Shipping is also $4 more... I wonder if this is actually 3xLP? Edit: nope, Midheaven and Rough Trade specify its a double.

Feels weird to not be preordering an Oh Sees album, but I've heard like half the album and my most positive reaction to any song has been "that's not too bad." Definitely not worth $45 to me.

Preorder for Grand Magus "Wolf God" is up. .... a mere $40 for 1xLP on black vinyl. Holy shit. https://newmetalalbums.bigcartel.com/product/grand-magus-wolf-god-doom-metal-vinyl-pre-order

Ahh, gotcha. Those early pressings must have been the ones with the silver cover also, versus the version that's a predominantly black cover? Happy with this regardless... first time hearing this on vinyl, and its absolutely filthy sounding. In the best way possible.

Anyone else get the Witchcult Today repress? I thought all these suckers were gatefolds....? Oh well, awesome album.

I like a few of the Flightless ones, but I'm also a fan of simple single-colored LPs.... including the elusive plain ol black LP. Especially at these prices.

So the ATO versions will most likely be like half the price (for non-Australians anyway) and half as common? Glad I waited in that case.

Based on that last sentence, seems like the ATO versions will likely have the same packaging/artwork, but likely with different LP colors?

If I cared about having LPs as collectors items that I'll eventually sell (which I do not).... spending that much money on LPs with pressings of 5k each seems like a bad investment. With that many floating around out there, these will probably be available on Discogs for less than retail price shortly after release.

Goggs "Pre Strike Sweep" preorder is up as of 3 pm Eastern. https://intheredrecords.com/collections/goggs/products/goggs-pre-strike-sweep

How much did your Vinyl Flat cost? I see a couple versions. With quality control seemingly going out the window, I should probably just get one.

Sorry, I should have taken some PTO from work so I could get home and listen to it ASAP. I will try not to annoy you in the future.

Anyone have any quality issues? There's a thread on reddit with a lot of people saying they're having the same issues as were present with Orc; namely, a lot of popping and even skipping/needle bouncing at the beginning of each side of the record. I haven't listened to my copy yet, but I had this happen with *two* copies of Orc until I got one that had no defects.... kind of annoying.

Willowtip is still alive and kicking? Are they just a distro now? I haven't heard that name in forever. I have great memories of getting all of their early stuff so cheaply... Circle of Dead Children, Commit Suicide, Harakiri, etc.

This might be Newbury's most flagrant cash grab/price inflated offering yet. Both of these are in stock at Castleface, for less money, AND in colored variations. wtf? Normally Newbury at least picks stuff that doesn't have colored variations readily available elsewhere.
