If there were a non-album track on these singles, they'd be worth grabbing. If they're ALL going to be on the LP, I'll save my money.

not sure where you read that but all three singles WILL have exclusive tracks, in the case of the CA record, it's the Circle Jerks song "Beverly Hills"-

In addition to the new H2O 7", we also have a re-issue for CARRY ON.

Originally released in 2001 and out of print by 2004, it's been re-issued in its originally planned gatefold LP jacket. Lacquer mastering for the repress was done by John Golden.

Not sure how familiar kids on VC are with the band but it's one of the greatest LP's to be released on Bridge Nine, even 10 years later (IMHO).

Members went on to form Terror, Betrayed, Internal Affairs, Piece By Piece and a dozen or so other bands...

Check out the info about it here if it sounds like something you'd be into!

thanks,

Chris

13.75 shipping in the states?! pass...

Hi Kyle,

not sure what was in your order (6 LP's going to CA is different than one going to NH obv.) but if there is an overcharge on postage, we do refund the difference.

Shipping rates in online stores are not always an exact science, so many variables. We get it close on most things, but certain parts of the country with different combinations of items can sometimes increase the rate that it calculates...

Package deals get the best vinyl, first come first serve. If we don't sell out of the rarest version through package deals, we'll upgrade people who ordered single copies, first come first serve...

Will they have these on hand for shows prior to the release date (specifically Sept.6)?

I don't think they'll have them on tour that early before street date, but I'm not 100% sure...

Will the vinyl in the package deal will be colored or black vinyl? They don't specify in the preorder description.

Tried to get a good photo, but couldn't capture the beauty of the thick spot UV finish that coats all of the color areas of the gatefold LP jacket... Really pops off the cover. The b&w photo itself has a matte finish.

speaking of represses, it would be cool if you would consider doing a 2x7" of champion - count our numbers / come out swinging and hope con - file:03 with the 4 tracks.

We actually have a 12" of Champion's "Time Slips Away" (each EP on its own side) lined up... hopefully ready shortly...

I knew this was gonna happen and glad it did. I Really like Matador and B9 is getting on my nerves pressing records over and over and over and over.

I thought record labels were supposed to press records over and over? (that is, if people buy them... have we been wrong all of these years?)

I think these should work like the Saddle Creek pre-orders. You pay more up front and get a poster or shirt you wouldn't normally buy with the understanding you're getting the rarest vinyl. To me, if you are buying the premium package and then you don't get the rare vinyl, there's no incentive.

that's exactly how this works. Once the "rarest" version is out, we'll make note of it, and you can still buy the package (to get the other stuff) if it suits you. Otherwise, the 2nd & 3rd versions are available by themselves.

The poster is folded down to 12x12, you can add a tube to your order, but the folds are definitely not a deal breaker, still looks great...

Bridge 9 pre-order packages are pretty foolish. They add a couple of small things and jack up the price, and give you no guarantee that you'll get the rare color. Never been a fan of their packages, though the label is pretty solid in itself. I'm waiting on this until I hear a track.

We do our best to swap out the rare color vinyl in the store graphic once it sells out, so unless you're right on the cusp, what you see should be what you get.

I know we can't please everyone but we always try to give a good value. I think $17 is a good price for everything that comes with it, and with the last few pre-orders (Defeater, Have Heart) people were all over saying it was such a good deal for what came with it. Can't win!

Plus, the cover songs are fantastic and anyone who liked Rohnert Park will definitely want to pick this up.

For those that don't care about colors, the music is available separately on 12" EP, CD, cassette & digital formats.

Thanks!

P.S. 24"x36" is NOT small, lol.

I always agree on black represses. 1st 2 presses should get the variants, all remaining presses=black. Then again, what the hell do I know.

I've never repressed a record without having a variation between the pressings, and I really don't see the problem with doing 1,000 piece re-pressings on different colors. It shows when you got into the band based on what color you have. And if you're a color variant collector, you have at least 3 months to part with $12 if you HAVE to have it (at least with Have Heart), so it's not that big of a deal, if you want it you'll likely have time to get it.

