I know they are sorting out legal issues with their former label. I had a PO in for it and now it says shipping September 2022. So IDK if that has to do with plant delays, or they just pushed it a bit in hopes that the legal stuff gets resolved.

To be fair, sourdough bread is really fuckin' good when done right.

Actually, jokes aside, there was this dude in a Facebook group for Boris who was gloating about keeping his latest purchases not only sealed, but contained within their mailers.  I'm not sure if he thought that exposure to air would somehow taint the music but he received so much flack for the post – rightfully so – that he initially got defensive over other people "telling [him] how to spend [his] money", but quickly removed his posts when he couldn't keep up with the text abuse.  I'll never forget that guy.  One of his main interests on Facebook was sourdough bread.

I love how people complain about paying 70 dollars with shipping for an album that was previously only available for 400 dollars, without a booklet at that. If you guys would have seen an OG black copy for 70 bucks on ebay you would have bought it immediately. I mean, yeah, it is over-priced, but we're talking about the same band where the bassist sells the records on his own website for triple the price a few months after they sell out.

Which variant?

When I get nominated to appear in an episode of ‘Hoarders’.

The thing is, seeing how the CWA pressing went, you'll have this first batch and they've released it like "this is limited woooooOooOoo" but then a few months later there'll be just regular black vinyl. Then a signed copy. Then a limited edition print + record. Then a super special limited edition that comes with Drew's gold foiled pubes.
 

An update! Just posted on Facebook: 
Hello, friends. Downward is Heavenward vinyl is now available through our Polyvinyl Records webstore along with Inlet. https://www.polyvinylrecords.com/store/hum We hope to have Electra 2000 and You’d Prefer an Astronaut available there in the not so distant future. That project is taking a little longer than expected, but both of those records are moving forward and we will share more information when it’s available. We hope you all are healthy and well. Thank you.

Cheaper than I expected. I was hoping they would do an alternate album cover for this one, but I went ahead and ordered. 

Might be this one or his new release vid that he usually does once a week, I forget which, but he says he heard from a solid source that this pressing is digitally sourced, leaving the Grundman one as one of the better pressings. He also did a comparison video earlier this year of several pressings, this not included of course, and said the very first non-CRC pressing is the best, followed by most any of the Bernie Grundman pressings. 

Just picked up this beauty last weekend. Absolutely love it. Recently cleaned, recapped, and had LEDs installed. Fun story from the guy I bought it from. He dug it out of the back room of a thrift store in Idaho for $4 some time ago. Still has the price tag on it actually! He refurbished the whole thing and it's working fantastic. 
 
Need to look into a nice pair of speakers now to replace my Polk T15s. Any solid recommendations for sub $200?

Same, couldn't bring myself to preorder "another" copy of it. But became really interested in that 7".  Also that tip-on jacket that Mike unboxed looks super sweet 👌 
Fuckin Mike... always so convincing,  lol

Never mind

Looks like they're starting to ship out. Already got notifications from Amoeba and Suicide Squeeze. 
 
In the meantime...
 
 
 

It’s like, I want to support this band but I want to tell them to fuck off with their pricing.

The kings of the cashgrabbers are back......

They'll have 40% off for Black Friday. I'd wait. They sent me an email because I'm on their mailing list and gave me a one-time coupon to access it early.

Blue vinyl is also up at jpc:

They sent me both records.   Very surprising because I feel like my order just eked through, refreshing after it said “sold out.”  Excited to finally own these after all these years.

While I agree that Facts is grossly under appreciated, everyone knows that Transatlanticism is this band’s peak. I will not be taking questions, thank you.
