Honestly it's a big part of what makes it good, with only a few people coming in at once (realistically, when you let in 100 there are maybe 10 that are active) it's less intimidating for the new people and it's easier for the existing people to get to know them.

Keep an eye out, they open it up around once a month.  I think they may be planning on letting in a lot more next time.

It'd be cool if their discord wasn't so gatekeep-y.

Nah, I like that they're so community driven, best Discord I'm a part of

I find those rainbow variants underwhelming tbh...maybe I'm just rationalizing not jumping right on this atm. Is it just me? Those appendix variants are beautiful though.

They're just trying to right the wrongs of the last attempt that turned out nothing like the attempted rainbow

mwY confirmed with me that The Appendix is not included with the Collectors Edition, and that each Appendix variant is out of 250.

getting the collectors additions isnt worth it for a casual fan is it? I would rather grab their whole back catalog. 

The Collectors editions are immaculate, but the regular pressings are really good quality too (the recent ones, anyway).  If you just want the album on vinyl, there's no need to get the Collectors.

Anyone know if the Appendix is included in the Collectors? Or what the pressing numbers are on the Appendix variants?

It’s pretty uniform already, it just needs a white band that says LP7 on the side also in white letters 😎

Nah I mean like, the same size/style box, the belly band, similar remastering, etc

Yeah I'm sure they'll do Untitled for uniformity.  I'd also be super down for a B-Sides box, I'd love to have them on 12" rather than scattered 7"s.

So good, need to digest it more, but I think I also like it more than ULTRAPOP.  Not sure if it will surpass UNTITLED or Only Love, but it's definitely top three.

I think the only record of theirs that actually sounds good to me is my 2nd press of Tunnel Blanket, all the others are not so good which is a shame

Which variant? I've been meaning to pick up a copy of Tunnel Blanket for a long time.

Not stupid at all. My copy of Another Language was so bad that I actually stopped listening to their music. I was appalled they would even let something like that out to the public and charge money for it. My copy sounded like gravel. You can’t even hardly hear the music. It turned me off to them so much and I’ve not been around to listen again since.

I'm not a variant collector, so I can't comment on which copy is better than others.  But I personally have a Copper variant that sounds decent: https://www.discogs.com/release/6073717-This-Will-Destroy-You-Another-Language

What variant did/do you have?

I've thought about making a thread like this for many years but never got around to it.  I'm not even sure if anyone else cares, lol.

If you've bought TWDY vinyl I'm sure you're aware that the quality is usually very lacking.  But there is the odd pressing that sounds okay (or even good!).

Do we still have TWDY variant collectors hanging out here?  I'm curious if we can come to a consensus on what the best quality pressing of each album is.

Is this a stupid thread?

They reached out to me and asked how I knew it was a not an LP????

lol wut

Yeah... going to hold out for other options 

EL-P is not a feature I was expecting

Also pleasantly surprised to find that all of these songs are new.

Posting for that star, but holding off from ordering anything until there is an announcement

Dispute the charge. You may wind up having to explain to a bank employee the difference between LP and 12” but they are technically advertising a 4 track EP on 12” vinyl as an LP so it should be sufficient grounds for a chargeback.

This likely would work, however be prepared that Down Right will ban you from using their website again (which sounds like it may be a none issue anyway).

EDIT: Actually they'll simply accept "The item hasn't shipped yet, I don't want to wait, and they are refusing to cancel to refund."

It's available again. Maybe they took it down to try to create more hype? Idk

probably just verifying/cancelling multiple orders, etc.

Norma Jean and Zao, are theses folks bible thumpers?

I like it 🤷‍♂️

That was a great read. I still just assume any details I hear about the band are a ruse. Hopefully one day we will get a complete history. 

We're pretty sure the majority (but definitely not all) of the info in this article is correct

Anyone seen pressing numbers anywhere for the variants?

Awesome. Also now we finally know for sure how badly we are getting shafted by labels at nowadays' 2xLP prices of $40-$50 if cost is only $7.

Nah, I'm sure the price is not reflective of a normal situation.  I'm sure they got the replacements at a very discounted price themselves due to the fuck up.
