lethalenforcer Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 https://www.sacredbonesrecords.com/collections/releases/products/sba001-uniform-the-body-mental-wounds-not-healing Quote In Spring 2017, Uniform was asked to support fellow noisy, boundary-pushing duo The Body for a European tour. Having been longtime fans of the band, Uniform vocalist Michael Berdan and guitarist Ben Greenberg jumped at the opportunity. During the planning phase of the tour, Berdan and Lee Buford from The Body started corresponding regularly. Ultimately, Berdan asked Buford if he and The Body cofounder Chip King would be interested in making a collaborative record with Uniform. Buford enthusiastically assented, and the seed of Mental Wounds Not Healing was sown. The title of the record is a line stolen from the chorus of Ozzy Osbourne’s “Crazy Train.” Most of the titles are culled from horror literature and cinema, with specific nods to Shirley Jackson, Jack Ketchum, and Elem Klimov. Thematically, the songs have to do with feeling trapped in one’s own mind, projecting images over and over again of a future in shambles before it even gets a chance to happen. It is about hopelessness, anxiety, and depression so familiar that they seem like permanent fixtures of one’s psyche and identity. fitterhappier 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that essentially what they're doing? Look at this release or almost any of their others that follow the same model they've been using lately. Unless you think a wraparound warrants $6 extra. You can typically buy the color that's included in the "wraparound" limited version at any Indie store for cheaper than what SB upcharges. Standard black vinyl = $17 Indie color vinyl with wraparound sleeve = $23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladewillisisdead Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I'm fine with a small upcharge if it means someone actually did something. Does it cost $5 to make the wraparound? No. But that's more effort/time/labor than just "This one is clear" I've always been happy with my Sacred Bones purchases. youspinmeround 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Damn, I'm still getting a lot of mileage out of I Have Fought. Didn't expect another The Body release so soon. Went with the clear. Even though I've been a little disappointed their deluxe packaging, it was still a little hard to resist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a Sacred Bones exclusive so I'd expect it to pop up elsewhere. It's currently available at Norman and there are multiple distributors that are taking orders for it, so you can probably even ask your local store if they can get you a copy.
