So it looks like most people are unhappy with the new redesign for Eyes Like the Sky, the original was amazing artwork. I like the new one as well though! It looks like Float Along and Oddments have not been changed at all, or if they have it's a minor change, I think the best, most exciting thing they could add is adding Anglesea to Willoughby's Beach, which I am sure they could as it is now a 12", I doubt they will though :(.

Funny how a stupidly vague statement like this ends up being a lie & pure bluster/hype. Shipping for the ORB is prohibitively expensive, as always.

I'm hoping a local store carries Flightless stuff from now on. Otherwise, I'm out on the label as a whole. 40 bucks for a single LP that doesn't have, like, a gold-plated cover, is highway robbery.

I believe the idea is to distribute in worldwide, so we would actually see releases in North America and Europe on the shelves of our local stores, it is certainly a tough pill to swallow when a new album is $70.00 AUS shipped. However it makes me wonder, even with a distribution network, will they be extremely pricey at local stores as well? if that is the case ill just buy the more limited version direct from flightless thank you very much

Yeah only 2 showed up at first, then that tri color popped up. Liking the Blood Moon variant too. Looks like this is FLT041, not the Baked Beans debut, which must be FLT042 then, going by Pirate Press's figures. This is the 2 x 1000 & 1x 500 variants. But I coulda sworn I could see FLT041 on the centre labels of the BB variants....seems not the case.

I'm guessing then, that FLT036 is not Poly as presumed, but will be Amyl & the Sniffers new album.

 

It definitely had FLT-041 in the pictures, those I presume were generated for them by Pirates Press, so perhaps they put the wrong catalog number on the mock-up? Because ORB does make a lot more send as the FLT-041 and the number seems to add up with FLT-042 being Baked Beans.. I am still a little confused by FLT-036, I am unsure why they originally passed it over and then decided to use it, perhaps it will be Amyl

Orb's up folks

Wow. 3 colors. Ordered the silver before the others popped up. Errrr... The red looks best. Oh well..

New ORB is up for listen, sounds great in my opinion. 

Updated the main thread with the re-worked cover art we have now seen for 12 Bar and WB, let me know if any of the new artwork pops up anywhere else, still interested in where the smaller editions will be landing. 

I bet the more limited ones will be at gizzfest.... Damnnnn

So, looks like reissues will be coming up, really really soon.. lots of action on instagram. 

Perhaps they will appear at the same time as the new ORB, it noticed they dropped down the sold out items on the site.

I'm gonna wait for a CF pressing to be announced. Can't imagine that there won't be one (or if not that there won't be another US or UK label that does it).

 

Edit: Actually maybe there won't be one. Just seen a repose by Orb on their IG page when asked if there will be a CF pressing for the US they responded "Flightless is now a worldwide force". So we will need to see when order details cone out. Maybe they will have different distribution for US/EU/UK going forward and not ship all from Aus?

As soon as I saw the third 7500 presses o thought of the fact some had mentioned flightless was going "international" before. I presume a limited amount of the 7500 will be maybe sold on flightless store. No doubt the lion's share will be provided to worldwide distributors like fab to be ordered by local stores. My thoughts at least. 

I actually think this must be FLT-042, likely some green will be sent to JB hi-fi. Perhaps FLT-041 will be ORB? with the numbers I think FLT-040 will be a new Murlocs, or I hope at least!!!!

Please let the unknown be Murlocs Loopholes and Gizz Willoughby's Beach!  Also curious how much the OG's of what's being repressed will drop.

Unlikely they will drop substantially, due to the low pressing number and the ravenous fan base, however we have seen them soften some since the bootlegs. I personally am only missing loopholes

With baked beans coming up, I presume it will be FLT-042, as it has the lowest number with 2 different pressings making a total of 1000, I had assumed that would be Amyl and the Sniffers. ORB may be FLT-041 with 2500.

I am cleaning up the top post on this, ill continue to update it as I know, things I find very interesting is they have the FLT-036 listing in 2 colors, that number was originally passed over as it would have been Polygondwanaland, they must have decided to make an official pressing of it, however that would possibly modify the idea that the secondary quantity is for ATO, as they already have numerous Poly pressings. I think perhaps the notion of them establishing an American store may be more feasible, but who knows. 

Also with 3 other albums in press and none of them yet named I would assume FLT-040 being the largest pressing number at 6000 total may be a new 2018 King Gizzard release, FLT-041 with 3 variants and 2500 total may be a new Murlocs, Pipe-eye or most likely a new ORB album, as Space Between The Planets has already been released. Lastly we have FLT-042, the new pressing with only 1000 total, I assume this will be Flightless first Amyl and the Sniffers release, as they have signed to Flightless and we have not heard anything else. What does everyone else think?!

cool, where did you see this?

From the Pirate Press job status page. 

I figure we had some big threads for most of the King Gizzard releases last year and with the imminent release of reissues of the first 3 albums a actual flightless thread should be started. Looks like the following will be available. 

When does the VMP edition go up?

How much for willoubys beach

Has anyone seen the stones satanic majesties? Didn't get any in Canada

Thinking bout getting rid of my wax mage variant if anyone is looking to buy.

Whaaaat why! Depending on price I would take it. Biggest regret is not snagging one  

Us here in Canada didn't get any, lol

Few updates, got my Fuzz Club pressings, extremely happy with packaging and sound quality, definitely better than my Bear Tree or Crane pressings. 

Also I figured I would post this here because this seems to be kind of the King Gizzard Main Page right now, you should check these guys out, Cook plays guitar on some of their tracks, it's jazzy, but not jazz

Fuzz club version was on Amazon Prime for $29.99. Presumably black vinyl, but still a pretty good price to avoid shipping from the UK.

 

It was a pre-order when I purchased.

Believe it or not, it may be "bone" color... They still have 100ish black on their site, and sold out of the Clear and Blue /100s like 3 months ago, however they have a bone color which may be a retail variant? 

If I didn't already pay for the clear and blue I would order one and see.

there were 3 copies and all appear to be gone now.

I will be sure to post here if there is another double order(s) or surplus when they arrive.

thanks everyone

I would kill for a wax mage. Keep missing them

I am kind of sad I went with the Ogre Blood Splatter or whatever from Stolen Body, the Tri Color looks so much better. 

On a side note I did get the Crane Records Test Pressing in the mail yesterday, I have not had a chance to play it yet, however it looks fantastic for a test pressing.
