  1. About five years late to the party here I realize, since I just came around to Dallas in the last few weeks. I had picked up a promo CD copy of this release at work about 2-3 years ago at this point and only finally listened to it, but when I did was was instantly hooked and have been checking out his other releases too. All really great. "Woman" does seems like a unique entry point, but it really drew me in. So a couple questions related to this release, if I may? 

    1. Are all the vinyl pressings of this pressed at 45rpm? I'm seeing a bit of conflicting info. 

    2. Where can I find a reasonable new copy of this in the US, so as to not pay the shipping from CA? I've looked at most of the usual places. Maybe someone here has one they want to sell? 

    3. Is there a C&C catch all thread here, that I've not yet found? 

     

    Thanks in advance for the info!

    If it makes you feel better there’s a record I sent to France at the beginning of February that hasn’t arrived there either for whatever reason and I’m also in Brooklyn. It hasn’t toured the US like yours but I’m worried there’s a pattern shipping there right now.

    Mine arrived in Paris today, so there is some hope in this world, as least for us record junkies.

    RELEASE DATE: 3/12/21

    Seemless was an American metal group formed by ex-Shadows Fall/Unearth drummer Derek Kerswill, Killswitch Engage vocalist Jesse Leach, and Overcast/Killswitch Engage guitarist Pete Cortese. This debut full-length is now available for the very first time on vinyl in the form of a 2xLP. 2xLP includes an etched D-side. This is the black/gold vinyl version, limited to 400 copies.

     

    Good friends of mine and a long time in the works. This was from 2004 and initially a EVR release, but was never put out on vinyl until now. It sounds really great also. 

  4. Mid January I purchased a record from Berlin, Germany and it got to me in ten days, which I was impressed by. Maybe it's because it was going from one major city to another, me being in New York.

     

    Flip side of this, I shipped an album to France and it should have went to the main mail center here in Queens, and then right to JFK and onto a plane, as is often the case. Sometime they go to Newark instead. Anyway, here's what is did. Read from the bottom up. Pretty crazy and still not in France after two weeks. I'm not mad, I'm just forever baffled at the time, energy and money wasted on moving something to a destination. Things have definitely improved overall since Christmas time. I've sent a few things to the midwest in nearly record time, so that's really great.

  5. Not angry, but once again baffled at the antics of the USPS. 

     

    Was driving to Maine on 12/19 from NYC and deliberately dropped a record in the mail in Worcester, MA in hopes of it getting to a friend within a reasonable time, who only lives 20 miles north. Did this also to hopefully avoid the NY/NJ USPS black hole. It was prepaid but then sat for at least a week unscanned and no tracking updates. Next time it was updated was back here in my zip code on the 28th and then went to Jersey City... aka package purgatory! I mean was the PO totally thrown by the fact that I sped up the process for them, so they had to bring it back here and start the process all over? 

  6. Saw and heard these guys for the first time ever last year here in Brooklyn, at St. Vitus. Feeling like I went to see an opener and stuck around to see them. Definitely a good band, but the vocals I found underwhelming and not necessary. Just play and skip the vocals. Either way, seems this band should be bigger, the show should have been sold out and packed, since they are from upstate NY. I'm also amused they named the band King Buffalo, when they're from Rochester, which is 90 miles away from Buffalo. Just being a geography nerd there I guess.

    Mine came with a pretty damaged jacket. Can't believe that someone who sells vinyl nowadays (Polyvinyl UK) still ships with this fucked up oldschool mailers (that without corner protection). My blood boils.. 🤬☹️😳

    I don't know what the deal is in the UK, but they seem have and use the shittiest record mailers there. It's not a box, it's typically a thin envelope, that does not hold up or protect corners. I ordered an indie title that Adam Franklin of Swervedriver put out earlier this year. Shipped by him I suspect and never cheap shipping from the UK to the states. Sure enough a big corner bend. Ticks me off!
