whoa

Spacelab9 coming in hot with more chintzy shit noone asked for

Shouldve googled this first - its Vixen!
Fuck I gotta buy this now

Finally, can't wait to queue up for my copy of Aqua's Aquarium. This is what RSD is about!

Anyone get their downloads and take this album for a spin yet?  Received a download e-mail just the other day.
The night before these went up for PO, I checked the web-store before calling it a night – probably around midnight – and noticed that they were up and live, a bit early.  Unsure of how quickly that splatter would sell out, I opted to order one, and was surprised to see a download link with my receipt.  I figured it was an accident since the release date was over 3 months out, but I tried it anyway... and lo' and behold, it worked.
 
Roughly 20 minutes later, the band e-mailed me directly and explained that the link shouldn't have been sent, and very politely requested that I trash the download, or at the very least, keep it under wraps.  3 months is a long time to hold out, but I assured them that the download would be under lock and key since they spent the last 2 years or so writing, recording, and mixing the album.  That being said, I've had a good bit of time to get comfortable with the record, and didn't want to say anything until others started receiving [intentional] download links and hearing the album for themselves.
 

Not just Banquet - everyone. Good advice is to avoid Banquet if you can. Yes, they have a lot of stock, but the website grinds to a halt as soon as they go up and I believe (from experience) that they oversell and a lot of orders go unfulfilled. There will be a lot of other options for this - I strongly suspect it won't sell out.
 
BTW, for UK RSD regulars, Norman Records in Leeds are not allowed to particiapte this year as it's been deemed they aren't really a bricks and mortar store (which TBH is true). They hope to get some stock in for the online sales.

Hi VCers - vinyl just showed up today. We'll be working as fast as possible to get pre-orders out the door and on your doorstep. There's only two of us, but we aim to have everyone's pre-order shipped by March 31st at the latest. Expect an email with tracking info when that happens. Thanks so much for the support! This is by far the most pre-orders we've ever received, so we're pumped and ready to get it in your hands!

I like how Spaceab just swoops in to take a quick dump on the boards every now and then before fucking off without wiping.

Euro list is chock full of absolute rubbish. Still hoping the US/Canada list is slightly better...

Just saw this bad boy:

I know for sure that @throwgncpr is looking for BTP 1-3....seems it gets reissued by TRL.
Nothing on their site, but SRC has the records ready to PO:

Pretty sure TRL will let us know soon what crazy variants they'll press

Nah.

I'll probably get this but they went all out on that artwork, didn't they?

This guy sucks.

From Rough Trade's instagram...
"We are excited to announce the reissue of Elastica's debut album 'Elastica' which came out in March 1995 and went straight to number 1. The album will be released on limited edition vinyl on 22nd April 2017 as part of UK and Ireland @recordstoreday. The special vinyl album package will include a fanzine and flexi disc, which will feature the track “In The City” from their John Peel session."
 

lol

Did you get the blade-runner parody poster?
Yes, I've sent Berninger a ton of tunes already. He's in the land of The National for the time being. But we're building a little reservoir to come back to, once the time is right.

I got Abbey Road already (despite already owning a copy) yesterday. Seems to be the exact same as the 2009 remastered copy I have! Sounds great and very impressed with the artwork and disc, etc. I too thought it'd be a cheaply pressed copy, but seems legit.

Btw, £9.99 is the introductory offer price. Future single albums will be £17.99 - which I still think is a pretty good deal considering they're at least £20 in HMV or Fopp or wherever - and £25 for double and triple albums is an absolute steal!

Can't wait to collect them all. I feel about 8 again when I collected all the editions of that dinosaur magazine to make a glow-in-the-dark Tyrannosaurus Rex! 

Much like EL VY itself, this message board seems like to revolve around Matt Berninger.  So, I feel right at home.  
Anyhow, I thought i'd give y'all a heads up that Ramona Falls (the project I do in addition to EL VY) is gonna release a third LP soon. I just approved the acetate.
Thanks to everyone who supported EL VY (and, for that matter, Menomena too) by the way.

Was this album cover made in MS Word?

I might have to get this:
Toto - Africa [12''] (Picture Disc, die cut, limited to 2500, indie-retail exclusive)

I could barely make it through one coheed song,  let alone 3 volumes of that stuff
