Craft Recordings will be reissuing Why Do Birds Sing? On October 8th. They've put up preorders for standard black as well as an exclusive pressing on transparent red (750 copies). There is also an indie exclusive on smoke colored vinyl. No mention in the comments as to the source for the remaster.

If you're not set on a signed copy, I did find a UK store, Intense Music, still taking orders. I'm not familiar with them. Comes out to the same price as Resident and Rough Trade were selling them for with shipping. It's also listed on discogs now. Maybe stores will start putting some up for sale there.

Really didn't want to pay international shipping ($40!) But I bit the bullet and ordered what looks like it may have been the last signed copy. They were sold out earlier, so it's possible they may list more for anyone interested that missed out.

The blister red must have sold quick. Tried for it this morning and it was already gone. Went with the indie exclusive via Bullmoose instead.

The other label involved with this release, Kontakt Audio, is still taking orders for the splatter variants. Hopefully they come through. https://www.kontaktaudio.com/shop/muslimgauze-uzi/

Looks like there will be an indie exclusive edition of 1,000 on red/black splatter vinyl, up now on Bullmoose with an October 9th release date: https://www.bullmoose.com/p/34655286/ They've also got the standard black pressing up for a couple bucks less: https://www.bullmoose.com/p/34655287/

My Plain Recordings pressing off Ladies & Gentlemen is nice to look at and more listenable than it's reputation suggests but I won't hesitate a moment to get VMP's reissue. Is it too much to hope they do a store exclusive pressings of their first two records with proper remasters as well?

Deep Discount has this listed now as well. They have a 15% of coupon through 6/30 (MEGALODON) That brings the price to $31.14 (plus tax where applicable). Comes out the same as the early Bull Moose price for me, but may be a good deal for others!

I hope they honor the old price! They usually do, but I have had them email me about a price mistake once before. They gave me the option of cancelling it paying the correct (higher) price.

2LP is up at Bullmoose ($33.97) https://www.bullmoose.com/p/34598665/mercury-rev-all-is-dream-coloured-vinyl

Looks like The Crow OST may be finally getting a standard edition reissue on October 2nd. https://www.target.com/p/various-artists-the-crow-original-motion-picture-soundtrack-explicit-lyrics-vinyl/-/A-80379421

The glow in the dark 12" is another in a very long list of Cleopatra reissues of the same 3 tracks in various colors. It's not authorized by artists and generally considered to be a low quality release. Don't bother with it. I'll be picking up the other three 12"s, though it does seem likely that they will be easy to find discounted in the not too distant future, just like the recent New Order reissues. I'm not sure how much of a market there is for 12" singles these days.

Deep Discount has it on clearance for $7.13 https://www.deepdiscount.com/fanatic-voyage/781484602019

The art really calls for a clear vinyl pressing, but I wanted the 7" so I jumped on the deluxe set on aquamarine. Not sure why they felt the need to include a CD copy...
