Just got four... Appears to be a hack of sorts. Each of the emails contains a different password to login... Be careful, folks.

PO = tomorrow for Nothing Feels Good. http://www.jadetree.com/news/2015/9/16/announcing-the-repress-of-nothing-feels-good ...was hoping for a Promise Ring reissue similar to Pedro The Lion's from not too long ago with the entire Jade Tree discography in one fell swoop. Still crossing my fingers that the Electric Pink and Horse Latitudes EP's gets a vinyl release. Maybe someday.

Two labels come to mind that pressed oodles of the 10 inchers... pre-2000. Sm:)e Communications and SST Records Both whom I adore. My interpretation of these two labels pressing an abundance 10"s were kind of a fuck you to the status quo. And I like that. But hey, to each their own. This one still reigns supreme in my collection: Weezer - Say It Ain't So ...and this (because the 7" doesn't do the Pettibone art justice): http://www.discogs.com/Minutemen-Paranoid-Time/release/1201994

Interesting topic. I have a couple portable record player's from Japan - a Vestax, and the following one (Columbia) that you're able to mount to a wall and play vertically - http://turntablelab.com/products/columbia-gp3-portable-turntable-japan-import-used

As a person who has felines... and prefers them over canines (yep.), I can certainly attest to this statement. (And for the records, my cats have done far worse than that photo.) Especially the plastic sleeves. That isn't the worse thing to happen though... I have stacks of records in the living room next to the sofa, or on the side of the bed, someplace to sit, etc. from time to time... usually someplace accessible to my meow meows because they like to lay their lazy bones where ever they want. I would sometimes come home in the afternoon or evening to find kitty puke on the top of a stack of records. They are chronic vomiters, after all. It's disgusting. It's like parenting in a way with our cats. I also have a 9 year old son who, when he was an infant and crawling and such, had a tendency to put books and paper products in his mouth.... same went with my records. (sigh.) Not too salivated and soiled, though. (Fortunately, he doesn't do that anymore.) So long as you love them, you really can't go wrong.

I never quite gave any thought into the promo gold stamped albums in my collection, however, do recall the sound quality of them to be superb. Off the top my head, I believe most of the one's I have in my possession to be primarily from Warners and Elektra, and, from the 80's. Almost certain I have one or more from the following.... Alan Vega Elvis Costello The Stranglers The Clash The Jesus and Mary Chain Billy Bragg Revelation Records Bob Dylan

http://blog.turnaboutmedia.com/staff-posts/the-back-beat-edition-3-adam-pfahler-california-formerly-of-jawbreaker/ ...a recent interview with Adam which includes some info and such regarding the reissue(s) AND... a JAWBREAKER BOX SET "of everything with the addition of a bunch of live stuff."

Such fond memories... http://boards.vinylcollective.com/topic/55188-tron-legacy-soundtrack-vinyl-release/?hl=%20tron%20%20legacy

Spin posted a splendid article yesterday (the 23rd) with Tim Owen regarding the past, present, and future of Jade Tree. http://www.spin.com/articles/jade-tree-records-tim-owen-interview/ ...which includes this quote "We're going to reissue some of the bigger records, like Promise Ring and Jets to Brazil." (I'm) Still hoping that Swiz vinyl reissue is happening...

NOW shipping...

The Vinyl Flat.... it works.

Maladroit was the last, great Weezer album... in my opinion. Had (somewhat) high hopes hearing Mr. Ocasek was involved... but after hearing that single off the new album... sigh. If only Rivers wrote more heartfelt stuff such as this one...
