The new album ‘Chronicles Of A Diamond’ arrives as the fullest expression yet of their frenetic creativity and limitless vision.

Edit:  Guess not, so just added the Walmart one, so we are at 12 variants that would be nearly $450 w/tax & shipping (not counting the signed ones) to purchase if you wanted them all.  Sure, I've just got $450 lying around doing nothing.  Screw car payments!  The Black Pumas just released 13 versions of their new LP!  (sarcasm).
Edit 2;  Added Spotify version, so we are at 13 variants which would now make it $485 to purchase them all.  
Edit 3:  Added Amazon version, so we are at 14 variants.
 

there is a spotify version now too....blue vinyl limited to 1000 copies.  https://takingbacksunday.fantasyrecordings.com/sff/

Hey VC,
 
This site has done a lot for me.  Given me info on pre-orders, given me info on artists to check out, given me friends for my Simpsons Tapped Out game....heh.   I wanted to give back, and what better way than holding a Super Bowl Squares giveaway.
 
If you aren't familiar with Squares, you get a square.  There are 100 slots available and if you are interested in participating, then respond below.  You will be given 2 Random Squares.  So that means we need 50 people to enter.  After everyone has entered, then numbers are drawn and then placed in the grey slots below.  
 
So for instance, if you have the Broncos 1 and Seahawks 0, then you would "win" if the score were Denver 21, Seattle 10.  
 
Prizes will be from my personal collection and awarded in the following manner:
 
SEALED LP for the person who has the correct score after the 1st quarter
SEALED LP for the person who has the correct score at Halftime
SEALED LP for the person who has the correct score after the 3rd quarter
SEALED LP for the person who has the correct Final Score
 
BONUS:  If someone is lucky enough to win multiple quarters, then they will get bonus items.  (A list will be provided after the Super Bowl to the winners, to choose from)
 

 
So just respond below and you'll be given a square.  We need 50 people for this to work, I am sure we can do this!!
 
Note:  I'll be at a Super Bowl party on Sunday, so I won't be able to update this real-time until later that night.  But I will have an updated bracket that you can print out and take with you to see how you do!  
 
Good luck!

Here is the 2nd bracket (it is also on page 8):
 

Don't forget to use code "Happy Endings" for 10% off at checkout

Thanks for spamming this message 6 straight times.  

This was already being discussed in the RSD thread.  Plus, everything that Modern Vinyl is getting their info from is the same source used here in the RSD thread---the Wax Poetic blog.

Then point John to this listing on Cobraside (http://www.cobraside.com/b2b/details.php?id=900148) and tell him you want one of the 500 copies they plan to re-release (again) for RSD2015 in April

Bumpity Bump bump....bump it real good...duh duh duh dah dah dah

Too late.

This was already being discussed in the RSD thread.  Plus, everything that Modern Vinyl is getting their info from is the same source used here in the RSD thread---the Wax Poetic blog.

That is correct!
 
That title has been added to the Wax Poetic blog (new-vinyl.blogspot.com) along with other releases by Braid, Rise Against, The 1975, Jerry Garcia, Ryan Adams and more.

This times 1000.
 
I knew the labels didn't really care about Record Store Day or the stores, when the Flaming Lips Heady Nuggs box came out and you had nearly 7000 made for stores and then they go behind the stores backs and make a more limited colored version (1000 copies no less) and sell it only online.
 
Direct 2 Consumer options will always be there and conducted by the major labels, what they need to do is start being transparent when the folks behind RSD make their list, because when I see a title that is supposedly limited to 1500 copies and then 250 are made available on the band's website, then there is really only 1250 copies available to over 800+ brick and mortar stores to try and be allocated....so the consumer get screwed in the end.

It's laughable that RSD titles are available on line at all....RSD was created entirely in attempt to get people shopping in Brick and Morter stores again....hell, it's in the name. I understand that the music industry as a whole has been on the decline for decades now...but so many major labels literally pressing thousands of copies of anything they think might sell, regardless of the quality of the pressing or the jackets is getting fucking absurd. From my job's perspective every single week we get shipments of vinyl in and more often than not its the band/artists manager sending us the vinyl...which they don't listen to the format and have no idea how fragile it is....how does that tie in?
Essentially Record Store Day started for vinyl enthusiasts/nerds and music lovers. It caused a fairly huge jump in vinyl sales. Major labels and people in the industry that don't legitimately care about the format nor do they understand things about it (proper packaging of the LPs and how to ship them) attempt to cash in on what's hot without an understanding....and so on the consumer end you/we get flooded with shitty releases like fucking Aerosmith represses by the metric ass-ton, which nobody wanted nor will buy at the absurd price-point they're listed at as well as managers for artists cutting out a warehouse manager/shipping expert and just tossing 200 LPs in a single-wall box with no padding to try and sell....all of which show up damaged and unsellable. This whole ball got rolling to get people into brick and mortars and now these releases that were initially specific to record stores are being sold online which is the exact reason the entire Record Store Day was created to counter online sales....
In the eternal words of Kanye West "I mean, this shit is, fucking ridiculous"

Merry Xmas---www.new-vinyl.blogspot.com

Love this board...4 page thread on nothing more than a date

Per their mailing list, it appears that pre-orders (on their site anyway) will go live on Monday, Jan 26th

I'm pretty sure it was around $30 shipped. I remember the total wasn't that much more than what I paid for it at Interpunk.

They put a few leftovers of this Live RSD 2LP up in DCFC's online store for $29.99 (better than the $80+ Ebay prices).
 
Hurry!!
