Looks like there will be a Rough Trade /300, an indie yellow, and a VMP pressing.

Here’s an article where she addresses the allegations referenced above:

I'll step up with a reasonably genuine response before the T-swizzle gifs.
 
Been collecting 25ish years technically, but more "seriously" for probably 15-20 years.  I'm sitting at about 1500 in my collection.  I managed to get most of what I wanted before prices/scarcity went way overboard, so I'm at the point where I have about 15 older records on my discogs wishlist that I'm convinced I'll probably never own because of price/scarcity and most of my current record collecting is newly released music.  I still go to record stores hoping this is the day I'll run across that copy of This Desert Life for $20 bucks or something, but I find myself leaving empty handed more and more. I feel like I've reached a plateau in that respect, which is frustrating I guess but fine - it means I have a lot of what I want. 
 
I would say close to 100% of my collection has been on my turntable at some point.  I've never really been a sealed or variant collector except for the Felix Culpa (check the avatar yo) and the odd album I really love where a cool variant/remastered album/etc. came out later.  I have a shelf of test presses and I'll actually spin the 50% or so where it's only vinyl version of the album I have.  I have a cabinet below the stereo where I put new purchases and it's pretty rare that something goes upstairs (where my collection is) before I listen to it at least once - for some reason I find myself paranoid that I'll buy an album and there will be an issue with it or it won't even be the right music on it and if I don't listen to it, by the time I do it will be too late to do anything about it.  Now I'm married with two kids (brag), so you're comment that your free time vanishes isn't lost on me.  My kids like music and I've had music on the stereo whenever I can for as long as they can remember, so I can often get away with putting something on during dinner or on a weekend when we are all hanging out or playing or whatever (and if I can get Encanto or Frozen or whatever out of the stereo), but I'm obviously limited in what I can put on in terms of intensity/profanity.  I don't listen to anything THAT intense, but there are certainly things that I wouldn't play when my kids are around or that would cause my wife to suggest I turn to something else.  I also can't really play something brand new unless I'm certain the content is OK (found that out the hard way a couple of times).  That type of album also isn't ideal for listening to after everyone's gone to sleep, so they might sit in my "queue" for a while until those blissful few times when everyone else is gone.  Which happens maybe 1-2 times a month and I definitely have to make it a priority to listen to them.  But if I know I'm going to have an afternoon to myself, I get a little excited (lame) because I know I have the opportunity to listen to certain stuff I can't generally spin with the kids around and at a volume that would not otherwise be allowed.
 
I do make an effort to thumb through my collection on a fairly regular basis (maybe 2-3 times a month) to see if I feel like listening to anything I haven't spun in a while.  If I haven't listened to it, I'll try to figure out if I have a good reason and if I don't I should probably listen to it to try to figure out if I even need to still own it.  I have tried to sell some stuff recently (with pretty good success) and when COVID first started I did do a pretty heavy weeding of records so that I have about two shelves worth I'll trade into the local shop when I get around to it.  I have a very small collection of 7" and I can't really imagine bringing those out to listen to anytime soon, but it's bands I like and they don't take up much space, so I'll keep them around.  Anything I really like (like, say, MCR's Conventional Weapons set) I've since just purchased digitally and I'll do that if I want to listen.
 
I do have some stuff I bought before you could easily listen to every album to see if you like it and maybe I put on and didn't listen to the whole thing, but I keep around because I think if I revisit it maybe it will click.  Prog rock and old folk records were my two go-tos when I was studying in college/law school. I don't find myself in the mood for that stuff as much anymore when I get time to myself, though I still genuinely enjoy it, so I'll get back around to listening to it eventually, I think.  
 
There's certainly an argument to be made that given my current lifestyle, vinyl collecting no longer makes all that much sense, and I completely understand that argument except that it's the best and I love it.  Plus, as I think I said in the other thread you mentioned, if I didn't collect vinyl I would have to take up coin collecting or parkour or serial killing or something and I really like listening to music and supporting musical artists, so I guess it's as good a thing to waste my money and time on as any.

Picked up the Blak release via A Thousand Arms. Looks so damn pretty.

Tori taking a page from the Tool playbook on the Platinum edition. I’d like to hear the B-sides, but not on a picture disc and not for $200-$500.

A few copies of a bunch of variants of this album have been made available:

Love this band. Bartees is producing. Concept album. I’m all the way in.  There are a few PO options. 
 
 

Not drastically different for me, though I think this is around the time my collection was starting to plateau as far as having grabbed most of the old stuff I could have conceivably found & been able to afford.

A couple I can recall offhand where a reissue was announced and I needed to listen a bit before I decided to purchase and ended up picking it up:
-Soul Coughing & Beck’s Odelay album - Albums I loved in high school and wasn’t sure would hold up but on relisten definitely did. 
-Juliana Hatfield’s first album - I owned most of her other early albums and trended more to those but in relisten found a lot I liked and it kind of completed an early JH collection so I purchased.

Got a thread already, I think.
 
 

I didn’t realize prices on Midnight Organ Fight had gotten crazy again  (or maybe just still are?) but there’s a new press available in Bandcamp if someone’s still after it.
