After finding out who the director was and that Trent and Atticus scored it, I figured it had to be deeper than that trailer.  

After finding out who the director was and that Trent and Atticus scored it, I figured it had to be deeper than that trailer.  

The trailer is incredibly misleading to make you think it's a raunchy love triangle movie with tennis. Sure, it is for a fraction of it, but overall it's a very deep and layered story that covers roughly 13 years of the main characters' lives. It's not predictable (opinion of course) and kept my attention the entire way through. The reviews have been stellar from what I can tell. My friend and I who went were genuinely surprised at how good it was.

I mean, I mainly want to see it because of the directors track record.  Call Me By Your Name, Suspiria (remake), We Are Who We Are, Bones & All, etc.  I’ve loved everything he’s done so far so I don’t see why I wouldn’t like it.  I will say the tennis plot threw me off at first but I’m interested in seeing how it works out.

Mike mentioned the label putting out Home and Minor will be reissuing all the other albums from Superball including Feed to Feed.

I have an original but not an MOV. It's a toss-up. Bass is better on the new press, but the highs are slightly distorted in some spots. 
 
Of course you need a second copy. 

Get the AP version of Core. It's that much better. This thing sounds ridiculous. 

It's been discounted for at least the past three months. I would hold off. I'll drop my thoughts on which is the better pressing as soon as the AP one comes out. 

I'm a bit limited with local stores, but will try and hit up two or three of them that day as I really want this and Mansun.
Else will keep an eye on out banquet, norman, Piccadilly, specialist subject etc as they post leftovers pretty sharpish.

I might have to offload my MOV copies for these:

I have mine on order. Core comes out early March, but no release date for Purple yet. 
 
The 30th anniversary 2LP pressing of Core already crushed the MOV. Really excited to hear if it's even further improved. 

Also also - its an RSD First release, so there will be another variant coming later this year. https://recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/17394

Out 2/2/24, no preorder info yet but hoping it comes soon.  This one is self-released and is supposed to be “more reflective and somber” than his others.  
 
First single, Fractal, is out and it’s huge:

When I compare this set to something like Failure’s 92-96 box set, even if there was a ~$30 difference, it shows how bare bones this one is.  I’m sure it’s somewhat by design, sleek, simple, etc., but they could’ve at least printed on the spines of the jackets.
 
But, like you said, I’ve spun Coloring Book and Our Color Green, and they both sound excellent.  I should probably give them a cleaning as there are a few pops, but the sound quality really does shine here.

Alright quick Google search shows that apparently this was done on purpose.  Kind of makes sense.  I noticed it flowed pretty nicely in the new order.  Just kind of took my by surprise is all.

FYI Urban Variant on sale for $7.49 when in cart.

Colored are almost ready to ship. 

I cannot believe they just sold a 2xLP for $30.  I immediately bought it in case it was a fuck up.

Looks like it’s getting a wide repress, which is cool because I sold my first press a while ago.
