...but if you like Eels, E just announced a new record today, so head over to Eelstheband.com and check it out. The man never stops writing and recording.

There are a bunch of these available on Discogs for around $40 now...it's a boot. Sadly, I'll probably buy one because I can't afford the real deal.

I come to this website often....it's a good place, with good information and good people. POs are one of the main reasons I come here. However, there are far too many POs posts taking up the General Forum and things get lost way too fast. Does anyone else agree that Pre-Orders should have a separate area? My thought is that the Forum should have these as the main topics when you click the BOARDS link: 1) Vinyl Collective Message Board 2) Sales/Trades/Wants 3) Pre-Orders 4) Turntables 5) Everything Else It feels like it makes sense.....talk amongst yourselves! Make a change...or don't...your call! Agree or Don't Agree...that is the question?

You are correct about Mutations and Modern Guilt....AND Midnight Vultures. They are all one black vinyl pressing (although Mutations had a 7 inch included). But in Beck's defense, he has been pressing at 180 gram before it became a stamp of authority. Both Mutations and Midnight Vultures were released around the height of CDs and the start of MP3s, so the fact that he had high quality vinyl at 180 gram during that era shows that the label was treating him like a long term artist. I think with Modern Guilt, it was his last record under contract, so it got released fast. In fact, I think he recorded Modern Guilt in less than two weeks with Danger Mouse....so Beck might have had his foot out the door when Modern Guilt was done. I'm not even sure if he toured for it. I also remember reading that Beck didn't really have much to do with Odelay being re-pressed and expanded. The label kind of forced it on him and he was wondering why they were giving it the expanded treatment after only 10 years. Off topic, but interesting.

Beck has some seriously good pressings on vinyl. The Information is one of the best presentations and packages I've ever seen for a record. Even his three singles this year where pretty damn impressive..... so I'd bet that we see a variant for RSD 2014 or something more elaborate than a single LP at a later date. But for now, my ass is content with new music....period!

I've been following G Love for 20 years now. If you don't have something of GLASS on vinyl, then you are a sad person who doesn't like to have good vibes in their life and you certainly don't appreciate great music. OK...Seriously, you really should support this artist and get this....always great party music! The new record is up for pre-sale here: http://philadelphonic.com

Pre order is going to be up on January 20th...and released on Feb 25th! Here is the video they sent out to everyone.. www.beck.com

They actually have a pretty good time slot for Coachella, which surprised me. They beat out a lot of bands and are playing well ahead of other bands that are well established, which makes me think this might be a record worth paying attention to.

Got mine today on yellow vinyl...but since I'm a subscriber, I also got the red vinyl about 2 weeks ago. Oh yeah...black vinyl should be here soon....if only I can get my hands on a test pressing of this! It's quality all around. LITA does not fuck around!

Well, this is the first time that the "bonus tracks" have been available on vinyl as far as I know. If there is another version floating around with the "bonus tracks" then let me know....otherwise....Ordered and thanks for the post.

Sold out...hope you got one!

He had vinyl...for about two shows. They all got gobbled up. In the past, he has pressed runs of 300 handnumbered. He added two more releases (a live set and the Dark Mark does X Mas), but again, at his third show in Seattle, they were already sold out!

Get em while you can....only 150 on YELLOW VINYL! I really, really love Light in the Attic...Just another classy release for these guys....they f'n rule! http://lightintheattic.net/releases/922-has-god-seen-my-shadow-an-anthology-1989-2011 AVAILABLE: January 14th, 2013 As one of America’s great modern day vocalists and songwriters, Mark Lanegan has much in common with the timeless work of such legends as Fred Neil, Tim Hardin and Karen Dalton. The former frontman of Screaming Trees, collaborator with Kurt Cobain and Queens Of The Stone Age, half of a modern day Nancy & Lee with Isobel Campbell and, most commonly, solo artist, Lanegan is a man whose career has been defined by an unwillingness to sit still. Light In The Attic are set to shine a spotlight on this great American performer and songwriter with the release of Has God Seen My Shadow? An Anthology 1989-2011. Collecting Lanegan’s solo material for Sub Pop, Beggars and more plus 12 unreleased tracks, this is the archive treatment Mark has long deserved. It is released in two sumptuous formats: a Double-CD edition with a gatefold, tip-on jacket and a 44-page booklet comprising hand-written lyrics and rare archive photos by Charles Peterson and Steve Gullick, and a Triple-LP box set, each LP in single pocket jackets within a heavy, tip-on slip case, with a 20-page book featuring the same attention to detail and extras as the CD release. The 32 tracks shine a light on Mark’s rare talent, and span the singer’s entire career, from 1990’s debut album The Winding Sheet to a treasure trove of recent unreleased gems and feature such guests as PJ Harvey, Josh Homme and J Mascis. His is a sound of grizzled vocals and dark melody, its lyrics chiseled out of late night thoughts and dark humor. Anthology co-produced by Mark Lanegan Double CD housed in a handsome gatefold “tip-on” jacket, including 44-pg book comprising hand-written lyrics & rare archive photos Vinyl box set includes three “tip-on” jackets, housed in a custom “tip-on” slip case, with a 20-pg book comprising hand-written lyrics & rare archive photos Includes 12 unreleased tracks ON-LINE ONLY (limit one per customer): First 150 pre-orders get limited pressing on TRANSLUCENT YELLOW wax!

