Derek™ Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 considering I offered someone $500 last month. Wait, why? Half a grand? I saw this listed with some other goodies by 1234Go, yesterday afternoon. Glad I didn't swoop it up, for your sake. That little shop posts some surprising listings on Discogs. I'm not crazy enough about the album to drop $60, personally, but I hope that the VG+ is a conservative rating for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not crazy enough about the album to drop $60, personally, but I hope that the VG+ is a conservative rating for you. I was curious since no one would let it go for $200-300, I needed to see what it would take to pry from someones collection. It was not enough. I'm hoping the VG+ is just because it isn't shrink wrapped. Thanks for not buying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbo72203 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I was curious since no one would let it go for $200-300, I needed to see what it would take to pry from someones collection. It was not enough. I'm hoping the VG+ is just because it isn't shrink wrapped. Thanks for not buying it. I offered a dude $60 for his on Discogs, and he went for it. It's actually en route to me right now. I can't wait to have it; I sold my black copy. I'm wondering if the VG+ rating is because it possibly came from the same distro that my black copy came from, which was shipped in basically a manilla folder pouch kind of thing. Fucking garbage, it came with ringwear all over the jacket, all the corners bashed in, the plastic sleeve split open, just a mess. I can't believe nobody caved for that price for you..... that's insane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Could barely keep it in my pants, especially considering I offered someone $500 last month. My search is over. congrats and fingers crossed a conservative grader as I've no experience them - as some sellers don't grade anything above VG+ so their feedback doesn't get dinged from a disappointed buyer. I know you like that album a lot; it is a great one indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad Heart Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Favorite looking variant is quite a claim, especially since this is a solid color. Odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumbo72203 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Yes!!! And it sounds better than my black copy that I had, too! It's just gorgeous. The white in this contrasts so well with the clear aqua. It was pretty dirty, lots of paper grit in the sleeve but that didn't hinder the sound at all. Still can't believe I own this now. So many of my post-rock dreams are coming true! Btw, what kind of Technics turntable is that? I've never seen a cartridge that looked like that before.

Sad Heart Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I thought he was talking about Departure Songs given the thread. But that's a damn good looking variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurazz Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 At long last... Jacket had some minor corner bends but the records themselves look unplayed. There were some shipping problems which had me stressed to the max, but it finally arrived today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumbo72203 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) It's live... they just have every input going to the recording console. Soundboards, FTW! Edited June 1, 2016 by Gumbo72203 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbo72203 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 From Dunk: "We Lost The Sea from Australia released this wonderful album in summer 2015 (on Bird's Robe Records) and sold out a long time ago. This limited second pressing comes on new vinyl colors and in an astonishing gatefold cover with 12"x12" booklet with artwork by guitarist Matt Harvey. It will be available at dunk!festival, where they will bring this entire album live on our stage from start to finish, for the first time ever in Europe!

However, people here have done group-buys from Dunk before so perhaps there will be others who want to get in on this as well. I think I'm going to hold off for now, half/half's just aren't my thing. Although when I see it in person in a couple weeks I feel like I'll likely change my mind haha. I can attest that the packaging is out of this world, though.

Gumbo72203 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Apparently there is another variant now, but nothing is on Dunk's webstore about it. This one looks AWESOME. It was posted on Facebook under We Lost The Sea's account, so maybe it's just a mock-up and they're not ready yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
