ode to youth

I totally agree with this, I’ve been buying vinyl for close to 20 years now and I’d give anything to go back to when I thought £20 for an album was too much! The overpriced records of the last few years have honestly priced me out of buying a lot of things I’d usually have gone for and this is one of them. I can’t justify the shipping cost to the uk as I missed out on the eu store so only option is buying form the states, the same as most releases. It just isn’t sustainable any more and it just feels like a lot of collectors now are new to it and don’t see anything wrong with dropping £50 on an album which is just obscured in my eyes, I don’t understand how this is the new normal for vinyl prices and that’s even before shipping!

Mine arrived today and it’s great, the photo book that comes with it is a nice addition. They did a great job with this. Just need to find some time to spin it and see how it sounds.

Just got a shipping confirmation for the uk variant(enemy ink). I actually forgot about it so was confused about what I’d ordered! Anyway, excited to finally get this in my hands!

Anyone looking for this in the uk be patient, banquet records seems like they’ll have it in. On the sing the sorrow album it has this written under it HOLD TIGHT FOR OUR PRE-ORDER. For now, just click the Notify Me button. The 20th anniversary vinyl reissue of this legendary album from AFI, originally released in 2003 and became an instant-classic in post-hardcore / emo.

As much as I want a 20th anniversary repress of this album (expanded artwork, notes from the band unheard demos and b sides) I just can’t see it happening. I’ve seen so many people post about how they know someone on the inside and “it’s coming just be patient” I just don’t think they’re a band that will ever get a back catalogue repress.

Here’s to hoping that once the box sets start shipping they announce more releases. Already have a gambling problem picture disc but tempted with the repress. Hoping that we get a Finch repress down the line but does anyone know if the bands are getting money from these? I was listening to a podcast with Vinnie from the movielife the other day and he was talking about vinyl and didn’t mention anything about this repress so do the bands even know they’re coming? If not are they getting paid???

Agreed, the signed postcard should really be a free extra that they should throw in, not charge extra for! Maybe don’t advertise it and have it as a little surprise for people to find

Went for banquet, Brooklyn vegan was a nicer pressing but more expensive to ship to the uk. Either way I’m just excited for the new music so doesn’t really matter what the vinyl looks like right

Anyone know what shipping to the uk is like from Brooklyn vegan?

So what are people’s thoughts on the new EP after having it for a weekend? personally I think this has got to be one of my top releases of the year. Day one and Holier are on constant repeat, I can’t get enough of them.

Sold out as I was checking out had it in my cart! They really need to sort something so it’s safe if it’s in your cart! Have the double on clear vinyl but would be lovely to have a single LP version of this

So I’ve only just got into thrice! I don’t know how but I never listened to them when I was younger even though all my friends did. Funnily enough it was the new album which drew me in which I absolutely love, it’s one of my favourites from last year. So going back through their discography I was listening to The Alchemy Index last week and saw the repress of it too late but when I checked the UK site they had 16 copies left. It was a no brainier purchased that straight away! I’m so glad I didn’t miss out on this I can feel it’s going to be one of those records that you shouldn’t pass up on. Orders aren’t shipping till next week so It’s a long wait till I can get my hands on it but it’ll be worth it.

I totally agree with this! It was great that dine alone finally re pressed these even if it was black and we all know that they were snapped up by flippers anyway! But don’t get upset about black pressings. If you’re only in it for pretty records then don’t buy the black and complain.

Someone get this guy a job working for the AFI merch team! https://m.imgur.com/gallery/loGxkMF

Standard vinyl link up on their site now. Link takes you to the revolver site. Still $93 for a triple lp is rediculous! I’ve paid $25 for similar albums before

Sold out already!

Got my 'Shell' variant in the post yesterday and for anyone who was concerned about it having a lot of surface noise, it doesn't or at least mine doesn't but I gave mine a clean before spinning it and it really does depend on what you're playing it on too. I see a lot of people complaining about surface noise and other things with vinyl and I can honestly say that giving it a clean and investing in a decent player definitely pays off! On another note the album is killer and 100% my album of the year, not sure if anything is going to top this in terms of quality in music and overall packaging. Lenticular cover, glow in the dark vinyl, 2 inserts and a poster with a gatefold jacket! I've bought double LP's in a single jacket with no inserts before (normally a trait of hip hop albums it seems) which is just lazy and unimaginative. anyway hope everyone else is enjoying the album.

Got my package in the post today no insert for LP2 and only managed to get 1 song from the download card, not happy at all! anyone else manage to get all the tracks and would be able to share them with me?

Got my shipping notice too, can’t wait for this to arrive!

Does anyone have a copy of this on white vinyl that they’d be willing to sell?

Yeah I’m hoping that doesn’t sell out before Tuesday! Been waiting for payday to grab a bunch of the new Single Mothers stuff that went up but I’ll also be getting that too. I have the first press in black but can’t resist that clear/white smoke variant!

Mine arrived yesterday and I’ve got to say that although the vinyl itself looks great I’m really disappointed in the packaging it feels so cheap! The sleeve is so thin and the card it’s made of isn’t great quality, I was expecting more for the for the price! Oh and the scratch and sniff smells like card!

My Bronx I and III albums came in the post on monday and finally got a chance to spin them today and III sounds so good, glad they finally pressed this on vinyl. If anyone hasn't seen the difference in colours to the Australian press here they are. if anyone picked up II, is it a gatefold like the first press i didn't pick it up as i already own the first one!

Thanks man i'll have to pick up that Spinnerette LP been searching for that at a good price for a while i gave up on the pink one! i'll forever be kicking myself for not buying the pink one off the Hassle records site when they had it.
