This is necessary. Thanks for creating this.

I love DOTB and its LoFi shit sound. It's one of the few albums that pulled it of IMO.

Also good on them with the Bandcamp Bail Fund cause

Not arguing that we should remain idle or hold off on solutions until the pandemic is over, but I suspect we’ll be getting some extra mileage out of the #icantbreathe tag later this month.

All jokes aside Eric Garner was killed only 5 blocks from my high school. That hashtag never really went away. I'm not out there because COVID, and bless those that are. And fuck those apolitical and anti-government assholes that are out there antagonizing the cops to take shit out on peaceful protesters. More people now than ever are speaking up, and being out there right now is risking your life in multiple ways. I don't think business should be burnt up, but as much as that sucks its stuff at the end of the day.

And I want to get this out there before people are like BuT tHe ProTesTorS R rIotinG!

These people are sticking themselves out there to protect stuff as well as their lives.

People were already out at the beach and non-essential business like "OPEN THINGS UP NOW." Now the George Floyd video surfaced and people have a right to be upset. So they're going to be out in the streets because that shit gotta stop.

That's really funny. I'd have to look at the pressing number but did they just sell more of a rarities compilation than past albums?

Maybe. I'm really into this because my friend (who consequently no longer listens to Joyce Manor) sent me their Bandcamp stuff for their demos back in 2010, and thats what got me into them. So I definitely jumped on and dig this more than the last few albums. I usually go back to this, the S/T, and occasionally Never Hungover Again.

Fuck. Looking at 32 EU shipped from their eu store for a single copy. Hoping more get listed on the US site or the RSD release yellow is easily available.

I would either order a few more LPs from EU to justify shipping (expensive) or I'd just wait. More copies should pop up. Either another color through their store or retail/indie exclusive maybe. Joyce Manor is that popular.

Pretty safe to assume the white is most limited at /300. The starburst sounds like a retail variant which is usually /500 or /1000

KRM EU, not UK

EU/UK exclusive because Brexit.

The Starbust is definitely a US indie color because I got the same color notification from SRC.

I can't fathom spending between $200-$900 on 7"s I will never play. Wow.

Can't wait to hear 5 Beer Plan on vinyl.

No code for me but there is free shipping at checkout!

Pretty sure it's a one time use, per individual type thing, but I'll send you mine to see if it works. 

Thanks!

I don't see a code in any of my folders. Anybody care to share a code?

How did I just see this thread now? Im dying. Too good.

Hey, just a heads up it's back up at UO as of 10:20am CST. I have no interest in buying it, but hopefully quoting you here will trigger a VC email notification for you to get it!

 

Thanks. My wife was trying for a little bit yesterday, so I got one now and she's happy. Win for me...

I think somewhere here it was mentioned they were looking out for Strike Anyhwere's first two albums. Ask and you shall receive: https://kingsroadmerch.com/jade-tree/artist/?id=831

they aren't that expensive to pick up (never were worth much if i remember right).

Yeah I have the pic disc but I hate playing pic discs. I feel those are the only vinyl worth framing. Also I'd like an actual proper LP, sleeve, and insert.

Aren't you the one who directly said last week that you guys don't make shit exclusive to bundles?! Jesus fuckin christ man....

I'd love the rarest version of this, which is why I followed all the socials and frantically refreshed the website for a week leading up to the release, but got damn it I'm not in the market to spend $100 dollars on a fuckin winter coat lol

I'd love to hear Thomas' opinion on shit like this. I've worked with the dude with one of his other bands, and he's cool as fuck and definitely "gets it" but I can't image this capitalistic gouging sits well in his head. 

I mean I hear ya let's not go too crazy here. Some people might like a jacket and this is not unusual for bands/labels to do this. I just don't understand why someone would order a $100 bundle with a Dickies jacket with the EP name plastered on the back. That's a big ask. I would've slammed money for a special screen print of the EP designed by someone and maybe even a shirt or something like that as an incentive...

I mean I like the idea of clothing, specifically a jacket etc...but man $100 to get an EP name plastered on the back of a Dickies jacket?  Just wondering aloud here...

Yep, that's my stance on it. I'll take 7 fucking amazing songs any day of the week. 

I mean if it was a two song 7" that cost $9 then I would've been pissed.

Damn didnt know this was only 7 songs. Don't know if its gonna be enough for me!

Gotta take what we could get. Last album was in '09.

2,000 total. Nice!

I'm definitely getting the custom St. Pauli kit. So awesome. Just not sure what number to use.

Hmmm.... got so freaked out that it had already been up for an hour that I grabbed the 3xLP bundle. But now I want that shirt... do I cancel and grab the other bundle or do I bug them and call to ship all in one?

Just reorder with what you want and cancel the first one and ask for a refund.. MerchNow always has shitty customer service as they'll never combine orders for you. That's been my experience.
