Brandon Boyd's debut solo album "The Wild Trapeze" is getting the vinyl treatment for the first time for its 10-year Anniversary through Qrates. This album is being pressed on "heavy black vinyl" and was initially limited to 500 copies but due to overwhelming sales, they added more to the shop so I guess this will now be /1000. The album is available for $20 with $6 shipping. https://qrates.com/projects/21301-the-wild-trapeze

Motion City Soundtrack have put up copies of their latest tour-only 7" that was a VIP Bundle exclusive from their "Don't Call It A Comeback" Tour. The 7" is $20 but has a steep $8 shipping cost, so with tax it is nearly a $30 7". But proceeds are going for a good cause - Save Our Stages. https://www.niicethings.co/motioncitysoundtrack/motion-city-soundtrack-7

I don't understand this release set. Is this just a repressing of the past Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 OST's from Brave Wave? I see Limited Run is partnering with Brave Wave so it must be so. I already have the colored versions of the first press though. I genuinely love these games (the Dreamcast ones).

Awesome - great news, thanks!

Early this morning Blaqk Audio released the first 5 tracks - the "Side A" - of their new album Beneath The Black Palms. Tracklist: Side A: 1. Consort 2. Zipper Don't Work 3. 1948 4. A Distant Light 5. Hiss Side B: 6. Burnt Babies Fear the Fire 7. Fish Bite 8. Bird Sister 9. I'm Comin' Over 10. Tired Eyes 11. It's Not Going Well Today they put up a pre-order for the full length. There appears to be 2 variants both /250 tri-color & pink, but the pink is locked behind an expensive bundle. The (signed) pink is available separately but it still is expensive @ $50 --$25 https://blaqkaudio.warnermusic.com/

I don't think this is what happens. Kris puts a set amount available directly from him on his Bandcamp (which, I assume, he gets more of a monetary cut from) and you can find more copies directly available from Cleopatra Records on eBay. Edit: Cleopatra Records is the company that bought the Kung Fu Records namesake and sells all new Kung Fu releases now.

Got my MMHMM the other day and it is a good looking set. I'm happy with the variant.

Cool, mine has shipped but it looks like it hasn't left Tennessee yet. Excited to get it though. I'm surprised to see there are still copies available a week later.

I pre-orderd Air For Free as well and received the replacement discs and a print out explanation as well I think, and they did not send a jacket but I did ask for a new jacket so I could have both sleeved. I think there was a nominal fee for the jacket. I can't remember though.

I think with Birds of Prey, WB expects sales from the Suicide Squad/Harley Quinn fan base.

I don't think this has been posted before but DC's Birds of Prey has had a Soundtrack Album press. There looks to be a standard vinyl and a picture disc version as well. I just watched this movie and didn't think it was that bad of a movie as so many made it out to be.

Data Discs confirmed they will be doing a press of Shenmue II. I can't wait for this. I was hoping they would do the sequel since they did the first Shenmue OST.

Not music related but I had a video game go missing for about a month and a half. I ordered a game from eBay on a Friday and I was scheduled to receive the game the following Monday March 2nd. Well the day comes and I got my mail that day -no game- later that night I got an eBay App Update Ding stating the game was delivered. The tracking number showed delivered and all. I went back out a checked the mail and nothing. So I chalked it up to wrongly delivered or stolen. I waited a few days to report the missing game to the post office and they said they would keep an eye out. But in the end I was never getting it, or so I thought. Then in April, I think it was like the 20th, I got a package in the mail I wasn't expecting and lo and behold it's the game. I don't know what happened but a month and a half later I got the game.

Fervor Records is releasing a limited 7" vinyl from the short lived 80's band The Jetzons. The Jetzons became famous for their unreleased song "Hard Times" that was later reworked for the Ice Cap Zone in Sonic 3 for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. The B-side - "When The Sun Goes Down" was featured in Season 2 of Stranger Things. The 7" is available from Hello Merch for $10: https://www.hellomerch.com/products/the-jetzons-hard-times-7?_pos=1&_sid=700601faf&_ss=r
