aphasias

Good to someone else interested in these on here. Artoffact has been releasing a lot of Skinny Puppy related stuff (cEvin's solo records and most of Download's non-Nettwerk releases) all of which I've been picking up.

cEvin key posted the mock-up of the Cyberaktif splatter pressing last week on Facebook and I've been anxiously awaiting a preorder but the Doubting Thomas release took me by surprise when they announced it this morning. I'm happy to see that they are both "complete" collections (though the DT record is missing some compilation tracks). The Infidel was one of my favorite records when I was a teenager so I'm pretty stoked to be getting a vinyl pressing.

I ordered the /100 pressings of both. Also threw in the Metropolis pressings of KMFDM's Symbols and Tear Garden's Have A Nice Trip that Storming The Base is carrying.

The last record that I actually acquired was The Hives' Veni Vidi Vicious but the last one my credit card was charged for was Pantaleimon's The Butterfly Ate The Pearl (which should be delivered tomorrow)

Order went through fine for me.

Friday only Drag City will be doing 20% off all 2016 releases

Just bought Veni Vidi Vicious £10.09 from Amazon UK, which came to $14.87 shipped to the states.

Manufacturing delay confirmed by Universal

I'll be ordering the Vinyl Me, Please edition of Odelay, have the euro pressing of Guero on the way and will be keeping my MFSL Sea Change, so nothing for me here but I certainly hope that they continue on and give us reissues of the rest of his albums. I'd love to have Mutations and The Information and would certainly pick up Midnite Vultures for completeness sake though I don't particularly care for it.

From the Tumblr post:

" Mellow Gold, Mutations, Midnight Vultures, The Information and Modern Guilt will be announced at a later date. "

Hurrah!

I got my purple in from Bullmoose - haven't had a chance to listen yet but it sure is pretty. Awesome gatefold with lyrics printed inside. And it didn't come with the bonus cd, I'm assuming you meant all copies ordered from Rough Trade come with the cd? 

Yes, I apologize if I didn't make that clear. The bonus CD is a RT exclusive.

I'm still waiting to receive my copy from RT which shipped 8/30. I am assuming it will take a while to makes it's way from the UK to the US.

I'll have to pick up Wicked for my wife at some point. $32 is pricey but she loves that musical. Thanks for the heads up!

Iron & Wine - Archive Series Volume No 1 $9.99 with free shipping from importcds via eBay

Looking forward to this as I always do with new Cohen material. I'm glad to see it's getting pressed on vinyl as well since Can't Forget never did.

There's also the Rough Trade exclusive /600 on white vinyl with a bonus CD of demos and alternate versions of songs from the album, which is what I have preordered.

If you plan on ordering this version, make sure to buy the "LP+" version. "LP" is the purple indie exclusive and "LP+MP3" is standard black vinyl, though all copies should include the bonus CD.

I was putting off preordering Bonnie Bells Of Oxford in hopes that a cheaper option came up but that hasn't happened. At over $37 after shipping, this record is a bitter pill to swallow but I'd be kicking myself if I ended up having to track down a second hand copy.

Beastie Boys' Paul's Boutique and Pixes' Bossanova for $24.50 shipped from PopMarket. Great deal! Thanks for posting that code!

Picked up TRL's colored vinyl pressing. MONO albums never disappoint me. I love the Gustave Doré piece they used for the cover.

Acoustic Sounds doesn't mention it but I believe this will also have the bonus track "The Puffer", which is being touted as an unreleased track but seems to have been issued as the b-side to the Hell 7".

This is a great album. I have the original and likely won't be picking this reissue up just for the bonus track but it's great to see it getting pressed again. Hopefully they reissue the rest of the bands catalog.

Preordered. My wife would never let me live it down if we missed out on this.

I didn't think the original mock-up looked that great nor do I think the final product looks that great. I didn't buy this for the color of the vinyl though.

Looking at the color they ended up with versus the color scheme on the standard press cover, it seems possible that this was a planned variant at one point that was supposed to be cancelled.

Amoeba exclusive blue vinyl

I miss Phil's unique sleeves. Screen-printing, recycling thrift store jackets, fold out posters, art books, etc. The standard jackets he uses nowadays are extremely high quality but lack the personality of previous releases which I enjoyed.

I've got a copy of this in a poster sleeve on black vinyl which I'll be hanging onto. It is a great album.

Indie Vinyl Den just blew me away with a great experience.

There was a small snafu that ended up with a delay in shipping one of 3 records I pre-ordered from them and not receiving a shipping confirmation for another. Customer service immediately confirmed shipping and provided a confirmation number for one item and shipped out the other with expedited shipping and some substantial freebies. All 3 records were packed in sturdy mailers as well. Every email I sent was responded to within an hour, even when emailing at 8PM PST.

I'm impressed.

Oooh, big Bat For Lashes fan, but had no idea about this flexidisc. What is on it?

Looks like the first track from the upcoming album

Saw this on reddit where someone pointed out that Amazon has started taking preorders already (though they misspelled the title)

For the greater good

Just ordered True Detective and New Order as they just listed more. Picked up Beck's Dreams yesterday.

The UPC for New Order's Music Complete matches the indie exclusive clear vinyl edition, so hopefully that's what they'll be shipping out!
