zaoza Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 (edited) http://thrilljockey.com/products/ride-the-skies Lightning Bolt’s Ride the Skies sees a true classic from the band’s catalogue back in print for the first time in a long time. Arguably the first album where the duo first truly nailed their patented sound, Ride the Skies saw Lightning Bolt refine the auditory chaos of their self-titled debut into something much more concise and direct, bulking out pieces with more muscular sonics without sacrificing the sheer velocity and wild energy that made their first release so exhilarating.

Derek™ Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Thanks a ton for posting this one. Been waiting a while to add this to my collection. I've been relying on Bandcamp e-mails to scoop up the last few reissues, and was surprised to see it's only available at Thrill Jockey so far. Glad they're continuing the same artsy packaging, too. I love how quickly these are rolling in – feels like the S/T went up just a few weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaoza Posted December 6, 2019 Author Share Posted December 6, 2019 Yea I was expecting it to be up on bandcamp too. Maybe anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voltagedrop Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Thanks for the heads up. Kinda wish they would announce these reissues all at once, shipping to Canada is killing me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bortx Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) Wow, these reissues are going fast, again I already own this one but it is nice to see this happening Edited December 9, 2019 by bortx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrill Jockey still has this in stock which leads me to believe that bortx just meant that these are dropping / happening in rapid succession. (To which I’d agree.) But to answer your question specifically, the color versions of these reissues are selling out surprisingly quick, yeah. I still don’t see RTS the bandcamp page. I imagine only Thrill Jockey will be selling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterrod Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 (edited) Looks like it sold out as I was checking out. I waited to long for this to show up on bandcamp. EDIT: It's back and I got one. Edited December 10, 2019 by monsterrod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine only Thrill Jockey will be selling it. So apparently the color versions of the reissues are still available (newly available?) on Thrill Jockey, though sold out on bandcamp. Just snagged the yellow S/T, blue RTS, and rainbow WR. They also have green copies of Sonic Citadel and most press of Fantasy Empire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
