fizio59 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Vault Package #39: SLEEP LIVE AT THIRD MAN RECORDS Sign up now at thirdmanrecords.com/vault One of the biggest stories in rock music this past year was the unexpected return of Sleep with the surprise April 20th release of their new record The Sciences on Third Man Records. As lifelong fans of the band (and OM, and High on Fire, and Neurosis...) we were nothing if not honored to be the label that released their first album in nearly 20 years. This record not only cemented the band's legacy but built upon it by pulling off the rarest of returns. It was insanely good. Not only were they here, but they were better than ever. The Sciences is spiritual, speculative, messianic and heavy as all hell. Rampant touring ensued, and if you have seen them live this past year, then you know there are among the most powerful bands working today. Just last month, on December 12th, Sleep brought the roadshow to the Third Man headquarters in Nashville and recorded over 2 hours of career-defining material to a live audience using our direct-to-acetate / audio mixed and mastered in real-time system. Seven, count them, seven lacquer cuts later we are prepared and excited to announce that a QUADRUPLE Sleep live album of songs spanning 26 years of their career is our next Vault package. Proceed the Weedian... The set will be presented on 4 different colored vinyl (purple, orange, blue, green), each in their own individual jacket all housed in a sturdy slipcase. A reproduction of the poster from the show, and a mystery Sleep / TMR mission patch completes your set. Sign up HERE before Jan 31st or miss out... forever. We estimate that packages will begin shipping in March. Side One: Leagues Beneath Side Two: Dopesmoker (Part One) Side Three: Dopesmoker (Part Two) Holy Mountain Side Four: The Clarity Aquarian Side Five: Sonic Titan Side Six: Marijuanaut’s Theme Giza Butler Side Seven: The Botanist Dragonaut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Probably a good idea to do a separate thread. The only reason I looked at the Third Man thread was because @Metal Mike commented. Definite buy, but need to hold off for various reasons. Hope I remember before it closes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) So.... there won't be a standard edition that I don't have to buy a vault in order to get like basically all the other Live At Thirdman LP's???? Someone please explain this bullshit to me. Edited January 7, 2019 by mcpherson123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except you will still have the opportunity to bitch about them not being black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am correct that basically every other Live At Third Man disc has had a standard release that you can buy in a record store usually, right? Another question: Don't a lot of these direct to acetate recordings sound a little ass-y? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Sigh. I love Sleep, hate Third Man, hate live show recordings, but love patches. I'm very torn on this. I wish they'd show what the patch looks like so I could make sure it prioritizes the mission patch design and Sleep, with little to no Third Man shit. That's the selling point for me on this.

bortx Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I don't even wanna look at the price... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I have the PJ live show from Third Man and it sounds like a raw, live record. I remember some people were being fussy about this or that. I dig it a lot, but that's me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it was just that one that was like that or if they all end up getting cut too hot like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) Considering they charged $50-$60 for different Sciences versions $60 for this is a steal. I'm in. I know this has been asked somewhere 1000x but basically i just sign up, order this, and then cancel my membership before the next quarter/release and I'm good?

If I understand it right, if you order a vault subscription today you are charged for it today, and it will automatically re-charge for the next vault subscription in three months from today. So the deal is: order today, then cancel your subscription after January 31st and before three months from today. Your sleep album will be shipped around March. fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcpherson123 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Yeah, that clip sounds pretty good. Vocals are pretty quiet but shit. This might just be worth it. Are we sure there won't be a standard version of this like all the other LATMR releases??? Anyone??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apirk Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Going to guess there won’t be a standard version because they haven’t done it for any of the live vault releases. they do Blue/black only for concert attendees and black standard release for their regular live at third man releases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nancy_raygun Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Is it $60 every 3 months or is that just the introductory price and it goes down afterwards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isavedlatin54 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Yea...ordered with that quickness. Brother in law got me a gift card for TMR for Christmas..ended up only putting down 35 bucks. I’m in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep same price every 3 months. I've been a Vault member since 2011 and I don't think it has ever changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do Vault members still get a discount for Tidal subscriptions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
