Are we sure this was cancelled or not happening? I preordered from Amazon UK and have confirmed shipping. 

I'll update once received...

I asked for a refund from Merchbar because they couldn't give me any details on it. I did not want another copy of the bootleg. 

I don't know if anyone wants this but BandBox is putting up a limited restock of their Illusion of Safety variant that comes with the zine.

The standard box set is available again if anyone is interested.

 

Does this come with a test press?

Even with FIP being next, the price of the box set isn’t worth it. I’m still waiting for Worms of The Earth on vinyl. 

Worms of the Earth (remix) was on this 7" (part of a 7" set - that fit in a gatefold sleeve) "Bitemarks and Bloodstains"

https://www.discogs.com/release/3153470-Finch-Bitemarks-And-Bloodstains

Did anybody have trouble ordering from their site? Is the site stable will I have any trouble ordering the 2 Finch variants?

Finch is the one I wanted. Now I wish I bought that box set.

Is there anything like Discogs for screen prints?  

I think Discogs had one (along with other proprietary databases) i.e. Filmogs, Gearogs, Bookogs, Posterogs etc. 

But Discogs killed all of the extra sites (because they were hemorrhaging money) and the various databases had their fans and were being massively supported. I was really heavily into scanning and adding films to Filmogs. Which is a shame because there really isn't any kind of Discogs-like databases for film and all of its formats.

Exactly what I thought

So "standard presses" will be offered seperately later?

Sub Pop is reissuing Hot Hot Heat's Debut Album for it's 20th anniversary.

Make Up The Breakdown was produced by Jack Endino (Nirvana, Soundgarden, Sonic Youth) at Vancouver, BC’s Mushroom Studios with additional engineering and mixing from former Death Cab for Cutie member Chris Walla at The Hall of Justice in Seattle, and released on October 8th 2002 as a ten-track album.

For this deluxe edition, Make Up The Breakdown has been expanded to twelve tracks and now includes “Apt. 101” and “Move On,” two tracks only previously available with a UK-only single for “Bandages.”

Make Up The Breakdown earned praise from the likes of AllMusic, who called the album “an addictive, densely packed pop gem that ranks among 2002’s best albums,” and Pitchfork agreed, including it at no. 20 on “The 50 Best Albums of 2002.” The official videos for "Bandages" and "Talk to Me, Dance With Me" saw regular airplay on MTV. Meanwhile the singles saw huge support at Alternative Radio, with both songs going to no. 1 at the KROQ in Los Angeles.

Wow, I was just able to get one this late in the day. 

Wow, that is truly terrible. 

It looks like Parting Gift Records will be pressing New Found Glory's "Coming Home" album. 

The second video of their story shows a record playing "Hold My Hand" with a 2 days countdown with a 'PGR015'

Thanks, @thefavoriteplay -- however, the padded envelopes are a fraction of the cost of the cardboard boxes. E.g., these bubble mailers are about 20 cents each, whereas these cardboard cassette mailers are 82 cents each -- about four times as much. I wonder if the cardboard really helps all that much? If anyone out there has mailed a bunch of individual cassettes (or pairs, threes, small orders), I'd appreciate knowing what experience says about shipping cassettes.

I think bubble mailers would be fine just be sure to wrap each tape thoroughly with bubble wrap and backing cardboard on the front and back of the case so the cases don't get cracked in transit. 

New "I Am The Movie" variant up at Newbury Comics - pretty cool variant. But it comes out to $40 with shipping and tax in the US.

so there is no dealing with ULINE

I'm wondering if anyone here could suggest a good package in which to mail cassettes? I'm about to announce some cassettes for sale on bandcamp and want to be ready to ship as quickly & cost-effectively as possible. I'm also extremely curious what people ordinarily use to ship -- the USPS has a whole complicated description of Media Mail. I'm wondering what practical experience people have shipping cassettes -- like, is an envelope enough or do the tapes arrive all smashed? Is there some cardboard mailer that works well? Where do you buy mailers (NOT ULINE F*** THOSE WEIRDOS).

 

Any wisdom/advice would be much appreciated.

I really fucked with their missing man EP. its a bop

Also, anyone got a USA link for the Decemberunderground press floating around?
If it shows up drop it in here pls and thankya

Missing Man is a great EP. I love the 12" record design as well. That whole graphic design was done well. It has a textured feel and overall looks great. 

I liked AFI (Blood Album) as well. 

Bodies is where they lost me even though the Caught stand-alone single is really good. 

I read that not only is the Decemberunderground boot a thing but supposedly Crash Love is getting a bootleg as well.

I'd love a WIITB repress but why not Finch's Falling Into Place EP as well?

Epitaph quietly kept IATM and EIIKM in print on black, pressing it every year or two, up until 2017. They’ve been identical to the original pressings, so discogs wouldn’t have separate entries for them. Why they haven’t been treating CTTM the same way is beyond me. 

Commit has been steadily kept in press on black, I bought a new copy just recently. It's just the variants that get all the hoopla. 

Available from Sexy Baby Records:

"So Much More than a Cassettes Box Set" includes 1 copy 

-The Ataris "...Anywhere But Here" CS, 

-...Blue Skies, Broken Hearts... Next 12 Exits" CS, 

-The Ataris "End is Forever" CS, and 

-The Ataris "So Long Astoria (Demos)" 

with exclusive 4 pack button pack and sticker. PLUS full digital download of each album including 10 additional bonus alternative takes, covers and demo songs.

The box set is $45 and limited to /100 (they also offer the cassettes individually)

(It is actually cheaper to buy the box set than to buy the individual cassettes.)

Also, this is the first time "End Is Forever" and the "So Long, Astoria" Demos has been put on cassette.
