In total fairness re: naming credit conventions, the die-cut outer slipcase says "converge" on it

Sweeeeeeet. Thank you. Keep me posted. 

Haven't gotten my copy yet but I did get a ship notif so it's only a matter of time. I'll report back in our Cave In DMs probably.

Sooooooo...silly me...realized after checking my emails and DW account...that I was not able to order any of the DW variants (1st press) nor the Converge exclusive. So. If anyone has regrets or additional copies willing to sell or trade...hit me up. Looks like I only ordered the Revolver exclusive. 

 

 

I wasn't so hot on the album when it came out and haven't really listened to it since...if it doesn't grow on me with another revisit or two you can have my DW red/blue

Fuck it. Grabbed the Karate box; sorry, wallet. Whatever, I’ve been working 55+ hour weeks the last two months so I’m treating myself. 

I was pulling those hours in the ER up until the end of last month when I quit to start med school. Treating myself was the only thing that kept my head on straight. You deserve it.

As a 200-Line completionist that 215.1 is going to be a glaring hole, hopefully they do at least a slipcase or have another box with some sort of singles comp.

Really excited to hear and own this, but Numero, please reissue the box set!

Last year's '90s bundle was great, but they really outdid themselves this year. Reckon if it sticks around for another few days I'll happily buy in. Also, glad I put off buying Live Leaves for so long, seeing as how this version adds December and October All Over to the tracklist. Praise be to the Numero Group!

I just moved and have been too busy unpacking to price this shit. If I don't get any interest maybe I will later once the apartment looks less like the lyrics to Saddr Weirdr.

This is a second account I made purely for the stuff I'm 100% willing to let go of without needing to be convinced first.

Here's the full list, but don't feel like you need to look at it, because chances are I won't wanna let go of anything else without a sob story and a chunk of change.

If the plates are different, does one sound better than the other at all?

...and furthermore, does anyone here have word about how the originals sound? I know they're crammed to one disc, that's why I'm curious

Got both L&L's and it's weird, they're two totally different pressings. The color of the artwork is different shades, different plates, the BV one has an inner sleeve for the first LP (which is just the same artwork that's in the gatefold), the jackets are different thicknesses...  The matrix of the BV one doesn't match any previous pressings, but the SP one is the same as a black press that someone put up on Discogs a few years ago, so I'm guessing these might have been pressed then and they just sat on them for some reason... Pointless and nerdy observations, but hey, that's what we're here for, right?

If the plates are different, does one sound better than the other at all?

Pretty sure the masters for LP1 went up in a fire, so I wonder what they did to source this

jesus christ can i just get the regular lp without the frills

Good luck!

They handle a ton of artists' merchandise stores. Anybody had luck contacting their customer service?

Some friends and I wanted to do a group buy on a record that ended up selling out within a day or two. I bought three copies of the first press so we could save on the import shipping, and when it showed up, there was one copy in the box. This was a month ago, and despite contact through bandcamp AND the direct Sandbag (who handles NTS' merch) email, I've heard absolutely nothing. The automatic reply they send that says "we got your email" states it should be 1 business day before they reply, and I'd say a week is reasonable if they're slammed, but a MONTH is absolutely absurd.

So my question is, how do I get in contact? Do they have a phone line that anybody's aware of? Parent company I can Karen to?

The Loser gives Moon a run for its money. Add a tally to your list of bands who came back and totally delivered with it.

What exactly is this? I know the silk Sonic exclusive went up months ago, otherwise I’d maybe think it was new stuff?

I have never heard of them before but just checked the album out and it’s right down my alley. Good stuff. Grabbed a copy.

wow -- almost skipped right over this.

what a cool opportunity for you! been patiently waiting for the repress, thank you ❤️

Thank you so much for the support! Really means a lot.

I've been graced with the opportunity to reissue (what I consider to be) one of the best albums ever made. Happy 10-year anniversary to Narrowing Type!

For those unfamiliar, it's a wonderful blend of sounds pulling from influences like Low, The American Analog Set, Stereolab, and a whole slew of other brilliant musicians. It got overlooked at time of release, but has garnered a decently-sized cult following over the last decade, and today, on the 10-year anniversary of its release, I get to share the reissue. Original copies are impossible to track down at this point, so for those who've heard it, this has been a long time coming!

Pre-order here: https://energycrow.com/products/gngm-narrowing-type

And check out this interview with frontman Ryan Brewer to commemorate the anniversary: https://sun-13.com/2022/04/25/beyond-the-clouds-in-conversation-with-good-night-good-mornings-ryan-brewer/

I grabbed the 7LP cuz the 2LP gold was gone and I feel like I’ll listen to the live album enough, but really pound for pound I’d prefer the gold 2LP over anything
