That's neat. I hope everyone else can chime in with their 12" colour variant. Would be nice to figure out how many there are.

No worries. Bit of a nightmare to post that on this board, but it came out so well (I think dark purple is underrated af) that I had to post. As a Canadian it cost me ~$95 CDN all told to peldge, but IMO it's worth every penny given how the 12" got what seems like four times the hand-made love & care as the album, which stands out in the reissue market on its own. If there are industry awards for best crowdfunding campaign, I'd be hard-pressed to think of a better candidate than this even though we have half the year left.

Assuming you went for a colour version of the 12", did you get a different or same colour vinyl? I heard the 12" colour would be random.

Yeah I figured BC has to be, especially since UK retailers are out of stock. Thanks!

I'm having a hell of a time tracking down a copy of Iowa Dream for a good price. Anyone have any leads, preferably in Canada?

This was my Fave New Band that I'd discovered just before the pandemic hit. Heavy shoegaze heaven. Total no-brainer and PWYC, so if anyone only has a few bucks to spare, look no further.

Oh joy; completely sold out in hours.

Never heard of The Midnight until now, and that new song has hooks galore & the vocalist can sing, but it's a tad too poppy for me. If this new album is the Hurry Up, We're Dreaming of their discography, is there an equivalent album to, say Before The Dawn Heals Us that you'd recommend? Something a little bit more gritty &/or minimal?

Look closer: "Expected 20th June 2020"

Is it possible there are some copies here? https://www.banquetrecords.com/tennis-system/fear-of-knowing-[rsd20]/GRAVE160

Really digging it so far. Love the turn that "P R O M I S E" takes into some Vaperror territory although "What Are You So Afraid Of?" (Getting Old) might be my fave track. I'll make sure to throw some money your way tomorrow, when Bandcamp won't take a cut. Might as well make it a vape-scene multi-buy day.

My Pet Flamingo is dropping Saint Pepsi's Mannequin Challenge on May 1st. Be there or be trapezoid.

Very beta energy. Apt username.

There are few artists at this point who I'm still really stoked about. Windows 96 is one. But I guess I feel the same.

Good. I would have hope they're smarter than releasing something so big during a time like this and I know the band has total control over this stuff.

Shipping cost alone is $26.89 USD to Canada.

June/July are when most epidemiologists are predicting is when the curve will flatten. Minimum time for a vaccine to be administered in sufficient amounts is 18 months. I think I'm done buying vinyl for a while tbh. Need to save up.

Slow clap to every record store Insta making the same joke about how mid-June is when RSD stock would arrive anyway.

I hope most folks realize that the vast majority of physical stores do not have and will not be able to afford the server capacity needed to sell online, to say nothing about shipping and packaging, RSD or not.

I think one precaution in general is to either get in line early, or avoid the initial wave and pick through the rubble. Edit: The best precaution being waiting for stuff to go online, obviously

Sold out on Bandcamp: Wow! Will have to snag this when it comes to a store.

Reminds me a bit of Car Seat Headrest releasing the OG version of his first album that he'd re-recorded that same year on RSD. I bought it for like 12 bucks in the discount bin months later. Seemed like everyone passed on it.

Gonna sub in the live Bowie, because I'm a mark for those, always and Robyn I'm listening to some of that live Replacements gig and it's fine, so I'm on the fence about that. Wilcovered seems cute. And it's relatively limited, but that's a maybe as well. Also, y'all are all sleeping on Wild Tchoupitoulas (unless it's one of those used-bin staples down South idk).

Wish they would repress their earlier stuff, but I'm glad they're doing this.
