12$ for shipping is not so bad at all honestly. Sige might have the most reasonable shipping prices. Came to 30€ shipped which is pretty much what any double LP would cost in retail over here. I had to grab the grey because it just looked so much better. Although I also got the clear through Thrill Jockey UK I'll be selling that then. Spreading that Sumac love around these parts.

Yeah man, thanks for looking out. I actually found out that Kozmik Artifactz has copies as well so I'll be ordering from them instead.

Yeah, for anyone EU side that was an absolute steal. Overseas shipping frustrates me because it usually necessitates paying double for a single record.

Damn. Already sold out of the UK version. Bummed I slept on this. Should've bought it there and then.

Yeah, his first reponsse was that couldn't be held responsible for postal damage which echoes that very disclaimer that is on his site. There must've been a sctratch prior to shipping though as the package was in good shape and I don't see any possible way for it to scratch other than it either eing straight out of the factory or during packing, both of which are highly unlikely possibilites. I'm just highly bummed because I paid as much for the shipping as I did for the record. One of the only few stoner abums I've bought lately and one of my favourites at that. *Scratch that. Got word that he is sending me a new one. Feeling very thankful for that.

Anyone have experience with receiving replacements for damaged items from STB? From what I've gathered, Steve does not seem too keen on that idea and unfortunately the Sinister Haze landed into my lap with a bad scratch on the first track on side B.

Some Brume left in here for anyone who missed out http://www.heavyripples.bigcartel.com/product/brume-donkey-lp-devil-donkey-edition-red-black-vinyl

Ahh great to know these are finally in existence.

Where you get these infos from?

Got mine today as well. Very excited to listen.

Ugh. I kind of hate myself for even considering paying for it. That foil sure would look sweet next to the foil of that overpriced Die Hard of Obelisk I still paid for. Feeling like collector scum at the moment. I like how you guys have passed easy. Makes me feel I have the power in me to do so as well.

Any avid Dylan Carlson followers here His latest Kickstarted solo album sold out over on Sargent House US but there are still copies available through the EU store. Best to snag now rather than pay +70$ on Discogs later. http://sargenthouse.awesomedistro.com/products/570098-drcarlsonalbion-coleman-grey-falling-with-a-thousand-stars-lp-pre-order

Yes. Best to snag now or forever hold your peace. Allegedly /300 and the cheapest are going for +70$ on Discogs.

Good mention. Need to revisit Forestelevision myself. I remember being intrigued but kind of taken aback as well by how intensely prog it was. I will get that on vinyl one sunny day. They're supposed to have a new album coming out soon as well. Stoked about this. Too bad Relapse has the most expensive shipping around. I wanted to get the Cough reissues but it would've cost +50$ to ship them, which is more than the records themselves. Pentagram would be more of the same although First Daze Here is easily my favourite from Pentagram.

I'm still confused as to why STB releases don't come with dl code. There's probably a fee to have Bandcamp downloads that Steve is trying to avoid but it seems there'd surely be a way to have digital downloads without going through BC. A bit bummed that the Sinister Haze record wasn't provided with one.. It would just make life slightly easier. It hasn't leaked as far as I'm aware either so would have to do with the 128kbs bandcamp rip until the record arrives.

Damn, really? Previously they were saying it's a summer release. Guess I'll have to wear out their previous albums even more.

ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN New Segall and Mootheart project (+Chris Shaw from Ex-Cult) http://pitchfork.com/news/65020-ty-segalls-band-gggs-announce-debut-album-share-glendale-junkyard-listen/

Wait, what's that Church Of Satan variant? Stoked for the Satan's Fire 12" for sure. Also, with all this talk of Elephant Tree, I have to mention how newest blew me away. Just received and gave it my first listen. So grungy and so much riffage. Definitely took me by surprise of how good it is. Theia was good but not entirely exceptional. They're definitely onto something with the new one. New Slomatics up for pre-order as well. Bummer about the 4-month wait though, was expecting it to be released middle of Summer at least. Love me some Slomatics. This new one will be mind-blowing, no doubt. http://blackbowrecords.bigcartel.com/product/slomatics-future-echo-returns-12-vinyl

If any of you missed out on the smokey clear and is dying to get one, here's your chance. Not many left probably so act with the quickness http://realtomatoketchup.bigcartel.com/product/mamiffer-the-world-unseen-2xlp Lots of other funky stuff available as well

Great to know. I gave Guilted a listen and really dug it immediately. Went in for a blind buy with Clinging. Surely more than worth it at that price. After getting that latestNadja/Vampillia record from Throne a while back, it seems I'm decided on a Nadja collection now. Managed to snag Flipper from them as well along with Sunwolf's Beholden... Amazing album by they way, if any of you haven't listened. It's a must have. Collector's edition still available, with an insanely fair price if I may add. US shipping will increase that by a margin of course. http://thronerecords.bigcartel.com/product/sunwlf-beholden-to-nothing-vinyl-2xlp-gatefold-sleeve-collector-s-edition

Just got hold of my glow in the dark 'Harvester of Bongloads' shirt. That thing is sweet as !

Almost all Nadja releases discounted up on Kozmik Artifact http://shop.bilocationrecords.com/navi.php?suchausdruck=nadja&JTLSHOP=186cbe2931bae6340978da40c5981aa6 Still trying to figure out what I think of Guilted By The Sun and Clinging To The Edge Of The Sky

Looking like a standard for myself if I can manage the funds. They're sounding sweet as. Can't go wrong with a group involving members of Cough and Naam. Also, some more good news for you guys

Indeed. I was swayed to accept their payment as money flow is tight right now. I was also influenced by the fact that it wasn't straight from the band and merchtable was the middle man here. It would've been easier to decline if it was straight from EITS. This way the band will still have one extra record sale under their belt but won't carry any losses. (if I'm assuming correctly). To me it seems Merctable have taken the easy way out with so eagerly having sent the money back, in case I might start too much of a protest for the shipping mistake. Let's say I moved but requested the package to be sent to an updated address and they still sent it wrong, that would be fair policy. But as of now I'm thinking they didn't understand that the address they sent it to is totally valid, just not where I myself reside. So I'm still kind of iffy about taking it. I can still paypal them for the vinyl of course. Yeah that isn't the case here and they definitely won't. The record that I was sent is at my aunt's place and I won't be getting it in my hands before she happens to take a trip over the ocean (which might not be anytime soon). They didn't send me a replacament, just refunded the whole payment. Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeliberatiooooooon

Moral dilemma time! So, lets say you have ordered a copy of this record and paid for it to be shipped to a US address but then decided to pay an extra amount for international shipping to receive it in a timely fashion and spin it on your turntable over the ocean. Regardless of the recalculation, the record is still shipped to the initial US address. You receive an apology for the error and a full refund, including money for the record itself (that is, not only for the shipping that was erroneous). The record is technically still in your possession, as it is situated at a relative's place but you won't be able to listen to it for a good while. I kind of know what one would have to do but not quite what one would want to do in this situation...
