Thanks for the heads up, I didn't see this posted on social media.

Orange!

Is Secretly Store shipping $10 for everyone else? Jesus

Went with gold on Bandcamp...

I was listening to the deluxe editions of Brother, Sister and It's All Crazy this week and marveling over how incredible they sound and how grateful I am that one of my favorite bands truly put in the effort to deliver products like these. Very cool and unsurprising that these fine folks are going above and beyond to take care of their fans with the fixed variant.

 

Yes. I have all of them and they're absolutely top tier, among the best sounding records I own. Clarity, dynamic range, and presence are all top notch. Well-pressed and arranged across the two discs with care for minimal inner groove distortion. All of mine are the black variants, so I can vouch for those and how clean they sound, your mileage may vary on the colored variants. I know they're not cheap but they're worth every penny based on sound quality alone, and then you get top notch packaging on top of that. Seriously, I wish all of my favorite albums got this treatment.

Alright, you sold me. I had all the standard versions but I just bought every CE on black. I never look at lyric books/posters so those will be useless but I want something that will sonically blow me away. It's why we listen to this medium in the first place, right? Radiohead's "In Rainbows" boxset did this to me...breathtaking.

Gonna have to hide the credit card statement from the wife next month...

And a cute little tip: promo code "hayleywontstoptweetingaboutmwY" gets you 1% off.

Anyone able to tell me if the collector's edition sounded way better than standard?

Take this with a pinch of salt, but from what I can see on Instagram it seems at least the blue is slightly different in the US compared to the UK/EU. The UK/EU looks more cristal clear blue.

 

For example...

UK/EU https://www.instagram.com/p/CtggIwVqWzF/?hl=en

 

In case anyone cares at all...

I think it's more of a case with lighting/background.

$10 for shipping? Hell no.

10% Rough trade coupon: RT102023

And spend $100 for free shipping

Hell yes. Give me all the Derbies.

Just got shipping notification

Purple gone. Snagged a clear/black.

Sorry, I don't know the difference...but just wanted to chime in and say this is the best movie soundtrack of all time.

YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?

Labels/bands take note, this is how you do an anniversary repress. No lame alternate cover, no 3LPs filled with demos and acoustic tracks. Just the album for those who doesn't have it. So easy.

 

Edit: lol I forgot they did exactly this with white pony 

I'm the opposite. If you're going to celebrate you should be doing extra. I want those demos, acoustics, and remaster.

Anything less is useless. Isn't this album easily purchasable already?

I SLEEP SO I DON'T HAVE TO FEEL

I feel like this guy is the most passionate collector here

Bravo

Relax, I just want to play a test press...

MY GUY

So nothing new besides cover art, right?

Is the bone & red swirl available?

Can't find where this is being sold, maybe tour variant?

Just want to confirm I never started the topic to try and migrate everyone to another site. Was just wondering if there was/should create a backup site somewhere, during outages.
