If anyone snagged an extra Welcome Interstate Managers, I’ll gladly pay a little premium! Thank you!

Looks like I got the last milky clear –– thanks for the heads up! Have loved all the singles, my favorite Front Bottoms tracks ever I think, and the rest of the album is also fantastic. Any idea on the variant info? Looks like we've got this...

Milky clear – /300

Lemon – /1000

Evergreen – /1000

Red – /?

Grey – /?

So I'm one of those insufferable people who likes to collect multiple variants and since I've been collecting DH since the beginning I might as well keep it going on this release –– do we have any idea yet what the different variants are? I got the deluxe bundle from Fat yesterday, think there is a Euro variant? Think Fat had two different variants up yesterday?

Cool song about the guy’s wallet.

Thanks for the heads up on this, Satan.

Only one I missed out on is 'Full Leather Jacket' -- any idea if more of those will go up?

Missed the tweet from Fat Wreck announcing this yesterday, if there even was one, and now the color vinyl is already sold out?

What's up with that?

It's live now, both variants available.

Sprang for the blue variant, even though I've never heard/heard of Wavves...

I bought one for 40$ from Discogs. So there is hope.

Great, well that makes at least two now that I've missed out on.

Thanks for the tip, though, I signed up to get a notification at Discogs when another one goes up for sale.

I can't believe people are paying that much for them.

  I was incredibly fortunate in having an awesome friend grab me one at the Chicago date.  Otherwise I'd be in the same boat as you.  Good luck with the hunt.  Doesn't look like it'll be easy.

I figured there'd be at least one or two going up on eBay. The fact that only one has gone up since the last show tells me most who got one are hanging onto it.

I've got a complete Direct Hit collection thus far, so I feel like I'd pay whatever for this but I'll be damned if I didn't balk a bit at that eBay price last week. Might have to jump on the next one no matter what, I guess.

So, did anyone here nab the one that was up on eBay this week?

Hey all, not surprisingly I'm looking to buy the rarest variant of Direct Hit's newest album 'Wasted Mind', specifically the black and white splatter vinyl available only at their record release shows.

I'm also open to interesting trades if you're not into cash.

So I'm a little wiener and I'll be out of town for tomorrow's Chicago Direct Hit record release show. Anyone willing to pick me up a copy of the limited show variant? Will gladly over-compensate you for your troubles, and can also pick-up next week -- no need to ship.

A little over 181,000 Scrobbles since November 2006.

Cool to see a few people in this thread with more Scrobbles, didn't know it was such a popular thing anymore. I keep a pretty meticulously curated iTunes library, so love to see all the listening statistics that Last.fm provides. Was never much into their community, likes, loves, or whatever the hell else they do.

Appreciate all the replies, thanks! Lot's of good advice here.

I moved 500 miles a couple summers ago. Like everyone else, I used uhaul boxes. I packed all my most favorite records in two boxes that I kept in my car. The other dozen boxes went on the moving truck. I wrote fragile and do not stack on them. The movers stacked them all on top of each other and put more heavy Shit on top of that. Guess how many were damaged? Yup, not even a bent corner.

My big concern was the stacking, actually. I even thought about doing what you did, writing "fragile" and "don't stack", but maybe I won't worry about it. We have Uhaul boxes for the rest of the house, I'll stick with them for the records, too.

Uhaul box. Line it with mailers. Limit by weight. Use common sense. Easy.

I've done that 4 or 5 times. One of them was from 2500 miles. They're records, not nukes. You'll be fine.

Appreciate the frankness. You're right, of course, just being weird 'cause it's my first move with records. And I assumed they were stacked normally like every box, right?

My advice? Use the search function and read the other 50 threads created by assholes that don't know how to move records from one house to another.

Care to link me to your favorite, since none of those 50 showed up on the first few pages after I searched?

Hey guys --

About to embark on a big move out to our first house in the suburbs, need to start planning how I'm going to pack of my records. Have a fully-stocked Expedit with well over 500 records, any advice on how to safely pack a good sized collection? Recommend some good boxes to buy somewhere? Any other tips?

Thanks guys!

They can't do a repress of 'The Vinyl Countdown' because of the incredible amount of royalties they'd owe to me.

Bought some super rare test presses from cepcarn4 and he sent them wrapped in a plastic grocery bag inside a bubble mailer! Who can honestly still be a member here and think that's an acceptable way to send records, let alone rare test presses?

Suffice it to say, I overpaid for these and of course they arrived damaged. Absolutely infuriated at this seller.

Tried to PM you but it said you couldn't receive any new messages,

Interested in the Gamits, The/Murderburgers - Split screened cover green /100

Still looking for a green /250 of this if anyone has buyers remorse. Will throw you some extra for the good deed

An email sent out from Nick of Direct Hit on Tuesday about the new preorder:

-------------------------------------

Hey dudes,

A couple weeks back, our dumb band announced Red Scare would be re-releasing a bunch of our old songs, re-recorded by our current lineup, re-mixed, and re-mastered - the ones that have shown up on singles, tapes, and the internet in years past (the stuff of legend) - on CD and vinyl, August 21. "Rad" is an understatement. "Revolutionary" too, probably. "Transcendent" is probably the best way to describe the news. Alert your children.

Interpunk has both the CD and vinyl available for pre-order - If you're all hot and bothered by the idea of once again purchasing songs you already stole long ago, you should check that out and get yourself lined up: http://www.interpunk.com/item.cfm?Item=226762

Thanks again for all your support over the years! We wouldn't be the millionaires we are now without your constant influx of cash.

<3 Nick / DH

I got the green w/ gold splatter.

Just read the email newsletter from LTJ -- it's cool that they wanted to feature you. Been following your account for a while now, I love it.

I've got a small collection, nothing too rare, check out the links in my signature.

I was told they're out of the orange variant, they sent me a clear, as well. Now I'm stuck with two clears and no orange. They really should update their product page so this doesn't keep happening.

Add this to Reines' Wikipeida page -- this is apparently how he packages records now a days...

My test press was placed precariously in between two crumpled pieces of packing paper in a two-inch deep box.
