This German site has an /75 repress of Prayer for Cleansing's The Rain in Endless Fall. They did a run of 500 total last year over a couple variants, now it looks like 500 more this year from what I can gather (425 on white and 75 of this blue variant):
Prayer for Cleansing "The Rain in Endless Fall" Transparent Blue Splatter | Occult Vibrations
Only spot I've seen the white for sale is here:
Prayer For Cleansing - The Rain In Endless Fall LP | Wanna Hear It Records (wannahearitstore.com)
White is retail color!
To Live a Lie will have more colors soon. Occult Vibrations is the guitarist's store from PFC so he has some to sell for Europe since he lives over there.
There should be plenty this go round!

We got our awesome plant to squeeze in a second press for us! There are 8 coke bottle clear copies left in store. Jon will likely sell most of this second press on tour with Old Gods this summer so if you want one don't snooze.
This second press is numbered out of 200 copies. They fade to black consecutively. At 1 they start out pink with black smoke and more and more black is added so they go to transparent maroon dusky pink to very dark maroon (a little transparent) and then as they get closer and closer to 200 they become fully black.
The first press had pink but they were all pure pink. These are easy to tell apart because there are no pure pinks just pink with black smoke.
If you have a preference, you can put it in the comments and I'll see what I can do based on what's left.

There are only 14 copies of Junebug on vinyl left in the first press. We are looking at a second press now but just wanted to give folks a warning on the coke bottle clear copies.
-
Bump. All orders are out. Junebug is almost gone too. I've got like 25 left of the first press. Looking at getting a repress soon. I'm betting this tour with Old Gods of Appalachia will probably finish off both presses so don't snooze if you might want one.
-
Got most of the first wave of orders packed and shipping labels printed last night. Gonna drop off at post office today. Thanks!
-
Starting to pack these up. They look and sound great. You can check the Bitter Melody IG to see video of the vinyl and hear it.
-
It's up!
We have a handful of copies of Junebug left and also some leftover shirts from the shirt preorder we did a couple weeks ago!
-
Some of you picked up JCD's Junebug LP from a couple years ago. This is his first LP written in 2016. It was originally released as CD and digital only but after the success of Junebug and while we wait for his new record we wanted to give his first record a proper vinyl treatment. He's going out on a nationwide tour with Old Gods of Appalachia podcast this year which is going to keep him very busy.
We redid the artwork and added two live bonus tracks. Mastered for vinyl by Jamie King. It sounds amazing. There is no preorder, this is in hand and will begin shipping immediately. It is limited and pressed on 180 gram black vinyl housed in a black poly lined dust sleeve. First 40 orders will get a free sticker sheet. We only have about 40 copies left of his other album Junebug as well.

On sale today at NOON EST!
You can hear the record here: https://joncharlesdwyer.bandcamp.com/album/between-the-hallelujahs
Thanks!

It is still my favorite album of the 2000s. Just a goddamn phenomenal record. "The Reasons" was the first dance at my wedding!
In related news, JKS and Christine Fellows just put out an album of instrumental music except for the last track, which is JKS singing and includes the Weakerthans' rhythm section. It's the closest we've gotten to a new Weakerthans song in a loooong time:
Damn I missed this when it went up. Thanks Scott. I love JKS so much. Wonder if they will press this one? I've bugged them about pressing Millennium for All and Fantasy Baseball but haven't been able to get anywhere with Epitaph licensing or JKS direct. I talked to Christine a little bit about some things.

It's not that much compared to some other labels
Yeah. It's a decent deal. Cost wise most places charge 40-50 bucks per to make them plus you have the cost of two records in each one. I looked into doing one but I'd be making less on them than a regular copy, didn't seem worth it to have all the expense even though they are super cool looking.

We have a new shirt for Jon up for preorder at Bitter Melody. We are pressing Jon's first record to vinyl now and Jon is gearing up for some big shows this year so this shirt is to help us with both of those things. Printed on Gildan Hammer.

If you've been missing Jon there's a new track through the Old Gods of Appalachia podcast bandcamp. We are also working on something special to fill in this gap while we are waiting on a new LP. More on that soon.

Spaced and Zulu basically did the same thing right? I like that approach. Although I also really like the 7" format and it's unfortunate that it's become so costly to make them.
Yeah. I like this approach too. Sometimes bands say no to that because they start to not like the ep or demo prior. I've tried this a few times and been told no by bands. With the High Cost LP I asked if they had any other songs to add. Turned out they had two songs recorded just no vocals so we got those finished and added them to fill out the LP.
-
Just talked to my shop and they got one yesterday so I'm gonna head to get it after work.

Yeah, that makes total sense. Coming from someone that has six 75ct 7" boxes almost entirely filled up, I've bought next to zero new 7"s in the last few years (but have purchased single-sided 12" EPs), solely because as a consumer I couldn't justify $10-12 for one. These are the times I suppose.
Yeah. I guess you could argue for bands to wait to record until they have a solid 25+ minutes but we all know that's not going to happen especially in hardcore. haha

Loving the new songs. I wish bands would stop pressing 10 minutes of music onto a 12" EP though.
Unfortunately I think that's the way it's going to be from now on. 7"s historically don't sell very well and it's no longer 3 bucks to press one. You are lucky if you can get it done for 5ish bucks per and then you factor in the percent to the band, the percent you lose with paypal processing you have to sell them for 8+ and then hope you make your money back which you have to sell almost all of them to do. Making money is almost impossible for most releases on 7". OR you can press it on an LP for 8-9 bucks packaged and sell it for 18-25 (label depending) and double your money per record. I've said I wouldn't do anymore 7"s as a label but I have done one or two splitting it three ways with other labels but I don't think I'll ever do a 7" solo as a label again unless pricing drastically changes.

Does anybody know if they are going to continue this series or did they abandon the vinyl aspect altogether?
I heard somewhere that they have the next couple pressed but there was an unspecified hold up at the distribution place that adds the records to the comics and sends it out. It is definitely a crazy mess. I mean they are through issue 10 now. It wouldn't surprise me if it doesn't fall apart at some point and they stop.

We have a new 90s style vegan metalcore EP up for order now. Vegan Justice FFO Day of Suffering, Earth Crisis, and xRepentancex. http://bittermeodyrecords.bigcartel.com RED Vinyl 7" is our color. We have limited amounts of tests and the yellow and green colors too.
Also if you missed out on a Gold copy of Indecision Unorthodox and want one, shoot me a PM. $25 ppd in US for the couple leftovers I have!
-
These are up now! Euro orders can get them from Ugly and Proud or Bound By Modern Age. I have red copies and a very very limited amount of tests and green and yellow copies. We have vinyl in hand but we are waiting on our covers still.
-
If anyone missed out on the GOLD LP and wants one I have a couple extra I ended up with $25 ppd in the US. Just shoot me a DM on here or IG.

Hey! I sent this promo code out in my email blast but I figured I'd share it here too. Use code: FREEITEM in my store and I'll send you a random free item in your order. If you are ordering tapes/7"s then that's probably what you'll get to fit the box best but if you order LPs I'll find a free LP I can send you.
