If you're in Toronto, Sonic Boom just got some copies. Really wish they would mention that these would be available in Canada at the outset before ordering from Sub Pop and paying shipping. https://www.instagram.com/p/BAPmWGGkYDb/

Me too - going to the Toronto show.

First bump of 2016

Surprised no one has posted the 15% off code yet (online orders only): NEWYEAR15 Expires Jan. 3, 2016 @ 11:59pm PST.

bump - new stuff added

Bump

Just got an email from TRL stating that these are still in queue for production (since July). Looks like these won't ship until well into the new year.

Anyone else get a shipping notice from Sub Pop? I thought this wasn't being released until late January? Also, the first pressing on green is apparently sold out, but there's a second pressing on white up for preorder.

Some sad news as Vortex Records at Yonge/Eglinton is closing. This was the first store I ever bought vinyl records from while in still in high school down the road. Sad to see it close, but at least it isn't due to gentrification. If you've never been there, go visit one of the hidden jewels left in this city before it closes! http://www.blogto.com/music/2015/12/vortex_records_to_close_after_nearly_40_years/

They've started to put new used stuff in milk crates on the floor across from the cash register. The crazy part is that eventually most of the stuff sells. I tried selling some rare stuff there and I wasn't impressed with the money they offered or how they handled my records (they returned them with inserts missing that they carelessly dropped on the floor and without the outer sleeves). I'm lucky I actually noticed and called them out on it. Tiny Record Shop gets most of my business for rare stuff now. The prices aren't any better, but at least I know Trevor brings all his stuff back from overseas personally. The new used crates at Rotate are actually quite well-stocked. I was surprised with a few things I found in there, but nothing I was specifically looking for, so I left stuff there for others who would want it more. I wouldn't say there's a ton of rarities, but definitely better stuff than what usually languishes in the regular used shelves.

Rotate does have a new arrivals section. It's on the other side of the cash register where the regular section begins. They also put up a lot of new releases on the wall across from the register. I actually interviewed for a job at Criminal Records once, but they were younger than me and didn't seem as focused on the important stuff.

Yeah, Rotate is still my favourite in the city, but their used section is getting messy. Last time I was there, they had a bunch of new used arrivals in milk crates on the floor by the cash register. My knees started to hurt after about the sixth crate. They do put some of the more collectible stuff up on the walls, though (plus they don't gouge as much as Sonic Boom). Sonic Boom's used bin at the front has better movement, but their collector wall is nuts with the prices they're asking.

Newbury Comics reissue on deep blue/sea green up for pre-order: https://www.newburycomics.com/collections/exclusive-vinyl/products/mono-hymn_to_the_immortal_wind_exclusive_2_lp?variant=11394512198

The reissue of Silent Alarm is also cheaper there than on the Witchita site. Ordered both, thanks!

Ditto. Hopefully it arrives soon (or I at least get a shipping email).

bump!

Black Friday weekend sale going on currently at the Rockstar Warehouse for 40% off: http://www.rockstarwarehouse.com/store/tk2rstar/en_US/pd/productID.316980100

Sweet!

Yeah, I was at Sonic Boom a couple days ago and they had regular black copies of YFIIP and S/T.

Another Torontonian checking in. I know there's a considerable amount of locals on this board.

Yeah, Christian told me the same thing. Apparently they just have some rights issues that they're sorting out, but all their albums will be out on vinyl eventually.

Got my JW shipping notice earlier today, so they're slowly getting through the backlog.

All the coloured versions are sold out on Pelagic's site. Guess I slept too long on this one.
