The Weakerthans - Reunion Tour


Recommended Posts

I don´t think there are big differences. Maybe the gatefold sleeve or the mp3 download.

The differences I noticed in the past between Epitaph US and Epitaph Euro/Burning Heart

-The Euro releases always have printed cardboard innersleeves instead of an insert

-most of the stuff was pressed on heavy 180gr vinyl, for example the last Bad Religion records and I think also Reconstruction site...

But these differences are marginal, plus by the time you receive the record from Europe, the US vinyl might be out as well

I might pick up a copy today, if so, I´ll post pix

If Reunion Tour is being pressed on 180gr I'd much rather pick up the Euro version.

I´ve seen them in two different stores, all came shrinked. Plus the shop where I bought my copy is a small punkrock recordstore, not a big chain. Most of his stuff is unsealed.

I think Euro Epitaph/Burning Heart just started shrinkwrapping them some time ago, I remember as well the older releases weren´t shrinked. But the last two european Bad Religion LPs also came shrinkwrapped. I don´t see too much sense in shrinkwrapping records anyway. Unsealed makes it easier to check for color wax and the shrinkwrap doesn´t provide much protection to the sleeves at all. So why do companies seal vinyl?

Anyway, this is absolute nerd talk. We better stop it

So first it was bumped back to October. Then November 20. Now it's been bumped to December 4. Even though $23 euro is like $33.20 USD, that Euro press is really starting to look tempting. Especially considering I have a sneaking suspicion the US version isn't even going to be a gatefold, and it's gonna be on really cheap vinyl, and it's gonna get pushed back at least one more time.

I saw them just over a week ago and I'm still psyched about it, if that says anything about how much I love this band. I guess it depends how much my phone bill is and what my overtime from last week looks like.
