Does the Slowdive Graveface variant available in shops come with the print or is the print exclusive to the GF webshop?

Exclusive to the webshop, we didn’t get approval for the print until it was too late to include it to the copies we shipped to stores.

They are live now, I added the screen print, you can also bundle it with the excellent Beachy Head album

Thanks! The Beachy Head album is one of my favorite releases we’ve put out in the last few years and this variant of it is the best. 

Here’s our variant. I’ll post the cover tomorrow.

Contact another record store and sell the inventory to them.

This is the correct answer.

dude you work for/run Graveface?  That's crazy and very cool.  I've always wondered why you never did more copies of "Solace" by Jakob.  Everyone is always clamoring for that online. 

I run our distribution company. The Jakob records are so good but took forever to sell. I’ll chat with Ryan about it. For awhile a decade ago, he was doing archival presses and it’s something I’d like to bring back. It was a great idea then and that hasn’t changed.

What day is this going up? Will this be in the Graveface store? 

It’ll be on Graveface.com by RSD 4/20. We’re waiting on approval to do a shirt/screen print for those who want it. It’s a great variant. I’ll post here before I put it up. 

EDIT: date changed. Their label asked us to wait until then to put it out. If you want you local shop to carry it, have them get in to contact with us and I can get them copies. 

Graveface has an exclusive variant of this album going up this week to ship next week. The cover ink is red and the vinyl is, I believe, an opaque red inside of clear red. I only have one pic of the vinyl and haven’t put my hands on the copies that came in last week. It’s limited to 500 and will be $26.99. 

Rotting Pinata is going to be available in stores Friday from MOV. 1500 copies on red and black marbled vinyl.

Cool cool. For some reason with this album every time it's gotten rereleased I've missed it and then I look on discogs and I'm like uhhhhh. 

I snagged my copy at a Hot Topic on clearance in 2010 or 2011 with an also clearanced copy of Misfits “Static Age.” Solid day.

If anyone is getting this and wants to sell the EYEWTKAS or even wants to sell an old version of the record and wants to sell for less than discogs lemme know!

I’ll let you know when it comes in. I have the 2009 pressing. 

I’m absolutely loving the new Drop Nineteens record. 

My red out of 500 arrived today and this is a gorgeous record. The matte finish and spot gloss on the jacket are top notch and the etching is also wonderful. Glad I grabbed one.

Did anyone order a UK variant? I want to see pics of that bad boy. I’m happy with how the US variant turned out. I haven’t spun it against my OG copy to see if it sounds any different. 

Snagged a copy in my local shop on Friday. Black vinyl, sounds good. This is better than the eps.

Graveface Records put out the debut album “Home in the Desert” by Precocious Neophyte today. It’s really good.

Took forever but grabbed Electra and YPAA. I have that SRC pressing of YPAA but haven’t touched it in years and years.

I sold my SRC YPAA when they said they were doing it themselves. Got ten times what I paid for it and I'm excited to have made the same purchase you did today.

Same. That $125 price point is fantastic. Also stoked to get “Humans Being” and the Balance b-side “Crossing Over” on vinyl. 

A new Van Halen box set, The Collection II, has been announced and will arrive on October 6th via Rhino.

Following the 2015 set, The Collection, which housed the band’s first six albums with David Lee Roth, The Collection II will cull the four Van Halen albums featuring singer Sammy Hagar in addition to several studio rarities and a B-side.

Affectionately known as the “Van Hagar” years, Eddie Van Halen and company released four successful LPs while fronted by the Red Rocker during the ’80s and ’90s: 5150 (1986), OU812 (1988), For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge (1991), and Balance (1995).

The Collection II will compile these records together for the first time on vinyl ($124.98) and CD ($49.98). A fifth disc, titled Studio Rarities 1989-2004, is especially of note for hardcore Van Halen enthusiasts. Among these eight tracks is “Crossing Over,” the B-Side to Balance’s “Can’t Stop Lovin’ You” (the band’s only non-album B-side) and the Twister soundtrack inclusion “Humans Being,” which can be streamed now in its newly remastered form.

Unfortunately, a long-reported lost song from the Twister soundtrack sessions, reportedly titled “Between Us Two,” is not included, despite Hagar previously hinting that it might see the light of day as part of the Hagar-era reissues.

These prices are mind numbing. I would buy that gold nugget but $75 is too much. I’ve been building a new site for the labels I work for and I was doing pricing for the shipping and media is almost as expensive as the new USPS mailing options. You include the cost of a mailer, we use the good whiplash mailers that cost $1.25 or $1.50 each, the cost of paying someone $20 a hour to ship stuff, and that $8 media mail is on the money. The world is changing guys and I’m preordering less online and buying more in a shop. It’s cheaper and the social activity is good for me.

Great, ordered the /340 variant - received the /1500 variant. It’s Heavy Pendulum all over again. 

I’d ask for a clear copy if they don’t have the correct variant for you. I was worried after I saw your post because I had the same issue with HP and was happy I got the /340 variant I ordered. 

I work for two record labels and I see the cost of pressing records. Realistically, they’re spending $50-$60 per copy (maybe a little more if it’s in a nice box and not a quad gatefold). I can’t remember how much they charged for the 3xLP live box set with Roth, but I think that it was similar and this one is actually good. I love Roth-era Halen, but the live show wasn’t Roth’s strong suit. 

I’m planning on Van Halen, HORSE the band, and Macho Man. That Van Halen record is 4xLP, so $100 isn’t insane. 

This is the fourth copy of this album I own. I have the OG tour copy, OG black, HH RSD repress from a decade ago, and now this box. I think I’ll sell the OG black and the RSD copy in the near future.
