billynomates Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 If anyone wants all the bonus tracks on vinyl, Fire Records in the UK are doing the reissue as a double LP: http://www.firerecords.com/site/index.php?page=artists&artistid=00000000670 Also all the Giant Sand albums, a vinyl press of Teenage Fanclub's Deep Fried Fanclub, and the new Rocket from the Tombs Noice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longwalkshortpiers Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Disappointed in the sound on this one. Vocals seem low and not to mention the flimsy vinyl itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Disappointed in the sound on this one. Vocals seem low and not to mention the flimsy vinyl itself.

casey Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Bummed to hear about the vinyl quality. All of my Merge records are pretty solid. Hopefully I can pick this up Saturday night a little cheaper than what's been mentioned here. Anyone else going to Archers reunion shows?

gravitylovesdrunks Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 2-4 weeks handling time is ridiculous. uhh, you do know that not every label is run by some bearded guy on a messageboard, right? merge records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kai Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 can anyone else confirm the quality of these? every other merge record i have is great, so it's sort of surprising that these would be shoddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus 'LP plus download code' makes me think the bonus tracks are download only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billynomates Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 It's advertised in UK magazines as 2CD and 2xLP. Ordered one, so will see when it comes, not out till end of Sept.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
