Really? I feel like this was the peak of their popularity in the CCM world, and Entertaining Angels is one of their biggest hits. 
That said, listening through this once cured me of any desire to buy this, although I did know every word by heart despite not hearing it in probably 15 years.

E-mail SMLXL about it and they should get you a replacement.

Announces box set. 
Announces one record in box set. 
"Now you have to buy another record every month to assemble your box set."
February rolls around, boxes are missing albums cause people missed drops, or didn't want another part of the box and opted not to buy the January record. Boxes are pushed back. No one knows how many boxes exist. People are looking for storage boxes for their Drive-Thru box sets. Box trucks carry thousands of DTR box sets to their new storage boxes awaiting box people to come and take their boxes. 

Perhaps I got overly worked up and offended, for that I apologize.
In this very particular case, this is exactly how the band wanted to release the product and they have final say over anything we put out of theirs. The standard edition is still very widely available as well, but they did not want to do the bsides/acoustic songs as their own release.
In regards to a $30 LP,  we aren't at $30 for a single LP  but we try to keep our prices as low as possible, but in a post covid world production costs have soured and unfortunately there's only so low we can go.

What about collecting all the tracks and putting them out on 12"s as a whole set. I'd be super into that!

Understandable. There are a couple more represses coming and there’s quite a few of the Let It Snow available so you could probably wait and bundle if you want.

Hey folks, I wanted to raise some awareness about a Discogs scam that almost got me.
 
Earlier this week I was about to buy the Bad Religion box set from a seller on Discogs who looked legit. Almost 300 items sold, high percentage of positive feedback, and appeared to be located in the UK. Price was below average but not so amazing that it was too good to believe. Figured the guy was just looking for a quick sale.
 
DM'd the guy with a few questions about condition and shipping and he got back to me quickly.  In hindsight, I should have asked for pictures too.
 
Anyway, I put my order through and go to pay.  I get an error. I try again and again over the course of an hour then I get a message from the seller saying "hey, is something wrong with the order?". I told him I was having issues with the Discogs payment at checkout and he gives me an email address to send payment direct via PayPal.
 
Not proud of myself but I almost did it. I actually tried to send the payment through but thank fuck it was flagged by PayPal security as a high dollar value international transfer and didn't go through. I go into PayPal's support chat to figure out what's up. Meanwhile I keep getting messages from the Discogs guy asking where the payment is.
 
PayPal confirmed that they flagged the transfer and asked me to confirm I wanted to send the money.  At the time I said yes and they said I was now clear to send at my discretion. This is when it dawned on me that there was no option to send the money Goods and Services - only Friends and Family. Red flag goes up and I messaged the Discogs dude that I am not going to send almost $900 CAD as Friends and Family - we need to figure something else out.
 
I wake up the next morning and my order is cancelled. Discogs guy is no longer responding to my messages.
 
At first I'm bummed that I missed a good deal and I'm mad that the Discogs checkout screwed me over. Then I think about it a little more and start Googling the same type of scenario. 
 
I'm pretty sure it's this scam:
https://www.discogs.com/forum/thread/951380?page=1&message_id=9630935
 
People's accounts are being hacked, items are posted for sale, their payment settings deliberately disabled, and then the scammer messages for a Friends and Family PayPal transfer. The other reason I think this is what happened to me is because PayPal customer support told me the guy's name tied to the PayPal account. I googled it afterwards and it's a Ukrainian name.
 
So now I think I dodged an expensive bullet but wanted to share my near miss with others.
 
Be smart about paying for stuff and maybe change your Discogs password. Stay safe out there.
 

ETR should’ve released it anyways but the “tribute” version with his buddies playing all the songs instead of the originals.

Nah that totally happened. I remember, it was interesting to say the least.

I need a copy of BE&A.

Not to mention this disappointing bump 23 hours later...
