Psyched on this! The secondary market prices have gotten out of control

I’ve got Hidden Arithmetic and the S/T 12”, but still needed this one. Happily grabbed an orange.

Yeah I am super into 2020 and that's about it - I haven't given the new songs a fair listen but wasn't into what I heard.

Thank you for the correction - that's what I get for sending out a fevered ISO thread too quickly. Pitty not Philly!

Title says it all, I somehow slept on this Pittsburgh gem but I'm looking to get a copy of 2020 by Shin Guard. I'll take any variant, will pay fairly, and if you're more in the mood for a trade take a peek at my collection: https://www.discogs.com/user/bluethumb/collection

Nice sluethin' kid! For real I had no idea but that would make sense—I hope they find a way to do it, it's getting up there in price on Discogs

It's so odd too—you can get a copy of just about everything Asthmatic Kitty has ever put out, but not Age of Adz. I've wanted a new copy forever just because I've played mine SO many times and it looks it. AoA slowly became my favorite Sufjan album, but I was not originally into it when it was released.

Damn, the deluxe is already sold out on Bandcamp

Just got the hot goss on the latest Sufjan release. It looks like there is a standard and deluxe version which comes with a copy of Decalogue and a reflections slipmat. I'm a fanboi so I jumped in without looking but looking forward to hearing this! BANDCAMP: https://music.sufjan.com/album/reflections From Bandcamp: “I'm constantly thinking about bodies moving through space when I'm writing for ballet – that is what has informed this music, first and foremost,” says Sufjan Stevens on Reflections, his latest collaboration with choreographer Justin Peck. Originally commissioned and performed by Houston Ballet in 2019, Reflections was written for two pianos and eleven dancers. A studio recording of the seven movements is now available; engineered, mixed and mastered by Ryan Streber with performances by pianists Timo Andres and Conor Hanick. Released via Asthmatic Kitty Records, Reflections is, in Stevens words, about “energy, light and duality.” This piece follows on from several scores Stevens has created with Peck, including Year of the Rabbit (2012) Everywhere We Go (2014), In the Countenance of Kings (2016), The Decalogue (2017) and Principia (2019). “We have been working together for many years now,” says Stevens. “We respect and trust each other's work.” Peck and Stevens are currently collaborating on a dance theater piece based on Stevens’ songs from the acclaimed album, Illinois, to premiere at Fisher Center at Bard in June of 2023.

I surprisingly didn't see a thread on this release but What It Is to Burn is getting a 20th anniversary treatment with two nice looking splatter represses. Kind of a quiet release - I may be out of the loop but I just stumbled on this from the Parting Gift/Take This to Heart records instagram account. https://www.takethistoheartrecords.com/products/740521-finch-what-it-is-to-burn First Press: 800: Half/Half (Coke Bottle Clear + White) w/ Black Splatter 1200: Color in Color (Black + Ruby ) w/ Tangerine Splatter Second Press: NOT ON SALE YET 2000: Color in Color (Ruby & Black) w/ Tangerine Splatter I gladly snagged a clear/white copy to add this gem to my collection. $42 shipped in the US with medial mail.

I'm sorry best of luck to you both! Nice collection, a couple two tree gems in there for sure

The link is up now - just snagged one, the splatter looks nice and I hope it sounds nice too. https://equal-vision-records.myshopify.com/collections/fear-before

Did you get a shipping notification via Bandcamp? I haven't seen anything yet but I am psyched for this

Amped on this! I sold my copy of Odd How People Shake a few years back and I am still kicking myself - but I'll gladly take Art Damage as a consolation for the time being.

Snagged that up pretty quickly, what a good day to check back in on the boards.

I slept on this band WAY too long—I recently stumbled on their latest single and started working back from there. Both Return and People Thought My Windows... are fantastic. I'm in the U.S. but I was able to grab a copy from Amazon of all places - there were a couple copies on Discogs last I checked as well.

I just got the 2 Pop Unknown LPs in the mail today (Northeast US), and damn do they know how to package records. I haven't had a chance to spin them yet but instant nostalgia just opening the box and seeing those covers - they look great and are in the mintiest of mint condition still.

This is my favorite album of theirs. I managed to snag an OG back in the day and saw them play TT's in Cambridge, MA (RIP) - I'm glad to see it was funded because it deserves a repress!

PM'd

Same, although I've never sold any of them because - the hobby. I balked at the price like always but these are pretty nice stripped down versions of the song so take my money.

I want this pretty badly, but trying to justify a second copy. I have the Opposite/Tear double release but TBH the sound is only ok - might roll the dice on this one.

I'm honestly shocked this sold out, granted 1,000 isn't a HUGE amount but I didn't realize it was so in-demand. Good for this little gem of a record.

I am still spinning my Pro-Ject Debut III from 2012 - I may be overdue for an upgrade but I've been happy with the sound - they make quality tables. +1 for the acrylic platter, and the Speed Box makes a nice addition for convenience - it lets you swap between 33 > 45 without removing the platter and supposedly keeps your RPMs more consistent. I've also heard good things about the Sumikos, and I've been really happy with a 2M Blue for the last handful of years.

Late to the game on this one but psyched to grab a copy from their store. $50 shipped isn't ideal but I want it so take my money.

Bought the shit out of this. I have an OG press, I have a problem, help me...
