It was nice to open this thread and not see a single sarcastic a-hole response that a post like this often (unfairly) elicits. Well done VC. I echo the suggestion that this is likely a stylus issue. If your turntable is super old, it's due for a new stylus anyway. They're pretty easy to replace.

Right but based on what I've gathered it seems many, many orders were cancelled based on limited stock.

Did you win the PowerBall?

Excited to see them this summer in Asbury.

Can someone with a Wal-Mart copy post the matrix etchings in the dead wax? I have a 2014 copy from the tour and this is what it has: Side A: "B0021185-01A RJ STERLING" Side B: "B0021185-01B RJ STERLING" For both sides everything is hand-etched except for the word "STERLING", which is machine-pressed EDIT: I just checked Discogs and these matrix etchings above aren't unique to the red/clear pressing so I'm not sure how useful this info will be unless the Wal-Mart copies have a completely different etching.

Ah ok. Thanks. This whole thing is just bizarre. As weird as it is for a major to do such a small pressing, it's almost as odd that additional copies don't see the light of day for 7 years and then show up at Walmart.

I thought the red/clear tour variant had a hype sticker saying it was a tour variant and that it was /300. Could be misremembering.

This was the only preorder thread I could find for this album. A new clear with black smoke indie exclusive variant is available for preorder at multiple stores (link to Criminal Records in Atlanta below). https://criminalatl.com/UPC/793888433700

Man., looking at that cover photo makes me realize how much old beeks has let himself go these last few years. Oy.

This was already posted in the Walmart thread but I wanted to also post it here for those interested. Walmart is selling an exclusive "red and clear" variant. Some are speculating that this is the tour press /300 but I find that hard to believe since you can add 100 copies to your cart per order (not to mention how odd it would be for copies of a 2014 pressing to show up at Walmart 7 years later). It is weird that they would repress another red and clear variant but that wouldn't be the first time that's happened with a TGA album. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Gaslight-Anthem-Get-Hurt-Limited-Edition/214618878

Virgil has a copy of the silk screened cover /60 on Ebay now: https://www.ebay.com/itm/233968661760?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3D9e3acc62735a445da89018c2b9d7b8e2%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D15%26mehot%3Dnone%26sd%3D233968661760%26itm%3D233968661760%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057&_trksid=p2380057.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3Ab97d25e9-a35b-11eb-baac-de4cd6237e78|parentrq%3Af948a6d61780a76449fb2785ffe357a6|iid%3A1

There's one of these on Ebay now: https://www.ebay.com/itm/233968661760?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3D9e3acc62735a445da89018c2b9d7b8e2%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D15%26mehot%3Dnone%26sd%3D233968661760%26itm%3D233968661760%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057&_trksid=p2380057.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3Ab97d25e9-a35b-11eb-baac-de4cd6237e78|parentrq%3Af948a6d61780a76449fb2785ffe357a6|iid%3A1

Looks like Virgil is selling a lot of records on Ebay (including some pretty rare stuff): https://www.ebay.com/sch/suburbanhomerecords/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=

My USPS dashboard tells me I have a package coming from "International Bridge Blue Bird" and that the label was recently created in Niagara Falls, NY. I've been waiting on a package from Spain that can't be tracked through USPS. I'm wondering if International Bridge Blue Bird is maybe the shipping partner for my item from Spain. Anyone had a situation like this before?

Nice. Rough Trade also has a black variant up: https://www.roughtrade.com/us/sharon-van-etten/epic-ten/lp-plus-x2

This pressing has a bonus disc of other artists covering all the album tracks. VMP has a silver/orange variant /500. I'm not gonna bite on this since I already have this record and it's not worth it to me to pay $40 just to have an extra disc of covers. That said, Epic is a great record and if you don't already have it, this may be up your alley: https://www.vinylmeplease.com/collections/new-this-week/products/sharon-van-etten-epic-ten DESCRIPTION epic Ten is a double LP of the original epic album from 2010 and a new album of epic covers, out digitally on April 16th and physically on June 11th via Ba Da Bing, plus a documentary and concert stream. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of epic’s release, and to acknowledge the convergence of Van Etten’s present and past work, she asked fellow artists she admired to cover one different song from epic. Featured artists include Fiona Apple, Lucinda Williams, Courtney Barnett, Vagabon, Big Red Machine (Aaron Dessner & Justin Vernon), IDLES, Shamir, and St. Panther. “epic represents a crossroads for me as an artist. Going from intern to artist at Ba Da Bing, from solo folk singer to playing with a band for the first time and beginning to play shows on tour where people showed up. I am in awe of the artists who wanted to participate in celebrating my anniversary and reissue, from young inspiring musicians, to artists who took me under their wing, who I met on tour, and to artists I’ve looked up to since I was a teenager. Each one of these artists continue to influence my writing and provide a sense of camaraderie during this new era of sharing music.” - Sharon Van Etten

I mean, you guys can make fun of this video all you want but have you actually tried the workout routine? After watching the video three times and following the moves, I'm already looking like the "after" photo for a Nutri-System commercial.

Yeah. I'm referring to a different release that's a 2xLP: https://www.discogs.com/Green-Day-1039-Smoothed-Out-Slappy-Hours/release/9226756

With all of the represses of 39 Smooth over the years (along with the bonus 7" editions), I'm really surprised they've never done a double LP version of "1,039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours" that combines 39 Smooth with all of the 7" tracks. I know that Lookout Records was going to issue this on vinyl but then Green Day pulled their catalogue so it never got passed the test pressing stage. Any hardcore Green Day fans have any insight into whether this is likely to ever happen?

Looks like Mr. Alex is having a moment:

Amazon has had this preorder up for a few months now but I've still not seen any other mention of this from Butch or anywhere else. https://www.amazon.com/American-Love-Story-Live-Quarantined/dp/B08LNLCHN6/ref=sr_1_1?crid=ICUQ8NW2VZ6K&dchild=1&keywords=butch+walker&qid=1609728977&s=music&sprefix=butch+walker%2Caps%2C253&sr=1-1

The amount of anger and aggression here is pretty over the top. I know the holidays can be stressful but geez.

Anybody on the eastern side of the Atlantic get this yet? Trying to figure out if there were different pressings for US and EU. My version is a much darker green than the mock up and it has a "made in the U.S.A." sticker on the shrink.

I think what you're saying is that if someone is truly principled about "cancelling' an artist based on that artist's misconduct, why should it matter whether the music is good or lousy? I think ntslash is candidly acknowledging that it's much easier to stick to your principles if you don't feel like you're sacrificing that much.

Nah you’re good: https://thehardtimes.net/culture/man-only-listens-to-canceled-bands-on-spotify-so-he-doesnt-support-them-monetarily/
