No This Is Patrick

I think Dead Format was better at showing off collections. Don't remember too much of the sales/trades/community, but I don't recall any problems. Discogs is good as a database (pressing info, variants, current "value") and the marketplace can be handy. But the collection layout is messy and cluttered... Navigating releases can be a little tedious... Adding things not in the database is a pain...

New Battletoads press, disc 1 has music from the original, disc 2 the recent reboot(?) 500 random orders get a cassette as well. https://www.iam8bit.com/collections/rare/products/battletoads-smash-hits-2xlp

Reinstalled Control, playing through The Foundation expansion. Trying to finish before the AWE expansion. I. Need. More. Alan Wake!

These recent Tooth & Nail/Solid State reissues are licensed, so that's probably a factor in the price. Unoriginal Vinyl has done some pretty nice work with them though.

Bought an unknown sealed copy of The Devil Wears Prada - Zombie EP on eBay (was a second chance offer since the first buyer flaked or something) for $25. Opened when I got it and it's the rare grey marble variant. I was able to get it signed by 5/6 of the original/recording members a year or so later. Worth at least double when I first bought it, could probably get $200+ for it on a good day now.

Last I posted here was 2015... but it looks like I acquired the whale I posted, hahaha. I can't remember when I acquired this one but it's pretty rare and I'm happy to own: Black Iris - "Welcome to Bright Falls" I've only seen 6 in existence. https://www.discogs.com/Black-Iris-Welcome-To-Bright-Falls/release/7151118 I guess now... I'm hunting for the test presses for: Artifex Pereo - Time In Place Artifex Pereo - Passengers

Caved and got a boxset... I can hopefully sell my Rebirth tour variant to offset the cost a bit. Plus I'll have that other copy of LITSOS now! I'm really interested in that full tour comment. Playing all three of these in full? That would've been sick!

I dig the box set. I have that "Rebirth tour vinyl" already, but another copy of LITSOS would be nice. I have those 10" sawblades for that one.

I wonder why they haven't pressed the scores for their last few DCEU movies. Aquaman, for example, was very unique (imo) and the CD version sold very well I believe.

Minecraft Volume Beta Color or black vinyl, optional lenticular jacket, will be a double LP: https://c418.bandcamp.com/album/minecraft-volume-beta https://ghostly.com/products/minecraft-volume-beta

I know! Hopefully this will lead to a press for Alan Wake as well. Petri Alanko's scores for their last few games have been really good. I'd highly recommend it. Any of Remedy's games are great(imo)! Disclosure, I have not played the Max Payne ones though.

Hahaha! Anyone remember this kid friendly version of Doom? https://limitedrungames.com/collections/soundtracks/products/chex-quest-soundtrack-vinyl

That's pretty cool and unexpected... Now for the KOTOR soundtracks! II is one of my favorite scores.

I liked the green (at least mock up wise) but missed the announcement by about an hour. Crazy how fast these are going. The B-sides are what intrigue me with this press.

First time something's caught my eye with these... voted for Killswitch Engage!

One thing I have noticed is that their store is set up really weird. You can actually find more records (NJ, TDWP) under the "bundles" tab, probably because those include digital downloads. I don't know, I think it's weird also. Or just look at "home/everything".

25% everything in stock. Might be a good time to pick up some of the recent releases if you've been on the fence: https://solidstate.merchnow.com/ https://toothandnailrecords.merchnow.com/ Quick link to just the vinyl section: https://solidstate.merchnow.com/products/bycode?code=LP https://toothandnailrecords.merchnow.com/products/bycode?code=LP

Hopefully we'll get some (re)presses of their other records, I know he's mentioned it a few times already.

Looks like they will all be gatefold 2xLP's... and there will be a few more variants, they should become available on release date: Grey Pearl Electric Sapphire (US Indie Store exclusive) Silver+Gold (FYE exclusive)

https://us.store.augustburnsred.com/collections/home-page-products/products/guardians-vinyl-neon-yellow - #500 https://us.store.augustburnsred.com/collections/home-page-products/products/guardian-vinyl-coke-bottle-green - #1000 https://us.store.augustburnsred.com/collections/home-page-products/products/guardians-vinyl-tan-marble - #1500 https://us.store.augustburnsred.com/collections/home-page-products/products/guardians-bundle-11 - all variants and a test press of #50

This wasn't originally a Solid State release, but looks like it was reissued under them in 1999. Not sure who's in charge of this one. I don't think I've (truly) listened to pre-Bruce LS. Definitely on board for represses and firsts of their catalog though!

Yeah! Who buys records for the music anyways!?

Looks like there will be a Black Friday sale after all, 30% select vinyl from the 29th to 1st. Don't think they'll do any of the newly "licensed" stuff though. (Like mentioned above, they'll probably try/need to get as much as they can from these). If they do, I'm going to be pretty upset... I'm already a bit annoyed buying Beloved, Chariot, and HTD individually. Why didn't they just release all these at the same time and save me a bit on shipping?
