Mine just showed up in Vancouver. The jacket is in ok condition except for the record slots, there are small tears at the edges, the records themselves were a bit loose but relatively in place, but there are still scuffs and what might be a bad scratch on the outer ring. The rings are also super fucking dirty. What bugs me the most is the tolerances of the rings, there's literally a 2mm gap between each one so each ring moves freely, I don't see how this is going to play (I'll find out shortly), really shitty job. Hopefully my order from Vitus is better but I'm not holding my breath.
 
**ok, gave it a listen:
-noisy as fuck. I'll need to give it a deep clean at some point.
-the wow & flutter is less than I was expecting given how sloppy the rings fit. at least there's no warp!
-I'm glad it doesn't transition between rings, the gap would have snapped the needle, but it basically makes it into listening to three 7"s
-most annoying record to flip ever?
 
They had it right the first time they released it: this is a record for hanging on your wall, this is not a record for listening. At least it came with the CD?

If you don't know StockX, it's a plague on the sneaker industry that has expanded to clothes, then toys like Lego and Funko, then graphics cards & PS5s, and now they're adding records. Basically anything someone can use a bot to buy up and then sell for 2-5x the original value while screwing over people trying to buy at retail is going to be resold on StockX by people that flip things for a living.
 
Will it really make a difference when we have Discogs and the like? Who knows. At the moment it seems to be 90% Travis Scott listings with a 20% markup in comparison to discogs, so the target market are resellers who don't give a shit about what they sell as long as they make a few bucks and Travis Scott fans\hypebeasts that buy a record to hand on their wall next to their Travis Scott Reese Puffs and McNugget pillow. I'm sure that even though they have their "authenticators", StockX doesn't know a damn thing about records. You can only list your ask, there's nothing about record condition to go through or anything, so if it's like sneakers and accessories, everything has to be 100% mint condition no exceptions, which is funny considering how many records come from labels with corner dings, sleeve tears and the occasional warp. Not to mention people are not going to know how to properly ship records.
 
So if you have a stash of mint sealed records from Travis Scott, Kanye or The Weeknd that you want to get rid of, you might be able to make a little more than you would off of Discogs. I hope it stays to just a selection of overhyped gimmick rap releases.

Damn, that’s a score! (Pun intended, I guess?) Seriously both happy for you and also jealous as hell.

Never give up! Glad that you get one!

I don't know if it counts but I just got in a copy of Bwana - The Capsule's Pride, which is a remix of the Akira soundtrack. been looking for a copy for years but the copies that come up on Discogs are more than I want to spend. I had put a chrome monitor extension on the label's bandcamp page a year or so ago, a few weeks ago my computer woke me up at 1am beeping and they put up a single copy. Pretty happy with a retail score even if the shipping from the UK was the same as the LP.

This is apparently a thing tomorrow (02-18-2021) at 9am PST. $5 for a record, hoodie and sandwhich.  I don't understand but what else am I going to do at 9am, my job? https://chkndrop.com

Announcement and new track/promo went up just over an hour ago, along with a tour announcement. http://www.youwillloveeachother.com 
 
The album (which is NOT the collab tracks they've been posting the last few months, which really needs it's own release) is on red vinyl or black vinyl, on cassette, and bundles with a shirt. Releases Feb 8th 2019.

As usual, call the number to talk to the band.
 

Five months later my cowboy bebop preorder finally shipped from amazon.ca

Keeping my eye on this. Trainwreck is one of my favourite albums and has a lot of meaning to me, I have the first pressing and CD but I'm down for another copy.

ended up getting hell songs in brown. super annoying that their broken website lets you add to cart, show it in the cart, but then says there's no stock on checkout

the new track is actually pretty good. I hope that's a good sign because everything else she's released recently suuuuuuuucks.

Hey guys! After much positive feedback we've realized that you sometimes need to polish your vinyl record discs on the go too! Listening to records while commuting is always the best option for quality vintage sound, but it can attract dirt like exhaust and snack crumbs, which is no good! To fix that, we'll shortly launch a second campaign for a handheld vinyl record polisher to take with you, so you'll always be able to see yourself in your vinyl records discs!
 
Stay tuned!

grabbed the limited for the hell of it, I'll give the album a proper listen to it tomorrow, but all I can think of while clicking through is this tweet (the second half):
 
 
especially Running Out of Time and A Boy is a Gun

i just talked to the guys in the band and they said that the Max Payne 3 soundtrack is coming out on vinyl later this year, they’re just waiting on Rockstar to get things finalized.
