You deserve it just based on your Let It Come Down avatar.

A winner has been chosen - congratulations @Waters!!! Sorry to everyone else. Free wet socks as consolation prizes to anyone who wants one.

I was able to pick up a couple copies of Burn The Witch in the US today. I have an extra for the board at cost. To give everyone a fair chance at it, PM me and I'll put you on a list. Then later tonight I'll draw one using a random generator. You must have a good reputation on the boards to be eligible, otherwise I'm going to mail you a wet sock. Only shipping to US.

And that's how it's done.  Fuck @halo2.

It seems like the clear version has sold out on his site...seems to be a barnes & noble exclusive though, just ordered it here

The new single sounds incredible, really grabbed my attention for this record.

A big magical picker in the sky can help you find things. All you have to do is tell it what you want and it will help you. 

I saw the band last night at the Independent in SF, they were amazing! Lots of merch including two different t-shirt designs, two different posters, cd's and vinyl. The guys came out after the show and took pics and signed for everyone. I definitely recommend catching them if you can, it's amazing to have seen them play such a small venue.
 

I love MS and Caspian. : )
 

what's with all the negativity? if you don't want it, don't buy it. nobody is forcing anyone to buy every variant of every record. L&J are good people and deserve every penny they make. it's not like TMS is some huge operation and they're sitting in a back room somewhere plotting get rich schemes. it's a labor of love--a unique way of releasing small runs that core fans of the music can enjoy and the label makes a little extra to fund new releases. that's a win-win in my opinion. i'd much rather see them release things like this and repress the hell out of their back catalog than be forced to close. there's obviously a demand for both these limited "test presses" and back catalog represses, so you can't fault them too much. it's called trying to make a living.

$130 for all 7 shipped seems reasonable enough. Done.

From Lush on FB-
We’ve been away for ages and ages, but we’re really excited to announce that we’re finally ready to reform as Lush. For all the fans who have been pestering us to do this: thanks so much for your patience and support! We wish it could have been sooner but, for many years, it was just too painful to contemplate without Chris, and then all kinds of life-changing commitments made it impossible. Now, at last, the three of us are in the right place at the right time to play music together again.
To celebrate our return, 4AD will be putting out a vinyl edition of our ‘best of’ compilation Ciao! (limited copies will be coloured red) and a box set of (very nearly) everything we ever released along with a selection of rarities, sessions and demos. We'll be playing the Roundhouse in London on 6 May 2016 – tickets will go on sale at 9am on 30 September – so you've got plenty of time to regrow your shoey fringe. Chris's old friend from back in the day, Justin Welch (Elastica), will be on drums. There’s more information to come, so please keep in touch…
Lots of love, Miki, Emma and Phil

FYI- email from the band today included the following-
"Also, we are in the process of dotting the T's and crossing the eyes on a deal that will see Colour Trip and Sparkler pressed on Vinyl for the North American market! ".
No dates mentioned, they are also finishing their current album up. Can't wait for a Sparkler press-

They gave out 100 of them randomly with preorders
