Agreed on the Aaron West vibes. I feel like this is going to be a hard buy for me. I didn't like Sister Cities that much and barely spin that. These singles have been "fine." They do sounds they've done before really well.

Good catch. Hopefully we get a bunch of represses from the label combo then. Parting Gift has been doing a fine job with all their others, so could be great.

Also kinda sad because as far I can tell, not a single one of these variants has sold out. Pretty big fall from grace.

Got mine in. Can’t remember if they swapped out the mock for this one but the green/violet is pretty underwhelming. Also: kinda cool that they put the pressing numbers on the one-strip but then the bar code says the variant is “Apple Red” when it obviously isn’t. Shrink wrap is correct. I guess I could put the shrink sticker on the Obi if cared… That’s kinda a lame way to ruin a good idea.

I was trying to sell my AFI record after I decided I would just wait for an official release and it just keeps getting taken down. Guess I’m just holding on to it.

Got my copy in. No Gangsta Boo on Love Again. Which is made weirder by the fact that the lyric sheet has the lyrics for that verse.

And… plenty up on eBay for $130+ if you want them.

Grabbed a split. Their 7” was incredible. New song sounds great as well.

Urban Outfitter has adjusted the date on their store page and emailed me saying this is now coming July 22, 2022. I now have 11 records on pre-order that think they are going to come 7/22 or 7/30. These dates mean nothing to me at this point as it seems pretty clear that plants are just spitballing all of this and will absolutely bump up a bigger release over others.

Yeah, need to look at my copy again, but it seemed perfect. Sounds good, packaging fine, condition fine.

Honestly, we've seen precedent for this already with the Stick to Your Guns releases and a few others. US rights holders are being greedy with things, likely cheaper or easier to do things in the EU or UK, but not technically allowed to sell to the US. It was $44 shipped for me from Banquet (Paypal always uses a kinda high conversion rate). Honestly not horrible since basically every record is $30 shipped these days.

Shipping as well. Very nice to get a pre-order this early. My spreadsheet is going to generate some interesting info this year. My average delivery time is likely sitting at around 7 months.

Was about to order from their Bandcamp page, but couldn’t bring myself to do it.

Thank you! No record stores near me again this year, grabbed Gambino from them. That's all I really wanted.

Don’t mind the thread, but just in general with touring uncertainties and vinyl backups it seems like every band is taking the slow burn on album announcements, so it could honestly still be months away.

I was kinda waiting all week for this given their announcement. None of those variants sound great. Just grabbed an orange + splatter for now. Maybe a picture disc as well. I did lol at the charm pack in their store. I thought “are these pins?” But putting in their specific description of “croc charms” led me to find out people make “charms” or decoration for the holes in their croc shoes. Fascinating.

More copies up for sale.

At least 4 already up on eBay for $100+, someone is asking £800, or about $1,000USD

Shoot. Hungry Ghost was already sold out when I looked just now. Variant looks nice. Hopefully it wasn’t just scalpers and I can find it somewhere else.

where you getting them? My price was just PayPal/Discogs online.

You can report listings that don’t say it’s a preorder or that can’t ship within 30 days. I do it for almost every Mondo release, but don’t think it’s making that big of a difference.

Honestly, I would say that’s an accurate price. I ship pretty often. My discounted USPS media mail rate is about $5.20 right now. So add in the cost of a mailer, padding, and the time it takes to package it, you gotta charge something around there.

Actually, this 100% helped and I might use it on this type of store again (Shopify?). By putting a record in the cart and logging in with PayPal it cached all my details. So I just had three clicks. Add to cart, checkout, confirm.

EDIT: I know what day it is.

Nice. Grabbed a copy for $24 shipped from DeepDiscount. Hopefully they are able to fulfill it. Haven’t played the game but heard the soundtrack.
