my copy arrived earlier this week, but haven't had a chance to listen yet. work has been hell this week, so I plan to get nice and obliterated and drown my tears in this record and bourbon tonight

The is the old LOOM bootleg. Good sound, but you can find it pretty freely online.

Got 2 Replacements (Sorry Ma & Stink) for $25 shipped...here's hoping they don't just shove them in a padded envelope (though I've heard they have gotten better)

thought this might not come till back half of 2016 so this is cool

Pretty sure my black copy was pressed at MPO - it's flawless and I would hope for others that they would continue to use MPO. LIkely they will go with whoever has capacity for what the label wants to press. edit: not RTI - it was MPO.

Thanks for confirming. Guess I'll have to sort it out elsewhere...

yeah, I'm one of those who also did not love Zidane, but loved Les Revenants (the show ruled too)... I'm probably in for this.

Nice. Hope that includes the Re:Call compilation too (the only thing I need from this box really).

this is the worst day. Bowie is to me what the Beatles are to others. Just a master of his craft and an amazing human being. Hope he's astral now.

Got mine today. Such a solid release - real good tunes. Worth the wait...

probably the wrong thread, but no news on Downward is Heavenward in some time, yes?

my Discogs collection says I still have 12 Plain records in my collection. I think the only ones that sound worthwhile are The Twilight Singers and Primus Pork Soda.

whenever I think my system is inadequate, I'm just gonna scroll through this thread and see that top sellers image and know I'm OK.

I have originals of both Twin Peaks soundtracks, but I'm still really anxious to see what Mondo/DW does with them. Hoping for expanded sets of each or a cool box design for both. David Lynch's deluxe sets for Sacred Bones and Joyful Noise (w/Dumb Numbers) have been really sweet... hoping he pushes for something cool with his best property in Twin Peaks.

if they plan to put out a new EP and full LP in 2016, I imagine they've started the process for reissues of the back catalog. I hope they sound better than the 4ad reissues of the Cocteau Twins records though.

Still available with a $20 price drop. Also have a pair of Grado SR80 cans available for $60. Take them both for $100!!!

fuck these guys and their carousel.

Pretty good week for me - got a VPI 16.5 rcm, a pair of AKG K702 cans, and a Schiit Vali amp. Oh and found first presses of the first 3 Ramones records yesterday! Pretty much set for life now.

Like new Pro-Ject Head Box II - lightly used with low hours (though not sure how much that matters). Complete with power cord, but I don't have the original box. Asking $55 shipped, but open to offer or vinyl trade.

Surprisingly, they don't have a bandcamp, but here's a couple links: https://soundcloud.com/themareus http://noisey.vice.com/blog/them-are-us-too

F it - found that Transformers on Discogs for $20.

From this year, I'd probably put The Black Lamps and Them Are Us Too in my top 10 for the year.

I was sad I missed some of these, but now relieved that I don't have to deal with the cancel/refund madness that is sure to ensue. Good luck fellas.
