    This time I'll have to stay up all night for the other online stores to put their leftovers up... if I actually sleep, I know I'll sleep in... last year I woke up 5min too late, hah.

    This is me right now, debating on sleeping for 3.5 hours or just staying up. Hopefully Amoeba has PJ and The Cure, the only 2 releases I wanted this year.

    Praise be to super markdowns and 40% off sale. I went to all three Atlanta stores today, and picked up the following:

    Nosaj Thing - Fated
    DIIV - Is The Is Are
    Purity Ring - another eternity
    Jamie xx - In Colour

    ...for about $9. Total. For all four. This is the best thing ever omg

    I got super excited there was 40% off until I read your previous post haha. I def may have to go this Wed to see if there are any new markdowns though. Thanks for the tips.

    I think that I'm going to just buy one after the fact instead of signing up, as far as I can tell none of their releases have gained value so I'd rather buy a second hand one then pay the $29. And from what I'm hearing the $10 you get from the referral code you can only use in their store? (someone correct me if I'm wrong)

     

    They're already saying on their message board this will sell out given the hype of this record and people signing up left and right.  Also someone on r/vinyl that claims to work for VMP  said this is an exclusive and won't be getting any other reissues for awhile. The Avalanches and Anderson Paak variants shot up in value and those are minuscule compared to an actual Demon Days pressing imo, I wouldn't risk it and suggest you sign up if you don't want to pay a ton.

     

    the $10 credit can be used to reduce your membership also, so you'd only be paying $19 for the month. Just make sure you cancel before the new record is shipped or you'll be charged another month.

    No DL code, no inserts, just two LPs in a gatefold. Really pretty basic packaging overall.

    I only ordered AAEA since I have RTS but I expected this! It seems most of the major labels pushing out 90's/00's album reissues are doing so to make as much $ as they can, while providing the bare minimum. With the exception of DMB Crash, I can't think of anything off the top of my head that's  wow'd me in awhile.

    Obviously I don't buy every release so I'm sure there's great stuff out there, but just going off memory, Wallflowers, Ben Folds, and Squirrel Nut Zippers were pretty plain.

     

    I complain but will still give my money for certain releases JUST to have them on vinyl...at least they're doing gatefolds and not those god awful double album in one thin sleeve deals.

  5. I finally received my copy of the splatter today and this thing came out really high quality.  The splatter looks awesome,  the sleeve is thick and glossed, and a lyric insert is included.  The only gripe I have is the numbered sticker is on an outer plastic sleeve, which I'm not a big fan of...oh and that whole "delay without notification" thing.

    I've played it through once and it sounds great, no pops/noise etc. I couldn't turn it up too loud  so not sure if it's been remastered for vinyl or not (thanks pleb ears), but I'm happy with it.

     

    side note, I can't help picturing Castle Greyskull every time I look at this new art.

    Thanks for the tip on NFG. 

    Im going to take another pass at the Pasadena store, they have a ton of LP's there has to be something buried in there. It's the only store that I've only found one sale record. 

    I've been to Rancho, Irvine, and Brea so Pasadena is next on the list. If you look at the sale section on their site you can check store availability for the albums they still have listed to kinda know what to look out for.
