Looks like after 14 years A389 is officially winding down. Dom had been limiting the releases/represses he did as of the last few years but looks like he is finally hanging it up.
He was always an awesome person to work with and I have spent far too much money supporting this label but they totally deserve it.
Kind of wish he did a final “sale” but makes total sense to just send stuff to distros and call it a day.

And raised there prices on just about everything by $1-$4
Pretty much... i know they obviously buy in smaller amounts but i bought the newest electric wizard at a local shop for 10 bucks cheaper than they are selling it for. I “get” when the imports are somewhat more expensive but when you can go to riding easy records directly and get it for 40% less they will never sell it...

I bought like four Native Sound mystery boxes and the owner sent me new stuff every time and a lot of it was newer and great releases. Lauren Records and Topshelf Records did a mystery box too and I got great stuff from them. All three labels threw in free tapes and test presses and other cool stuff.
This one sucked honestly. And so did the last 7" and 12" bundles that No Idea did. You can tell very clearly when a label is just dumping 3-5 specific titles on everyone and when they're doing a crazy Gideon level bundle with valuable items.
Relapse, deathwish and hydrahead are always a no brainer. No idea used to be awesome but really fell off, same with K records. I totally understand trying to clear out some old stock (starkweather records) but throwing in some decent stuff will have people coming back for more...

Final verdict on these, for me: 1 keeper, 4 to the sell pile.
Keeper:
Behind Closed Doors-this is, as the kids are saying these days, a banger.
Sell Pile:
Mono-would be a keeper but I already own it.
Bonnie Stillwatter-an interesting listen but not something I would seek out on LP considering dwindling rack space
Parlour-a very good listen and their discography will make it to my Amazon digital music queue, but again, not something I would seek out on LP considering dwindling rack space
Howard Hello-a very interesting album instrumentally, but the vocoder vocal gimmick just completely kills it
All in all, no regrets. I'll easily be able to clear the roughly $6 per LP for the sell pile in trade-in value at my local shop.
Would you be willing to sell the mono record or trade for the one I have if you need it?

Both the vile gash and cadaver dog records are bangers!

My 5:
Howard Hello - Election Year
Parlour S/T
Maserati - Pyramid of the Moon
The Books - Music for a French Elevator & Other Oddities
Steve Moore/Majeure - Brainstorm
Plus posters from Mono, Mogwai, and Inventions.
Pretty stoked about it. I haven't listened to any of these--they must have read my order note <3
That is significantly better than what everyone else got... those steve moore/majeure and maserati records are killer.

Are there certain types of blu rays you are looking for? Have a bunch i am getting rid of.

Sale at Magnetic Eye. I don't need anything, but if you haven't picked up the new Summoner, now is the time.
Use sale code “love2018” at checkout for 25% OFF all purchases from MagneticEyeRecords.Bandcamp.Comtoday until 2/23/2018.
I feel like every time I look at their site the cost goes up on records. Where are the good ole days of them having under 20 dollar records...

Hmmm. My expectations are low.
That behind closed doors is a 3 song 12 one sided EP. easily could have been a 7” as its like 15 minutes long. The mono is cool but already have it. The bonnie stillwatter is the one im most interested in and havent heard of the other two.
I was not expecting like 5 grails records but I opened it up and felt underwhelmed.
-
got mine today. biggest complaint is they did not package these well at all. threw a small bit of bubble wrap on top. The mono has a nice big corner bend because of this.
Parlour: S/T
Mono: Walking Cloud & Big Red Sky...
Howard Hello- Election Year
Behind Closed Doors: Exit Lines
Bonnie Stillwatter: The Devil Is People
-
Yeah that new song is cool. I have yet to see the body perform any of there more “mellow stuff” live. Do they typically do these type of songs or stick to the loud stuff.
-
i can only assume this tour will come nowhere near where I live and will just never see Electric Wizard...
also Weedeater announced a "God Luck and Good Speed" tour which is going to rule. Seeing Primitive Man and then Weedeater the following night is going to be a one two punch of ear loss.

They're farther than Yellow Eyes, subscribers got a white label version late last year. I want to say I only have 3-4 releases left to go, I don't remember, haha. Probably 1 package worth.
I took a look at the original subscriber email.
looks like there are:
two yellow eye reissues
mutilation rites
pyrolatrous
Eighenlight
Forn LP (which i think is no longer apart of the package i think but was on the list originally)

Eh, I'm not too worried about it. I've had nothing, but good experiences with them thus far and I can't imagine they'll be dodgy at any point going forward. Might not show up on time, but it happens and they've been fairly on top of communicating any issues.
Good point. They have been top notch. I just saw a FB post from them saying a yellow eyes and another record arrived at their shop and went to look at the subscription and was like holy shit those were due in the fall. I just had not been paying attention to where they were in fullfillment of the subscription.
It also looks like that forn record became tbd which is a bummer.

They would be smart to do this. People would pay an extra upcharge to guarentee the rarest pressings. I know i would.

Just realized there are like 6 releases from the gilead media 2017 subscription that have yet to be fulfilled...
why o why did i sign up for 2018 with that track record...

Thank you. Thought I was SOL on this.
You got it. I grabbed the s/t repress from them a few years ago so figured they would have this one as well.
