Can't believe these records didn't sell out at that bargain price of $46.

 

Anybody want to let me in on the secret?

 

I tried e-mailing ITR and this is what I received:

 

Hello,

 

We did have a very small number of these live LPs but they went REALLY fast. The remainder of the pressing is with the band who will be selling it on tour early next year. Sorry we can't be any help on this.

That pretty much says more than most people know. I got one from them, but it sounds like they're sold out now. Go see Ty!

This red is going to ruin my fight against multiple copies of the same record. DAMN IT!!!

Last recordings from the band:

I don't know the Slowdive song, but he Mazzy Star cover sounds pretty much exactly like the original. Why do bands waste their time doing covers without radically changing them? Whenever I hear a band covering something with the same sound as the original it just seems like karaoke night.

Best cover I've heard recently was Mark Lanegan doing "Flatlands" by Chelsea Wolfe. The music and arrangement is similar, but that crackly voice brings a whole different dimension to the song.

I hope COTS comes to their senses and starts recording again. I think they were doing it better than most in this genre.

Did everyone receive shipping confirmation? I ordered within half an hour of the mailing list email and haven't heard a thing. 

I got shipping conf. on the 1st, the PO got the info on the 3rd and I don't know where it is now. I don't know when I ordered, but if you got the strawberry variant you got in before me.

Good band for a few years. They fell apart because of their "extreme" influences. I dont mean Gary Cherone but instead trying too hard to write like Bruce while acting like Eddie. Never figured out who they were. Consciously trying weird instruments might help but itll take a few albums.

Looking forward to the next album exclusively featuring theremins, sitars, and Brian on the didjeridoo.

I guess I don't understand why artists/labels would accept that? I understand that it possibly wouldn't be exactly like the plant's mock-up, but if for some insane reason I ordered a blue and white tie-dyed shirt from a company and they sent me a solid blue shirt, that just wouldn't be cool(except for the fact that tie-dye is stupid and I would be better off with a solid blue shirt, but you get the idea).

I've never had records pressed and maybe the whole rolling the dice thing is just swallowed, but doesn't it cost more to have these fancy multicolor jobs? Some of these color combinations can sometimes look better than the jacket art.

Does this mean more or less songs about Maria ?

He should steal Jenny from the singer of The National.

Labels make the mockups, not the plants.

I initially got caught up in the hype machine(VC) and bought that Vega record. Some parts were interesting, but it was tough swallowing the pretentious sad cafe open mike poetry.

What I do like about them is that I ordered the deluxe edition Wildlife thinking I might like it, but listened to the pre-download and fucking hated it so much I put it up on the bay the day it arrived and sold it for a stupid amount of money. Thanks for sucking La Dispute.

Bought cover and vinyl sleeves from Sleevie Wonder. The cover sleeves are fine but the record sleeves suck. Online they looked like the anti static ones that I have bought from other companies but they ended up being made out of the regular record store plastic outer sleeves cut smaller. I wish Sleeve City didn't start putting a lame logo on their inner sleeves!

Isn't there any quality control person at these pressing plants? I would think that someone would stop the presses and check to see if it looked anywhere near the mock up. Of course, it will not affect play, but if I were the artist I would be a little pissed that I didn't get what I ordered, as it would reflect on the vision I had for my art. Brown it is.

Still looking for the RC version of the Whirr. Help a brotha out!

Also. Has anyone been keeping up with the Internet beef that Whirr started with that Needle Drop putz? Hilarity.

 I saw that whole FB thread and it's kind of a bummer for whatever side you fall on. Look at my want list and maybe we can work out a trade for the RC version.

While still respecting the label's wishes, I would suggest people write the label that has been mentioned in this thread. Maybe I'm crazy, but you won't get mine even for $300, once I actually get it. Good music makes me too happy. Good luck to everyone!

I really hope there aren't any more pre-orders this month. I feel like crap buying myself so many damn records!

Nada. Not gonna do this again.

Got mine today. "Stoked" doesn't even come close! Thanks again to JoshuaNilk for the heads up.

And a box set? I wish I had patience. Way to take my money multiple times!

Thanks, I completed my Nick Drake collection and saved $10.

That Set And Setting record is epic. If you don't have it it, you should.

Got Fuzz and two of the three V3.Thanks to everyone who provided info on these. I thought these were going on sale in Dec. Good thing I checked vc today.

Listening to my copy now. Nothing surprising, so far. It's not for every day listening, but I'm happy I got a copy. May put it on as low background music for the X-mas party.

Orange direct from Mondo as well.

Amen.

Love how the people who have it are holier-than-thou and won't share any info except "It came in the mail."

Yeah, I don't really understand why people are being so mysterious with the info. Aren't we supposed to be helping each other here as fellow record collectors? I guess we all need to keep this in mind when people ask for favors in the future?

Pictures don't do it justice. It looks too dark in pictures but in person it's a cool bright transparent orange.

Thank you again for hooking us up with this record. Got mine today and it looks beautiful.
