Anyone going to any of the forthcoming Neurosis concerts, that can help out with a tour variant (black) of the Neurosis/Jarboe LP? Had hoped they had brought some to the Berlin show but that wasn't the case.

/150 is still available if you buy the LP + CD bundle.

New vinyl PO of "De Nachten" and "Valentine's Day Session" up on Bandcamp: https://sophia.bandcamp.com/merch

You should avoid "The number of the beast" - compared to my dutch copy from the 80's it pales. The new press on 180 gram vinyl sound really compressed and drained of energy compared to my 80s copy. I'm not familiar with represses of the later 80's stuff but hearing "TNOTB" made me think that I'll just settle with my old copies. On the other hand the repress of "Brave New World" sounds fine.

They're up at Amazon.de as well (for about 25 Euro each).

The band is selling clear copies in their webshop (plus the other rare versions). https://www.realmofobscura.com/product/diluvium-lp-clear-vinyl/

I bought a black copy of "Catch Without Arms" on Equal Vision store last month ($24.99) - so you could keep an eye on their site and hope they'll put more up.

Mine is in the 8000s. So I guess 10000 at least. (Mine is bought in the EU)

Yeah, superfluous at best. We got the full Stage album with the latest boxset + as a standalone release. And Stage is not a good live album (IMO - come on, that keyboard-ladden version of Ziggy Stardust...) - the Cracked Actor release on the other hand was a great release. But I guess the Bowie vault to a high degree has been emptied (though the "Toy" album and leftovers from "1. outside" would be great). But I guess flippermania will be all over these releases untill people realize the pressingnumbers will be in 20000 or 30000-something.

Some Bowie stuff will be released for RSD: http://www.davidbowie.com/news/three-bowie-discs-rsd-2018-57661

"POP" and "ALL THAT YOU CAN'T LEAVE BEHIND" are on the way: 6/4 -18. https://www.gaffashop.dk/shop/u2-pop-2xvinyl-66967p.html?key=0602557969993&track=searchdbprodukter https://www.gaffashop.dk/shop/u2-all-that-66968p.html?key=0602557969887&track=searchdbprodukter

I'm fully aware that the clear version isn't available to the public, and thereby the rarest version - just wanted to point out that I think the version being sold at the shows could very well be the clear version (my LP was taken from a box that could possibly all be the clear version). So if anyone is going to the shows and is on the haunt for a clear version of the album, this could be the way to obtain it without having to pay $100 for it. Or it could just be pure luck that I got a clear version - but that is pretty easy to ask about at the show. As far as I can see on Discogs, the only clear version of Mareridt is the 2LP - there doesn't appear to be a clear single LP version of that album.

Saw Myrkur this past Friday and they had the deluxe 2LP in the merch band (priced at about 45 euro) - as it's sold out at Relapse I decided to buy it (though it was priced 30 euro at Relapse when they had it) - but I was surprised that it was the clear version I got. So if anyone is going to any of the upcoming concerts I guess you should know that it's the clear version being sold of the 2LP deluxe versions (or just ask at the merch stand if you can see the vinylcolor before buying). Don't know if any of the other LPs at the merch stand were clear versions, though.

I ordered from a Danish webstore where the boxset was listed at 50 euro - and I just got a cancellation (or I could keep the order at about 85 euro), because the price had been set at a wrong price. Don't know if JPC will do the same.

If you open the link that was posted there are two versions - 6LP at 70 Euro and 6LP + CD at 75 Euro. So I don't think it's some kind of lottery-thing - just a limited version at 5 euro extra for the CD.
