  1. I rewatched Mission Hill recently and it got me on a Cake kick again, which was evidently well-timed. Can't get over how their open-window pre-order was $90 for the box set less than a decade ago and how far the industry's gone with inflation, christ.
  2. suuuuuper overlooked album that imo could’ve been pretty integral to the emocore canon if it was released when recorded instead of shelved for a half-decade
  3. IT'S NOT A GATEFOLD?!?! Pretty sick of this "the original wasn't a gatefold so why should this one be" notion when the price tag is already sky high
  4. where? can't find it in stock on their site or anything. i've got a listing up on discogs at a stupid highish price hoping someone will make an okay offer at some point, but if someone on here wanted it i'd be more reasonable. still, if it's supposed to be better than the standard then i can't exactly be competitive to the tune of matching the in-print worse version's price.
  5. could grab them from one of the equivalent stores eg brooklynvegan probably if you're particular, but it might all be the same warehouse or something idk. for what it's worth, never gotten anything fucked up in the mail by bv.
  6. Confirmed how? Did they post photos anywhere? Ended up impatiently grabbing one from Numero with the last Codeine LP I needed (Barely Real) and using another email for one of the 15% coupons they're always insisting I apply for when I visit the site. SIdebar: I love Numero Group to pieces, but I reckon they've been hit harder than a lot of labels by pandemic- and demand-related production cost increases by always using superior packaging, because their prices have absolutely shot up in the last year or two and it's breaking my heart. When I was placing orders w/ the plant for GNGM's Narrowing Type, the band and I toyed with getting tip-on jackets, but we were quoted literally 2x the cost for jackets alone direct from Stoughton Printing (300 units at $500 vs $1000). Anyway, I admittedly did shoot them an email regarding the steep price increases on represses of existing things released not terribly long ago (duster box going from $60 to $100, $40 to $80 for the Technicolor Paradise set), they insisted it was purely cost increase and they weren't happy about it either. In spite of this, a couple months back I intended to buy the Blondie 10LP set and when I went to buy it a couple days after the announcement, I noticed the price had silently increased dramatically (platinum color variant @ $330 initially, plus $120 to a new $450 price tag). The response: Which sucks, and I never ended up getting one because $450 is an absurd ask.
  7. Want the rose color, which it appears isn't exclusive to their store. Anybody see it popping up on other sites?
  8. I wish I could do a WTB thread for "want to borrow"....... Anyway, after borrowing and ripping a copy of the [Untitled] deluxe set without the packaging, I bought my own when it appeared on Discogs at only slightly above retail. I know I'm years late to this discussion because I saw it unfold in real time, but it really is the best packaging, design, and art direction of anything I've ever owned.
  9. This is the only website in the goddamn world I've got even the smallest chance of landing this or a similar trade. My copy is NM/NM (or VG+ if you consider a handful of plays with no visible wear to be less than NM) and has the extra autographed book of lyrics, extras, et cetera. Even got an extra jacket with it for some reason. Someone help me out, please! Edit: Or let me borrow it for a couple days so I can do a rip of it I'll literally pay you just to let me do this...there's a rip out there already but it's riddled with errors and has no lineage, and despite this I can still tell it's probably the best-sounding version
  10. Ever since I started posting these rips, a lot of folks have come forward to loan me stuff for ripping. I'd be happy to do that one too if anybody's got it!
  11. Hopefully y'all see this, sorry for the small mistake but I'm glad you enjoyed it regardless I live to serve, and also archive in high quality 45, if you can believe it!
  12. At the request of @iamjordanbanks, who loaned me his copy, I ripped & scanned the Nice And Blue (Pt. Two) 7". My YouTube channel has both the A- and B-sides, but I thought I'd directly link the more exciting of the two above: "In A Sweater Poorly Knit (Demo Version)" 24/96 download + hi-res scans + lineage/info: https://jenripsvinyl.com/rips/nice-and-blue-pt-two.html EDIT: I published this at nearly 4am and upon waking up in the morning I noticed the speed was ever-so-slightly off. Maybe the belt on my turntable needs to be replaced! Regardless, I've updated the files in the MEGA folder, changed the website to reflect the differences, and uploaded new videos to YouTube. The above is the new video, but if you downloaded the files prior to whatever time it says I edited this post, you should re-download (Gonna ping everyone who reacted to this post so you know, sorry-- @Mars, @daegor, @rcafilm, @zacooper, @IndigoHollow, @achillesstand7, @iamjordanbanks, @whoa, @ejc625, @throwgncpr)
  13. maaaaaaaaaaaaaad respectable collection, and tasteful interior design. if i ever own a house, i hope to have a room like this.
  14. Runouts confirm it--they've got sequential numbering in the stamps from 207797E1/A (Comfort A) through 207797E10/A (Planet D) just like the box set.
  15. Huh, got mine today and Magnified is a 2LP now. Never owned a previous pressing so I can’t compare, but I’m sure one of you will end up with both and comment on it.
  16. I've been collecting since January 2014 (when I was 14 years old; I am now 23). If you were to count every box set by the individual albums they contain, and include the stuff that isn't in the photo, I estimate I've got a few shy of 2k. Unwound are one of my favorite bands, admittedly I double-dipped on a couple of the more recent pressings too. As for the speakers, it's kind of a makeshift setup until I've got money set aside for new speakers (and/or better speaker stands than a couple of Uhaul boxes from when I moved into this place a few months back). They're triangulated to the center seat of my couch.
  17. I keep the records in another room, turntable and stereo out in the main living room area. I've got a couple boxes' worth that I didn't bother dragging into the photo, they'll go into another Kallax next time I'm at IKEA.
  18. Wish I'd seen this yesterday, they had a copy at my local when I went in for the sale
  19. I thought it was weird that I got that email weeks after they had sent mine already
