I kinda regret selling my OG, missed out on the repress, this set looks really nice. So I guess this works in my favor a bit.

The one that is live is "Highway back to Texas" , so I wonder if there is a retail variant as depicted in the email ?

It's the same release... mockups almost always look different than the actual product.

Well I survived. Felt like a good mix of warped tour and riot fest. My throat has been killing me all week though. 

I originally signed up for the wait list for that day... But I guess it wasn't meant to be. Was so jealous  to see Death Cab For Cutie and Underoath were added because Avril dropped too!

All their albums are solid, pretty stoked on all the guest features on this one!

Snagged everything! 😁 Let's just see if the orders stick.

I'll be attending Saturday. IF there are any copies I'll see what I can do.

Set times aren't too bad for me! I'll probably be at the "Stripe" stage most of the day. A little torn between Paramore and Thursday though... maybe I can catch half of each set.

Managed to get a ticket for the "When We Were Young" festival this weekend. Just waiting on band times and such to try and plan out!

Same variant for me. Hopefully this leads to some other albums from this Solid State era getting pressed. The Ongoing Concept's "Saloon" is turning 10 next year heh heh heh...

Been waiting for this for a while!

Is there anyone here who has already commented on this topic that is interested in an Embodyment OBI-strip? I have one extra, you can have it.

If it's still available, I'm interested!

Welp... I'm probably going to have to resort to eBay and Discogs now... 

Got my copy today. Surprised I didn't have to wait several months for it! 🤣 And the album is fantastic in my opinion!

Also, I ordered the "Watchtower" one, and it didn't turn out like the tri color mockup. It's more like a black/silver starburst. Looks cool, but I'm wondering if I got another variant...

Can someone explain to me what's the point of going to all the trouble to press these records and make a nice package and inserts and whatnot, only sell them exclusively physically in one location once ever? This is taking the rarity aspect of vinyl way too far.

Q: “We have a real life, serious financial / adulting responsibilities that keep us from attending an event like this, but still really want to own those records. Why are you being so exclusionary and unfair to people like us?”
A: We understand how you feel. Promoting the idea of “seeing the artists and this vinyl community meeting up in person” is at the heart of this ambition. Having exclusively-offered items at gatherings such as ComicCon or major sporting events is common practice in collector’s circles that exist outside of the vinyl world. 
Giving a “forever-memorable, rewarding experience” in the form of a physical keepsake to those folks who take the risk and pay to see the artists (who literally cannot continue without our in-person support), is a way to make a unique and thoughtful contribution towards the continuation of our scene. If you feel slighted or unfairly-excluded by this decision, it may be an opportunity to reach in & contribute to this community (rather than maligning it) or network with new friends who can help you get ahold of the record. The hope is, that they would also see the value in assisting a perfect stranger who took a risk in “directly asking for the help.” You are being given a heads up this year so that you can plan accordingly. For complicated licensing reasons that didn’t affect last year’s drops, there are currently no plans to repress these albums outside of this drop.

Solid State/Unoriginal Vinyl have announced their exclusives this year.

Dead Poetic - "Four Wall Blackmail"

Life In Your Way - "Waking Giants"

Embodyment - "The Narrow Scope Of Things"

If anyone wants to help me out and pick these up for me I'd appreciate it! I LOVE Solid State Records and want to keep my catalog complete! Doesn't sound like these will be available afterwards (besides MAYBE leftovers).
