Copped a color Bombpops.. speaking of cops.. can’t wait for Bad Cop/Bad Cop this year

There’a a clear copy on ebay right now with a $999 bid in! I watch these for fun. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F293411584043

Spinning this now and it surprisingly sounds really good. Dead quiet pressing too. My only issues are the seam splits and lack of any liner notes (although the Stephanie/Richard note was cool). It’s a long shot, but a sort of oral history all these years later from the bands/label would have been awesome, but that’s a job in itself. @thedillon killed it and my vote for the next Drive-Thru reissue would be... a pressing of the first ‘I Can Make A Mess’ album 👍

am I the only one who opted for classic black? 😎

I remember scoring a copy of the EP on ebay, but it was cracked in half during transit. 😩

A lot of the other songs are demos (Allister, Home Grown, Midtown) or EP versions that never made it to wax (Finch ‘Letters’, Something Corporate ‘Jordan’). That’s why I love/loved this comp growing up. A lot of variety (not just all singles like a sampler). I prefer some of those early recordings to the album versions too, but I don’t expect this comp to have superb sound quality unless they mastered it for vinyl maybe.

Had to grab a copy. Great comp

as did their shitty label BIGWIG DYNAMITE BOY GLASSEATER JUNCTION 18 ATDI NEAR MISS FTW 😄

Bob Mould - Sunshine Rock Bad Religion - Age Of Unreason Fences - Failure Sculptures Strung Out - Songs Of Armor And Devotion Somos - Prison On A Hill Jimmy Eat World - Surviving Tegan And Sara - Hey, I’m Just Like You Third Eye Blind - Screamer Blink 182 - Nine The Early November - Lilac

I have to check this one out. They used to play locally, but never gave them a listen. Their old label has this on their bandcamp also (pay what you want) https://allaboutrecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-way-to-a-girls-heart-is-through-her-boyfriends-stomach

Propagandhi - Victory Lap www.dropcards.com/vinyl V36GYCD4YV

All original surprisingly (according the liner notes). Ace, Jeff, Bill, Sergio and Joe. Touring is a different story and I think Ace is vocals only for shows now if I’m not mistaken (no guitar).

I was thinking about that the other day. I never heard it, but thought if Craft used that, it would be a true remaster. I’m assuming they used WAV files or something, but I can’t speak for them. Too bad these labels and/or bands aren’t very transparent when it comes to sound quality and sourcing. 🤷‍♂️

This is on sale for a $13 (as well as other TEN merch) in both stores. 😎 https://riserecords.merchnow.com/products/v2/296759/lilac-pinwheel-lp https://merchnow.com/products/v2/296759/lilac-pinwheel-lp

They have a new EP out now called ‘Supermoon’. The songs were written for their last record, but left off (way more guitar). ‘Heaven’ is on it too. Vinyl ships early 2020. PO link I love their first LP, but not so much the second. However, I might give it another try. It’s been on Amazon for cheap lately ($15)
