Not sure if anyone is looking here these days, but great deal on Forever, by Midwife, at Amazon Canada.

CDN$ 14.46  with Prime

They're on bandcamp if you want to give it a listen first. Price is unbelievable, actually.

That was a great price, sadly I missed that one.

I did find this one though, Secret Pyramid "Embers", if you're into ambient/drone stuff. Great price at $15.14, much less than the label: https://www.amazon.ca/Embers-Vinyl-Secret-Pyramid/dp/B08J1SK797/

How is Deep Discount's shipping packaging these days? Still using those flimsy mailers? 

New Secret Pyramid album on Geographic North sounds glorious, limited edition blue vinyl pre-order: https://secretpyramid.bandcamp.com/album/embers

The invoice/fees thing is ok, but the required shipping policy will be a nightmare, especially for international shipping.

This is essential punk music, will grab one once they hit stores.

It's so sad that a certain group in the US has been working so hard to destroy the postal service. This really screws over small businesses and consumers.

This seems right.

Also, check how much it costs to ship a record to the Netherlands from the US now, you'll be surprised it isn't that much cheaper.

Oh no, I get why it's $13.  More that it's hard for me to spend that much on shipping.  I'm not really mad about it, just that it makes me think on whether or not I want order from Room 40 or hope for a US distro.

Gotcha. FWIW, I'm pretty sure US distros may get it, and also some other EU retailers with cheaper shipping options to the US.

Rafael Anton Irisarri - The North Bend is getting a reissue on clear or black.  $13 shipping to the US is a bit tough to stomach, haven't looked elsewhere yet.

I mean no disrespect, but $13 for shipping a record in between two countries and continents is actually a decent price for most record collectors who don't live in the USA. Sadly, not everyone has access to media mail prices.

I wouldn’t consider proper releases of Paramount, Live and Loud, and Unplugged with some extra material as “non essential cash grabs”. 

Unplugged has already been widely available on vinyl. Tacking on a few rehearsal tracks on a vinyl release isn't really essential. Think about it, they're rehearsals, they were never meant to be released. As for Paramount and the L&L, they are great performances, but unless you're a die hard fan, they're not really essential to Nirvana, like the albums are.

At this point they're just rehashing the same releases, and putting out non-essential cash grabs.

The Nirvana store says it has 3826 left. I imagine we're looking at a possible <5000 run?  There are other stores that are selling it as well.

How exactly are you able to tell how many are left?

Do we know how many of these will be pressed?

Wish there was a colored Check Your Head.

Geez what did he say to warrant all that?

Unfortunately, he has a history of questionable behavior, especially towards women.

 Hoping for a repress of Sarah Davachi's Let Night Come On Bells End The Day.

 

Recital just put up a few copies for sale on their website. But it's without the CD and they're charging $40 per copy, which is kinda lame if you ask me.

What does this have to do with Brian Eno?

If you don't know how Harold Budd is connected to Eno and some of his records, then I say you should go do some research.

Agreed. The Glitterbox reissues of Ambient 2 and Fourth World 1 are both quite good. Though I'm still puzzled as to where this notion that Harold Budd might be standing in the way of a reissue is coming from. Is there an interview or article to indicate this? I'm not trying to pick a nit; I'm genuinely curious. I've seen it written on other forums as well and it just seems like such an odd notion. He hasn't stood in the way of any of the previous reissue series over the years. His own solo material has been reissued. Don't get me wrong, it's not impossible, but barring new information it seems highly unlikely.

I don't think Budd is necessarily standing in the way of this happening, it's just that once more people are involved in a project, it may lead to delays and certain complications. I have a feeling that those Eno/Budd albums will get eventually reissued as well, but they might take a bit longer. FWIW, some of the most seminal Budd albums haven't been reissued on vinyl such as: Pavilion of Dreams, Lovely Thunder, White Arcades, etc.

Does anyone know if Ambient 2 or 3 will be released? 

There already is a decent reissue of Ambient 3 out, and Ambient 2 might be complicated since it isn't solely Eno, as Budd is involved as well.

I didn't realize people were so into signed LPs.

Seems absurd to only repress 300 copies of this classic without any distribution, and as mentioned above, with crazy shipping prices.

Always loved Kick Out The Jams so much, but Back In The USA was such a letdown follow-up. They sounded like a different band on that one. Do people enjoy that record?

Is that Nevermind pressing any good? I've heard a lot of them are garbage. I've been holding out for a Pallas pressing...just dropped some serious cash on a Pallas In Utero the other day.

Pretty sure the Nevermind reissue that has been available for the last couple years is pressed at Pallas (even says so on the sticker on the cover), and I believe it's more or less the same as the ORG pressing from several years ago. Unless there's a newer/different pressing of it.
