Black is pretty "niche" apart from the 1 euro Digger's Factory run. I would play out a standard black and I'm a fan of screen print aesthetic so you have me interested!

Blood Music & Fuzz both have black versions as well. And BM said that that was one of 2 most popular of the 5 they have up.

Did the exact same thing. Promised myself I was done, and the alternate cover got me. 

Yep same here, was looking at it whilst listening the album for the 1st time and it was just too beautiful to resist!! The vinyl colour effect looks a great one as well.

Just pulled the trigger on the lovely Gruesome Twosome version. MUST STOP THERE!!

I think that on 1st listen its up there with Float Along  / Oddments / Mind Fuzz for me. Really has grabbed me straight off. 

Tempting me to look at another variant!!!!!

So far 5 tracks in its certainly my favourite of the 4 this year

I know...I think I rather let my enthusiasm get the better of me yesterday! I'm just one of those that hate to miss on a new release..but this one is going to be impossible to get all of them....so i'm trying to restrain myself! But there's two Wax Mages out now...I wanna wax mage...and I haven't bought the VC one yet cos postage still hasn't been sorted out yet.....then there's the two on Homelessvinyl...which i'm for them to put the designs up....so to decide if I want those....neddlejuice have put up another variant called the 4th colour http://needlejuicerecords.com/product/polygondwanalandlp2/ and i'm still deciding on that Fishbum lathe cut one...it's just goes on and on!

 

Can somebody tell me what's so special about the Fishbum one? I thought all records were lathe cut...but obviously not....how are normal records made then?

I can tell you that Lathe cut ones will usually have a lot of surface noise and imperfections. Just an inherent part of the hand cut process

Am thinking of one more varrant with the inverted artwork

Lathe cuts are always one-sided, right? I'd probably go for a 45rpm version too.

 

Slow evening- only 2 new variants announced

Nope lathe cuts don't need to be one-sided. Got a 7 inch lathe cut on both sides only this week

Haha my 5 looks restrained in comparison!

The Kickstarter charity version from myself and Vinyl Moon is a guaranteed knock-out. VM has been delivering monthly high quality records for over two years with a focus on packaging and sound quality. 

Just backed this as my 4 & probably last variant (famous last words!!)

I wanna chime in here just cause I know its a common misconception, pirates press is not a pressing plant, they are a broker to GZ, there are 100s of brokers to GZ, GZ is located in the Czech Republic and is one of the largest plants in the world with 65+ presses in operation. 

Yep GZ is massive! And a few of the already announced versions of this will certainly being done by them

Most of these are going to sound the same because they’ll all be from the same vinyl master. It’ll come down to things that will effect sound. Ie splatter, hand made, black etc. Black vinyl theoretically will sound the best.

The pressing plant used also makes a huge difference regardless of the same master being used for all

Missing from the list of variants is a Black vinyl version from Blood Music.

As per their facebook this morning: "We will decide on final pressing quantities of all on Friday. As of right now, splatter & Black are the most popular, we will most likely cap the solid color ones (Red, Blue, Yellow) at this moment at a very low quantity to keep those special and very limited. But we will see how the orders continue until Friday"

kgatlw bootlegs? yeah, no thanks 

 

wake me when the Flightless PO goes up 

You'll be waiting a long time as it seems that they are not pressing any physical release themselves. Just putting the files out there for all to do as they wish. So these are not bootlegs at all.

Picked up a blood music version.  They seem like a high quality label.   There’s going to be so many variants of this anyway.  This was pretty reasonably priced for a King Gizz variant too

Probably will be the 1st to actually arrive on vinyl too as he's already getting pressing plant slots lined up!

Ha. That wasn't long. How legit is this? 

Totally legit. If the band are releasing the files as they stated then every label in the world is free to press it if they wish. And Blood Music are a reputable label who are willing to do so. 

You'll find that lots of bootleg only labels will eventually end up pressing it as well down the line.

It was also on the Flightless instagram page 3 hrs before the drop

Just wondering why tt5b is 12 euro more then hot sauce at eu store

Yeah was puzzling over this, especially as TT5B is the only one that I need. As they are both 2lp the only thing that should be able to explain it would be if TT5B has some extra fancy packaging

Went to order To The 5 Boroughs and its £42 including shipping from the uk site. Not a great deal!

Over £10 cheaper for me to order on Amazon.com and ship it from the US

Will it only be the one volume this season...

Yes both Lakeshore & Invada confirmed to me that its just one volume

My order (for the standard LP) from Recordstore.co.uk was also cancelled because they couldn't fulfil the PO. Their mail said that the distributor had removed the item.  They still have the box set up for order but I've not seen the standard LP up for order anywhere in the UK.

It seems like the most badly mismanaged reissue of a major title for sometime.
