If you've got 10 to spare, I'll take some.  Otherwise, anyone want to coordinate another group buy?

I would love a 6xLP set of "The First Nine Years."  They should make this happen.

I absolutely hated this at first, but it's grown on me quite a bit.  Nowhere near as good as Idle Ages though, that's crazytalk.

Hoping this lasts until payday, but I kinda doubt it will.  

Gah, told myself I wouldn't preorder this until I heard the whole thing, but those new tracks sold me.  Better than the bulk of the tunes they've written over the past 10 years.

In the day and age of artists releasing new albums to the public without any prior announcement, Rancid keeps it real by announcing a new album and then waiting 5 months to release artwork and a track list.  Respect.

Stoked to see my order shipped today!  Woohoo!  Cheap records I didn't really need!

Yeah! I love that cover. I used to have a T-shirt with the organ keys across the front when I was in high school and it was my favorite.

 

I still have that shirt!  Don't really care about the band anymore, but I still love that shirt.

Let's Go, Sandinista, Combat Rock, and Siren Song all for less than $40 shipped.  Pretty sweet.  Thanks for the heads up!

Stage diving is one of the most selfish, asshole things you can do at a show.  Only thing that tops it (IMO) is grabbing the mic from someone who's singing and yelling into it.  I paid to watch the band play, not watch you live out your fantasy of being on stage for a second.

 

Serious props to any band who calls people out for stage diving.

I know that RVIVR is planning to have some German copies of their newest EP, Bicker & Breathe.  And I think the same goes for the new Red Scare comp.

Been collecting vinyl for almost 3 years now and have about 580 LPs, 250 7", and probably 20-ish 10".  Oof.

Most (all?) of The Aggrolites' LPs cut several tracks from the CD version, presumably to be able to fit on a single LP.  I would kill for 2xLP versions of all their albums.

 

The original pressing of The Slackers' Wasted Days has a completely different track listing, alternate versions of songs, and dubs not featured on the CD version.  Kind of a weird counterpart to the CD, but I dig it.

 

Polar Bear Club's Clash Battle Guilt Pride has a bonus track at the end.

Am I the only one that thinks this one is actually better than the first?

 

I think they're on par.  I mean, this is just more of the same.  The schtick is just a little older and not as fresh.

 

I will say that "Weirdo" is the worst song they've recorded thus far though.

Got my split the other day and it looks pretty rad.  But I have to say, I've never understood the disdain for glow-in-the-dark vinyl until now.  During the run-in and gaps between tracks, there's a faint but audible hiss when the needle is on gitd, and it goes away on the clear.  So weird, and a little annoying.  But whatevs, I'm just stoked to have this!  Keeping my fingers crossed that this label eventually gets the last two albums out.

 

Maybe even a bonus 7" with those two songs the band put out when they briefly got back together.

Electric Rainbow and Patiently Waiting were actually from a 2xCD version of Planet Of Ice that had those two songs, a remix, and a demo version of Ice Monster on the second disc.

 

Oops, haha, those were the two I wrote out from memory.  I fixed it.

What's the breakdown of where these songs come from? Are most of these OMNI b-sides?

 

Just because I was curious too...

1. Electric Rainbow - Planet Of Ice 2xCD release
2. Surf-N-Turf - B-side of the "Steel And Blood" 7" (Infinity Overhead), also released with the book Continental Obscura: From Birmingham to Bellingham with a Manchester Orchestra song on the a-side
3. Broken China - B-side of the "Into The Mirror" 7" (OMNI)
4. Walk On Air - Appeared on the soundtrack for the game Injustice: Gods Among Us (2013, so Infinity Overhead era)
5. Patiently Waiting - Planet Of Ice 2xCD release
6. Cat Calls & Ill Means - Planet Of Ice iTunes bonus track
7. Invented Memory - Can't seem to find where this came from, maybe a new track?
8. South Side Life - OMNI b-side, released on a 7" for RSD 2012
9. Your Private Sky - OMNI b-side, released on a 7" for RSD 2012
10. The Lucky Ones - Another possible new track?

I might pick this up just to have "Electric Rainbow," that song should have been on Planet Of Ice.

Like this issue has anything to do with the label that released the album.

 

Fair enough, but I've had more problems with albums released by Epitaph than probably any other label.  Whoever they're using to press their records is doing a subpar job.

 

 

Yeah, it plays ok, the B-side just has a bit of a warbly quality to it.

I got my clear copy yesterday and the B-side is pressed off center, but the A-side is good. Anyone else seein this?

 

Mine has the same problem.  Epitaph releases are junk.

 

The album is great though!

Just saw the announcement for the new Copyrights album.  Any eta on when that might go up?

Live performance of the first track, "Ruby Cumulous"...

I don't know how Matt could give that description of the song with a straight face.

I once bought something on Discogs that I'd been looking for forever.  The dude happened to live less than 3 blocks away from me.  I paid too much for it, but at least I didn't have to pay shipping, so I considered it a deal.

 

(See, not everyone on this site is a petulant asshole)  

Ugh, dude is such a blowhard.

Just got official confirmation from PledgeMusic that the 12" is now a 2x10".
