Lot of Biffy fans hate this one but it has some solid tracks.

Best score ever.

I need an official release of this.

Gonna make several posts so it's not just one big long one. Idk if any of these have been posted yet.

So do all of the marbled vinyl copies come with a 7"? i bought my copy from a dude on discogs and it's sealed but he said it was the blue vinyl variant and it came with a poster. Here's hoping...

I had to make an account for this thread. Here are some awesome labels/shops/distros I've dealt with. Insound Hello Merch (shouts out Sargent House) Polyvinyl (even politely respond to emails that aren't in regards to shipping questions) Topshelf (Awesome packaging, quality vinyl [they go through Gotta Groove which is probably the best plant in the country IMO]) Piccadilly Records (shop in the UK. Ordered a Biffy Clyro repress. Took all measures to make sure no damage would be done to product. Fast shipping even if it had to be mailed overseas) Hot Topic (surprisingly good service and fast shipping) Captured Tracks (They are doing really neat stuff with their limited edition presses. Recently bought the new DIIV limited edition record: Screen-printed fold-over cover which was hand stamped/signed, free poster, blue/white/black marble vinyl which is absolutely stunning. The only issues I've had with them were that you can only get your items shipped via usps media mail which takes forever although it's dirt cheap and I emailed them forever ago about some information regarding how many of one of their records were pressed and I got no reply. No biggie though, I was probably being annoying anyway) Elusive Disc (FAST and free shipping (using coupons), found the last new/sealed copy of Sunlandic Twins by of Montreal on blue and yellow wax on their site for $15.) Okay experiences: Enjoy The Ride Records (Ordered Manipulator by The Fall of Troy on vinyl when it dropped. Took what I remember as FOREVER to ship. When it arrived I put it away because I was going to buy the Hot Topic variant as well and play that one. When I realized I was never going to follow through with my plans because of how tight I had been on money, I opened the copy I ordered [long past it being sold out] and the packaging was very nice, the vinyl was stunning, but when I looked closer there was a huge bump right in the middle of the first disc. It's like a pimple kind of. I didn't complain because it's still a cool piece and plays okay but that kind of frustrated me.) Barnes And Noble (It sounds stupid but they had a Sea And Cake record I really wanted. When it arrived, the record was fine but the packaging worried me. It was essentially a giant box filled with bubble wrap and paper.) Bad experiences: Amazon (This seems to be this threads most hated distro of sorts. I ordered two items from the same shop in the same order and one of them came one month before the other. The first item already took 2 months to arrive so I was pissed. Not to mention one of the items seemed like it had been previously used and someone put new shrink wrap on it. It was bizarre.) *UPDATE* Dangerbird Records have pleasantly surprised me. Pre-Ordered the new Minus The Bear record a few months ago and it arrived at my doorstep in Virginia (shipped from California obviously) the very day it was scheduled for release. That never ever happens to me. Love or hate the album, that's good service.
