I just looked and the last copy was sold on 12/7 to someone in France. It hasn't been available since then.
-
Aren't there copies of The Running on the site for 13$? Just bought a copy not too long ago.
You probably got the last one. I don't handle what's in the store, it's a 3rd party.
Everything that's in this thread I am mailing out myself because I found it in a few boxes of old stock I was organizing.
-
They are all random colors. There are solid gold, green, etc. That pressing, colorwise, was a nightmare. The plant just ran a bunch of random colors.
-
Everyone who has paid for stuff, it's shipped and or packed and getting dropped off tomorrow. Everyone should've gotten tracking via email or PM.
There are a few things that I only have one copy left of, so if you are on the fence...
-
If you still have that beloved test press and zao self titled on Wednesday I'll buy both
PM'd!

Randy Savage, shipped your LP this morning!
Is the FSF record on colored vinyl?
I think most of the copies are on black, but might have 1-2 clear gold copies.
PM'D
Responded!

You have insight in T&N's business?
The first post in this thread is a link to my tweet predicting this release. I definitely don't know anything about anything T&N vinyl related.
EDIT: This is exactly why I stopped posting on this board. Back to the shadows I go.

Hmm, is this "someone official" or just someone? Stoked if it's happening. I thought the CNS would be like a one off... Hopefully not then!
If you consider me "official" then yes.

Because T&N is run by a bunch of god damn troglodytes.
They are pressing more of these as well. So if you missed out you can pick it up again in probably 6 months.
-
backed up that far?!
Major labels are extremely bloated useless entities that make everything 100 times harder than it should be.
-
hell or high water is better thoughhh
This will be available next year.

Cool band, weird label.
What's up dude.
-
-
I would kill to release any / all Kozelek on vinyl. So much needs to be pressed / repressed.
-
Animal Style / Matt is still working out details.
The dates that keep getting posted are arbitrary dates set by his distributor.
He'll post when everything is ready to go. Until then, all news is false news.

Just for the record, shady does not automatically equal illegal.
Shady - of questionable taste or morality; lacking respectability in character or behavior or appearance.
Sounds pretty accurate to me.
-
I don't know about royalties because I don't know the specifics of the licensing deal but I can guarantee 6131 will make sure the band gets copies of the LP. Whereas I know that won't happen with SRC since they haven't even talked to the band.
-
How is that not a reasonable answer?
It's a perfect comparison.Yes, 99% of the time the label owns the rights to the record and has complete control over it.
That doesn't make it right.
In my experience, the point of reissues is to have music you love, from a band you love, on a format you love. If you really love the band and the album, wouldn't you want to have some contact with the band instead of just going behind their back and doing it? It is their art regardless of who "owns" it and I would reckon most artists would like to have some input on how their art is represented.
The only reason you'd not try and get in touch with the band is because you simply don't care and are just reissuing the album because you know it'll sell copies, which is exactly what SRC is doing.
So yes, it is fucking shady. It's essentially an authorized bootleg. It's amazing that it's such a non issue for most of you guys.

Each and every time SRC presses some album, the "band did not approve of this!" stuff gets brought up. I'm not defending SRC here, just tired of hearing it.
I don't know how the music and record business works. Wouldn't the entity, label or band themselves, who have the rights and ownership to the record itself be the one to license it out if they want?
Sooooooooo...if I start a label and want to repress Lionel Ritchie's "All Night Long" and the record is under the ownership of RCA and not Ritchie, and I go through all the proper and legal channels to get the license to press it, and now Ritchie is upset w/ me and not giving me his blessing, how would I be the guy? Would I be doing anything shady then? If the contract that Ritchie signed with RCA states that the album rights belong to the label and not Ritchie, how would getting the OK from RCA be wrong?
As I said...I'm not in the business at any scale.
(And no idea if that is even the name of Ritchie's record and/or if he is/was on RCA. Just putting examples up.)
You're telling me that if SRC contacted Equal Vision and licensed Converge "When Forever Comes Crashing" and released it without contacting Bannon or Ballou that you would be totally cool with it and wouldn't think it was even remotely shady?

The records were never shrinkwrapped. I hand assembled all of them and put them in polybags.
So yes, the records are opened.
The problem with the release is that the plant didn't adhere to the color variants I asked them to. So instead of receiving exactly what was ordered, it was just 1000+ LPs of varying shades, so I attempted to sort and organize it to the best of my ability.
It's been over 6 years since it came out, so I am foggy on what is what.
Here are the "main" variants:
I honestly don't know what is in the stack that I currently have and am selling. Most of the copies I've pulled out look like the bottom right, but some have looked like top middle. I have about 12 left. I'd have to go through them one by one to see what is there.
I can do that though, tonight after work.
