Got my copy in the mail yesterday, amazing record and nice pressing. After a couple listens I'd say it's really unlike anything else he put out, short, meditative and almost gospelly. Great compliment to the rest of his solo catalog

I have most of the Bob Dylan Mofi reissues and they all sound amazing on my modest setup. I haven't done a huge deep dive into the quality of a lot of their other releases but something to note is that as I understand it they don't always do their remasters from the original tapes. If it says "Original Master Recording" at the top of the jacket it was mastered from the original tapes, if it says "mobile fidelity sound lab" at the top of the jacket it means it was sourced from whatever they deemed the best available sound source was. So even though the pressing quality is generally very high there might be some releases where you'd be just as well off with a nice clean copy of the original master if you can find it cheaper.

Awesome, pre-ordered the books. Love All The Best, Issac Hayes as well. Hope some of these new albums get vinyl releases eventually

RE: Sound of Vinyl. I'd never ordered from them before either but placed an order on Sunday and received the records yesterday, never got a shipping notification. I was surprised at the quick turnaround given the circumstances, if it makes a difference I'm in New York and they ship from Kentucky, not sure if they have multiple warehouses or not so maybe I just got lucky

Has anyone been able to confirm If there will be a regular pressing available for this release?

In that case I’m wondering if they’re being purposefully vague because they want people to sign up. That email just confirms it will released later “to hear” meaning not necessarily another vinyl pressing while also saying it would be the only color variant meaning perhaps there was a regular black version. For what it’s worth that email I quoted from Secretly Canadian was in response to me asking if a regular pressing would be available at some point. But even that response seemed like it could be worded vaguely...

I emailed Secretly Canadian and they replied: “The new Molina is a Secretly Society exclusive” So that’s sort of a bummer. Does anyone know if they sell out ahead of the subscriptions ahead of time? November and December records have no appeal to me so I’d prefer to wait and hope for better selections down the line if I have to sign up to get the Molina record

This release is listed as LPx2+ does anyone know if there is bonus material associated with this edition? I think the rough trade exclusives are usually just listed as LP+

I couldn't find anywhere if this was against forum rules so please let me know if it is and I'll take the post down but If anyone is interested in this vault package but doesn't want to sign up for the Vault for whatever reason I would gladly ship you mine at a slight discount. I honestly just signed back up to get the deluxe Ann Arbor Blues Fest Package and probably will eventually grab a couple of the other blues reissues so I'd like to stay signed up for access to the store but really have no interest in the White Stripes and don't want to get involved in the flipping game. I was blindly hoping the next package would be related to the blues fest but alas. PM if interested and we can work something out . Again, if this against the rules I apologize and will delete!

It's $120 in the Vault as well. If they're available at the physical shop I'm guessing/hoping they'll be shipping early next week which is cool, I wasn't totally clear on the timetable. Really excited in any case, I ended up re-subscribing to the Vault just to grab one. Hoping the next Vault package is related in some way but that's probably a long shot

This is a great two volume set that just came out from Third Man, there's also a deluxe edition available in the Vault which looks beautiful. Haven't heard the vinyl yet but streamed both volumes yesterday and loved it. It's sourced from an audience tape recording so it's got a really amazing ambience and obviously an incredible lineup and performances. https://thirdmanstore.com/records/ann-arbor-blues-festival-1969-volume-1-2-bundle

Haven't seen it mentioned here but Light in Attic keeps adding stuff to their blowout sale section which stemmed off of their spring cleaning sale. Lots of really cool stuff. I finally grabbed the Lee Hazlewood Box Set that I've been coveting for years and it went out of stock right after so it looks like I made the decision right on time! Great deals all around though. I'll be checking back in after my next paycheck

Yeah this awesome! Excited they're reissuing the rest of the back catalogue eventually too

Mine came yesterday, really beautiful album and great pressing. Definitely looking forward to spending more time with it this weekend

Just received the deluxe purple edition, it looks beautiful, can't wait to play it later and hear how it sounds. Major kudos to Sunn/Southern Lord for how well they package their records for shipping especially for the reasonable shipping and handling charges, no other label that I've ordered from comes close to the care they put into it. They also included a White 1&2 turntable mat which I've never seen, that was an awesome bonus

Anyone get shipping updates from the Sunn Website?

Super pumped for this

Has anyone else had ongoing issues ordering direct through Third Man? I've only ordered 4 times through them but with every order there have been defective or damaged products or incorrect records. I usually always prefer ordering directly from labels but am wondering if other experience this with them and if it's easier to get their records elsewhere.

Awesome! Was just coming on to post this as well, really excited it's getting an individual release!

This is awesome! On a related note does anyone know if the Sunn 0))) Downtown Rehearsal Riff Tape Vinyl release offered as part of the Southern Lord 20th Anniversary Subscription Series is going to see a release outside of the subscription? Currently that's the only way I see to get it

This is true! I only have 4 that I can think but they all lean on the noisy side which is why I always play it safe. In any case, I realize after posting that I came across as completely poo-pooing splatters (no pun intended?) but I'm totally open to idea of them just wanted to throw out my two cents/mild consolation to those who missed out on the limited stuff. Super excited for this new record!

I know they're already sold out anyway so the point is mute, but I've never heard a good sounding splatter pressing, I'd always opt for a black or clear if available. Take heart anyone who missed out on those

Really excited for this to get a vinyl release! FYI I believe I read on Daves facebook page that the purple is limited to 100 but only 60 of those are available through mailorder

The last two vinyl releases, Red Blood Blues and Send off Smoke are on sale as a bundle for $20ppd for a limited time. Check them out if you're unfamiliar https://brandonschmitt.bandcamp.com/album/red-blood-blues

Ha, I won't show you a receipt but I believe it was about $53 after shipping directly from Secretly Canadian, maybe tax could vary depending on where you having it shipped. I get the impression that they are the only ones selling this bundle
