It is up on Red Eye Records as well.  Have not looked around too much but given these 2 UK/EU shops are stocking it others over there may be too,

Fuck black vinyl with splatter patterns.  It never comes out looking that great....hopefully I’m wrong.

Yeah this is more interesting then half the stuff that they do each month but I am a comp and world music fan especially reissues done well.

Title says it all.  Looking for a copy of Turnover's Peripheral Vision on Black Vinyl.  Copy must be in VG++/VG++ condition and seller is willing to ship to Canada.  Please PM with offers.

PM'd

 No need to be a cock about it.

I often use amazon. By late next week these guys will be 25$ shipped to Canada - which I will partake in.

Yeah will keep my eye out on Amazon, EBay, etc,  was just wondering if there was another shop or something was all.  Looking to pick up there last album as well.

Also cool to see someone else on here from NB!

Nothing to add but will be keeping an eye on this thread.

Anyone know the cheapest "shipped" option to Canada for any vinyl copy (don't care about the colour).

Pretty weird they are really doing nothing special for this release especially on the pressing side of things.  I have no reason that this will sound any better then the two previous releases (both are pressed terribly).

It's likely a 10 year anniversary release so if they do it right (2 LP, remastered, liner notes, gatefold, etc) it could be good.  Agreed the OG press of this and Aligator sound thin and flat.

WE are 6 miles west of Portland and will check out the Hoffman Chat...

 

Thanks.

Awesome!

And regarding the Hoffman side of things, it is the polar opposite of here for Peppers meaning there are multiple (I mean double digits) threads on this release all with different specific topics.  And the main topic has multiple threads as well with the first thread being 905 pages of replies!

Good morning everyone. WE are new here on The Vinyl Collective and enjoying getting going!

Purchased the Double Vinyl Sgt. Pepper LP on the day of issue. Loving it! First new vinyl I've bought in 30 years. Hope Giles will give The White Album next year and Abbey Road in 2019!

Any other thoughts...comments...etc. Any other Beatleologists (like me) out there!

 

Remember...to be kind to everyone.

Hey Marc, welcome!  Love Maine (especially Portland - likely my favorite city in the world).

A bit of advice.  For anything pertaining to sound quality especially releases from the 90s and older, the Steve Hoffman forums is the best reference anywhere on the internet.  I would say for classic rock/pop discussion there is likely no better place to go.  Also I would argue a large group of the people at the Hoffman forums are true audiophiles in the true sense of the term (likely due to the demographics having the experience in this area and budget to afford more expensive equipment).

The VC forums (not to be confused with the VC Facebook/YouTube community which is something entirely different) is "generally" focused on releases from the 90s to current day, especially those in specific genres like indie, punk, emo, ambient, shoe gaze, etc, etc.  Also colour and limited pressings appeal more here then over there.

Finally got my Arthur Verocai this morning from Picidilly Records.  Damn this thing was hard to find but I can say I am finally done. 

Anyone see a copy anywhere for the Arthur Verocai album?  Its a 70s brazilian record that had a special audiophile reissue released on RSD (only, 1,000 available).  Have not seen it show up on any of the stockists selling remaining stock and it is going for $50 CAD + shipping (all outside of Canada) so it is pricey.

Only after the Arthur Verocai at a decent price (ie not Discogs or eBay).  Checked all of the stores that have been listing stuff today have not seen it listed anywhere.  Any help would be appreciated.

Anyone see the Scared to Get Happy comp, Arthur Verocai or U Roy reissues at decent prices?

Looking for Arthur Verocai RSD release but have yet to see it pop up.

PM on Cocteau Twins!

FYI - Passing on these so others can get them.

Pitched up at my local store at 1040. They had very little (they closed and reopened under a new name in the last year) but the new owner seems to have followed his predecessor's example and set his prices higher than anywhere else I've seen online.

 

Got a Kate Nash for someone here and Cocteau Twins Milk And Kisses and Four-Calendar Cafe for the board. PM me if you are interested.

 

@GhostTrail - I will keep my eyes and ears open for a copy.

 

Barbie Girls everywhere. Expect there to be plenty online next weekend.

PM on Cocteau Twins!

This is my favorite band of all time and one of the few whose later records are very strong as well.  Cannot wait to see them in Portland, Maine in May.  I will probably pick this up to support them even though I have originals of all of their LPs.  

I loved 95% of the new mix but as soon as B0lly starts laughing on the outro it ruined the whole thing for me.  No idea why they included that especially given the meaning\sentiment of the song.

The new Luke reed record "Won't Be There" will HOPEFULLY be released sometime this year (hope you are listening Native Sound).

I have been trying to pimp this at every possible turn.  Nice to see Gorilla vs Bear just recently give it some love as well:  http://www.gorillavsbear.net/

Drown and Glynis we're both SD quality tracks that just didn't fit into the record.  

 

I think the weakest comp track they did in that era was Ascendo, and I still love that track.

Yup, love Glynis.  Was so disappointed in the new version released on the Pisces Iscariot re-release.

I'll have to check it out. Even though I'm big into SP I haven't tracked down all their early comp tracks. Also exclusive Westerberg is pretty neat, especially if it's the first stuff he released just after the Replacements' break up.

How can you be "big" into SP and not have your hands on Drown?  That makes zero sense.  This is one of the best comps of all time, of any genre for all of the reasons other mentioned.
