it's true that these recent 2LPs have been pretty expensive, but they do a really nice job with the packaging. their stuff used to be fairly cheap, but so were the sleeves. it's nice that they can give these marquee albums solid presentation outside of the vinyl color.
I agree and while $36 is a bit more than I like to spend on an album, Thee Oh Sees are one of those bands I'd like to see do well enough that they continue to make music so I have no qualms about supporting their efforts. Their concert tickets are usually pretty cheap in my area so I feel like there's a balance in there as well.

Picked up the Bloodshot Eyeball edition.

Not quite my cup of tea, but Seth Bogart's self-titled album is this week's $10 Weekly Steal at Amoeba.

Finally a chance to pick up Louder Than Love for a reasonable price. I hope the remasters are of good quality.
For Prime members, it's the same price as the Soundgarden store: https://www.amazon.com/Louder-Than-Love-LP-Soundgarden/dp/B01I0M1A8A/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1467914507&sr=8-2&keywords=soundgarden+louder+than+love

The new album on Castle Face this week, ORB, sounds pretty awesome. Here is their bandcamp link: https://orband.bandcamp.com/album/birth

Strange, nothing as of yet, but it seems like I'm always a few days behind others, being in Michigan.
Am in metro-Detroit myself. Can confirm that shipping here seems to lag a few days.

Looks like folks pre-ordering from In the Read have already received their LPs this week. According to Midheaven, where I pre-ordered, all formats release July 1st but vinyl is July 15th. Hopefully they'll ship sooner, but as of now it does not show as shipped.
I preordered back in May from ITR but still haven't rec'd mine yet. Anyone else not get theirs from ITR?

What surprises me in this that on some level is that it's a small marketing/PR miss on TDE/KL's behalf. Where are the Instagram/Facebook photos of him signing the thousands of the CDs & vinyl? If it's legit, why not have fun with it and promote that he's doing it? It promotes him, the album, strengthens KL's image of integrity, maybe catches a few music blogs attention, etc. Basically keeps him in the news on a positive front while promoting his music/brand.
Clearly looking too deeply into this as I'm still changing the bandages on my butt hurt.

I'm embarrassed that I let me enthusiasm for this get the best of me. I'm even more ashamed for not canceling when I realized this was going to be the shit show it is.
Confession over.

got my copy yesterday. only got to spin side a, but it was pretty damn sweet. anyone get the useless eaters or male gaze?.
I picked up both and they're both really good, imo. Male Gaze has a few songs that are pretty catchy on this album and overall it's got a great vibe. They didnt' stray too far from their last album but seemed to have branched out enough to make it feel fresh. I'm kind of a big
dealUseless Eaters fan so it would take a lot to disappoint me. The synths seem more prominent on this album and they seem to be trying out some new sounds like the song "Hogs in the Bush". I think it rips as much if not more than Bleeding Moon. -

I almost started a post on this one myself last week when I ordered a clear copy. Really looking forward to this release. One of the few bands that I have chased down all of their albums & almost all of their singles although it's not hard to do as their catalog isn't huge. Definitely one of my favorites.
A killer song for fun:

Anyone order the new Famous Class DBA comp?
I pulled the trigger on the deluxe with Ty Segall 12". Lots of great bands on this one.

This is such a great deal. Sonic Youth's "Dirty" 2LP for the low low price of $12 as part of Ameoba's Wednesday deal. Don't think this one will last....

Was not expecting this much awesomeness in one week from CF. Thee Oh Sees was enough but couldn't pass on Male Gaze & Useless Eaters.

That tour is bullshit tho.
Yeah, they're skipping Detroit too which is a bummer. Looks like it's off to Cleveland for me.

Some awesome news right here:
Thee Oh Sees recently announced their Live in San Francisco double LP and concert film, out July 1. Today, the band have announced their next proper studio album to follow up last year’s Mutilator Defeated at Last. A Weird Exits is out August 12 via Castle Face. It’s the band’s first studio album where John Dwyer is accompanied by drummers Ryan Moutinho and Dan Rincon as well as bassist Tim Hellman. Along with the announcement, they’ve shared the album track “Plastic Plant.”
New song sounds awesome. Super geeked for this.

Looks like it's similar to, if not, a repress of this one: https://www.discogs.com/Tom-Petty-The-Heartbreakers-Greatest-Hits/release/1841848
I've been on the lookout for this particular one for a while but it's ridiculously expensive as you can see from the discogs history. Amazon's price tag is a little high but it's much cheaper than discogs.

I'm going to disagree with the other posters here, to me the package is a bit of a letdown. This should have a deluxe presentation like the Music Matters Blue Notes or the AP Prestige releases, but instead it's a standard thin cardboard gatefold, no glossy finish or heavy cardstock. The booklet looks nice, but the records come in cheap plain white sleeves and look a bit hazy and swirly. Additionally the first set I got had so much surface noise that I had to return it, Soundstage Direct was good enough to send a replacement that was an improvement but still a long way from the quality of MM or AP.
I'd love to get the Analogue Productions version but I think spreading the music over four sides really breaks up the flow of the music too much. It was conceived as two sides and I'd prefer to listen to it that way. Wish I could find a decently priced copy of the Speakers Corner pressing.
The package for this was a big opportunity for them and a big miss on their part. This is begging for a higher quality package than it has been given so far there are great examples of how this can be done right.
But just to be clear, when you're saying it's a long way from MM or AP, you're referring to packaging only not the pressing, correct? Or have you heard the AP version? I'd love to get another opinion on the pressing differences as I've kept myself open to the idea of picking up an AP version at some point

I agree. The domestic pressing surprised me with how much better it sounds than what I was expecting.
