Are your Smoke or Fire LPs colored? I need a clear blue Sinking Ship and I'll pay good money for it. I'm tired of looking for one. I also have some nice trade bait depending on what you're looking for

Correct, I bought it when it first came out and that was very close to one year ago But other than that, I don't think there's anything special about it besides the non LP b-side. A fairly common UK single

Utter nonsense

A couple quick searches came up with these. One limited to 300 copies (US promo), the other to 600 (UK?) http://cgi.ebay.com/WHITE-STRIPES-Get-Behind-Me-Satan-RARE-V2-US-vinyl-2-LP_W0QQitemZ180131698000QQihZ008QQcategoryZ1592QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD2VQQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/WHITE-STRIPES-GET-BEHIND-ME-SATAN_W0QQitemZ190128150059QQihZ009QQcategoryZ45541QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD2VQQcmdZViewItem

Nothing yet, in ohio..... Got mine yesterday (Boardman) so you can't be far behind...

Nirvana - Love Buzz 7" Guy had two of them and wanted $30 each. They weren't bootlegs because it was just as Nirvana broke out of the underground. I had it in my hands! And it's not like I passed on buying it, I only had $20 to my name because I was only about 15 years old. So I bought Pearl Jam's "Jeremy" 12" pic disc instead although the Nirvana record was my first choice. Thanks for making me re-live that. :'( :'( :'( :'(

They released both. The orange copies have dried up to an extent. I don't think $40 is unheard of but I could be wrong

All the info so far can be found here. http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=186898391&blogID=273508196&Mytoken=F90D1553-9C28-419F-8A982FAC7E93244139579973 Fantastic, thanks!

Skinned Knees got canned - I had a preorder for it and the place kept saying it got pushed back so I emailed the label and they said it got killed due to scaling back their operation. Ditto. Got an official e-mail about it eventually. I've got a red Lifetime LP if you're interested

I guess that would explain it since I don't buy much from them

None of my Deathwish orders ever had a stenciled mailer. Bummer.

Oh yeah? What label?

The first Bronx LP was on Tarantulas Records. That label is/was so cool. They would spray paint the record mailers with a tarantula stencil. Definitely the only record mailer I ever kept

Hey. This is my first post as a logged in user but I was the dude who won the 7". I loved the raffle. Lifeline presses records at a loss and I had no problem paying for a raffle for the limited to 50 MLIW 7". It brought some extra scratch to the label and in the end I won a rad and super rad record. That being said I think board members should get first crack. Or how about newest board members getting first crack.... I don't know why I'm so curious about this, but I am. Did Lifeline just include the single with your order and that's how you knew you won? Or did they contact you separately and/or ship it separately?

$300-ish

I spend between $300 - $500 a month on vinyl and I've done so for years. I'm trying to cut back now that I have a mortgage. Easier said than done.

First and foremost, keep in mind that they may end up on eBay anyways. So if you feel like you should be making money off of them if anybody should, then just sell them and put it towards future releases. If you don't care, I say include them with the pre-orders but completely at random. Lifeline Records did a neat thing where they allowed anyone who pre-ordered a certain LP to buy a raffle ticket for $1 for a shot at winning a limited edition pressing of a 7". That way only the people that care to win are entered, they can buy as many tickets as they want, and you can potentially make a nice chunk of change yourself. I'm guessing you'd hit three figures easily. Although pre-orders already started so I suppose people could feel slighted if they find out about it until later. I really like what Lifeline did, I think it's fair for everyone. And I'm EXTREMELY jealous of whoever it was on this board that won a copy of that 7". Congrats!

The regular blue is rather dark and translucent. The baby blue is sky blue and opaque (like Jawbreaker's Dear You or Nirvana's Incesticide) Very easy to tell the difference

It does indeed come with a code for a download of the tracks, not to mention it includes 5 bonus tracks. I think it's safe to say it comes with all copies of the vinyl, so get on it. You are missing out like you wouldn't believe. The new LP has a little more variation in styles from song to song than the last two albums. But you need to own it as well as Shake the Sheets, Hearts of Oak, and The Tyranny of Distance. And seeing him live is ten times better. The motherfucking man, indeed!!

Well worth it, thanks!

I offered to fund some releases in the '90s to no avail. The bands and their labels just weren't interested. Both the internet and the vinyl market were very different places back then, so I'm sure I wasn't taken very seriously. At least now there's a Virgil who has got the experience and infrastructure to make it a slight possibility.

Virgil has made the comment that the number of titles he'd like to put on vinyl far exceed the number he can afford to do. He's also mentioned that he's kicked around the idea of getting investors in some capacity. So I don't this guy is trying to push anything on him. I think it's a great idea in theory, especially rewarding the pre-order/investors with their own color of the record. But I think it's very unlikely that there'd be enough pre-order interest to make it financially viable.

I call them 45s.

Big talk from someone who uses "their" instead of "they're" (Just busting your chops, couldn't pass it up )

PM me with your e-mail and I'll send it to you
