I haven't had a solid mail day in a long time so I'm stoked to finally post in here again.  Today I got this bad boy.

If there's one thing I gather from VC and instagram, it's that you are one of the hugest Face to Face fans I've seen, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Thanks.  

 

I grew up in Victorville, CA, which is the bands hometown, and have been listening to them religiously since they formed in 91.  Our local music scene was crap so they blew my world away in HS back in the day and I still love this just as much.

v/a - "Soft Speak Records Fest 12 Split" - orange /400

Marietta - "Summer Death" /125

Minot - "The Ringing Silence Between Your Ears" - white /100

Dan Deacon - "Bromst"

Mi Ami - "Dolphins"

+HIRS+ - "Antichristmas * Happy Holigays" CS - mistletoe green /25

 

I'm spinning the Marietta record now and thinking about how I've been watching them grow as a band for the past two years from shitty North Philly basement shows to having their album pressed on vinyl and having that sell out in two months. Shedding a tear for the little bouls that could.

Bought a copy of Make Do and Mend's Everything You Ever Loved on gold from Ebay, and what I received is better suited to be used as a funnel rather than a playable record. Lucky me. Her description of it was " New, never played". She didn't mention the terrible warping or the 2" tear on the spine.

I contacted the seller, but I'm guessing that I'll have to go through Paypal.

if its from someone who collects and never plays, it's possible they were unaware of the warp.

 

as for the seam split, that could have happened during shipping.

 

also, i really wanted to make a joke about the bands name and how you should handle the situation, but i decided not to.
