The 3rd Pressing of "Plains of the Purple Buffalo" on Limited Edition Vinyl is now available for pre-order at www.shelsmusic.com As with the pre-vious 2 pressings, we'll need 100 pre-orders to make this happen - and we'll keep you updated with the numbers - and as always - let us know your ideas and what you'd like to see different in this pressing. Sending everyone out there mucho love and thanks for all the support through-out this journey over the years - can't tell you how motivating and inspiring it is, especially while working on the new album - can't wait to make our 3rd album our best yet. As with the previous two pressings - only 300 copies will be pressed and we ship worldwide so grab one while you can! *shels" // "Plains Of The Purple Buffalo is quite simply a breath of fresh air. It is so refreshingly upbeat and pleasing to listen to. While never being overwhelming or too much for the listener, not a dull moment can be found within this album. *Shels certainly knew what they were doing, and they did it well upon this release. Everything falls into order, and the whole LP flows seamlessly." // This post rock masterpiece has been out of print for a while now. Make sure to grab this is you don't have a copy. They are also working on a new album that should be out later next year (2016). Favorite track: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad Heart Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 Wonder what kind of purple variant is in the works. The first press is the clear purple (which I know Don has), and the second is purple marble (which I have). It would be cool if they did one color A/B, and one color C/D. Maybe one solid, one trans. We shall find out soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcha Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I grabbed one. When I get it I'll let you guys know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I have a marble as well, Matt, and I'm not terrible crazy about the way it looks. (Sounds great from what I recall, though.) A haze or color-in-color featuring shades of purple would be awesome. They hit it out of the park with that *Ancients variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad Heart Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 I grabbed one. When I get it I'll let you guys know. Funny timing since I gave this album to you a few days ago, we talk about it last night, and today there is a repress. Post Rock Gods heard us.

A haze or color-in-color featuring shades of purple would be awesome. They hit it out of the park with that *Ancients variant. Same. I'm not a fan of marbles in general. At least this purple wasn't a nightmare like Set & Setting's last album pressing. You're right about that Ancients pressing. Glad they have their own label to do what they want. Plus the jazz jacket was a nice touch. A light purple with a dark purple blob would be pretty dope. Fingers crossed it's more than just a solid. If it is I think I'll grab a second copy.

mertzrock Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Probably a glitch...but $16 shipping? Looks like to every country... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zick Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 $16 shipping? Am I missing something? I was going to order this along with Ancients, but it was $29 just for shipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deafening Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 fucking finally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deafening Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Medi informed me last year they had to up their shipping costs since they are shipping from overseas now instead of California. What you see is what you get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostTrail Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Yeah, really wanted to pick this up with Admiral Angry, but I can't justify spending $30 on shipping costs right now. I feel as though Medi wouldn't screw around, so it's probably a legit cost. Bleh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad Heart Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 Could always try a group buy for this to save on shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostTrail Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Could always try a group buy for this to save on shipping. Very true. Just checked out the specifics and shipping caps at $40.50, which it hits after just 3 copies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8ight Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Are they still planning to do another repress for SotDD? I'd rather wait any just order them both if I can. I bought their recent Latitudes and Ancients represses, and they're really nice quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deafening Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Could always try a group buy for this to save on shipping. I am down to participate if enough people are after this. Which they should be because this album is fucking amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostTrail Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I am down to participate if enough people are after this. Which they should be because this album is fucking amazing. Agreed on both points. After we have just 4 people on board shipping is almost 50% cheaper. Also, if there's other people looking for other records from Shelsmusic (which they also should), it's a no brainer. I don't think there's any rush to get an order in either, so we can give it some time to see who's interested. I'd be okay with taking the helm on this one too.

Mars Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Love this album. I'd be interested if anyone in Canada (ON in particular) wants to do this. No point in jumping in to get it shipped to the US and paying for shipping from there. Or if any of you with an earlier pressing want to get this new one instead, I'd gladly take the old off your hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
