Wow, the white is sold out at most places now in UK. only places still listing as not sold out Bleep Phonica Piccadilly Crash Diverse - can't promise you'll actually get a copy. Heard through a friend who has contacts at XL that it's a pressing of 3000 - 1k for UK, 1k for UK, 1k for EU. this kind of makes sense with how fast they have sold out - and also how many Uk stores will get this - 20 stores ? bigger stores getting 100 copies (Rough Trade, Piccadilly etc) , mid sized stores getting 50 copies (Banquet, Norman etc) and some smaller ones getting 10-20 etc. I can't verify for any of this but ???

Monorail in UK has a limited to 100 copies with signed exclusive print edition. http://www.monorailmusic.com/album/89a702f2-f5ba-11e5-ba32-22000bb68fa6/Painting_Of_A_Panic_Attack_-_Exclusive_w_Signed_Screenprint..html?mc_cid=8b7ccc7e3e&mc_eid=940fc14400 BB

Yes. I've played this LP 3 times now and I just have to say it is most excellent. I'm a big fan fan of Nils frahm anyway, but this is without a doubt my favourite of all his releases. The duo set up with F.S Blumm on guitar just works so well. my favourite LP of the year so far...without a doubt. I can't see anything toppling it tbh. The whole mastering,packaging and recording is splendid and the pressing is of the highest quality. it sound like the two are in your front room. Nice Thorens by the way. is that an RB300 arm on it ? BB

Indeed there are. might have to buy an 'archive copy' ; ) which raises the Question - is this really a 100 copy only press ?

there is something about this sound that gets better the more I listen to it , and i have to admit it's not normally the thing I'd go for. Now have the 12" at home and after 2 spins it's getting inside me. looking forward to the album.. there are some more copies of the 12" available in a couple of German online shops. It's sold out in UK everywhere now and as only 100 were made it's interesting that any made it out of the UK.

No Brainer on the x100 limited 12". also gotta hunch the LP is going to be on many end of year best of lists, which kinda makes the Rough trade exclusive an essential purchase too... excited for this one.

is the cartridge new on your project ? as the stylus tip wears out over time it digs deeper into the records grooves and thus digs out any muck and dust that may be hiding there. a new stylus tip is basically a V shape - over time and lots of vinyl playing the sides of this V wear out making the angle of the V more acute. one of the first tell tales of a worn stylus before the sound goes off is the ball of dust half way through a side. as your previous stylus on the ion was basically a heap of shit its been churning up your records and depositing muck at the bottom of the grooves.

Great. So if you could post a list of your entire record collection with release dates and matrix numbers, I'll have a skim through and swap any valuable first presses you may have for recent reissues okay? Cool. PM me

One thing that strikes me as odd is that they put up a Xmas single to order a day before Xmas. Meaning everyone gets their order on like Jan 4-7th...right when Xmas is in full swing. I can't wait to play this in a few weeks to get the family in the festive spirit for Xmas 2016

https://www.normanrecords.com/records/157036-dawn-upshaw-london-sinfonietta-david-grecki-symphony-no-3- Praise the Lord that this is finally getting a vinyl issue! I have the Muza vinyl issue from Poland 1980 but it's a different recording completely. Plus it's only a VG+ , if mint copies come up they go for big bucks.

Yes this will get a 2nd press for sure. But it might take 6 months or so like the brilliant Jon Brooks Walberswick LP ( my favourite LP of the year so far). And will probably have a different sleeve....

Already gone at Norman records. available at Mondo in USA. i'd imagine they'll shift quickly so wouldn't hang around if you want one. also available direct from the label (cheaper)

Anyone out there got the PY15 7" release they'd be willing to trade? Gutted I missed the drop and they sold out in like 30 mins. I have a spare Mass defect 7" PY14 I'd be happy to trade BB

My copy arrived this morning from Norman and it's the coloured press . Though I was kind of hoping for black tbh

either buy the OG pressing (which on 70's Miles isn't expensive) or hold out for the Mofi releases (which for the record are superb and well worth the extra investment).

they weren't sealed in the first place. if you want them sealed take them to a packaging company that does sealing and ask them to seal them for you. Actually you could ask them to seal it twice for you, a seal over the seal as it were...twice the protection. this way you get the fetishistic pleasure of the breaking the seal whilst maintaining it's sealed status... Win Win

received this a few days back. just gotten round to listening to it...Awesome !!! great package all round. up there as one of my fav vinyl releases this year without a shadow of doubt.. BB

anyone with a spare, please hook me up... B

It's all relative to what you have heard. If the best you have heard is a technics 1200/1210 then that is the best you have heard. however at that price range a second Rega Planar 3 properly set up with a decent cartridge (DV10x5) will blow the Technics out of the water. stick the RB300 arm on a technics 1200 and it improves it (the sound) two fold as the Technics arm is pretty basic and functional for heavy DJ usage. I have a friend of mine who for years has sworn by the Technics and always singing it's praises (he's an ex DJ). He came round one evening for a beer and I played him a Brian Eno LP on my Linn LP12 (Ittok arm, Dynavector DV20, Lingo 2 PSU, Heed quasar phono stage) - I had to scrape his jaw off the floor. next day he pings me an email asking for advice on buying an LP12 as he could no longer listen to his Technics deck knowing how good vinyl can really sound.

Whats the betting Luna have this for sale on discogs in a few weeks at 'flipper' prices ?

122 ex Machina splatter (edition 500) left as of right now. can see this being gone by the end of the weekend.