I think black vinyl re-pressings are boring, and don't make a lot of sense. If I'm going to press a record in 2011 I'd like to be able to tell the difference between the copy that was pressed in 2007. But, that's just my 2 cents

I guess in those terms....yeah, i'd have pressed it to. Even though I had a complaint.....still ordering. AF is a great band. I do like earlier stuff better, but still support them. 1st time I saw them live was about 20 years ago....damn I'm old. One of the best hardcore shows I've ever been to.

no worries I trust you'll dig the record when you get it, thank you for ordering!

I forgot to complain.....What the hell is it with B9 releasing these 7"s with songs that will be on the LP? It sucks there's not even an exclusive B-side. They did the same shit with the new Defeater 7".

personally, when Agnostic Front hits me up and says they only have 2 non-exclusive songs- would I want to put out a 7", I say yes. Say what you will about a band with a nearly 30 year history, but from where I've come from, it's an honor to work with them on any level.

We made a great effort to make it worth your while if you're a fan of the band, and we just got the test copies of the silk screened vinyl in - they look incredible.

Our last "single" for AF was in 2007. We pressed 2,500 copies, and sold them in like a month. In terms of HC - AF is a BIG band. Half of these will end up in Germany alone, no doubt.

Would have loved to have included exclusive tracks, but it wasn't on the table.

Will probably order when I get home... b9store is blocked at work

if you have a phone with online access our store is mobile and super easy to order through, just sayin!

P.S. If you order the separate LP in addition to the package deal, you'll get two different versions (if that's your thing).

it took a few listens, but i like it. not happy about 9 dollar shipping and a shirt that will have its design cracked and faded after being washed twice.

FYI- the ink used on the front of the pre-order Lemuria tee is DISCHARGE ink, so there will be no cracking or fading, and after you wash it the first time, there should be no feeling of ink on the shirt, the print is bleached into the fabric.

It's a larger print and we know no one likes a large plastic chest shield on their tee.

It would make sense if the single would have an exclusive B side, which generally is not the case.

FYI, 9 of the last 10 Bridge Nine 7" singles have had exclusive songs, a few have had more than one.

What can I say, we like putting out 7" records.

Just go this today on blue. It sounds great!

I also ordered an orange copy of Songs to Scream At the Sun and received an orange The Things We Carry. The Things We Carry is an awesome record, but I don't really need two copies of it. Does anyone know who I could contact at Bridge 9? The email I got was from b9store.com.

that's what we get for doing similar colors... please email Matt at [email protected] and he should be able to work it out!

Hmm..mine still hasnt shipped yet and I swear I ordered real quickly.

For any of you guys that got one can you share the date and time, or at least just the date you ordered so I know whether to shoot an email off or be patient.

We've still got a stack of orders that we're chipping away, hoping to get through them over the next few days, if it hasn't shipped yet it should very soon

thank you for your patience!

We started shipping these out last week but we've got so many orders that it's going to take our 1.5 person shipping dept. through at least the next week to get them all out... Sorry for any delays getting them to you, they will hopefully be worth the wait!

Thanks for ordering-

The package deal is a fucking bargain. $22 bucks for the rarest (assuming) LP ($12) , the print ($15) and the book? With the print and the LP alone, you're already saving 5 bucks.

Ordered!

Hey everyone,

thank you for checking out the Ceremony LP pre-order, we're really excited about all of the parts to it.

Please note though that the package deal does NOT include the screenprinted poster - that is a separate item - it includes the album, book & 12"x18" album cover poster.

thank you!

- Chris

i mean, if they're doing a 2nd press of 1,000 after doing 2,000 initially on vinyl...that doesn't seem too bad...

yeah it has been doing really well, it's a great record, and they've been touring quite a bit (which always helps!)

B9 orders all of our LP mailers from ULINE - they do sell individual ones and the quality is great... Not to mention you get your order the next day if you order by 5 or 6PM...

awesome, thanks for the input Chris.

What store system does B9 use?

We use Yahoo for the back-end, the front end was built from the ground up...
