Thanks for your efforts with the preorders, really appreciated. I know I speak for others who don't post as often. Cheers! 🤘

Hm... accounts with 11k-20k posts bullying someone with 2.7k posts about spending too much time online when he's actually helping people out. Interesting... 😆

For me it goes Blue Album, Pinkerton, Greatest Hits. Weezer became a Greatest Hits band, imo. 😆 I feel like they take more of a "throw a buncha shit at the wall and see what sticks" approach to songwriting. Kind of like Green Day's trilogy, I really don't mind them releasing a lot of music. Not every song needs to be a huge hit to be enjoyable. Although I did enjoy Green Album, Make Believe, and Hurley to varying extents. I'll admit that I really haven't listened to a full album after EWBAITE. I prefer an album every year with maybe only one or two really good songs as opposed to the approach of 5 years in between every album, which could turn out with only one or two good songs anyway.

Ah, my mistake.

Anyone but SRC

47.99? Yikes!

I just used crates and packed them in my uhaul with blankets and pillows on top to prevent anything falling on them. I did take a portion of my more valuable records and put them in boxes of 20-25 records each just for added protection though.

Would sure love to see a photo if someone out there has all of the variants.

I had 10 copies of Green Day's Warning album before I had to admit that I had a problem. lol Those were all different variants though. That's a long time to hold those investments, but a good move if you can afford to HODL. Cheers!

I didn't start collecting Coheed vinyl until the Afterman releases, which are still my favorite. Kinda lost interest after the last album but I gotta keep my collection going!

I keep my distance for reasons as well. I feel ya. On a totally unreleated note, I think I know what Kindergarten teachers must feel like on November 1st. 😆

Love this band. May have to pick up the tour variant. True story: I once sold the bassist Bill a copy of their Short Songs EP. I guess it was a variant he didn't already have. Met the band members a handful of times over the years. Talked a bit with Shane just about life in general during a meet n greet. Shane was kinda hitting on my GF at the time until he realized we were together. I blame her for trying to get backstage with him. lol Talked to Bill briefly about sports as they were cleaning up their gear after a show. Great guys, can't support them enough.

To an extent, yes. Otherwise we'd all be listening to flexis. A thicker record can hold deeper grooves and the weight helps it stay flat with less movement on the turntable. But IDK if they need to be 180g to acheive this. I have had vinyl that felt thinner than standard and did notice a decline in sound quality. But between a standard vinyl and 180g, if there is a difference it probably isn't going to be noticeable for most unless maybe you have a really high end sound system and turntable.

Last time I ordered anything from SRC, it was Bush - Sixteen Stone when it was released on white vinyl. Ordered two copies, after a few months of it never arriving I contacted them. No response. I contact them again, no response. After raising hell on their FB someone finally got back to me and sent the record. I received one damaged copy on black vinyl. When they released the Angus soundtrack (must have for my Green Day collection), I intentionally paid double to buy it from a flipper to avoid SRC. Never spent a dime on SRC releases after that.

I was one of those who got burned in the MTS/RJ scandal. SRC definitely carries RJ's torch. 😄

Uh oh. lol

Any idea when the vinyl are/were supposed to ship?

GoDaddyBookkeeping worked great for me. You import all of your PP or Bank transactions and can itemize everything there. You might have to keep a seperate total of prices that you paid for items that were purchased over a year ago. Only need to subscribe for a month ($9.99) long enough to itemize your taxes, then cancel the subscription.

Looks like Billie Joe's car got stolen the other day. Sweet looking vehicle too. https://www.nme.com/news/music/green-days-billie-joe-armstrong-appeals-for-information-after-his-car-was-stolen-3154961

I'm over here like "Just get to the aliens, already!" 😆

Biggest album sleeve ever. 😆

You must be a real hit with the ladies. 😆
