Newsboys Step Up To The Microphone on vinyl:

interesting to see this one repressed, feel like it wasn't one of their more well-received albums. hopefully the buyer response is good though and we can see Going Public get a pressing too!

looks like these might be getting another repress, Merchbar has UPCs for a release through The Orchard

pressing a widely yearned-for album and then only selling it at a few Vegas shows is a new one for me, you'd think bands would wanna make the money instead of letting it all go to a few flippers but what do i know, maybe musicians are all already very rich

i waited on the EPs hoping to get a single package like this, very excited!

Also glad they left with basically everything pressed on vinyl.

wish the reissue of Violent Waves was a little less limited, still need that one personally, but the reissue of the first two LPs the other day suggests they might keep re-pressing things even during this hiatus.

legendary band, the door will always be open for their return fanbase-wise ❤️

hearing it sold out in like 1-2 minutes, sounds like it's time for a repress!

Pop Up has apparently been sitting on ~150 copies of their original vinyl run and Friend Club Records (NY) just got ahold of them and is making them available today at noon EST.

That's a great deal for what this is selling for on Discogs. Maybe one day this will get repressed, one can dream.   

well i might not have a repress for you but i do have this, dropping at noon: https://www.friendclubrecords.com/products/732832-further-seems-forever-hide-nothing-12

T&N emailed confirming leftovers would go up 10AM pst Wednesday now UOV is seemingly changing that by extending the time FF attendees have to buy with an obi. Unless each one will have a separate leftover sale time?  

ah ok yeah i misread, 10am vs pm oops. that said, it's possible leftovers ≠ un-claimed obis and we see two separate sale offerings. or maybe T&N pushes things back a day for this, figure UOV will handle it.

Wait? Does this announcement pre-empt the posting of leftovers on Wednesday previously announced then? Seems like they are going out of the way not to post them for sale online if that’s the case which is garbage.

would seem to be the timeline is 5pm PST cutoff for FF obi-holders to pay for their "claimed" copies, and any unclaimed obis + leftover inventory goes up 10pm PST that same day. unless you're referring to a different announcement, not entirely sure of the antecedent here

this is even funnier than when they gave edgy interviews about not being religious anymore, as if anyone had mistaken them for bible thumpers in at least 15 years

Okay, so i went back to LLO the other day and it finally clicked haha.  I like it. 

one song is ABSOLUTELY the same as a Caspian song though...  it's on LP1 and it sounds just like Epochs in Dmajor.  I found that rather funny. 

I assume LLO came before Tertia?

yeah by a good decade. not familiar with the Caspian song, need to check this out

I’ll be at FF thankfully, so I am happy to help people out. I am going to try to buy Embodyment and Blindside for myself, but I am not interested in the other two. I’m happy to try to pick up the Obi strips though and pass them on. Maybe I’ll just do a random drawing for whoever is interested? Any other ideas so that I can give everyone a fair chance?

would love both of the other two (Life in Your Way in particular) if you're able to land them! will throw my name in if you go the drawing route too i reckon

Can someone explain to me what's the point of going to all the trouble to press these records and make a nice package and inserts and whatnot, only sell them exclusively physically in one location once ever? This is taking the rarity aspect of vinyl way too far.

between Unoriginal making their Furnace Fest entirely exclusive pressings instead of just exclusive variants and today's Underoath NFT/vinyl monstrosity, it seems like they're really leaning into the scarcity/hype/bespoke aspect of vinyl releases. i know it's not entirely their fault with how stingy Capitol is with licensing, but it's kind of a bummer that this is the way they've pivoted...

been thinking this for a while and this has me feeling it even more so: maybe vinyl isn't a bubble that bursts but a hobby that just morphs into something very expensive and frustrating at the point of sale lol.

if anyone can help with the Life in Your Way pressing hit me up, would be very grateful!

songs are solid but the vocal production is butt. generic lazy pitch tightening killing one of the more charismatic voices in emo, and not for the first time 😕

Not a record but found these display boxes at target

oh sick, how many can they hold/would you put in them? and do you have a product name for them? might see if i can ship one to me.

red out of stock on RFC USA, but i guess we'll see that one pop up at indie shops? regardless, went with the pinwheel (also OOS now) and paired it with the new Horse Jumper of Love (my 2022 AOTY), love it when the stars align to save a lil bit of shipping haha

super super in for this!

Yeah…vocals are so weird here. It doesn’t even sound like Ben to me. Guitar work is great though. Probably waiting to order for this one unfortunately

chorus feels about right but there's some very shoddy/obvious pitchtuning  on the verses that just kinda mutes the timbre of his voice, which imo was one of the band's selling points. reminds me of when Further Seems Forever did Penny Black and Chris' voice was kind of unrecognizable due to production choices

Out 9/23, a couple singles are floating around
Standard black and Domino exclusive blue, also tapes again after none were offered for House of Sugar.

this is impossible to find online, anyone seeing these pop up in US stores? would love to get my hands on one...

replying to myself here in case it helps anyone else looking. while Google results have been very thin, these seem to be popping up on Discogs from US record shops. so i'm guessing these are trickling into US stores now. good place to check if you've been looking for one for cheaper than say a HHV import. got mine from a shop in KS via Discogs for $35 shipped!

Instant order. Fingers crossed that "Good Morning, Fire Eater" makes the tracklist.

they're tracking it rn on instagram live!

any indication that the deluxe has more tracks than the standard? i'm assuming it's just cut at a different speed....
