I've had the same issue...

Obviously my sarcasm didn't completely translate haha, I have no doubt the claim led to the cassette being sent... even still, I was surprised at that, as I'd thought OT had sort of ceased operations.

For what it's worth, my copy of Fog Lake's "Dragonchaser" cassette showed up today. Within the last two weeks I had finally opened up a paypal claim, expecting nothing to come of it and for a refund to eventually be sent, but it appears (or it's a complete coincidence) to have had some effect. It's a white cassette (rather than black as stated on the website) and numbered 19/100 (rather than the initial 150 claimed by OT).

There are still copies of the splatter available directly from Permanent: http://www.permanentrecordschicago.com/store/p3003/LP_-_Frankie_and_the_Witch_Fingers_-_Sidewalk_.html

Interesting: "Beyond Murder Of The Universe, the band will next release a jazz-based, improv- leaning collection entitled Sketches Of Brunswick East, whose name alludes to both Miles Davis’ Sketches Of Spain, the notion of sketches as outlines for ideas and all- round sketchy behaviour."

This record rules.

This seems like a long shot, but I know there was someone on here once upon a time that either had or was selling one of these... anyone have one they'd let go? Send a PM, thanks!

Promo of 'Perils' on discogs at a pretty fair price: https://www.discogs.com/sell/item/390006705

Unclear, but confirmed from the label 200 total promo copies (some clear with red/green swirl and some white with red/green swirl).

I've had confirmation from Vinyl Films via email that the white with red/green swirl copy of the Mark Kozelek Sings Christmas Carols LP that I picked up is just a variant towards the opaque end of the spectrum on the promo copies, not a unique edition. They also confirmed that all of this recently released backstock is emptied archive material coming from the label into the indie retail stores.

Haha, a couple good grabs for sure. The blue/grey listing and the original colored copies being a pretty solid blue is what made me suspicious, figured it was worth a chance...

My copy of Perils from the Sea arrived today and ended up being one of the promo clear with blue/grey swirl (as I'd suspected)-- just a head's up for anyone that ordered one from Melody Supreme, discogs lists them as limited to only 300.

I went with the body builder only... love that logo.

This.

Spoke with one record store today who said their copies (and I'm assuming the rest of these) came directly from Mark.

Yeah, it does have the sticker. "Mark Kozelek" in red, "Sings" in black, and "Christmas Carols" in green.

Speaking of promo versions, anyone ever seen one of these? I thought the "Sings Christmas Carols" promos were supposed to be clear with red/green swirl, but this one is opaque white with red/green swirl? I don't see anything listed on discogs... Should say too, this is one of the "recently made available" copies... just curious if it's a new edition or part of that promo 300.

Plenty of blue vinyl last night in Cincinnati and the 7" was still available well after the show (nothing to indicate there were only 10 copies)...

Anyone think the blue version is still available from her webstore? It says ***while supplies last*** but is still currently listed as blue opaque vinyl?

Kind of a bummer that this went straight from early pre-order status to being sold out with no updates from the label. I totally would have grabbed one, but like others I'm assuming, I was waiting for some more concrete info. Guess I'll wait for the black vinyl set this fall... seems a little suspicious that 2000 of these would have sold out on white vinyl?

Anyone heard any updates re: this release? The street date is Friday, but that seems unlikely?

Reposting this here in case anyone in the US is still looking for one of these at a non-discogs price:

100% backed. Mike (suicidekills) has helped me out, via another message board, with RSD items I was hunting for a number of years now. The staff at Exile are always friendly, helpful, and absolutely credible. Give them a call to support a great store and the good people running it.

A. I wouldn't expect a reply from this seller. My discogs invoice remains 'open' (they've never bothered to cancel the order) and they never replied to any of my messages asking for further information... B. The j-card on original copies is printed on what I'd describe as heavy cardstock.

I sent him a PM questioning the validity of the item on discogs a day ago... no reply there and now the listing on eBay ends early... not surprising.
