feels like the way to go would be to do deluxe + standalone single album version LP for sought after, OOP cult classics like FSF or Southern Weather when it comes time for a (re)press. you've already got the plates and it's easy to order a few hundred extra jackets for a standard edition while you're making a boxset. though i'm sure it requires some tradeoffs (i.e. i'd be willing to bet having a standard edition available depresses deluxe sales in a way that UOV doesn't feel good about), why not attempt to do collector-minded editions (higher quality components, expensive deluxe editions) and fan-friendly ones at the same time?

how does an artist this devastatingly mid (and apparently sex pest-y?) have a thread with nearly 2k posts sheesh

1. there's a new press of this album and pleasure suck (via tiny engines):
https://spiritofthebeehive.bandcamp.com/album/hypnic-jerks
2. tiny engines may be quietly (or slowly) coming back? they have a bunch of represses for pre-order thru bandcamp and there's a new rebranded logo
definitely wary about giving TE money unless the band indicates they're on board and getting paid from these...
(fwiw awakebutstillinbed is plugging their reissue so hopefully it's all cool, would think the label would wanna get out ahead of speculation given how things went down a few years back...) -

Cleaned and played it, has a distorted bad sound on several tracks on both sides compared to my CD. Anyone else have sound quality issues?
what variant? my gold copy plays more or less perfectly
-
this is a neat sound, glad to see some bands are rediscovering the Jeniferever style of slowcore / post-rock. the programmed drum kit is always a dealbreaker for me but maybe it won't be all over the album, gonna stay tuned.

both Benton Falls LPs are dropping on Wednesday. unfortunately with reimagined art, which imo has been pretty rough throughout the Deep Elm series. half the nostalgia of these old records, as a physical object at least, is the OG art for me...

Anyone else showing no movement on their tracking?
My copy of LIYW has been "Accepted" since the 6th.
mine was the same way, showed up randomly with no update to tracking. so i'd expect it anytime, probably.
-
got my LIYW today, sounds immaculate. jacket has a little surprise, a pop-up mountain range adapted from the CD art that opens as you open the gatefold. it's a bit too thick for the inside of the gatefold though which has me concerned about warp to jacket and/or disc over time, might have to get clever about how i store this one...

Happy it happened. I definitely didn’t sell as much this year bc I didn’t want to deal with this tax shit. So that’s annoying. But I’m assuming since they balked at the 600, the threshold will be higher so in the new year I should sell again. Not getting rich here Uncle Sam, just trying to keep my hobby funded!
mood! a small xmas gift at least but if the threshold isn't negotiated upwards that will be a terrible letdown haha.

i have been badgering UO for this for years
hopefully that means they've been listening and we'll see Secret & Whisper LPs soon

It is supposed to be an emergency floatation inner tube
right but neither that bright red nor the motif of the inner tube is found in the original art is more my point. minor gripe of course, killing time till these go live

Might spring for ISSWS. I don’t love either variant but it’d be nice to have.
yeah, like, in particular, what is up with the random red on that variant?? great album though, will be grabbing a copy.

I went to Walmart this morning and it is true--all vinyl is $15. I picked up a few things. My overall observation though is what horrible condition most of the records are in. Many have the shrink ripped, corners bent, etc. Some of the albums no longer even had the shrink, and I even saw a couple where the inner sleeve had been removed. This seems like a great strategy for Walmart to purge their entire inventory so that they can figure out how to handle records properly, or just stop selling them altogether. Also, at checkout I had to decline a $2 protection plan for each record I bought, ha!
i had that same protection plan offered to me when buying those $1 hot wheels cars at target last week, incredible new grift for these big box stores

Hope for a real repress down the road. I do believe many are tired of Revolver's gimmick considering how many on their website have not sold out.
yeah im sure it'll happen at some point, definitely not dropping $50 on this lol
-
this one's been OOP for longer than all the other albums... NFT bullshit aside, they're leaving serious $$ on the table not dropping 5k copies of this rn
-
well that instinct was correct, you can now order new color variants of their two LPs, and associated demos are also newly available as limited cassettes

yeah i noticed that, very weird. hoodie can still be found but main listing with vinyl/coffee mug/tapes has indeed disappeared. tapes at least did not seem close to selling out and they def had social media posts up....
