I got mine an hour ago, but the tracking number they sent me is bogus - or at least not returning any info, yet. I have to say I'm more than a little displeased with how Epitaph is handling this.

100% agree.

I want to sign up with a million accounts to give this that many +1

This was one of the first 4 CDs I got when I bought my first CD player and the only one I'm missing on vinyl. I've been able to pick up Sponge, Live, and The Meices and now my sentimental vinyl quartet will be complete!

Funny, I was on a date right after "Why do they rock so hard" had come out. The girl was in a fairly notorious on again/ off again relationship (but mutual friends had set us up that night). As fate would have it "I want your girlfriend to be my girlfriend too" came on and she proceeded to get mad at me because she thought I was trying to be clever or something because of the other guy. I slapped her in the face.
Just kidding about the slap, she was a butthole though.

Is pregnant with her 4th kid, each with a different dad, weighs 225 lbs, visits the methadone clinic several times a week, child support is her only source of income & spends it all on Doritos and Mountain Dew at Walmart.

No bonus tracks

This is now available via Amazon if you didn't want to spend a fortune on shipping:

putting it out there right now. I will cut a bitch for this.

Its about damn time they start charging you guys more to ship stuff. Maybe us foreigners will finally catch a break.

It all depends on your point of view I guess. Adrenaline holds a special place for me because it was my first time hearing the band and it blew me away. To be honest though, it's almost an entirely different band compared to their later albums. Hard to compare...

SRC just keeps the disappointments coming.

Those shipping overages will be a nice chunk...if these are sent media, that is.

Not a record, but easily the coolest thing I listed today:

I always donate clothes to the clothing bank here in town... and I live in a town of about 17,000 people, so I'm sure most towns/cities have something similar. They give the clothes to people who need it. It does not cost a thing to people who receive the clothing and it's still a tax write-off. I highly encourage looking into something this!

Do you live in FL?  If so yeah I would recommend finding a different group than goodwill to donate to, however...
if you live some where else, then look into your local goodwill.  Every region is completely different.  Most of our workers make above minimum wage (however I am interested to see how this goes now that minimum wage is going up again.)
Please don't throw stuff away that could easily be donated to help out your community.

Get stuff for free, pay people minimum wage, sell stuff for profit. Laugh all the way to the bank. Since finding out about this I either throw stuff away, give it away to friends and family, or sell it on craigslist. The way I see it is that goodwill is just a bunch of craigslist flippers but has the people trained to bring in the stuff for them.

I am also not a fan of the salvation army due to their religious beliefs and anti-gay sentiment. 
 
I donate to the united way in our area which is just an umbrella for other local charities in the area and has a reported 90% efficiency rating. Still not 100% though.

Stl Ben wasn't very charitable with his ty death by audio record

What?! My record I still own?  Am I suppose to give it away?....anyways that is a completely different topic all together and you are welcome to discuss it in said topic or through PM. 
 
On an other awesome note.  I love the -1s I have got for mentioning where I work?! 

Once again there is some bad spots on the organization.  Unfortunately news/media like to shine on those few down notes more than the hundreds of thousands of people helped.
I have no idea how much my CEO makes but if he is making close to a million dollars year (extremely unlikely) I need to work my way up that ladder.  As a regional DM I'm making WAY less than that. 

Yes sometimes people bid more than the normal cost...maybe because the money all goes to a charity organization.....

I run the St Louis regions Shopgoodwill sales.  We sell very few records as most of the stores don't know what is what and it is pretty much impossible to train them on vinyl. But we have sold some amazing record players on our site.

It has already been pressed:

I was able to snag my copy from discogs a couple of months ago

OK, so Ill try to be brief.
Goodwill is a giant umbrella label and unfortunately with so many apples in the barrel there is some bad ones.  Goodwill is ran independently region to region, so my experience/knowledge is only what the STL area does for our community.  We helps thousands of people in our community in a number of areas.  We have housing for battered women, work programs to keep juveniles out of jail and off the streets, and yes our biggest outreach is helping to train and employee people who would not other wise be employed.  This employment is not mainly in our stores but in various environments depending on their work skills/abilities.  We have one workshop where works strip used computers to be recycled, a large crew that cleans offices/factories at night, and teams that repackage "local brand" products for area stores.  Some of the people in these work shops make more than me and yes some of them make less than minimum wage, it is based on what their work output ( basicly a per peace pay and not hourly pay.)  We are non-profit company and every penny we can raise goes into local organizations.
 
That being said our reasoning for online sales is we want to make as much money as we can to help as many people as we can.  We sell items in stores at reasonable prices most of the time, but yes some items have a high value.  The average customer we get into a store does not look to spend hundreds of dollars on their visit for a diamond ring or top of the line record player so we sell them online to broaden our customer base.  Once again I can not speak for every areas sales goal online, but only what I do locally.  Yes some of the stuff we sell goes for more than it's worth, but a lot of it sells for way less.  I would say about 75% of what we sell goes to resellers who buy from us to make a profit themselves.  I have 0 problem with what ever people do with an item after they buy it from us, but in my opinion I want to try as hard as I can to get as much money as I can to our organization and not let people buy stuff cheap from us just to make their own profit.
 
On that note...I should get back to work.  Check out what we have for sale because you never know what you will find at Goodwill!

couldnt have said it better. not to mention when the brand new PO went up they said they were getting red, then people ordered and they changed it up completely without telling anybody, then after people got their records they magically got red copies and put those up for sale. 
 
not to mention how shady they are with things like.....making something seem like its a warehouse find and to GET IT QUICK! then it turns out its a whole new pressing.. ie saves the day, stay what you are. 
 
yes, everything they put out is pretty quality, but also very expensive, and the way they do things is just fucking shady. i just choose not to support it.
