I as super excited for the Chris Isaak, Beyond the Sun reissue until I realized it's a single disc with only half the songs of the original pressing.

I see that the silver has pre-orders in US, EU and Australia. It's not crazy to think that these will be 3 separate pressings at different plants.

Yes, there is a difference between the U.S. Blood red and the EU/UK red. The Euro version is a much brighter red.

10th Anniversary edition of Elsie available for pre-order tomorrow. This pressing will apparently include demo versions too:

I got my 39 Smooth and I pretty convinced it is old Lookout stock based on the glossiness of the sleeve, the condition of the shrink wrap, and the aging of the sleeve.

Interesting. If these are actual "warehouse finds" of this pressing, that would be pretty rad.

The seller jacked the price up. You're not imagining.

Right, I think that's definitely the one it's supposed to be. My question is how likely is it that this is a legitimate Lookout press as opposed to a bootleg. I see that the seller keeps adding more copies as they sell. It just seems weird to me that a seller would have so many sealed copies of this version, which has been out of print for many years. I know warehouse stock shows up from time to time so it's definitely possible this is legit. I'll be sure to inspect the matrix etching and labels when my copy arrives.

On a related note, I’m thinking the 20 copies this eBay seller has of the Lookout press have gotta be bootlegs, right? I grabbed one and there are still 4 left as I’m typing this. https://www.ebay.com/itm/373695918919?_trksid=p11021.c100851.m5053&_trkparms=https://www.ebay.com/itm/373695918919?_trkparms=aid=1110006&algo=HOMESPLICE.SIM&ao=1&asc=20170803121420&meid=e979699e9bee4d03a301abb6d8bb0f5e&pid=100851&rk=1&rkt=4&b=1&sd=154585562411&itm=373695918919&pmt=0&noa=1&pg=11021&algv=DefaultOrganic&_trksid=p11021.c100851.m5

Looks like this was repressed since copies are showing up again and brick and mortar retailers.

Rough Trade UK also has an yellow variant (also updating original post): https://www.roughtrade.com/gb/the-specials/protest-songs-1924-2012/lp-plus If anyone sees a US pre-order, please post.

Please lock this thread already.

Looking to trade this for other 90's pop punk. I'm specifically looking for Screeching Weasel, Anthem for a New Tomorrow (original or repress). I'm also open to other trades (see my discogs list for a sense of what I'm into).
