Anyone else have a JPC package that hasn’t been updated since Frankfurt a week ago?

PO - Sufjan Stevens - The Ascension LP
fondfarewell replied to CeCeCe's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
https://sufjanstevens.bandcamp.com/album/america The 12” will be gone very very soon. -
I just got shipping confirmation from JPC. It’s being sent with DHL. I ordered with standard shipping, so they may be upgrading US orders to get them out the door.

New Bright Eyes Album 2020
fondfarewell replied to CatsNJazz's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
The red/teal German pressing is now available on JPC, which has much cheaper shipping to the US than HHV: https://www.jpc.de/jpcng/poprock/detail/-/art/bright-eyes-down-in-the-weeds-where-the-world-once-was/hnum/9905119 -
New Bright Eyes Album 2020
fondfarewell replied to CatsNJazz's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Can someone confirm that any sign-up for the SS between now and the end of July will get the Bright Eyes LP (with a sign-up in June starting with Molina and a sign-up in July starting with BE)? -
Elliott Smith: Expanded 25th Anniversary Edition
fondfarewell replied to bgdesign's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
It’s yellow and, at 1500 copies, presumably more limited. These aren’t really bundles—just LPs housed in a book. KRS is offering a number of egregiously priced bundles that add on signed photo prints (in varying quantities and sizes depending on just how stupid the price gets) and, if you really have money to burn, a certificate of authenticity with the most expensive bundle. 🙄 I’ll risk the inauthenticity of a copy from Bullmoose. -
The Third Man Records Thread
fondfarewell replied to dreamover's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
It was available in the Vault novelties store a while back but sold out. It was priced at a premium—$20 or $30 IIRC.- 4,699 replies

Rick White has put out a vinyl pressing of Eric’s Trip’s “Warm Girl” cassette (not to be confused with the 7” of the same name). The first run of 400 sold out, but they’re pressing more. Seems they will all be on green vinyl. https://bluefogrecordings.bigcartel.com/product/eric-s-trip-warmgirl-vinyl-lp

Happy to be corrected by others, but Academy Annex probably has the most 45s (though perhaps not an “absurd amount”) without being junky. They keep some boxes of more valuable stuff behind the counter, so ask for those too.

The shops in Greenpoint are where I spend most of my time. Best are Record Grouch, Captured Tracks and Academy Annex, but there are a couple others that can be covered in between if you have time. All pretty close together, and Peter Pan Donuts is excellent for a coffee break. Rough Trade in nearby Williamsburg is fine, but I rarely buy new stuff at a store and that’s all they do. The only shops I’ve liked in Manhattan for used selection are Other Music (now closed) and Ltd to 1. Everywhere else, the prices tend to be stupid.

Moving with your record collection---How did ya?
fondfarewell replied to Multiverse's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
If you’re going 8x4 vertical like me, I would highly suggest gluing everything together on each unit, and also getting a sheet of MDF cut to size and nailed in on the back of each unit. The added strength and rigidity is key to keeping the bottom level from collapsing, from what I’ve read. Wall anchors are also worth considering for the top level, especially if you can get them into studs. -
Moving with your record collection---How did ya?
fondfarewell replied to Multiverse's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
I have what is effectively an 8x4 Kallax to make use of my high ceilings. I remember reading something somewhere (Hoffman?) about floor construction and how you could basically never get too heavy with records in a properly constructed building. -

Upgrade on Uhaul boxes are these with these inserted at the bottom and top of each box. Fits like a glove and exceptionally secure, especially for stacking. -
Stereolab / Cavern of Anti-Matter / Duophonic Thread

You could try warming the adhesive a bit with a blow dryer before peeling. -
Stereolab / Cavern of Anti-Matter / Duophonic Thread
fondfarewell replied to CeCeCe's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
A number of years back, I swapped out only those PVC sleeves in direct contact (mostly pic discs). On some darker ones, you could see some hazing had occurred. A couple years ago, I decided to swap out the rest. I found that adjacent poly sleeves had reacted with the PVC, becoming rippled and weaker. And the LP jackets under the poly sleeves stank like PVC. Records seemed fine, but it totally put me off keeping any PVC sleeves in my stacks. -
Stereolab / Cavern of Anti-Matter / Duophonic Thread
fondfarewell replied to CeCeCe's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Transfer transfer transfer. Stickers are easy to peel off. You can also just store PVC sleeves separately, which I’ve done for some others that are printed or otherwise unique. These are just generic, so into the trash they go. -

A global stamp from the post office for $1.20. Highly unlikely it would go missing, but if you want proof of delivery, you’ll need to make it Registered Mail for an extra $16, or send by USPS Priority, UPS, FedEx or DHL, any of which will be around $20-25. Separately, I was 0/8 on scratch cards. If anyone won twice, I’ll buy it off you for a not crazy amount. -
PO Now: Beck - Hyperspace

Best one yet. Wasn’t going to preorder this but I’m a sucker for a complementary color scheme. -
Sleater Kinney - The Center Won't Hold (8/16)
fondfarewell replied to timsimmons's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
“I said, ‘Am I just the drummer now?’ They said yes. And I said, ‘Can you tell me if I am still a creative equal in the band?’ And they said no. So, I left.” Just one side of the story, but that is really really shitty.
