mrewest Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I will (hopefully) flip this thing so fast if what I’m reading is true. I’ve seen that two different places now 😩 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewberinger Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 yeah it's not like the band bamboozled anyone haha - I got it purely as a collector's piece similar to the National 9xLP boxset of them playing Sorrow for a million hours haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 There's people on Reddit saying the record doesn't even have grooves on it now. Which is it? Did a massive error happen where some of these are literally blank? That can't be what this actually is 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 My theory is these are lathe cut and a bunch of blank discs got packaged and shipped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not a snobby knock on them, it’s just an odd linkage); glad I have this coming to at least check it out, as I am Sitting in a Room is one of my favorite pieces of the last century.

highfives Posted February 26, 2022 Author Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) If anyone wants to buy my copy, hit me up. $50 shipped in the States (I paid $56). edit: Sold double edit: just to comment on what this is since it was so elusive… The music is literally the hum of instruments being turned on for the majority of the a-side. Towards the end of side A you hear some harmony notes from a non-descript instrument. Kinda sounds like strings but a little more electronic. Side B is basically the same but at lower volume. the 10 page booklet is literally 5 pieces of blank black paper, folded in half, and stapled to make a 10 page book. If there’s anything written on it, it’s in invisible ink or something.

magickspells Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I don’t think I’ll be opening mine when it arrives. Might sell it after a while. They’re one of my top fav bands, but the fact that this was, arguably, sneakily worded as a special album of unreleased music… “Well they never said it was new songs!!” Fair enough, but $60 is $60 that I could have spent on many other things. We waited like 7 months to get a vinyl with “nothing” on it lol. mrewest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
