If you google them you'll get Robles park in Florida. Underoath band members are from FL as far as I know.

Robles Park is a couple blocks from the coffee shop Tim run's with the drummer from Anberlin. Looks like they're live-streaming themselves in the studio.

Awesome, just ordered through Barsuk as well and put in a cancellation request through the other store. Hard to pass up saving $10 on the record.

Got my yellow/red Anthem from importcds last week, no matches

Also still waiting on the "limited transparent blue vinyl LP pressing" B-sides from them (should be here in a week) and still don't exactly know which color this is, as it's not mentioned on smartpunk's site/haven't seen a photo of a clear blue copy anywhere.

It's solid blue. I've seen the transparent blue listed at a few different general retailers, but it's not. I think it's being called sky blue per the hype sticker. I'd ordered that from pop market I think. Can't remember now.

I’ve taken the last month off of selling via discogs because I knew it was going to be crazy shipping

 

I did ship out 6 boxes of Christmas gifts on 12/14 via priority Mail. Two made it within 4 days. Two were delivered after Christmas. One finally popped up and should be delivered this week. And one was last seen in Indianapolis on 12/18 with nothing on the tracking after that. 

I have a crap-ton of records I want to sell but I’m holding off for another couple of weeks. 

Same, I didn't want to deal with any shipping nonsense so I just took everything offline for the holidays.

Is anyone else bothered by the giant fucking parental advisory logo on Bsides?!

Yes.

Do they not all have matches?! (the matches are inside the gatefold) I've only opened the one copy that I played.

 

As far as I know, the gatefold versions have matches, the non-gatefold versions (the orange anthem, and the half and half color anthem) do not have matches. Though I wouldn't be too surprised if there are gatefolds missing matches. 

Not my photos, but you can see the extra screen prints in the photos below.

Confirmed they sent me the wrong variant.

Are all 900 of the color in color #ed? Or just the first 300? Did only the first 300 get the screenprint?

 All 900 of the color in color version are numbered, and not sure if its first 300 orders get it, or if it was the first 300 of each bundle.

Got my /300 today. No matchbook. But I got a sticker. Should I start a "I want my matches" thread?

 

 

Which color did you get?

Got my /300 Anthem today from smartpunk

 

*Spoilers for those who wanna be surprised *

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

comes with a 12x12 screen print of the cover, matchbook, and is numbered by a gold foil stamp on the backcover. 

 

The gold foil part applies to every copy of that particular variant (color in color blob, ended up being around 900 for that one if I remember right). And then the art print applies to the "first 300". Not 100% on whether that's the first 300 orders period, or first 300 of each variant. There's also a couple extra things SP mentioned for people that bought the big bundles.

Modern Error hasn't sold 20 copies yet? Yikes.

I thought the same too.  But the site isn't updating sold out unless you try to add to cart.

Can't wait for the big bundle! Got the split color bundle from July a couple days ago. Didn't get a tracking email for that one though.

Like I said, 2 weeks - not a big deal, almost expected, but some other labels are at 5 months now. The preorders went up in the middle of the pandemic. You don't get to use "we're in the middle of a pandemic" as an excuse for a 5 month delay when you already knew we were in a pandemic when you took people's money.

If you put up a preorder in February/March and then had to wait for the records to come from another continent by boat I get it. If you put up a preorder in May you should have already known that was going to happen.

That's kinda my point though. It's not like labels are pulling dates out of thin air. Even in the middle of a pandemic the plants are going to be giving labels a timeline that the label is then going to make a decision on. The label can't help if the plants are wildly off on their estimate or get even more behind than when preorders go up. I'd say even more so now that countries have started shutting down again and putting restrictions back in place.

Modern Error - Lost In the Noise just went up.

Not complaining about a release being 2 weeks late, but I don't think you get to use the "we're in a global pandemic" excuse when you put up a pre-order in the middle of said pandemic.

Eh,  it's not like they're getting dates from the pressing plant and saying, nah, I'm gonna tell people it's a month earlier than what the plants are saying for the preorder. If a label says hey, it's a  preorder, expected ship date is x, I imagine that's bc the plant says that's when they EXPECT to have it done. Shit happens. Plants are taking longer,  and I'm sure are telling every label on the planet they'll get it when they get to it.  Nearly every record I've ordered this year has been delayed. 

To be fair, this is the same band that has 30+ different versions of a split 7" with a Japanese band.  So complaining that a band that has always put out different variants of releases, and are collectors themselves, is putting out too many variants is odd. If people are willing to buy them, cool, have at it. It's not like this was unexpected. The alt cover variants is something PN has done with I believe every release they've been involved with. Sound the Alarm was no different.

Same, got a shipping notification for the 3xLP bundle this morning.

There's also another new alt cover bundle, this time with a slipmat, limited to 100. Has the blood red 2nd press vinyl. Uses  the robot Evo Kid design.

BTR posted on their IG today as well saying these were on the way from the plant and should arrive this week. So I'm guessing most people will start getting these next weeks.

LTJ is also silver, not black. The mockup was kinda dark but definitely wasn't black.  If you check the tweet embedded at the top it also says silver

Everything in the Rude webstore is also 20% off.

$70

To add on, that's with a $5 discount for patrons. It'll presumably be $75 tomorrow when it goes to the public.

Yup. I was able to order one. I think it was the last one. Sent it to a couple other LTJ buds and it was sold out by the time they tried to buy it.

So looks like Rude Records are celebrating their 20th anniversary with some limited  items including records they've put out over the years.

Less Than Jake's Greetings and Salutations is on Silver vinyl limited to 20. Can't imagine they're ONLY pressing 20 of these without a reissue coming as well.

Edit:

Monday - Less Than Jake's Greetings and Salutations on silver /20

Tuesday - Stand Atlantic's Sidewinder on silver /20

Wednesday - Modern Error - Lost In the Noise on silver /20

Thursday - Blood. Youth - Beyond Repair on silver /20

Friday - 

Saturday - 

Sunday - 

It's a live performance of some Christmas songs to watch for top tier patreon members.

the fact that im more confident that im going to get a new album from the band in december before im going to get the record I ordered in MAY 

On the plus side, from what I heard, the label actually has those in hand since the album was originally supposed to come out much earlier in the year 😂

I stand corrected. From the latest email.

Two variants of the Less Than Jake records are set to finish at the pressing plant this coming Wednesday (12/2) and shipping to us after. These are the color-in-color variants, which also had a bit of a hang-up with the foil numbering. Did we ever mentioned that this edition were foiled number? 😃
