Alexisonfire - Alexisonfire 15yr Press
rabbitvinyl replied to piky0032's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Anyone know if these are the remasters from 2016 or the original mixes? I have the 2014 represses and I'd like to finally get the original mixes on wax. There are some key parts missing from the self-titled! -
Official Record Store Day Thread
rabbitvinyl replied to timsimmons's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Just FYI, the band announced on IG that there will be a US/Can/Mex release of this out on Friday. -
PO: Home is Where - I Became Birds EP
rabbitvinyl replied to dawhizz's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Hell yeah! I've been waiting for this news ever since I gave this a first listen. What an awesome EP (album)! Don't care for all the fifth wave discourse that followed, but this record is great. The harmonica is such a good touch, same with the sprinkling of horns. Picked up an orange copy since shipping was cheaper. Thanks for this! -
PO: Ratboys - Printer's Devil
rabbitvinyl replied to corey.'s topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Forgot I ordered this and the funfetti variant showed up today! It's a pretty nice variant but it's definitely more of a splatter than "sprinkles" of colour as originally advertised. It sounds great but my copy is warped as hell. My cartridge is so close to hitting this record, it's making me nervous. Still, overall a nice package considering the price. The zine is a nice touch, and I like all the little insides scoops. There's some fun Canadian connections in it too - was surprised to see a photo of the band in Montreal with David Mitchell from Gulfer! Also, surprise Nardwuar! Anyway, happy birthday Ratboys. -
Wu Lyf - Go Tell Fire To The Mountain Repress
rabbitvinyl replied to CatsNJazz's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Damn, I knew I shouldn't have splurged on an OG last year. Thought they lost the plates for this in the Universal Music fire in London, and figured a re-press wouldn't see the light of day considering this band just disappeared. Good news for people who don't own a copy though! -
PO: Dogleg - Melee (Triple Crown; 3/13/20)
rabbitvinyl replied to drewberinger's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Another splatter for the Dogleg collection, fuck yeah! The vinyl bundle was such a great deal too - good value for those who missed out on the first pressings of Melee. -
Mogwai - As The Love Continues
rabbitvinyl replied to ExtraFox's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Aw man, I guess I did get a dud. The rest of the sides sound phenomenal btw - which is why I thought I was hearing wrong at first. Tested it out on another table and it does the same thing But yeah, amazing accomplishment for post-rock AND an indie label with two employees (Stuart thanked them both in the IG post on Friday, haha)! -
Mogwai - As The Love Continues
rabbitvinyl replied to ExtraFox's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Pretty bummed. I finally picked up my reserve copy (the indie yellow) of this from a local shop and Side A seems to be off-pitch. The notes drone and sound way off compared to the digital version I've heard. My tonearm is clearly moving side to side as it tracks, so I'm thinking this is an off-centre pressing issue. Has anyone had this problem with their yellow copy?! -
PO: Spirit of the Beehive - Entertainment, Death
rabbitvinyl replied to bluethumb's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
I loved Hypnic Jerks but going to wait it out a bit before placing a pre-order! Lead single is a bit too much, not a huge fan of the heavy bits. Beautiful cover art though. -
Mogwai - As The Love Continues
rabbitvinyl replied to ExtraFox's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Wow. I love it even more now! Hilarious anecdote. Thank you for this -
Mogwai - As The Love Continues
rabbitvinyl replied to ExtraFox's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Very very excited for this album. Just what I need while in lockdown. New song is surprisingly beautiful, straightforward but probably my favourite Mogwai lyrics. -
Tri-split finally showed up! It looks great, sounds good so far too. Happy I decided to stick with the tri after the factory fuck up.

Moneen - The Theory of Harmonial Value
rabbitvinyl replied to bridley's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Yeah, picked one of these up too. I missed out on the first pressing because I couldn't swing it and DA's shipping fee was outrageous at the time, but this time there was a $7.00 CanPost option! Absolutely shocked and pleasantly surprised. Excited to finally have some Moneen in the collection.- 29 replies

PO (9/22): Fleet Foxes - Shore
rabbitvinyl replied to JRHews's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
All variants aside (sad I missed the blue), the album is fantastic. I'm on listen #5 while working and I love all the little details. First song really sets the tone well and that continuation into Sunblind is beautiful. -
Always fun to see these guys doing well and putting out new stuff! Also stoked that they're now on RMR so I don't get burned by Topshelf's shipping. Singles all sounds great so far too!

Agreed about his recent stuff, it's a little aimless and not very interesting guitar work. This one sounds a bit more varied at least. That's definitely true about the Sonic Pieces aftermarket prices though, but I think it depends on the artist. I'm lucky to have grabbed limited copies of Otto's "The Lost", Blumm and Nils' "Tag Eins", the original press of the Moon at the Dark I+II, Midoro's "Minor Planet" and Rauelsson's "Mirali" but still...sometimes it just doesn't seem worth it. I would really love a first press of Pino though. It's the one I've been hoping to find for a reasonable price for a while now - it's so so so good.

Alright, so as someone who doesn't live in the U.S. and would fucking kill for a concept such as "Media Mail" pricing, you're all fools and don't know the absolute privilege you have. Any album I purchase, whether 2x LP or not, is going to have at least $15-20 shipping tacked on. Every. Single. One. It's not uncommon for single album purchases to run up to $50-60 with shipping factored in; like the latest F.S. Blumm release. I'm hesitant to purchase a copy since it'll end up costing me well over $60 with the exchange rate and shipping. Thankfully ANOST ships via Royal Mail which is usually fairly priced, but still, shit's expensive. Also, free shipping on Bandcamp?!?!? This is news to me.

New Bright Eyes Album 2020
rabbitvinyl replied to CatsNJazz's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Minus the kids, I agree with everything here! Hot Car in the Sun felt like the most classic Bright Eyes to me and along with Stairwell Song it stood out on the first listen. Someone else up there mentioned that the first half of the album is especially slow, and I would also agree. The album takes a while to pick up, and I think it does once Tilt-a-Whirl starts. -
PO: We Were Promised Jetpacks - out of interest EP
rabbitvinyl replied to Astro-man's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Sweet. Thanks for this! IMO one of the most consistently solid rock bands of the last decade and a half (can't believe it's been that long!).
