Good catch on the pressing info.  I checked out those tweets – didn't see anything for that silver Fake Train though.  Did I miss it or have you seen it mentioned elsewhere?

Also, maybe I looked right over it, but where did you gather that the blue Dessau is opaque?

Didn’t see any info on Fake Train. I don’t think they mentioned it, on any of their socials, at all, yesterday. Same way they didn’t mention any of the other Unwound color variants until far after we all knew about them.

As for Dessau, sea blue used to mean a light translucent blue years ago, but recently I’ve noticed it being a deep opaque blue (refer back to that insanely stupid Touche thread from a couple years ago). So it’s purely speculation. But anytime I’ve seen a sea blue variant, within the last five years, it’s been a dark solid blue. The mock up definitely makes me think it will be. If not, well fuck me!

For Codeine, you can’t lose with either choice.  They’re both great picks.

(None of this factors in potential rarity, if that’s something that drives your decision.  If so, I’d provably grab whatever is not featured in bundles.)

Just my 2¢.

They do mention pressing numbers in the tweets, from today. Everything in the bundle seems to be the most rare variants that are on their store. Outside of the white Karate box.

I had to go with the green, I’m not sure I can fuck with opaque sea blue anymore, even though I do probably have more green records than almost anything else.

Also, I really do like green Duster box, but your point is totally on. I’m considering grabbing a second one, if they last until next week or I can get rid of some shit.

Goddamnit! 🤦‍♀️
 

Looks like I need to offload a good chunk of crap laying around the record room.

I’ll give you $10 PPD for it.

2016/17 pressings of Sorry About Tomorrow, Eudora, and both RFTC records for $75. Deal!

Seems like I waited too long and the KR’s variant is sold out too 😑

or if I’m on vacation and plan on traveling with a TON of records (which happens more often than not haha)

Pooooooof! This just reminded me that my partner and I are going to the South for two weeks in less than two weeks. I didn’t even think about this until now, because I feel like, subconsciously, I was trying to get away from buying records, and just my life in music. Who the fuck am I kidding?!

Anyways, still haven’t listened yet, but I’m very very much excited. Landed yesterday, and the deluxe tri-color looks so cool. I’m gonna use the slip mat as a frisbee I just throw at the cats.

Does anyone know if DAZE shipped out those Foreign Hands LPs yet? 

Pretty sure it was only the rarest variant. I got mine. But they’re still waiting on the other.

Anyone seeing the Chisel that can grab the tour press of the new record for me? Couldn’t make the Boston gig. Positive karma for anyone who can 😬

For real though, there’s a tour press of Retaliation?? 
 

I was on the fence about taking the night off work and driving 2 hours, each way alone, but this may have sealed the deal.

Any pics?

Hey, they had to remove all evidence of "he who shall not be named". That explains the big difference in the back and gatefold artwork compared to the previous 2012 and OG pressing. 

Didn’t even think about that. Eh, I have a copy of the original pressing, good enough.

Wish I wasn’t a bonehead and gotten the 10th Anniversary Tour copy. The overall layout is much better than this recent repress.

Glad I woke up early today, and even more glad that Relaspe’s site crashed and I was able to get /138 at 8:30 AM.

Example for the indie exclusives slightly cheaper than bv and pv (they have the blacks too) 

 

Oxeneers

https://downinthevalley.com/UPC/045778221301

 

Easter

https://downinthevalley.com/UPC/045778221400

Yeah, if they’re retailing for $26, I’m more than cool with BV. SOLD!

man these old tracks are so good.  Love this band. 

Can't remember if i have Oshin yet or not haha, ooof.  Is that how you know you have too many records? 

That’s how you know you need to discover Discogs.

Big old bump on this motha fucka!

Been waiting for these for a long while, and I doubt PV is going to have an exclusive copy of Easter. 250 each left on BV, could have the rest of the day to think about this.

I kicked myself for not buying the 7”s when they were around for a while. So I may pick that up.

I’m in the same boat as most of y’all. Own a copy of the screened cover blue. I may fuck with it, down the line, but we have vacation coming up that’s killing me monetarily.

Nobody ever answers me when I ask but are the more recent pressings in a better jacket? The earlier pressings are in a wide spine jacket for no reason and it sucks.

I mean, I’d assume so. When was this released, 2015? RFC couldn’t have bought 15,000 jackets and keep using the same for represses. Though I do know that’s how things do work with labels.

Or the easier answer could be, that I own an 11th pressing(😄) and the jacket is totally fine. Haha

Was able to grab Future and HBMS from 1234Go. Pretty stoked.

Everything, else, I wanted I don’t need, or I’m pretty certain, I’ll be able to pick up in the next 7-14 days.

First time in a long time the list of records I really wanted was less than a dozen.

RT also have the annoying tendency of canceling your order at the last minute due to “unforeseen stock shortages”.  I’ve had better luck with Norman’s packaging jobs over the years too.

Fucking screwed me over on the Mogwai EP box and never let me know. I had to email them and find out on my own. Haven’t seen how much it’s going for now, but that one hurt.

Rough Trade fuckin suck balls. Even if there was real savings I'd avoid them.

I do fuck with many of their exclusives, I like the fact that I won’t have to pay for these until Nov, and they’ve been good about the weird shipping fuck ups they’ve had. But yeah, they pretty bad. 
 

I need all three those and have to figure out what’s best for my poor bank account. These ain’t cheap.

Duster have like recently exploded with zoomer fans for some reason and now we can't have nice things. I swear their Instagram followers were half of what they are now last year, maybe even less. They have 10k more followers than Built to Spill now for instance. Oh well got a new album.

I blame Alex G and the internet. It’s all good though. Let’s the kids be into good shit.
 

Also, I’m more than okay about gatekeeping anything and everything. How do you think I became the asshole I am today? Years and years of having to deal with crap and figure it out. The younger generation(s) need more of that to help them along this path. There’s too much “kid gloves” when it comes to how children are with music and culture these days. Not to mention how they speak and act about it as well. 

Bumping this thread almost made me

jump out of bed. 🤦‍♀️

3000. Two variants. One of each variant per customer.

The midnight opening I remember the most was February 28/29, 2000 for Smashing Pumpkins Machina. It was at Magic Platter in Birmingham, AL. 

The Tower Records, in San Diego, definitely had a midnight sale for Mellon Collie. Just remembered that one. That was a big deal.
