So is it pretty certain that next ROTM is a Betty Davis record? or are there other plausible guesses as well?(i've been loosely keeping an eye on the guess thread etc)

I have the black copy of Lost Highway from 2017. It does in fact have the same etching. 

Awesome. Would you concur that it's a great sounding press?

Nice. Cut by John Golden and pressed at Pallas. 

So on discogs the standard Black version of this that came out this year has the same matrix etching as the gold listed above, other than the "gold USA" part. Am I correct in thinking that this means the black version was also pressed at Pallas? (Forgive my ignorance, I'm not entirely familiar with how matrix etchings work, and only ask because I don't care about the color of the record as much as the sound so if I can save a few bucks by going with black, that's my plan)

the first two Damien Rice albums

Really hoping this will be great. I love all of the Movielife material & the first two I Am The Avalanche records, but I had a hard time getting into Wolverines & Vinnie's solo stuff.

Just realized the self titled Lemonheads album from '06 came out on Vagrant. I'd kill for a repress of that. I feel like no one talks about that album, but all the musicians that play on it are incredible (J Mascis, Bill Stevenson of the Descendants, Garth Hudson of the Band)

to those who picked up the standard black copy, hows it sound?

Awesome. Really hoping this means a press of Gutterflower in the future. 

Anyone else's copy of this sound awful? I believe I have clear with black or grey splatter. My copy is not only quiet but the "heavy" or "loud" parts of their songs sound overly distorted 

FWIW my copy of the MOV release sounds excellent. Really hoping they'll repress (or-restock?) Out of The Vein one of these days.

speaking of that recent Lost Highway reissue through Nothing, has anyone heard it or read anything regarding the sound quality?

can't believe I missed the "secret link". I can't understand why they haven't made this more widely available, they're leaving a ton of money on the table.

I just emptied my cart & re-added the record & was able to complete check out, just FYI for anyone who was experiencing the same problem

I'm now able to get all the way to check out, but can't get the order to complete. Looks like we're at least moving in the right direction.

I'm newish to all of this. Is it usually this bad when something gets released? Not getting anywhere...

A status posted on the VMP boards says this is the most traffic they've ever received, including the Gorillaz & Fiona Apple releases.

I'm having problems as well. Just trying to get a copy of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot but clicking add to cart doesn't seem to do anything. Can't even sign in on mobile.

Anyone else get 2 "side D" labels on disc 2 of Tidal?

available at amazon here https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0716JH6Q5/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1494603362&sr=8-2&keywords=catherine+wheel+vinyl

and at bullmoose slightly cheaper here http://www.bullmoose.com/p/25160064/catherine-wheel-ferment-mixed-orang-gold-vinyl

release date on amazon is 6/30 but is listed on BM as 6/23

so no pre-order for the new record yet, right?

everything Bazan touches is gold & this song is no exception

my copy of Tidal showed up today. Really impressed with the packaging on this. Hopefully the rumors of them pressing other Fiona records for the store are true.

It's probably not a popular opinion, but I just want a legit press of Size Matters.

I've actually never explored their post Aftertaste catalogue, besides a listen or two of the album they put out last year. Worth checking out?

salty about this cause I just dropped a fair amount on an OG copy. This album/band is so good though. Here's to hoping we get a Betty repress next.

saw someone on reddit say the Garage sale is scheduled for this month. Does that typically happen the same day the store opens? (16th I believe?)

anyone know if the UGK release is available anywhere?
