still states that it will ship out late April 2015 lol! On Alesana's facebook page they stated that they have just been recently (10/20/15) shipping out the Confessions vinyl. As for the Emptiness they stated that they have upcoming news regarding the vinyl.

awesome, thanks for the heads up!

whoa, apparently it was sold to the best offer. I wonder how much the offer was?

dude are you serious? did they literally put it in a UO bag and slapped your address on it? What was the condition of the records?

I agree, but hopefully the lowered Euro will offset postage. Interestingly, I got a 3.50 euro postage quote from a distro there which would now equate to $3.50.

Sorry to hear about that bro I thought about how it would be more expensive for you guys to buy from the US. Hopefully the lowered exchange rate brings more US investment into Europe to help out your economy.

That's just how low the Euro is going. The LP was 9 euros with a 3.50 euro postage quote from React with Protest. Brings it to a total of about $12.50! The exchange rate right now is almost 1 Euro to 1 USD

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2015/03/13/this-is-why-the-euro-is-collapsing/ Going down in value of course. Apparently its going to be less than a US dollar by the summer. This pertains to us since it makes purchases from Euro distros easier. And in a strange way would make purchasing from Euro distros cheaper than buying from US distros that have European releases. Case in point, Deathwish had the Raein LP for around $18 PPD. But, if you go to the React With Protest (Euro) store you could get the same LP now for $12.50 PPD! That's more than a $5 savings! Of course you would still have to gamble on waiting for your LP to arrive, if it arrives at all, but hey that's the name of the game. Its interesting to see how much lower the Euro goes. Anyone else interested in getting some Euro releases?

dang, was about to place an order for Pleasant Living

Dang, my copy of Three Cheers is warped, the sound is noticeably warped on Helena. Anyone else get warped copies? Also, did anyone ever get a refund from Hot Topic after opening the vinyl?

Pre-orders for The Emptiness and the new album Confessions by Alesana is now up. http://www.merchbucket.com/product/AL-EMP-VYL.html ^The Emptiness http://www.merchbucket.com/product/AL-CON-VYL.html ^Confessions Both are set to ship on or before 04/21/15

thanks Travis! we already waited this long for the repress, what's a little longer for more?

nice to hear of a new Tallest Man on Earth album coming out!

There you go, I couldn't think of an explanation for why singles would still sell relatively well compared to LPs.

lol no problem!

This chart's interesting for a few reasons. It looks like when vinyl sales were going down in the 90s, vinyl singles outsold LPs by a lot. It looks like 2005-2006 is as low as vinyl sales went before it picked up around 2009-2010. Also in the current trend, vinyl singles sales are incredibly low compared to the sales of LPs. It'll be nice to see the trend of increasing vinyl sales in the future.

I agree, I mean side B literally only has about nine minutes of music. My guess is that this is probably going to be set at 45 rpm.

Hey everyone, There's new info on the Beneath Medicine Tree repress up on SRC. It'll be up for pre-order starting at 1:00 P.M EST (01/22/15) The price is set at $31.99 + 4.99 Shipping. The pressing info is as follows 180 Gram Coke Bottle Clear (LTD 500) 180 Gram Clear With Black Smoke (LTD 1,500) This repress by SRC is on 2xLP

Sweet, thanks for the heads up! I've been waiting for a new release and glad to see one this year!

Got my copy today and the album surprisingly holds up today. Either that or it brings back a lot of nostalgic memories of high school. The vinyl itself sounds amazing, the center label is unfortunately wrong. But, either way its an awesome release by Ross.
