I'm not sure how I feel about this but as a child of the 80's, there is something to be said for having kids oriented vinyl available so maybe this isn't the worst thing in the world. The only records I was allowed to touch as a kid were my own (Disco Duck, etc) and they were titles like this until I was old enough to go to the store and pick something out myself.

This pressing is really solid, imo. I grabbed it based on the feedback of a Vinyl Community member on Youtube that does a lot of jazz reviews. He collects Music Matters, Analogue Productions, etc. The feedback on this was that he thought it sounded as good as his Analogue Productions copy. Here's the video he did on it:

I am ready.

Thanks for consistently posting these updates.

FTFY

This would be really awesome. Hate trolling Discogs for copies of this hoping somebody loses their mind and sells one for less than $50....

^ Nice win!

GoHastings is at it again with a 30% off select vinyl with code: SPINTHIS https://www.gohastings.com/

GoHastings is full of surprises. The last go round of the 30% discount I picked up a Eric Dolphy's "Out to Lunch" jazz LP that was marked low at $10.63 fully expecting the cheap 75th Anniversary Blue Note reissue version. So the album arrives today and it's the Music Matters, numbered, 45-rpm pressing which had sold out at the retail for $49 on the MM site. Between this and snagging that Kings of Leon box set for $12.99, the vinyl gods of good deals have smiled on me this week. /end boast

Yep, I'm definitely catching noise on side B, tracks 6 & 7. Track 8 on side B is perfectly quiet, though. I'll have to give it a cleaning & revisit.

I appreciate the quick turnaround on the seem split with on my copy. Excellent album, and excellent customer service. Thanks.

Snagged Detroit show tix as well.

PM'd.

So are they replacing split seem jackets or were you guessing that they would if followed up on? Mine came with a split seem as well. I always assumed we had to eat it & smile (insert David Lee Roth joke). Completely agree with the ability to request shipping outside the jacket. Would be great if this was more of a standard practice by everyone.

Snagged the milky goodness.

I didn't see it brought up in this thread but VMP is testing an exchange program where they allow you to take the future AOTM and exchange it for one of the 2015 AOTM titles only. For example, if you didn't like next month's Fugees, you could contact them and they would allow you to substitute it for Father John Misty or Black Sabbath. Of course it has to be done before shipping, etc. Might work well if you're a part time lover, but if you were in it for the full year of 2015, then it doesn't really have much value as you already have everything.

Still up this morning. Snagged one, thanks.

Low Flying Hawks have an album out this week called "Kofuku" on Magnetic Eye Records. Double LP vinyl can be found here with three tracks streaming. The band features Dale Crover (Melvins) on drums. They also have a code VDAY20 for 20% off that is valid until 2/14. [yt] [/yt]

I hope a Detroit date is part of this tour. Torche was pretty awesome when they came through last year. http://www.theprp.com/2016/02/02/news/dates-leak-for-rumored-kvelertak-torche-wild-throne-tour/

Graves At Sea's "The Curse That Is" is up on Relapse. The Deluxe sold quickly but the blue/gold merge looks kinda purty. http://www.relapse.com/graves-at-sea/ Since I'm usually only a reader & not a poster to this thread, I'll get my posting's worth with this one. On a separate subject, Consequence of Sound did a list of metal albums to watch for 2016. CoS isn't exactly the epicenter of all things metal & I'm not sure how I feel about their referring to 2016 as a year of metal renaissance but whatever. It's a decent list. http://consequenceofsound.net/2016/01/the-20-most-anticipated-metal-albums-of-2016-mm/2/

Nice! I'm kinda hoping the b-side to Fortress is whatever this song is that they played on this last tour. I can't seem to find a name for it the last time I searched but they play it in this video and when I saw them in Detroit. The song starts at 29:40 minutes in & it's badass.

Got my shipping notice today, then got emotionally mugged a few hours later. Drag City's got some lag in their network.

Do you know the name of Charlie's new band?

This is great to hear. I've been wrangling with whether or not to pick up this box set. Now I can cherry pick the specific titles I want from it.
