mindovermatter

I'm still toying with the idea. I've never sold any tests. It kind of feels dirty, but it also feels weird to hoarde them. I've got at least one copy of everything except for Lights At Sea and The Skulx.

I'm sure both colors were pressed using the same plates and that the Amazon reviewers just have shitty turntables.

Might be interested in the ITTCT tour LP. Let's chat!

Confirmed. The OG vinyl press has a solid black embossed cover with the Beatles art as an insert. One of the CD versions has the Beatles art on the cover.

Let's bring this back to the front for the Saturday crowd

Yo. Up late? Stream the full Glassfield album over at our bandcamp (click the album cover) and the physical copies are officially for sale also. The CDs are in hand currently and will ship long before the 4/16 street date. I look forward to your thoughts and opinions, VC!

Glad to know that I'm not the only one in this boat. You guys are like my support group! I'll definitely pick this up, just need to hold off. Julio, keep us posted when that /100 is getting low?

I want this, but I currently have TWELVE albums on PO that I'm waiting for. It's getting excessive I think...haha

The pleasure is all mine! I'll get some physical copies in the mail to you this week for your listening pleasure!

Guess what?! We have the brand new single from Glassfield streaming over at Substream right now! FFO: Hum, Torche, Thrice, Shiner...good shit. http://substreammagazine.com/2016/03/premiere-glassfield-spirits/ Features ex-members of Lights At Sea, but they've evolved past the post-rock sound while maintaining some atmosphere. It's riffier, sludgier and more melodic. Check it out! This will be available on digipak CD and all digital outlets, and be on the lookout for a split 7" from them in the near future as well!

Sorry we didn't have better news about your newfound vinyl portfolio. Perhaps future thrift stores will have more luck in regards to your future investments.

I will take this off of your hands if you'd like! Willing to buy or trade. Hit me up. ;-)

I can hardly even choose a least favorite. That said, I think mine would be "would of."

FTFY

BLAM. Got it.

Yes sir. It's Sunday in LA

I got an email about a secret show and I scooped up tix. Awesome. Hoping to score some vinyl as well!

I <3 Thrice. I hope they keep the variants to a minimum for the sake of my future financial planning.

Manufacturing costs have remained relatively the same over the past decade, save for the cost of inflation and also being dependent on how the stampers are made. The rising costs are attributed mostly to labels cashing in on the demand. Why sell it for $8 wholesale and only make a few bucks per unit when you can sell it for $20 wholesale and triple your investment? Then distribution channels take the same mentality and charge $25 bucks so that they get their cut and - at last - retailers mark it up a few more bucks so that they get a profit. The stores and retailers are at the tail end of this chain and make very little off of each very expensive release. That's why RSD isn't a hugely profitable day for stores. They might see a big dollar sign, but the gross margin is negligible.

I don't believe it's a gatefold since the description specifically calls out the "wide spine jacket" - it will be the same type of jacket as The Deal, I presume. Also: ordered. Thanks!

I got the same color mix-up! We are twins! Not bummed though because it looks stellar.

The album is fucking awesome. If I didn't think I'd take a total bath on it, I would probably still release it as planned. But I am not sure how much traction it would get without the band playing out. Such a bummer!

Damn, I missed that group buy. Any chance you snagged some extras to distro, Eclipsical?

Bringing this one back. Still have two left!

Maybe I missed it somewhere but I have these raffle tickets that came with my orders from TSR. Any clue what they are for?