Oh wait....it says colored on the press release....my bad!

Cake is pretty good about selling limited stuff off of their website. I'd put some hard money down that a colored variant will be for sale on their website and they will release a standard version for RSD. I'd get on the mailer list to be on the safe side!

So...I collect The Cure....both official and unofficial. Problem is that there are literally hundreds of unofficial releases of The Cure and I'm wondering if anyone has a better option beyond Ebay, Discogs and Musicstack that caters to unofficial releases?

So...I collect The Cure on vinyl...both official and unofficial. There are literraly around 200 different unofficial vinyl releases of The Cure. I'm curious is anyone knows of an alternate source to buy these types of fan based records, beyond Ebay, Discogs or Musicstack.

Buy two...sell one of the autographed copies on Ebay for $25...free record....just sayin.

I got number 1870...good stuff.

Good points all around, but mostly taken out of context. The "I buy records so others don't have them" is soooo misguided...but I digress. The point was for bands to not capitalize on RSD within a time period. Haters and clowns all around!

Nope... you got it wrong. I'm far from greedy by asking the labels to be honest with us. If you reaease something that is clearly advertised as "exclusive, colored, 180 gram, hand numbered for RSD" but don't inform me that you a pressing twice the amount to sell 2 months later, then that is deceptive. I love both the bands I was talking about (White Stripes, Mad Season), but pissed off that I spent more for something that would have been available a few months later for far less money. It's not collector mentallity, it's just about being informed and not deceived!

YO!.....It's a metaphore taken out of context. The metaphore was "It's like having a funeral for someone and the day after everyone wants a piece of the inheritance!". I am not saying buying a record is like a funeral, I'm saying that "greed" kicks in after a succesfull release on RSD and everyone wants a piece of what is leftover, so they repress more and more and more records. Get it now?

I feel you. You are right, T and S offer it up the right way and most likely most of their stuff won't get repressed.... and thanks for bringing them up. I remember them pre-releasing something on white vinyl and then releasing it to the mass media on the actual date, which is totally acceptable and respectable. I'm just tired of bands acting like it's exclusive for RSD and then releasing it a few months later. There are so many bands that could cash in on "limited for RSD" and then pressing twice the amount a few months later....like The White Stripes....like Mad Season. It's just not f'n cool!

So...here is the deal. I'm tired of repressed records...in particular within the same year! Yeah, older stuff that hasn't been pressed in a years, decades even is OK (and sometimes f'n awesome), but I'm super tired of going to RSD to buy exclusive releases and finding out they repressed it a few months later. Don't give me the "Why should I buy more on Ebay for limited quantities argument either" or "supply and demand", because that does not fly with me. For RSD 2013, we have alrady seen repressed recoreds by The White Stripes Elephant...IE see Mad Season's Above. Both were limited, but a few months later are massive releases. I mean, I get that they change it from Numbered and Colored to Not Numbered and Black, but I'm tired of seeing bands offer something exclusive and then later offering the same thing in a different varation only a few short months later. It's not like I'm against bands making money, but I'm against disclosing it's limited because it's stamped and then pressing twice the amount a few months later. It's like having a funeral for someone and the day after everyone wants a piece of the inheritance! It devalues the entire point of collecting. I am guessing that even if you repress 5000 black records after you sell 5000 stamped records, the cash you are making isn't going to put you into retirement, so why risk your fan base if you pull that garbage? Anyone feel the same way? Can you think of another band that you felt duped by for shelling out coin for RSD only to be pissed off a few months later? My thought is that RSD should have a contract with the bands that they can't repress the vinyl for a certain amount of months / years after they contribute to RSD. After all, it's a massive success and probably wouldn't disaude bands and labels from the concept of supporting RSD! In full disclosure, I love buying vinyl and I support bands, but I don't like buying something that is advertised as limited and then be jacked a few months later. Off my soap box...talk amongst yourselves!

Beyond the beauty of this album, the one thing I really like about the Eels that they haven't ventured into repressing albums. They have a massive catalogue and yet they haven't once sold the farm for a repress. I'm sure it's inevitable, but as a vinyl enthusiast, it's nice to see a band continue to make music and not repress stuff from the past....just sayin!
