A different issue came up when I tried using this. I am in Canada and sell on various sites and as 95% of my sales were to US buyers I just list in US $ and figure out US equivalant of the postage rates.  The issue is when you sign up to have the fees deducted it automatically changes your listing currency to that of the country you are from WITHOUT applying the current exchange rate and there is no option to switch back to say US$. So an item I may have listed for $50 in US$ now is listed as $50 but in Canadian $.  I can’t believe discogs could screw that up so badly, ideally they still give the option to list in a different currency but for pucks sake if they are forcing the currency change than they at least they should apply the exchange rate it to the current listings.

This was the initial pressing released on Record Store Day, hand numbered out of 500, has a unique cover. May be black but it is still pretty cool with the hand numbering and different cover.  I remember Sunrise Records had tons of them on that RSD way back in 2011.

Seems like cheapest option with postage for Canadians is to order from the Australian store fyi.

I had no idea this version even existed

I will leave this right here, 30 years overdue!

Wow the Sloan boys do it right! Ordered Monday when announced, they shipped the next day and it arrived today, fastest turnaround from pre-order to delivery ever! Looks like less than 300 left as well for those who have not ordered yet.

This is back up on Dine Alone fyi.

Picked up The Crow on Juno a few min ago.

This actually has free shipping worldwide if pre-ordered, not just within the USA. Being from Canada I am not used to that at all,  nice!

Pretty good deal on 5 albums at 100 loonies, most released for the first time:

Any Canadian label should look into a service like Chit Chat Express for cheap shipping to the US. They basically charge about a loonie per package to drive a crapload of packages to the US and then ship with USPS so you get to use those rates! So I can ship a record from Canada to the US for about $5-$6 with them using media mail. Shipping within Canada still sucks though.

Dine Alone has put these up for sale, limited edition of 100 will probably be gone by the time you read this:

For those interested price is $150 plus postage but you will have to cough up the monthly fee of $5 to become a vip member if you want to order (you can cancel this after your first month though if you want).

Jason Isbell Sirens of the Ditch  on piss swirl up, guessing this sells out fast so be quick!

So I saw this box set on ebay Tues night for sale with a Buy it Now price of $19.11 (Canadian $). Seller was importcds-ca with a kabillion feedback so bought it figuring it would be cancelled or the wrong record would be sent. It was also free shipping and to my shock arrived  today only 2 days later. Needless to say I'm going to be buying a lottery ticket this weekend!

Think this was limited to 100 in the Canadian store:

The Tea Party album Transmissions on red vinyl out next month. Not sure if limited but here is the link.

This seems to have leaked today.

Only thought I have... why was this delivered to a side door?

I was wondering that myself, the mailman had to open a gate to get in my backyard so maybe they were in a pissy mood at having to deliver all the records over the few years beforehand and tried to screw me over on one of them ... either way it was just really crazy to see that package sitting there and even crazier it survived!

I wish the buried treasure was some rare Beatles first pressing but seeing as I never order anything like that I was just happy it was still in 1 pc. Here are some pictures, have to give a big shout out to Bags Unlimited as it was their mailer that kept it preserved all that time. And as for the shitting box here is a pic with minimal shit. One of my fav jokes goes like this....Do you like cleaning shit out of a small box? Get a cat.

Crazy thing happened today. 6 years ago we bought a house and there was a side door to the house into the laundry room that the previous owner had bolted shut after having their house broken into. We never bothered to use it and left the bolted locks on it, just put the cats shitting box in front of the door and never thought about it for the past 6 years. Fast forward to today, me and my daughter were outside playing in the first snowfall of the year and decided to bug the shit out of my wife who was cranky inside the house playing some nicky nicky nine doors on her. We started at the front door of course but then decided to open the screen door at the side of the house to give a knock to that bolted up side door with the cats shit box on the other side. I guess I had never opened that outside side door since we moved in 6 years ago as to my shock sitting there was a uline type record mailer with bugs and crud all over it. I checked the date stamped on it and it was friggin May if 2012. The damn thing had been there for almost 5 years!! What the hell! I was sure it would be a disaster after opening that mailer up as it had basically been outside here in Canada for all that time.  The sender did a great job packing it as the bloody thing was in great shape still!  I had no clue what was inside though but doubted it was something of any value and was probably something I had either purchased again or didn't give a crap about anymore. Well it was neither, it was a record still on my want list that I never managed to get around to purchasing and the only album by this band I was still missing on vinyl. It was the original pressing of the Photo Album by Death Cab for Cutie and I know it was the original as the repress came out like 2 years after that damn package was delivered to the side door!

I got Clumsy on Friday from Amazon.ca. I haven't had a chance to spin it but the packaging is okay, Nothing special. Vinyl is black and pretty heavy weight.

I picked this up today at HMV on translucent yellow so it sounds like there are 3 variants.

65 more put up on the Aussy site today, around 15 left. Postage to Canada is brutal though, almost $50!
