Very sad I missed the orange variant.  Sold out at TM and Deathwish.  Anyone know where else might have it?

Probably literally everywhere if this is anything like Flood, which was handled by TMR as well.

I’d start checking Luna, Zia, Bull Moose, etc.

Maybe we can start using this thread for all things Boris?

That works for me.

They also announced tour dates with Melvins, with each band focusing on earlier material exclusively.  Should be a blast.

I would be surprised if there’s any leftover.  Saw a lot in hand at the show I attended, and it’s /400 per Reddit comments that cite the band’s merch guy.

Yeah, I saw a LOT of copies floating around the venue, if they aren't limiting sales then I would be surprised about there being leftover. Also can confirm the /400.

Per a comment on the Discogs entry for the tour press they’re already out of them. Hopefully they can at least get some of the indie-orange copies for subsequent dates, if nothing else.

 

Considering the lore about this being unavailable for so long bc the OG label wanted an insane sum for the masters, I hope they pressed decent numbers to get their money’s worth. If it’s a big enough part of your catalog to tour on & if your fans skew toward weird vinyl obsessives, you’d think that would see a bigger run than some other albums.

Got the tour press and I'm rly happy with the sound of it, plus the packaging aesthetic is super cool. Never actually seen one of the CDs in person, so maybe it was the same way, but the vinyl packaging (and booklet) are ENTIRELY the same bright orange color, with detailing in translucent spot-gloss.
