we've always had good results and happy customers on our discography packs, so I wanted to try something new out. lots of underrated gems up for grabs here.

It's 25 minutes long. And still on a regular LP. So even though its only 5 songs, Im still paying the same price as a regular LP to press it.

Reminds me of the hot topic variant of Superheaven.

A lot of stores exclude pre orders from their sales, NM opted to go site wide. Shit happens. Order one less cup of Starbucks this week and it'll be like you never lost those couple bucks.

I saw that today, so sick!
Also to update anyone who also had the same issue with me I got this response from NNM almost immediately when I sent an email:
 
 

So, this doesn't happen often, but I was right! The 2nd flexi with issue 2 is PEARS. I'm stoked. Fucking love them.

Ewwww. That's fucking gnarly. Definitely needs to be inside the mags.
 
While you are waiting, definitely read some of the articles. There are some pretty cool ones.

My buddy is doing merch for Beware of Safety tonight at the LA show. I'll see if they have any tour copies left.

This band fucking rules.  DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND TAKE A LISTEN.
 
Highly recommend starting with "County Line" or "Black River Gospel"
 
Not a huge fan of picture discs, but this record is way too good to pass up.  It actually came out over a year ago.  Glad that it finally got pressed in some fashion.

The only thing I don't like about Chris/no sleep is that he presses so many tests for the sole reason of sitting on them and then turning them around for huge profits later. Why would someone need 20 tests for one release? It's obvious that that aspect of his releases are a cash grab.
But that goes for any label, so its nothing personal to no sleep. Even Ross/ETR does it cause he knows he can trade/sell the extra tests to fluff his own collection, when we all know an extra test through gotta grove costs what...$3?
When tests start going 20+, then It stops serving the sole purpose of a test press, and also just becomes another very rare variant.

I personally use the following inner sleeves and outer sleeves on everything in my collection.

If you're referring to the thick, PVC plastic sleeves that come on picture discs, please check out this thread on another forum for more insight: http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/warning-to-all-record-collectors-outer-bag-inner-sleeve-concerns.387179/
 
The constant pressure when records are stacked, side-by-side or top-to-bottom, causes the plastic to stick to the record, which you've already experienced. If left alone this will ultimately cause the chemicals in the plastic to break down, resulting in the plastic sticking to your records and often in the grooves.
 
The best way to preserve your records is to clean them upon receipt, and transfer them into new inner and outer sleeves that are designed for archiving. While some of the options I linked above may seem expensive, it comes out to ~$1.00 per record to preserve them for your lifetime. That's a cheap price to pay, in my opinion, for even the cheapest clearance bin find.
 
I hope this helps.

Big fan of 10" here.
