Well someone pressed more because LITA alone sold more than the stated pressing numbers. Same goes for the Stabbing Westward titles.

Is LITA active on here? Where's our check?! 

I wish our pressing #s were inflated... we've yet to go into a second press on ANYTHING yet, aside from the Eve 6 self titled (plug: second press out of 500 will be available on the bands upcoming anniversary tour for the album, /300 on “bloodshot” vinyl and /200 on white vinyl from our store + Light in the Attic).

Sponge "Wax Ecstatic" is coming to vinyl for the first time! Pre-orders begin Monday at Noon ET.

Pre-Orders start Monday, August 29th at Noon (eastern standard time) on our webstore

First released in 1996, the sophomore album from Sponge remains a fan favorite, featuring the singles "Wax Ecstatic (To Sell Angelina)" and “Have You Seen Mary”.

At times more raw and gritty than its predecessor Rotting Piñata, Wax Ecstatic isn’t afraid to experiment, a common trait for Sponge throughout their career. The album peaked at number 60 on the Billboard 200 with significant radio airplay and videos in rotation on MTV.

Over 25 years since it was first released, we’ve carefully restored and formatted the original artwork for the vinyl release. Estimated ship date of 9/22/22 (not too long of a wait
😉)

Just listened to this and Rotting Pinota today for the first time in years. Both albums, pretty much, suck.

 

6 decent songs between both records. Some things do not hold up 26-28 years later.

Cool opinion. I still think both albums are great, but I'm sure there is something you like that I think sucks.

Did you really like the albums better when they were current? I think they hold up well considering it's just rock and roll and they were never all that highly regarded to begin with.  I love(d) Sponge and played them both a million times but that was an era where I had fairly limited access to new albums so everything I could get my hands on got played to absolute death. But yeah, I think I always knew half of Wax Ecstatic was a chore to get through. I still can't wait to buy it.

That back half certainly dips for me.  But the A side is a banger.

 

Rotting Piñata holds up though, even three decades later.
