I'd consider it if the price was right. I probably have a small handful of records I could use cleaned. Then to find something to do for a few hours while you clean them. Maybe check out Pacific Mall.

When did you order the other one because Monday shipping went up drastically through USPS, I think it is $5 to Canada now.

You are right, I emailed Sacred Bones and those rate hikes took effect Monday. They said they are working on a system to help International customers out, maybe create additional incentives to make it worth the entire cost.

Unfortunate though, these new prices basically make any one off record order not worth it. Will have to try and develop better relationships with local stores and deal with them to keep costs down. 

Anyone else notice a steep shipping increase on The Men release?

I ordered the limited Psychic Ills and shipping was $7 to Canada. They quote $11.50 for shipping on The Men release. An LP plus CD can't weigh that much more than an LP plus 7".

If anyone needs more, I probably have 20-30 12" and 10-20 7" ones. Also in Toronto.

It was alright, for $40 I got a Melvins, Night Beats and JEFF the Brotherhood 7", but the rest I didn't care for. Not subscribing this year as they early announcement doesn't do much for me, and you can buy them individually later, just not in the limited colours.

Also disappointed they said there would be a Pink Mountaintops 7" and that never happened. Unless it's the last special surprise for 2012.

Also, JEFF the Brotherhood is not involved in the 2013 one, they are the last one from 2012.

I was JUST going to bump this asking if people had grabbed it, if it was worth it and what they've paid.

Anyone?

I have it...and enjoy it, although I agree it is expensive, as all Music On Vinyl releases tend to be.

It looks and sounds great, and the 8 page book is a nice little addition, although it is nothing special.

If you like the album and songs, you will like the album, it does sound nice. Can't say much more than that, there really isn't anything groundbreaking or mindblowing about it.

I bought it from Picadilly, so 24 GBP plus shipping. I suppose it is worth it, but as I try and collect everything from Nick Cave and Mark Lanegan, it sort of was a must purchase for me.

Does anyone know why all of a sudden the site says "preorder limited edition LP" for Moon Duo? I wasn't impressed by the ltd ed either but I thought it sold out months ago.

According to Sacred Bones Facebook:

Heads up for any Canadians, just got a bill for $24 from Fedex ($13 HST, $10 "Advancement Fee" + tax on this fee). If I get charged for this next one I'll probably end up cancelling future orders.

Mine have never been shipped via FedEx, always USPS. Perhaps email Third Man and ask why/tell them not to use FedEx. Regardless, I don't ever bother paying their invoices. They threaten to send them to collections, but they have never shown up on my credit report.

My shipping quote was $28..

I live in australia :-/

Fuck it, gonna pass on this

They are all shipping from the UK, not Australia.

And from talking to a guy at Modular, it will likely only be available from them.

Probably not going to find the 7"s from them. They only had two of the three last november('11) when I saw them.

The tape is a demo of Wet Blanket and the cover of Pig which is what the white RSD 7" features.

Yeah, I just talked to Chris in the band and he said they are long gone. Same with the cassettes (there were only ever 20 of those).

Just checked out another shop in town and they didn't have them. Saw them for years and I wish I took a chance on them and grabbed em back then. Still managed to find the 7" at Sonic Boom recently no problem though, so happy about that.

Does anyone know where to find the first 3 7"s online? I saw them forever at Toronto shops, but now that I want them, they're all sold out. Holding out hope they have some at their show Friday, but chances seem slim.

And what's the cassette? Can't say I've seen it before.

The Heads - Radio One

Details of the Uncle Acid pre-order are up on Rise Above

100 clear

http://www.riseabove...oducts/view/404

500 black, 400 colour in colour, 400 trans blue, 400 clear with purple specks

http://www.riseabove...ducts/view/405/

While the 100 clear is the most limited, the others seem more interesting, and I don't see anything that makes the 100 clear any more special (like the original die-hard) other than the fact it is more limited

i wasnt actually there, but i told the person selling to hold a copy back and left a note on the vinyl itself "holding for patrick" ill follow up with them when they get in and make sure.

Awesome, thanks.

Did all the copies of the Wool LP get sold? I had PM'd you Justin but never heard back. I was moving all day and didn't finish until after the show closed unfortunately.

all 50 copies sold out at the show. pretty crazy.

I was up to buy one, but asked what I imagine was one of their dads, if they'd be available online and he said yes. I didn't know it would be a different version (albeit just the sleeve is different I think). I just didn't want to walk around the rest of the day holding records as I did that on the Friday and regretted it.

Just listened to this yesterday, great album. Wishing I picked up one of the Psych Fest copies while I was down there though.

yeah we have a table booked. we're trying to put together a list of things to bring this week. we obviously can't bring everything but if theres anything specific you guys may want let me know and ill see what we have.

Copies of the Wool LP.

I'll be going (also I PM'd you about that Wool LP, not sure if you checked it yet).

I want to pick it up in Toronto as I know some stores must have received copies, but none I've been to yet have found it. When you add $8 for shipping, it becomes on the cusp of too expensive for me.

Anyone know any stores in Toronto carrying the Wool LP? I don't feel like paying for shipping when I can find it locally, but I've had no luck finding it yet.

I like the Hot Rod suggestion. That movie is fantastic. The song near the end when they're marching to the jump is great. I used to have it downloaded but I can't think of the name.

Not sure if this is the one you are referring to or not.

Gown - Head Honcho

I'd have to buy it just for the QOTSA connection.

Has anyone who ordered Reckless received any communication outside of their initial order confirmation email?

Yeah I went for it - I figure I can always cancel if I find it cheaper somewhere else.

Why wouldn't they throw that Superman 7" in with the vinyl box set as well?

To get record collectors to buy both sets most likely.

I just ordered the box from Amazon.co.uk. The quoted price was 158GBP, but when I added it to my cart it went in at 130GBP and I was charged 3 for shipping. Converted to CAD, the box is $215. Beats the $320 they want on Amazon.ca. Provided the Canadian dollar doesn't tank and I get crushed on duty, I doubt I find it cheaper.

Then again, it looks like I could just buy them all separately and pay the same price (if not less).

how did it go in at 130?

I'm not sure. I was just adding it to my cart to see the shipping quote and compare to ordering with free shipping from Amazon.ca, and when I added it and went to checkout, it was showing as 130.

And yes, they will give you the lowest price if the pre-order price drops. Plus you can cancel between now and July 30 when it is scheduled to ship if you find it cheaper.

There really isn't a reason not to pre-order right now, as it is currently the best price I've found.
