36-Josue

Arrived on Friday. 
 
looks like the guy who signed Kendricks albums got a new gig

 

 

"crematorium" 
 

Finally after all these years we get Mr. Muggs in full studio quality on 180g black audiophile vinyl. I am glad they left Frances the Mute and Rubin's Concertina to fit this masterpiece in the set twice. 

Maybe we'll get to buy FTM single for a marginal fee of $25.

Don’t forget the two pins. 

What if FTM is engraved into the box and we have to buy a specialty turntable with 4 inches between the platter and needle so we can play it?

I for one don’t care for etchings in any way shape or form. It’s definitely not a selling point in my mind, I would rather have a blank side than have a price increase for an etching I will never look at for more than a second to see what side the music is on. 

*confirming that it's a bomb ass pressing for anyone who is still debating

Fat beats has it up for pre-order, just grabbed mines.

"We just found a box of the Japanese pressing of Soft Sounds From Another Planet on orange vinyl. 
Only 60 copies available and then they're all gone.

I'm a genuine Frank Ocean fan, the only way to listen to this was to watch the movie and ain't nobody got time for that. Fight me

these types of releases always turn the thread into a complaint hotline when it's over. I don't get it, everyone gets plenty of notice and is guaranteed it won't sell out yet people's money problems make it a shitty thing?
im really sorry you guys didn't have the money on release day but to sit here and complain about your money issues as a way to shit on the release is ridiculous. it always helps to have an emergency fund/credit card for stuff like this...

yea, a bit odd. it was hard as hell to get clear pictures because of my shite phone but I just double checked the matrix numbers on the records as well as the barcodes and they all match the ones listed in the discogs release page

Contact Newbury and have them send you a new one. Post this picture up on social media so it gives them a bad look lol

In honor of their pricing, I've redesigned Newbury Comics' exclusive logo, which I'm allowing them free use of.
 
It's a little NSFW.
 
 

You'll need to really seek into your soul to answer this one.

This red HHV version is official, not a boot.

Didn't consider it might be unofficial. I have the hhv.de Shades of Blue and it at least sounds great, and I also know their Malibu exclusive was released roughly around the same time as other variants. Would be nice to get confirmation from the retailer or label though
 
Description also says it "Comes on 180g vinyl with gloss dispersion varnish on matte gatefold sleeve." I'm pretty sure the current copies are a gatefold with gloss dispersion varnish for the DAMN text and the rest of the sleeve is matte. Would a bootlegger bother with these different sleeve materials just to recreate the official press?

Customer service will need your help, but if you follow our instructions, you'll be golden. Or blue.
Thanks!

Is this a different version? is the TDE shop version opaque or translucent? my mind is racing trying to figure out what to do lol 

While the US store is now sold out there are still copies available on the UK store.
They went up the next day after the US store got them.
Initially they were priced €26.99 (I dont know why but I now see that I was charged €26.09) but a couple of days later they went up to €37.99

Shipping to Greece was €10.61
Maybe it ll be similar for US addresses and if you are lucky they ll retract VAT because you are a US citizen.

I saw Thom Yorke in a grocery store in LA today. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn't want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, "Oh, like you're doing now?"
I was taken aback, and all I could say was "Huh?" but he kept cutting me off and going "huh? huh? huh?" and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw Thom trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like "Sir, you need to pay for those first." At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually "to prevent any electrical infetterence," and then turned around and winked at me. I don't even think that's a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
