I just checked out the UK list and I’m drawing the line at Women in Technology by White Town.

I see some folks getting these in the mail, but anyone else not have a shipping notice yet?

Was wondering the same. Making me jealous. 

Saw Jake Blount over the weekend. Probably no one here cares much about fiddle and banjo music that is mostly several decades old, but it ruled anyway. 

Album and preorder came out over the weekend. Vinyl is sold out on Bandcamp but still available through Top Shelf, although the Magenta Magic retail exclusive variant (the most numerous variant) is sold out. Album is real good, y’all. 
 

Pressing Info:

/1000 ~ Polaris Blue, Gatefold 2x LP 
/800 ~ 180g Black, Gatefold 2x LP 
/1200 - Magenta Magic, Gatefold 2x LP (Retail Exclusive)

Man, I somehow completely whiffed on Old Solar but discovered them recently and really love their sound.  Picked up See on discogs and ordered Quiet Prayers (Redux) through ATA. 

No vinyl but I’ve been really digging this one.

1.) SeeMoreGlass - Roaring Paper Spring

I had forgotten about this album. I ordered one of the vinyl but haven’t seen an update in a while.

Nah fool. This is a different/new boxset.

Live at Jittery Joe's LP

new version of Little Birds on a-side

new art for Holland 1945 7"

Well, it’s close enough that I’m not buying another copy . . .

Now available through Merge for those who missed out:

This was recorded kinda close to where I live and couple of local shops had the last pressing in store.  It was still a little too rich for my level of interest but cool that it was pressed. 

Test presses, boxed set, and a shelf of R.E.M. miscellany all the way to the left (behind the lamp), some random stuff on top. 

25% off select items, including some collectors editions, through the weekend.

Following  as I’ve been contemplating this recently too and just keep forgetting to look into it. 

TTTH 35% off sale with TTTH & Parting Gift test presses up as well. Prices shout what you’d expect, though I imagine some will he pretty interested (I snagged one I couldn’t pass up):

Can someone help me navigate these Sault LPs and EPs? I like the group but feel like they have a dozen different physical releases and they are always priced at like $50. 
 

Are these ALL new? What’s the best way to get at the back catalogue? If anyone has thoughts let me know. 

I’m going to need a guide of my own for the five new ones myself (as their stuff seems to be pretty varied so I expect the new albums will each have their own vibe), but my recollections of the back catalogue off the dome is: 

- “5” and “7” I remember being pretty similar sounding indie/neo-soul albums. 
- “Untitled (Black Is)” is far and away my favorite SAULT album so far and uses a lot of samples and quirky rhythms. It sounds kind of like “These New Puritans made a soul album” to me if that means anything to you. 
-“Untitled (Rise)” is more of an R&B album and I never really dug it. 
-I don’t recall much about “9” except I recall it being short and having some spoken word components. 
-“AIR” is basically a classical (almost ambient) album by my estimation. It’s the least like any of their prior albums.  I don’t think there are any intelligible vocal in it. 

Test press sale at Wolves and Vibrancy.

Got the OBI because I love his album. The second thing from my list of “Albums I Wish Someone Would Press But Probably No One Ever Will” that picked up with month (the other was A Mountain Is a Mouth by Bruce Peninsula which randomly got a vinyl pressing out of the blue).
