I mixed up Manners and Heck No, Nancy. I ordered the two Manners variants yesterday, and the three Heck No, Nancy variants the week before, like corey. said below. Thanks again, man!

I ordered the three cassette variants for The Obsessives - Manners, and four cassette variants for Runaway Brother - Bedhead, today. I'll post an update when I get those in after the new year. That will give me every release and variant for NMR001-013.

Well played. That made me laugh this morning. Thank you.

Those look solid.

A bit pricey, but I have every release from this collaboration, so that's not going to stop me. I like that it comes with a download code for vocal and instrumental albums, makes the price a little easier to swallow.

Basically! I've limited a lot of my new purchases on vinyl because of the escalating prices. I understand the limited availability compared to the CD format plays a role, but in the example of the upcoming Coldplay album next month, a $17 difference between CD and record isn't justifiable to my bank account. I'm not a Coldplay fan, but that's the most recent example I've seen. I've also made a note to look up how the album was recorded and, if it's a remaster, what the source material is. I enjoy records for more than just the sound, but the music is always priority and when most new releases come with a digital download I'll typically go for the cheapest option.

Plus three variants each. Twelve total variants for four albums that are readily available on multiple formats for reasonable prices. I'm not one to judge anyone for how they spend their money, but business practices like this will likely drive a lot of people away from collecting, and likely spell a quicker demise in this particular trend.

I'll grab the standard press next paycheck. Thanks for the info, Justin.

That CD box-set sounds cool.

I wonder if they'll have US purchase and shipping options prior to RSD Black Friday, especially since their NYC location is now open.

Has it been confirmed all pressings are 2xLP, and those not listed as such are simply listed incorrectly?

The last two songs, Friends and Blood, are the standouts for me.

Thank you. I already received my refund.

How did you cancel your order?

Beach Slang tape is available on Bandcamp. https://beachslang.bandcamp.com/album/here-i-made-this-for-you-beach-slang-mixtape-vol-1

No worries, buddy. Thanks for the heads up. I'll give Bull Moose a shot.

Are these available on tour, or only as part of the VIP package?

Still available. http://www.wearenearmint.com/products/554669-the-obsessives-heck-no-nancy

Sorry to hear that. The bundle and Royal Blue /15 were gone almost instantly.

This is up, and there are still two variant options left.

I received a shipping notification this morning, and I'm in California.

I have 110, including 14 incoming.

You bet, glad I could help. I think picture discs are packaged in PVC sleeves because they are more rigid than a poly or mylar sleeve, and it allows the artwork to be displayed when on a store shelf. Picture discs are typically considered novelty records, too, often bought for collection purposes rather than with the intent to play them.
