Presumably, though it depends on how production and record plants will fair this year.  Hopefully less bottlenecking but I’m not optimistic.

But if this was a remark on Topshelf’s handling of the AGBPOL preorder, I suspect they’re probably in a better spot since they’re no longer dealing with stock in legal gridlock, in a warehouse off limits to them.  I think it’ll be fine.

Nah more on their recent preorders in general. Been a few recent ones I have been interested in that are 9-12 month preorders beside AGBPOL. Knifeplay and Elephant Gym being examples. 

Regardless, I am more excited that Parannoul is partnering/signed with Topshelf. Was championing that ever since their last album started to make waves.

If we're lucky. My Elephant Gym pre-order from March 2022 is supposed to ship this month. I have no idea but I'm not hopeful for less than 9 months.

Totally forgot about ordering Elephant Gym! Just checked their site and says expected ship date is 2/20/23. 

We thinking it’ll ship prior to Q1 2024? 

TSTNPOTD is fantastic, curious to see how this turns out. New Single is a bit of a change in direction, less fuzzy shoegaze: 

Up on Bandcamp for US as well: https://beholdtheelder.bandcamp.com/album/innate-passage

vinyl description notes NA version is “lave gray.”

$11.50 media mail shipping 

I actually asked about that the last time I ordered and they stated it was for “shipping + handling.” Really milking us for all we’re worth lol.

Haven’t listened to this band in ages, but is there a reason all copies are $45 before shipping?

SPR has gone up like 50%-60% over the last year or so. They used to be $25-$35 for 1xLPs, and $35-$45 for 2xLPs. They recently released a statement saying they switched pressing plants for 2023, as their old one had tripled in pressing costs, which would make sense as to why costs went up for 2022. 
 

idk why they are staying astronomically high though, especially since half of their releases sit in their shop for a month or more.

I wonder if these are going to be candy apple red as well?

Doubt it. Stated Deathwish Exclusives aren’t usually sold elsewhere. Armageddon’s will likely be either the EU white or an entirely different color.

The founder of TS posted this in his discord on 12/14. It seemed very reasonable so I'm not sure why he has that very aggressive FBomb sentence in there haha. 

 

"PSA: not a very exciting update but an update nonetheless! 

 

since the fallout with Awesome Merch (topshelfrecords.com/lemons), i do our mail order now (like, just me). and i have had a vacation to asia booked for months. i am on that vacation rn and omggggg i deserve it so completely fuck you wait a couple weeks for your order my life has been in shambles for months thanks!!! so no orders are shipping and customer support emails are really delayed as a result. i have shipped out every possible order i can before i left. if you have an order that says the label was printed but it hasnt shipped yet,,,,,, that is because the label was printed and it hasn’t shipped yet. i’ll do it when i get home. thanks for your patience and understanding while i take some time for myself. we’ll be back at it 100% soon. 🙏"

 

 

Not in the Discord, but saw the Twitter post that is lacking any of the passive aggressiveness displayed here. Funny to see the difference between the more publicly viewed post and this one.

Have always loved Topshelf and will continue to support them, but I really feel like if there were any orders to make sure were fulfilled completely, it would be the AGBPOL vinyl that we have had ordered for almost 18 months at this point. Yes, I know most of it was out of their control. Yes, I am coming off a bit spoiled and entitled here. Yes, is it the end of the world to wait another month or so? No, not really.

But to say I am not disappointed and rubbed the wrong way a little by the Discord post, especially after all of the updates over the past few months insisting they were coming in and shipping soon, and having to check in on my order regularly because there was never any public update that the splatter and black were delayed, would be a lie.

Anybody's order get stuck at pre-shipment/label created? Mine shows as last updated on 12/1, no movement since.

Ugh 6 days late. Missed it if anyone snagged an extra. I have a copy of dead poetic id trade for it?

lol fuck knew i should have grabbed even though i wasnt a fan.

Do not know what it is about No Sleep bands, but they seem to take forever to release material. Think they are in the waiting for vinyl game, among other things im sure. Gatherers signed to them in May 2020, and were slated to release their new album at the end of that year, and it just came out last month, two years later. Vinyl was pre-COVID shipping estimate though. September announcement, beginning of November street date shipping. 

BIN ITTCT - S/t!

Yes! Love that album!

Hoping they start to do represses as well.

There's something about the few bands from that era with the poppy post-hardcore sound that just hits. A Fire so Big and Blacktop Mourning's No Regret are two of my favorite in that style. 

Would love a repress of Dead Poetic's New Medicines. Was on their site forever and just figured i would get around to it before it sold out. 

Glad i waited. Ordered both the green and blue for only $10 more than the red alone would have been. 

Love this pressing spree that T&N/SS is on right now. Gives me hope that theyll press one of my favorites from their golden era, Search the City - A Fire so Big

Damn so three new projects. Honestly such a great outcome from a super shitty situation.

Squash the Beef Tour remembers.

Totally forgot about that one! Such a solid lineup even in 2022

Also saw a recent tweet from Keith saying that he has been working on material seriously with a new band. So we have that to look forward to as well as the rest of ETID’s new project. 
 

maybe we get a “Battle of the Brothers” tour?

I just got a shipping update yesterday. Only label created though. Really hope this gets sent prior to the holiday rush.

Recently bought my place and i just added extra onto my homeowner's based on the high end Discogs valuation on my collection. Insurance agent asked what for and there was no issue when i explained it was a hefty record collection. 

About $10-$15 over market, holiday music, AND doesnt ship until WELL AFTER the holidays. I was intrigued but that combination they can fuck off lol

I really need to prune like 50 records since I'm running out of space.

Damn and i thought i was running out of room on my 2x4. Thats cray. 

Is that Ikea too or something else? Want to upgrade but feel like going much higher gets to unsteady for my taste.

You a real one dude. For the first time in YEARS I think us VC peeps got the jump on a release before everyone else.

Pricey but ezpeasy in and out

Yooooooo ISSWS is huge. Grew out of Emery for the most part but that album is still SOLID.
