Mine was marked as Temporarily Backorder too, but I got a shipping notice today so hopefully you will too.

Could be a bootleg, there are so many in Germany at the moment.

I wouldn't put too much stock in what that site has to say. In one order they sent me three records that weren't as advertised.

One unsealed and still the wrong colour in a sleeve that was in a such a poor state that I wouldn't have touched it used.

One was advertised as being a colour that doesn't exist, so I thought I'd take a punt and see what I got - black.

The last one had the wrong catalogue number on it - important when you're trying to tell between Jawbreaker - Dear You repressings. They advertised blue and I got black.

Any UK or Europe friends willing and able to help me with All Is Violent... All Is "BLUE" repress GIAA are selling at their merch table ?

They have lots of dates this month in UK and then later on all over Euroland. I can PP you funds in advance of the show. Thanks if you can!

Next they should All is "VIOLET", All Is Bright, right ?

If someone is willing to do this, will you grab two? And then maybe I can convince Don to send me one? O__o

If anyone else is interested in the blue All Is Violent.. repress or the red Origins one (they're selling that too), let me know. No guarantees, but I'll do my best. I'm also very aware I'm new and have no track record so I'm not asking for anything up front.

Yes and no. If I own the release I'll make any change needed. If I don't own it I'm unable to validate that the information is correct on other pieces of info.

I agree 100% with all of that. It's when you get a message saying there's a typo that needs correcting or a word needs deleting that makes me wonder why they didn't just do it themselves. You don't need the release to make the change.

The only reason such messages are valid is if they are educating someone that the word vinyl does not exist.

Just realized the Hollowman I linked to is listed as being put out by Sound Pollution. Anybody have info on them? All I can find is that they're Swedish....

I can't find any trace of it being associated with Soundpollution: http://soundpollutiondistribution.se/en.

I can't find it for sale anywhere in Europe, only on Century Media's website and eBay shop. It's not even on CM's European shop.

I'd like it, but can't afford to ship it from the US with the import duty that would be slapped on top.

Possible stupid question time:

What (if any) is the difference between the EPs that came out last month (and people here already own) and the RSD releases?

The thing I don't understand about Discogs is when someone posts a comment on a release saying there is some minor change needed (such as the deletion of a word) that anyone could do regardless of whether they own the release or not. Surely it would be quicker to make the change than post the comment?

Maybe I'm missing some rule or protocol or something.

If this interests anyone, there's one left at time of posting.

Limited to 26 copies, only 20 of which made available to the public. Pledge $200 to Pulse Vegan - a new food trailer for south ATX and it's yours.

I've used Discogs and it seems good apart from the appalling search engine. I've seen it said that you should use the advanced search, but searching for (for example) At The Drive-In and having to scroll down to almost the bottom before finding it, passing mounds of irrelevant returns in the process is a search engine that needs fixing.

May have to give Deadformat a try.
