Nada Surf - The Proximity Effect

What's the pressing on the new LP?

http://www.musicdirect.com/products/detail.asp?sku=WRYANADAMS In case anyone missed out on some of the original pressings of these records they are pressing 2500 copies TOTAL of the records and Musicdirect has a nice bundle of all 5 that'll save you some money. I've got all these already, but thought some of you might be interested. They also have Easy Tiger on orange available for preorder as well.

I see nothing wrong with labels selling tests, Bridge 9 and Deathwish have done it in the past and no one complains, so I don't see why you should even give a second thought to selling them yourself.

10000 on awesome.

eh, the pic disc of that's not a promo is it?

Chung King?

I'm not one to usually DL albums, but I'll admit to looking for this now. I must note that I've preordered it on LP and the CD/DVD combo already as well.

One of the guys in Silverstein just bought a Set Your Goals record from me on Ebay.

That's a pretty good deal, I've seen it go close to $100 before

I have one of those as well, I forgot all about that since it was something I didn't have to bid or trade for. I got the Hookers (pre-Murder City Devils) test the same way, the first 20 preorders got one on White.

That's a stellar setup. I built something similar in my apartment for my DVD collection a few years back. I want to be collector of the month and break out my Gremlins 5x7"/books

Ebay years ago. I actually won 1 more and they never shipped it.

That is a pretty cool record. I can't stand the Locust, but the "body fluid" shaped records they put a few years back were pretty neat looking. They also put out a few 5" square records, which is pretty cool as well.

Test presses are like the holy grail to most hardcore collectors it seems, I can take em or leave em usually, but I've managed to get some at a pretty good deal over the years. Here's what I got: Tuesday - Freewheelin' LP Death Wish Kids - 1st 7" Death Wish Kids - There's Nothing.... Murder City Devils / Glucifer 7" Murder City Devils - Thelma 10" Pretty Girls Make Graves - Sub Pop 7" Pretty Girls Make Graves - Sad Girls 7" I also have New Order and Joy Division tests, but there were hundreds pressed and most were used as radio station promos. What all you got?

I paid $75 for the Alkaline Trio - Sundials 7" years and years ago, but it arrived broken and I got my money back and have the shards of vinyl of the record. I paid a little over $100 for my second copy of Lucero's Attic Tapes LP a while back and only grabbed it due it being in better shape the original I bought from the band years ago (it was in a van and got a tiny bit dinged up) and the fact that a kid I know was going to give me $200 for my old copy....so now I have 2.

Comeback Kid - "Wake The Dead" - Green (887) Comeback Kid - "Wake The Dead" - Baby Blue (330) Comeback Kid - "Wake The Dead" - Blue (944) Comeback Kid - "Wake The Dead" - Tour Press #ed 69/90 this is the first I've heard of a pic disc.

If you're a fan of Lifetime I suggest picking up the Heads vs. Breakers record. Amazing album from a band that went away far too soon.

Congrats Oakland!

How in the heck did you get this?? And how in the heck did no one else on here already ask this??? I've seen various RIAA awards on Ebay over the years. I lost a Neil Young one once by $10.

Check out www.howsyouredge.com/swap they have a nice listing of scammers & rip offs.

Sabot still has blue copies....

Yeah, I have a few records like that. They always look ace. I thought the Hold Steady Boys & Girls LP's on pink & blue looked awesome and also fit the theme/art of the record.

What's your favorite vinyl color or design (swirl/half&half/splatter)? I'm really like the coke bottle clear that was pretty popular a few years back and certain versions of the splatter design, although it was done to death there for a while.
