rooks Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 Just now, OldKentuckyShark said: Bought the Yellow Electric version despite that hefty price Same. Bummer it's standard black vinyl just with extra art/sleeve or whatever... That said Liz's stuff is usually pretty nice and printed on nice stock and adds to the vibe of the album, so I like to grab them when I can. Stupidly, standard vinyl pressings inflating to $35+ shipped really made it easier for me to convince myself that $59 shipped wasn't horrendous. Regardless - the single is really good and I'm stoked for the return of guitar Grouper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Would've loved the print version, but I'm happy with the regular one. Probably helps that I always miss out on the fancy ones anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwokeinrelief Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 First time I've ever been on top of it enough to get one of her nicer versions. Many thanks to @rooks for the post, as I would have missed the announcement / email otherwise. rooks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even debated not bothering because I typically don't post PO threads very often, but glad it helped somebody out - and hey, I'm not the only VCer who duped themself into dropping $59 on a 3 month PO without even listening to a single. Win, win 😅 iwokeinrelief 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoon Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I was able to grab one of the yellow electric presses juuuuust before they sold out (7 copies left as I checked out). It’s been awhile since I’ve felt any urgency regarding a vinyl release, nice to know the right artist can still send me into a panic.

Win, win 😅 lol. not been disappointed with one of her releases yet, so always willing to take a blind swing on her stuff. but it is hella disconcerting to drop $50+ on an album and not even note how damn expensive it is as I'm doing so. kind of feel like the proverbially frog being boiled.

Derek™ Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 35 minutes is another mini listen but at least it’s longer than Grid. Cool to hear her returning to some of her more acoustic / guitar centered material, too. It’s been a while. OneThreeOneTwo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plarocks Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Anyone having buyers remorse for the Yellow Electric version of Shade, I am your guy. Found out about this at 1:30pm on Tuesday, and they were LONG gone. ☹️ Please PM your offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwgncpr Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 The new song is gorgeous. I'm really looking forward to this. Grid of Points was okay, but felt a little weak as a follow up to Ruins, which I adored. Derek™ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throwgncpr Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Liz dropped a new Raum album today: https://grouper.bandcamp.com/album/daughter The special edition (gold leaf on insert) sold out before I even knew it was up. The only difference is the insert though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either there were like 10 editions or people got advanced notice elsewhere but yeah I wasn’t too heartbroken when I saw it was just a different insert Edited February 5, 2022 by OldKentuckyShark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost bought the regular version but listened to it and don’t think this is something I need to own. I haven’t listened to their first album in like 10 years or however old it is.

He said his friend posted about it before he sent me the link. So I guess that doesn’t really solve anything lol. I think Shade was sold out by the time I got an email too and I was pretty annoyed.

spoon Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Wishful thinking on my part but it’d be cool if the deluxe edition inserts were randomly included with orders. Probably not but I’m surprised no one seems to have seen them in stock at any point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
