Over on their bandcamp, Past Inside The Present has put 11 of their beautiful coloured vinyl albums from 2020 on sale for $11 each. You may not like all of them but I'll bet you like many of them.

I actually saw the ebay listing first. On Plaid Room I paid $27.99 (and I bought a second record, so no shipping charge). Plus, Plaid Room charges me no tax to ship to California - EBay charges 10% tax. So, for me, cheaper from Plaid Room direct.

Plaid Room has 5 copies of the clear variant back in stock now for immediate shipping. $50 order = Free Shipping, too.

Agreed with the naysayers on the book. Jeez, from the photos on the order page it looks like a hard-cover tour program book (with grainy black and white photos, no less). 240 pages, but with every photo taking 2 pages and each paragraph of text taking 2 more pages, there's almost nothing there.

The vinyl pressing of Carl Stone's 'Stolen Car' is cheap at Amazon now. Pre-orders are just $16.98 with free prime shipping. The same LP costs $28 plus shipping from Carl's bandcamp. It's a very loud and abrasive record, judging from the samples online.

Temporary Residence is having a sale today on their Bandcamp page for "dented" LP's. Several Explosions In The Sky titles are included. There's also a colored repress of William Basinski's Lamentations up there today in a limited edition of 500. https://temporaryresidence.bandcamp.com/merch

Cabaret Voltaire is essentially a Richard H. Kirk solo project now. Their latest, Shadow Fear on purple wax is on sale through Amazon now for $12.66 with free prime shipping. Lowest price I've seen by a wide margin. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GFSZGCS

Evanescence has a new album coming, 'The Bitter Truth' on March 26, 2021. Their website shows the black vinyl and other options. https://evanescencestore.com/store I see at least one variant: clear vinyl offered for pre-order at Vinyl Renaissance (and probably other places): https://vinylren.com/evanescence-the-bitter-truth-exclusive-clear-vinyl/

I see that BullMoose has been sold out of the black vinyl / Mirriboard release for some time. Today, Vinyl Renaissance has put it up for pre-order. $29.99 with free USA shipping at $50. No sales tax either. https://vinylren.com/stereolab-switched-on-vol-4-mirriboard-lp-po/

The Album Leaf is releasing the score to the film 'Synchronic'. The album is a limited 2LP colored vinyl project. The email that Album Leaf sent out seems to say that Milan Records is only handling the digital and CD release: Album Leaf is doing the vinyl release on its own label. I think I got that right. https://shop.merchcentral.com/collections/eastern-glow-recordings/products/the-album-leaf-synchronic-lp-preorder

No, you know what? I'm not thinking clearly. I've waited a long time for this. Here it is. $56 shipped to the USA for limited 3LP vinyl. I pay that much for Caretaker records. God bless America.

Man, I can't do it. Can't pay $26 shipping to USA. Anyone see another option?

Record Exchange in Boise had all 8 variants in stock - 1 of each - priced at $39.99 - instore about an hour ago.

Glen Hansard's new 2LP 'Live At Sydney Opera House' is rush-released this month in Ireland only. Limited silver vinyl and larger-pressing clear vinyl are on sale now for shipment this month. Shipping prices to the USA are very high, however. The website says there will be a regular worldwide release in early 2021 for those who care to wait. https://store.dublinvinyl.com/pages/glen-hansard

Canterbury Records in Pasadena California has multiple copies of Fountains of Wayne, Kids See Ghosts, Bill Evans, and others. Right now the store is empty of customers. I don't think they do mail order though
