I hope this doesn't count as spam, but I interviewed Matt Sharp of The Rentals last week, and got some info on the progress of releasing Return of the Rentals and Seven More Minutes on vinyl. Here's what he had to say: "Yeah, you know, I’ve been trying to do it for some time now, we’re trying to figure it out. The problem is that the first two Rentals records were done on Madonna’s label [Maverick], so it was under the umbrella of one of these huge corporations. And if you can imagine what it’s like trying to get a bill passed in government, it’s like all this weird … it’s impossible, it’s like going to DC and there’s a million people, and that’s what it’s like dealing with corporate entities. And so for us to get the record out of there is so daunting, but we’re trying, and I think we’re going to be able to do it. I just actually got a message from somebody [about it], so we’ve got some progress. The first one I definitely want to do. The original intent of Seven More Minutes was to have it be a longer record than it is. It’s already long, [laughs] so I was trying to figure out if we would actually release some sort of like, “Director’s Cut,” a version of the album where there’s like three or four more songs. So that could be fun to look into as well. But it’s the same thing—it’s trying to figure out who to talk to." So there's some hope!

I have one of these! Message me with an offer, but note that I am shipping from Canada.

I received my shipping notification for 2 sets today, but UPS only lists the package as 2.4 lbs...I'm guessing it's NOT 2 10 x LP box sets. Ugh.

FYI, I ordered this when it was listed as OOS last week, and now it says my order is shipping next week...

Keep Your Heart - Grey Build & Burn - Green Distractions - Light Grey Splatter (Cover is a bit banged, vinyl is NM) Shoot me an offer if interested! These go to Ebay tomorrow otherwise.

Hoping Amazon gets some regular black copies so I can save on S/H. I feel like Neurosis records should only be on black vinyl anyways, ha.

I hate that new cover. If this pressing has one of the issues the first LP re-issue had then I might cave and (gasp!) buy the CDs. At least that way I get all the liner notes.

I guess the LPs dont have the Billy liner notes? Would really like to read those.

I paid $8 and change for shipping to Canada for a double 180 gram, gatefold LP. No complaints.

How much for the National recs shipped to Canada?
