Rip

Just resend the picture and tell them its already destroyed 🤣

I know EV loves doing these “small run pressings,” but it’s absolutely stupid that they don’t have extras set aside in case something like this happens

Bump For The Wonder Years Sale...

Woah.  Definitely never seen that before.  That’s crazy.

having a quasi-religious experience here 

 

Not that it needs to be said since iDealélan already confirmed it himself, but mine showed up today.  Proper LP mailer inside of an oversized Amazon box.  (Phew.)  Quality jacket.  Big ol' hype sticker with "Vinyl Made in France" sticker on the back.
Personally, I'm probably gonna' keep this one sealed for at least a week or two, just to see what shakes out for other variants.  Something tells me that if the band or EVR have one, we'll see it announced soon.  But this is a great backup option if you ask me, especially at $25.  If a nicer variant gets released, I figure it wouldn't be hard to sell this one for $30 PPD... especially brand new / sealed.  And if nothing better comes along, I'll gladly be spinning this black copy over my 2014 tour press [which leaves a lot to be desired both sonically and visually].
Fingers crossed that someone somewhere decided on at least one half-decent idea for these 2023 variants. 🤞

Texas Chainsaw Massacre game OST coming from Waxwork Records tomorrow.

They do actually.  Pretty crazy.

Bullmoose ftw. This is when I use my loyalty points.

Black and indie currently up at Bullmoose for about $44 shipped each.

Can't choose the variant you get but newest repress also available here for almost $10 cheaper.

Timed edition back up 😂 https://equal-vision-records.myshopify.com/products/cac0sstbgy-lp

Thanks for that, shipping next month too rather than the November of Amazon. 

I still didn’t have a copy of this and always contemplated during sales. I guess I’ll grab a vertigo.

Blue Swan Records just posted on Instagram that “vinyl represses are coming” with the song “Omniphobia.”  So expect this album to be repressed soon with who knows what else.  Which is good for me, because funny enough, 2016 me never did end up getting this 😂
 
I’m personally hoping for the Wolf & The Bear full-length.  And if we’re talking first pressings, Secret Band’s first full-length absolutely has to happen

Crossing fingers that the 7/26 announcement that Early November posted is a vinyl reissues of the Room Is Too Cold. Drive Thru's instagram reposted it, which makes me hope we are seeing a 20th anniversary reissue.

official pre-order launching this week

YES!!! That's it! Thank you!!!
 

At first glance I’m just seeing Amazon right now.  Says it’s through Dine Alone so I’d expect more info soon.  October 27th release date.

Only complaint I’ve ever had with iam8bit’s “quality” is the jacket art, but that’s just personal preference.  Of course that doesn’t refer to every release, but some just aren’t as good as they could be.

Grabbed the Peak Variant from Bullmoose for $22.97 - https://www.bullmoose.com/p/36430174/the-mountain-goats-jenny-from-thebes-half-yellow-half-black-vinyl
 
Standard black as well from Merge - https://mergerecords.com/product/jenny_from_thebes

Agreed. Mondo always nailed the jackets but the actual vinyl quality was up in the air. My Rogue One box set from Mondo is by far the worst sounding thing I own now and it was $80. No bad audio flops from iam8bit, so that’s gotta count for something.

Gravity Falls PO was a pretty big shit-show from them as well.  I think the wait time was almost 2 years and I don’t think they even showed the actual artwork for it until a month or 2 before it actually shipped
 
Was it worth the wait though?  I kind of think so.  When it comes to quality, they rarely miss, but man the way they go about things sometimes is pretty awful.  Absolutely no reason to do PO’s for anything with such a crazy wait time.
