I know I've been waiting for NWO for a hot minute, thought maybe some others might be interested in these.

Where did all this happen, on X?

Instagram I think? There may be a link to her post somewhere on this thread, but I can't remember.

"Not for swifties," and yet @jhulud @lexicondevil and myself are half of the members interested in this and posting here. 🤣

I love it.

Which repress?

I think this was back when the Second Stage Turbine Blade repress was announced?

This isn't from this outage, it's from March last year.

Seems like I've gotten fewer this year, but when I think about it I still added a ton of stuff, mostly sale stuff of "holes" in my collection.

I have a list of stuff I'd like to have at some point but isn't urgent and I just wait for decent deals on that. When new stuff comes out now I'm much less likely to immediately jump on it.

I just saw them last night and purchased this so to me it was more of a souvenir from the tour 

Have you gotten to spin it yet? If so let us know how it sounds!

Hello,

I have a collection of an estimated 1,400 classical albums and would like advise on what I could do with them. They have sentimental value (belonged to Ma who was a music writer and critic for the local newspaper) so I am not going to throw them away or give them away, but I am doubtful they really have much value. They are taking up space and I would like to move them.

Thank you.

You said you won't throw or give them away but you're looking to move them.

Are you trying to put them in storage, or by "move" do you mean sell?

If the latter, I don't think you'll have much luck and you're likely better off donating them to a library if they'll take them.

If you just want to move them into storage I'm not sure what you're asking us.

Old ass thread being bumped cuz PTW posted a QR code after their L.A. show & took you to this…

I'm torn on this. Like...is it leading to another full repress with cover and everything, or is this it? Want to grab a copy but would rather not pay $35+shipping for some barebones shit.

I one day hope to achieve the level of shitposting that is bumping three different threads that haven't been posted in for 14-15 years. Only to post the same thing in all of them.

That's some next level shit.

Post this in all three for more internet pointsssssssss!

Big sigh. I had an issue with my first tri-color copy where C/D was warped pretty badly. It caused the first half of tracks C1/D1 to skip. They luckily sent me another copy for free.

 

Got it it in today. No warp, side C of played perfect. Almost put it away but decided to play side D. Track D1 still has a skip. This one is weird and looks like it happens right at the transition between two of the colors.

 

I guess I’ll just sell both at discounts and hope to make up the $50 I payed for it?

I've had a couple records with the second problem. Look reeeeally closely at the spot it is doing it. When this has happened to me in the past there was a little tiny piece of grit stuck in there that wouldn't come out with wet cleaning for whatever reason. Run a toothpick somewhat lightly over that spot and you may dislodge it.

Worth a try at least if it already is unplayable.

OG didn't come with a lyric sheet or posters; just the LPs in a gatefold.

Yup, black cover no goodies

Got mine in the mail today. It's a nice package and you can tell a lot of care was put into it. Two super minor corner dings which even though I'm not happy about weren't unexpected. I assumed it would be worse.

I'll have to break out my OG to compare. I don't remember if it came with the lyric sheet and poster like this one.

It gives me indigestion. I'm old.

I feel that shit deep in my soul.

It's ugh, really "cringe" (as the kids say 👴🏻) even though I do both of those things. I also listen to major label music and drink Miller High Life 😄. I wouldn't advertise either one 🙃.

Hey now. It *is* the champagne of beers. Recognize.

Fuuuuuck me. If I didn't have all the Cirith Ungol records I'd be jumping on that shit. $10 is unreal.

So glad I didn't sleep on this. How did black sell out everywhere before white?

Because the "white" bundle is actually black vinyl and vice-versa. It's weird how they listed it.

I almost accidentally bought the black cover/white vinyl version when I was checking out.

Would be cool if they split these up, really only want W&T

When mine comes in I may sell my MOV copy of W&T (depending on how these sound). I'll keep you in mind.

Anyone get Happy Songs or Rock action from Amazon? My order never shipped but it seems readily available.

Not sure about amazon, but all 4 with signed inserts came from the Mogwai store today, so you may want to check in if you still haven't gotten it.

Yeah, was considering this but...don't need a bunch of demos/live/re-recorded stuff, and don't $50 need this record.

the original pressing is still the best sounding. the 2012 2LP from hot topic sounds horrible. I think the new pressing is an improvement from the 2LP but this one just sounds flat and dull. 

Ah, gotcha. Bummer
