 I love the MoM Like A Virgin release but it’d be nice with an actual sleeve and not just construction paper. 

 

Why you hatin' on my baby?1?! Facilitating that release was the start of my working w/ Austin...and what a ride it has been so far. 

 

😉

Throw all three albums, This Is Meant To Hurt You and Like A Virgin into a slipcase and I will gladly spend way too much money on it. Preferably remastered, gatefold and whatever else they can do to justifiably differentiate them from the originals. I love the MoM Like A Virgin release but it’d be nice with an actual sleeve and not just construction paper. 

I cannot agree more. I don't even care about gatefolds (I actually like them in single pocket jackets) or differentiating from the originals. I just want them optimally cut and pressed and if they're together in a box or all separate its whatever to me. I definitely feel you on the MoM press of Like A Virgin. Its a killer pressing and its the ONLY pressing ever so big shout out to MoM for fulfilling the dream I had of owning that on vinyl finally. Plus, it sounds awesome but yeah, something about that homemade feeling jacket leaves me wanting for a standard style jacket construction. Well put!

Haha, had no idea you were connected to that until now. Don’t get me wrong, I love that thing and it’s still one of my favorite records I own. I have the milky white version and it is beautiful. I vaguely remember the shipping box having the etching art or something on it and I held on to that thing for way too long.

Major respect and thanks for helping that along. I'm not trying to hate at all but yeah, I do really yearn for a standardized jacket for that release. Its amazing what you guys did. As I said, it fulfilled the release of one of my never pressed wishful releases so that is amazing and the mastering is great. But since its OOP now, we might as well get someone to facilitate a new pressing in the vain of the other reissues.

 

Thank you again, for bringing that into the world.

It's funny. I don't even remember how I met Austin initially. It may have been when I was writing for the record collecting blog. I know he reached out wanting me to review some of the MOMR releases he had done at the time...may have been just a handful. He sent me a bunch over. Some months later he reached out asking me if I could help him with making contact with the Hydra Head folks, since he knew I know them well...esp. A.Turner...cuz he wanted to see what he could put out on vinyl that HH had not done. So we worked together on getting the Like A Virgin split as the first one. 

 

Been working with him on a bunch other releases and bringing some bands to put out stuff on MOMR. It's been fun.

Thanks. That means a lot to hear. I'm usually in the background of things with the label really. I joke that my title is Chief Lackey. 

 

The screenprinting and sleeve process has gotten incredibly improved since the days of the "construction paper" (I know that's not a diss) and some of our latest releases have been in proper standard jackets...and we have been having the bands make that decision if they want a standard jacket or handmade screenprinted DIY fancy ones. 

 

I'll talk to Austin and maybe get Dave at Suicide Squeeze involved also to see if it'd make sense to reissue the split. I don't see why it wouldn't given what's been going in the world of TAAS right now.

This would be mindblowing-ly AWESOME. Seriously.

 

But yeah, I'm glad it means something to you to hear that. Its one of those underdog, super unlikely titles that I just thought would never get done so congrats on being the first and for doing a phenomenal job to boot.

I echo what mcpherson said. You guys pressed that at the peak of my TAAS/Botch obsession and I appreciate you facilitating that. I had only heard Payday Loans from that split before spinning it for the first time and it blew my mind. I ended up buying an extra copy for a friend to initiate him into that whole scene.
 

I’m glad you didn’t take offense to my construction paper comment.

Quick update for your consideration: earlier this week, per one RRBG podcast – on Spotify, I read; haven't listened to verify for myself – Brian said that the first 2 albums will be pressed by Epitaph, late 2022.  Get comfy.  No mention of anything else being pressed from what I gather.

That makes sense since Epitaph bought Jade Tree's back catalog.

so my local record store is listing both easter and oxeeners on colored and non-colored vinyl with a release date of 06.24 and on Jade Tree (sorry the site is in Hungarian) so this might be the  big news they are teasing.

 

Oxeneers Or The Lion Sleeps When Its Antelope (Orange Vinyl)

Easter (Translucent Blue Vinyl)

That's amazing! Thank you for posting! Where exactly is the indication that there is a non-colored variant for these? I've translated the pages but I don't see anything about that.

Thank you! I actually needed to click on the "Vinyl LP" tab to get that screen. When I clicked on their name from the link it only showed 2 CD but clicking on Vinyl LP showed what you have in the screen shot. I guess that makes perfect sense. I was just too excited to approach the site layout rationally lol. I'm a dork.

Not defaulting to "All" [or requiring format specification before seeing results] is an odd choice to me.
