RSD 2019 Limited and First Releases
AlexH. replied to Temper io's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Same! But it stresses me out that it's an RSD exclusive release, limited to such a small amount considering the heavily established demand! There are fewer copies being pressed of this (untouchable classic, a $300 record all day) than of the RSD-First reissue of Mickey Mouse Disco (a worthless bullshit dollar bin filler, NM copies for $2.99 on Discogs)! -
PO: Starflyer 59 - Young In My Head
AlexH. replied to DarrenMcCall's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Wonder why the pressing is so small. The Silver re-reissue sold through 500 copies in about a month, and that thing was like 30 bucks. -

New album coming out in April on Mama Bird Recording Co. No other real info other than a new song, and judging by the credits, it'll be an acoustic-only album. https://tunes.mamabirdrecordingco.com/album/in-the-shape-of-a-storm

PO NOW: Pedro The Lion - Phoenix (1/18/2019)
AlexH. replied to zaoza's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
My clear copy sounds great. I always avoid the Pirates Press splatters, I've never owned one that didn't sound subpar, although I've heard that a deep cleaning will address some of that. That said, I do have an Early Bird edition on the way that I had preordered through Bandcamp and never bothered to cancel. This album is amazing, definitely up there with Bazan's best work. And I say that as a lifelong fan. -
PO: Springsteen on Broadway Soundtrack 4xLP

This whole show is now on Netflix if you want a preview. Just gotta find an extra 2 ½ hours to watch it... Bruce's stage banter is half the fun of seeing him live - Exhibit A: -
P.O.S “NEVER BETTER (10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY EDITION)"
AlexH. replied to Deathbyart's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
The original pressing always struck me as kind of lame - a single pocket with no insert, especially compared with the CD which is easily the coolest packaging I have ever owned. That said, I probably won't upgrade to the new pressing, but I would've been all in for a big dumb $80 package that recreated the CD packaging in some way. -
Rosie Thomas - "A Very Rosie Christmas" LP
AlexH. replied to AlexH.'s topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
RSD version is red, and it seems a lot of places have leftovers online for around $16. -
This was a Black Friday "RSD First" release and is now available from Rosie directly. Red (/1000) or black vinyl. If you like Sufjan's first Christmas box set, or soft earnest "nice" music like The Innocence Mission, Denison Witmer, Iron & Wine etc., this is the Christmas album for you. https://rosiethomas.bandcamp.com/album/a-very-rosie-christmas
-
It's an "RSD First" release, it'll get a wider release at some point. Plus with 3500 pressed, there will more than likely be copies that go up tonight after stores close.

Po soon : Foxy Shazam - Foxy Shazam
AlexH. replied to gazzo's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
I recently went down a Discogs rabbit hole that included looking up all those represses SH/VC did at their peak and it's crazy how many of those albums go for money now. I straight up *gave away* at least 2 of those Heavy Heavy Low Low records to people who bought stuff from me, I had a ton of those Ferret titles from buying a few grab bag type things near the end that I probably ended up taking to the record store with other unsellable stuff, now most of them are $50+. Same with the Co-op releases, as much of a clusterfuck as that was. Definitely would not have predicted that when Virgil dropped off the face of the earth and the guy from Deathwish was on here making Fuck You Pay Me threads. -
http://store.doomtree.net/category/10-year-anniversary $25 for self-titled, $20 for False Hopes, $40 for the bundle. I know the OG pressing of s/t is a pricey record these days.

PO NOW: Switchfoot - Native Tongue
AlexH. replied to DarrenMcCall's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
These guys sound like Imagine Dragons now I'm still holding out hope for vinyl pressings of the first three records, which to me are the peak of that era of Christian rock. -

Pedro The Lion entire Catalogue Repress
AlexH. replied to tokimedo's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Maybe Bazan's camp got wind of it and squashed it, although I suppose they don't really have any authority/leverage to do anything about it. -

PO: Dr. Dog - Critical Equation OUT 4/27
AlexH. replied to Oblivions's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
PIAPTK has an advance edition of their newsletter for frequent customers, and they put up 25 copies for the people on that list. 50 more copies go up on October 5th. -
IMO, Silver & Gold is waaaay uneven. Sounds like it was a lot more fun to make than listen to. I own the boxset, and I don't even put Volume 7 on, as it pretty much goes back and forth between austere choral arrangements (which are amazing) and super goofy novelty songs like "I Am Santa's Helper (You Are Santa's Slave)". Volume 8 is pretty rough at times as well. I will say that it still contains some of his finest Christmas material, and the last two songs - Justice Delivers Its Death and Christmas Unicorn - are among his best songs ever, period. Songs for Christmas, on the other hand, is unimpeachably great from start to finish. Chronologically it goes from just before Michigan to the Illinois era, so he wasn't doing as much stuff with synths and computers, and it just suits the Christmas season better. And I love bleep bloopy Sufjan, but during Christmas I'd rather hear something more organic and unobtrusive.

I'm local, so I preordered in person. Maybe try disabling adblock? That usually makes those kinds of problems go away for me.

Can't believe no one made a thread for this. It comes out tomorrow and it fuckin rules. The Loser edition is sold out online, but there's another variant - clear with pink streaks - exclusive to Electric Fetus and available online here: https://www.electricfetus.com/UPC/098787125030/Low_Double-Negative They're also doing an in-store and signing at Electric Fetus tomorrow night. I'm going and I'm excited to see how this new material translates to live performance.

Totally forgot that Saddle Creek has free shipping, instant preorder for me. Song sounds goooood The Saddle Creek color is nothing special, but it's better than glow-in-the-fuckin-dark, which should be relegated exclusively to Ghostbusters RSD singles for all eternity.

Maybe Epitaph will eventually press the albums they originally put out on CD? They’re pretty good at getting stuff back in print, considering the size of their catalog. But yeah, there are dozens of pressings of all the albums, they should be relatively easy to find secondhand.
