Got the tour press and I'm rly happy with the sound of it, plus the packaging aesthetic is super cool. Never actually seen one of the CDs in person, so maybe it was the same way, but the vinyl packaging (and booklet) are ENTIRELY the same bright orange color, with detailing in translucent spot-gloss.

Got my Dusk in Us deluxe today, in a beefy mailer too. Packaging and art are top notch. Will spin this week, excited since I didn’t have this record yet!

Take some photos!

insane how cheap these records used to be, not only because of inflation and shit but also they’re all tip-on gatefolds

official pre-order launching this week

do you have anything to say that we might not know, or just generally any thoughts, regarding the child neglect/associated allegations and stuff? 

(i’m asking out of a genuine interest and pragmatism, not as a ‘gotcha’)

Sick. I’m sure it’ll be uploaded to Spotify and everything.

it’s already there on the comp unless that got removed 

you can also use my referral link instead for trans rights http://rwrd.io/5wjsc4k

I'll close this off once I hit a target $ amount, but I've got too small an apartment for the size my collection's grown & too many health problems to responsibly avoid thinning out at this point. 

Msg me with a list of whatever you're interested in, as there are some pieces I'm not keen to let go of.

big day for earnest sad people (me)

Jeff does no wrong

It was steep but have you seen what it sells for now? 😶 I'm happy with the quality at least, I would've been really disappointed if it had that price-tag and was constructed poorly or sounded like trash.

Unfortunately feeling this way except on the side of being simultaneously annoyed I missed out yet happy I didn't pay the sum.

Someone pls sell me HTKK too lmao

Sahan ended up engineering a safe way to ship everyone's tapes with their LPs, and those should've all gone out by now. If anybody with an order number up to #ECR1098 didn't get theirs by mistake, lemme know! The rest of the stock is being mailed to me so I can keep it with the other ECR records and handle distribution from here on out.

As far as all the repress talk, I've chatted with Jeff a good bit.  They know.  I just think they have no real motivation to do the work for it.  Like i said before, the last talks were that Translation Loss was offering, but they wanted to do a local place. 

I did shoot an email to the address listed on their facebook but never heard back. If you could let them know I'm serious about it and willing to do the legwork/put up the $ and defer as big a % of the profits to them up to 100% if they so choose, please tell 'em to hit me back at [email protected].

A long shot, but has anybody got a copy of Scurrilous they'd be willing to sell and ship to the UK?

 

Discogs is a fuckin nightmare these days with the automatically added VAT for anything bought from a US or EU seller. I know we Brits brought this upon ourselves (I didn't vote for the objectively bad idea which is Brexit and I am still very angry about it), but if anyone is able to help me out I'd really appreciate it!

If it’s still in stock I can buy it from SH and ship it to you, I dunno if that would cost any less tho

y'all fucking weird

Can someone put me in contact w these dudes so I can reissue RF thru Energy Crow and finally have a copy for myself lol

Anyone else still have a blue copy from the last press?

Yes I do, BUT I gotta direct the diehards to a friend’s latest passion project. Restoring rips of the original material as faithfully as possible, as he didn’t like how much Numero blunted frequencies with their harsher noise-removal techniques:

i’m in san bernardino county with this setup 

THORENS TD 209 --> 2M Bronze --> NAD Stereo 3045 --> Older Infinity speakers ive never been able to track down the precise model number of, but serve me well despite being probably the weakest link in my lineage

that's the right way to do i in my opinion, always happy to wait longer for a better product! btw can you say what the order # cutoff is for the bonus tape? very curious if i made the cut hehe

Good question. The last order to get a tape will be #ECR1098. We initially said "first 50 orders get the bonus tape", but then after agreeing upon it and advertising it, we realized there was ambiguity between us about whether that meant
A. One tape in each of the first 50 orders, regardless of how many copies they ordered (total of 50 cassettes)
B. One tape paired with each of the first 50 copies sold, regardless of how many somebody ordered/how many orders that takes to be complete (still total of 50 cassettes)
C. One tape paired with each copy within the first 50 orders; some people, especially internationally, did group buys, so this would amount to MORE than 50 cassettes

Rather than screw anyone over, we decided on a run of 75-100 tapes to fulfill option C. After everything ships, any replacements for loss/damage are sent out, and a few of the overrun are given to friends and family, the remaining ones will probably go up for sale.

Also, since I run this whole jawn myself non-profit, I'm thinking about doing something to the effect of TPs w/ screenprinted jackets just to cover some of the unexpected production costs (eg staggering inflation between announcement and now causing many of the orders' shipping charges to be outdated and inadequate). Nothing crazy, maybe like $50 plus the cost of however much it costs to do the screenprint setup divided by the number of prints. 

Also been thinking about doing a small run of Energy Crow logo enamel pins for the same reason. Any of the three people checking this thread have any fundraising ideas that you'd buy? T-shirts etc?

looks like these are shipping soon per an email from the label! forgot that i had this on pre-order, lovely surprise

Yep! Didn’t wanna distribute a subpar product and unfortunately had to reject the first test pressing so it took a little longer than the band and I had hoped. Just happy to have them in-hand now.

Effortlessly fits! 

Yep! Put mine in there too. Gonna be the way I listen from now on.

My local shops suck, someone please help me out with:

Sigur Ros
The Wonder Years
Dismemberment Plan

Everything else I want I can probably find online but the pressing # are too low on these for me to be that confident
