it's been down for a few weeks while they sort out the renewal process.

There were indeed two The '59 Sound. The original had Even Cowgirls Get The Blues as the b-side and the re-release had the version of State of Love and Trust included here. The majority of those KEXP tracks (American Slang, Boxer, Antonia Jane and Queen of Lower Chelsea) were from a radio session that Brian did in 2010 that's been available online since. They were later as a bonus cd (along with She Loves You and Tumbling Dice) on an Australian release of American Slang at some point too. It's weird to me that they're releasing the American Slang era singles on vinyl now when none of them were actually pressed back then.

El Jefe designed the shirt(and the club logo). The shirt is definitely not great. I feel like it needed the logo or the 45 adapter but not both.

someone that received their membership package a month ago got a number in the low 2000s. so not that limited at all but that won't stop people that missed out from overpaying for it.

The NPR stream started on 7/16. I went to the St Louis show on 7/13 and it hadn't leaked then. I'm still shocked that they were able to keep things under wraps until a week before the release. 45 and the live versions of Biloxi were out well in advance. Here Comes My Man (and the You Got Lucky cover) was inadvertently streaming on their website on 6/22 and then removed within 24 hours. It was played live a few times after that before the stream was available.

Definitely not. Signups for the fan club started on June 21 while Handwritten was released on July 24 (but was streaming on NPR the week before).

While the audio appears to be from the same show, it definitely wasn't just taken from the Youtube video. It's much, much better than that source and has to be from a soundboard/multitrack recording of the show.

someone let the domain expire. try http://thegaslightanthem.bigforumpro.com/forum

assuming the entire first press is blue, Amazon has it for $13.99
