So stoked for this release. I'll also be ordering from Tee Pee as soon as it's up.
-
Anyone got one?

clear is $23 US on discogs
Not exactly. The colored records are unmarked and sealed along with the black copies, and have the same barcode. So this is a sealed copy that the seller put up as clear, but is very much more likely black. Thanks for the tip anyway!

Still hoping!

When people complain about their government, are you the guy saying "if you don't like it, don't live here?"
kinda... I emailed [email protected], asking if I could just order obama, since I didn't really want to have to pay for the republicans, too, but they said obama was only available in the bundle with the republicans. I could have settled for canada, but I was all like "not liking hockey in mn is bad enough, but in canada? they'd club me like a seal", so I decided to live here anyway.
+1 nicely done.

I really want this, but $30 plus $7 shipping? Can't do it...

Looking for a green 1905 / Amanda Woodward split 7" on Stonehenge records. Thanks!

If you were selling the Mountain Goats Sub Pop single I would be all over it.

I'd love to see the Nighty Nite get in on this series.

Finally got off my ass and ordered...

Looks like the white is /700

I'd imagine the Graveface reissue will have two varients for the first press: the record club version and a retail version. As is their style.

I've got FMM on clear vinyl. Has this record been out of print?

Hello all
For the sake of keeping things emotion-free and legal, we’ll cut straight to the chase and forgo the insults and accusations:
It is and has been for quite some time our position that Victory Records is an artist-hostile, morally corrupt and generally dishonest company, with whom we have had the displeasure of being associated due to a contract that was signed years ago. We’re not writing this today to air grievances, of which there are many; numerous bands’ struggles with Victory are well-documented (and many more are sealed by a court of law), so we figured we’re going to skip the allegations and try to solve the problem, as we see it.
We’re writing today to ask you to please boycott all Streetlight related items by not purchasing any of our records or merchandise from Victory’s website, any traditional CD stores, online third party retailers or any digital distribution service (iTunes, Amazon etc). Victory has a long-time reputation of pocketing all of the proceeds from a band’s music and merch, with shady accounting and generally bully-ish behavior. If you want to support Streetlight, our music and our ability to tour and continue to release music, please make all SM related purchases from our own webstore, The RISC Store (www.riscstore.com), or come out to a show and buy a shirt or cd from us directly. In regards to getting the music we make, you can buy directly from us, or, alternately, we’re sure you can find a way to get the tunes onto your computer that may not be, ahem, traditional… Speaking a Bit metaphorically, there is a Torrent of methods to accomplish this, and Google is your always loyal friend…
As many of you know, we are in the final stages of recording our new album. It will be out and available this summer, whether via Victory, or some other method. We refuse to let our constant battles with our own record label hold back the album’s release (we can take nearly forever to finish an album on our own, thank you very much) and we look forward to being free from Victory’s clutches once our contract with them ends this summer.
We wish Victory Records no ill will or harm. Ok, that’s not entirely true. But what we want more than seeing the bad guy get his comeuppance, to see the villain get bitch-slapped by karma, is freedom from a company we abhor. We want the money made by our record and merch sales to help fund the band, not a company we’re ashamed to be associated with. We don’t care about SoundScans, or charts, or success as it’s measured by an industry we can’t stand; we just want our hard work to go towards something better than the record labels that destroy the spirit of independent music.
Thanks for your time and support and we’ll see you soon.

Every time I see ETID I read it as EITS. Gets me every time.

Thanks, picked this up for the wife.

Stoked, as always.

Bummer, I was hoping to snag a few of those.

I've seen that fleet foxes go for wayyy more than what its at right now, someone could swoop that up for pretty cheap
Auction is far from over.
-
i bet you never posted this now so you could have gotten it cheap eh?
Haha, yeah this thing's going to go for bank now.

Same. I'm hoping a few copies of the black version wind up online. I'm guessing there's only 100 though so I'm not holding my breath.
Anyone know the actually numbers for the black?
In case anyone else was wondering, I emailed Mylene Sheath and yes, there are 100 on black. It was also like the nicest reply from a label I've even gotten.

I had to click on the "Critiques" link at the top-right corner of the page. Very good read indeed, so thanks!
