SandwichRecords

I had to do it. I bought it.

I now own 1/4000 signed picture discs. 

The website now says, "Limited to 4,000." 

Signing 5,000 picture discs...  absurd.
 

Signing 4,000 picture discs... Vince is in. 

I never got a confirmation email so I contacted sandbag via their help section on the everythingnow website. They were super helpful, and I was able to purchase the one I wanted - nighttime (blue). Just a shout out in case anyone has a similar issue.

I recently saw TS in Pittsburgh. He had one ugly shirt for sale at his merch table, but there was a copy of almost every album of his on vinyl. So if you're going to see him, bring your money.

I posted in the RSD leftovers already, but that Robert Johnson set is incredible. If you have the complete collection already it's still worth seeking out if you can avoid flipper prices. The sound quality and sequencing is better, has an extra couple tracks and great linear notes. It's like he is in the room with you! You can definitely hear the shellac hiss but it kind of adds to the charm

I tried to get the RJ release on RSD, but couldn't find it. Out of curiosity, how much did it cost originally at most spots on RSD? That way I know how much a flipper is gouging me if I do spring for it. 

I showed restraint and only picked up 2 Muse and the Wilco. I originally added a lot more to the cart. Thanks for the heads up.

Insound is having a one day sale on some new titles they have in stock. Lots of Muse records but a few others too.

I'm not familiar with Merchandise Outlet.  Are they reliable?

I received my Low End Theory and Amy Winehouse records pretty quickly, and they are in great condition. Something about the shrink wrap seemed off. I suspected maybe they were wrapped a second time? But the records sound excellent and the sleeves are perfect.

The only odd thing about it is that they both smell like tires. That pungent smell of rubber at a tire store - that's what they smell like. I've had some cig smoke smelling records, but I've never had a record smell like a tire before.

That's actually kinda tight. I'll wait for it to be discounted though. 

My thought exactly.

I like my Japandroids records like I like my bread... marbled. 

PO SOON is such a let down. I want this now.

Some decent deals here:

http://merchandiseoutlet.com/entertainment/new-category-1/?sort=featured&page=1

E.g., Jack White - Lazaretto $9.99

Ziggy Stardust $12.99

 

Excellent! Just picked up Low End Theory for about half what Amazon is charging right now. Thank you!

I've enjoyed multiple purchases from popmarket; most recently a couple Spoon albums that were on sale. 

Prices: I agree with the above post that I really only gravitate to popmarket when I see pricing 30-40% lower than other sites. 

Selection: I'm enjoy when multiple albums by an artist or even an entire artist catalogue are up for sale on the daily deals. I'm not a huge fan of one off albums or deluxe editions as daily deals.

Customer Service: I haven't had to use it yet, and based on previous posts, I'm a little afraid.

App: Cumbersome at best. I got rid of it a week after downloading and reverted back to your website.

Personal Request: TV on the Radio, Arctic Monkeys, and Wilco would make nice album bundles. And I'd second the above post encouraging more indie labels.

Thanks for reaching out to VC. 

I love gold.

Just picked up the "electric blue" from VMP.  Still some left.

What do you guys do with the belly band? Keep it sealed and put it aside? Scared to put it back on, seems rather fragile...

Every time I listen to Side D, I put the belly band on my head. It helps me remember to put it back on the record.

Awesome price. I tossed the $20 at this instantly. I've loved all their stuff, and they always tend to stop in Pittsburgh on tour.

Belly band is there.

Well then clearly the $90 is warranted. 

(I already have my deluxe. I'm just bored with Pitt and UVA not stopping each other from scoring.) 

No belly band? I'm out. 

How many Stranger Things variants can possibly be issued?

I feel like I've seen a new exclusive, limited pressing, extra special, Stranger Things record every day for the past three weeks. 

On 10/12/2016 at 8:19 AM, AlexH. said:

Pretty sure each Newbury exclusive is just a variant of the regular pressing, so the packaging and pressing quality are determined by the label.

Good to know. I'll call off the NC boycott! 

I wasn't happy with my last NC purchase - MF DOOM Operation Doomsday. The quality of the press wasn't that great, and unlike what I said about the Fat Beats pressing of King Geedorah, Op Doom was a 2LP stuffed into a regular size sleeve with generic paper inners. Pretty crappy all around for the price. 

So I'm taking a break from NC until something entices me enough to give them another shot. If you have a better experience with King Geedorah, let me know.

Thanks man, I just found it.  Probably wouldn't have seen it if not for your assistance.  Packaging is really nice though and  I love the red

 

Agreed. The red looks great, and so far, they sound just as good. I normally am annoyed by a 2LP that's not double gatefold, but I'm cool with this packaging since it's thicker material and a little wider to hold 2LP.

Did anyone get their copy yet?

 

I just got mine from bullmoose (they still have the red with foil artwork)  Beautiful packaging but unfortunately not a gatefold and didn't come with a DL code.  (That bums me out the most)

I just got mine from Fat Beats. The DL code was a sticker on one of the inner sleeves. I almost didn't notice it. Check your inners.

The adhesive on the "do not discard" sticker seems to have dried up on my copy. Went to put something away and saw that it had broken. Put a piece of double stick tape on it and that seems to be holding it for the time being. Not sure if it has anything to do with me putting the vinyl in the white sleeves, turning it 90 degrees and placing it in those green cardboard sleeves or what? Not really that big of a deal, nothing happened to the actual reel tape but just kind of annoying. 

I saw the "do not discard" sticker and thought, I just paid $86 for you, you're not going to boss me around. I cut that crap. Then I discarded it. 

Naw. Actually, I carefully slid it back onto the records. Sweet, belly band.

I have a bit of glue along the inside back edge of the back cover. A little sticky but it's fine.

 

 

Mine had a little glue on the bottom of the inside front cover - a bit sticky. I thought it was odd, but just kind of shrugged it off. Good to see I'm not the only one with glue issues. 

Otherwise, I love the album.
