dipdiperra Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1514801855/the-gerbils-are-you-sleepy-vinyl-lp-reissue Kickstarter actually includes their first 2 albums. They're pretty close to reaching their goal. The Gerbils included a couple Neutral Milk Hotel members. Are You Sleepy is truly one of the gems of the Elephant 6 discography. Supposedly E6 is going to be launching several Kickstarter campaigns throughout the year to reissue some of their back catalog. Keep an eye out. fondfarewell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Steele Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Cool. Ordered. Gotta confess I wasn’t familiar with them, but have always dug NMH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t familiar either until I saw them open up for Jeff Mangum a couple times. Really good band. I need these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handsome Western States needs to be pressed. I ended up getting the hand-poured version of Are You Sleepy through the Kickstarter, but am trying to get better at saving money so didn’t spring for the bundle. Really looking forward to this.

Yessssss. I want When Your Heartstrings Break badly too. And I wouldn't scoff at The Coast Is Never Clear even though I have that one and spent more than I'd have liked to on it.

unknown pleasures Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 So much focus on Neutral Milk Hotel, Olivia Tremor Control & Apples in Stereo ended up causing a lot of the smaller bands to get ignored. Beulah was great. And the Gerbils had a run of killer 7”singles in the late 90s that are well worth checking out if you’re into that DIY, bedroom indie sound. thesewoodenideas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesewoodenideas Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 In for the hand poured LP. Tempted to order a second as each is a different colour. Seems to be the start of a full E6 reissue campaign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Looks like ~50 people or less sprung for the hand pours. Doubt they're gonna mak too many extra. I'm a little surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdwell Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I just got a black copy of each LP. I don't need wacky colors for an extra price. Jazzed to snag a copy of each for certain though. Sincerely hope E6 puts Beaulah's Handsome Western States up on a Kickstarter like they did with this release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesewoodenideas Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Sounds like this is just the start for E6 reissues so hopefully a lot more to come. Already have both Lps by The Gerbils so happy to kick a few extra quid their way to support the band and E6. The 'wacky' colours are a nice option in scenarios like this. Surprised there weren't more takers for it to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a small run. thesewoodenideas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesewoodenideas Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Still not many. 102 is a tiny run! Kind of wish I'd went for 2 now especially with each hand pour being unique/diff colour. Maybe on the next E6 reissue. I'd be up for some Ladybug Transistor, Sunshine Fix and Beulah reissues. And the Major Organ LP & dvd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Barkley Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Mine just showed up yesterday! You'll know when it arrives because there will be an E6 stamp on the box. thesewoodenideas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
