bill Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Stoked for the White Trash Heroes reissue at some point, could never get in to Icky Mettle for some reason but loved all the other albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japes Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 This is bought. I love Archers of Loaf so much. Amazing albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almightyseancore Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 word. just a bummer that alias isn't doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avl Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I'm a fan of Merge doing it. I had several problems ordering from Alias in the past (losing my order, then the item selling out before I could resubmit). At any rate, Alias should've been on these much earlier.....

Guest Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 i got through the order page, and then saw ill be charged for this now.. instead of in august when it ships. anyone know how limited this is? i just dont wanna wait too long on it while it sells out.

chiefwahoo Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I've had Icky Mettle forever and I love it. A lot of their stuff stayed in print through Alias, right? Which albums have been OOP forever like Icky Mettle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quitlylosngcntrl Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 i bought "all the nations airports" and a few of the 7"s a couple years back through alias, and i'm pretty sure vee vee and white trash heroes stayed in print too. icky mettle is by far the toughest to find. again, i'd kind of like to know how limited this is too, cause i can't drop the cash now, and would rather wait til my next pay check in 2 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almightyseancore Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I've had Icky Mettle forever and I love it. A lot of their stuff stayed in print through Alias, right? Which albums have been OOP forever like Icky Mettle? just this and vee vee. alias still has everything else except maybe their 10" ep, i haven't checked in awhile. i know all nations airports is still in print but i don't know if it's still a picture disc. edit: speed of cattle is also out of print, but thats a comp, right? here's their list of stuffs. http://www.aliasrecords.com/productlistLP.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timpopkid Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I got the download emailed to me today when I pre-ordered the reissue (Even though I have the original, I love this record so much and wanted the Blue vinyl). Anyway, My download only has the songs from Icky Mettle, no bonus tracks, though it is mysteriously labels as "Disc 1." Something tells me it's not going to end up being a 2xLP.

Shitty Rambo Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Is merge the cheapest place to get this? Insound has it for a buck more ( http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/15688-icky-mettle/). I want to pick this up but I need to watch my spending :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmoney Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Definitely Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0055HVENA/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=kersjour-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399373&creativeASIN=B0055HVENA $16.54 and free shipping.

suchashorttime Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 i got mine from merge on saturday. it's beautiful. 1 LP, gatefold sleeve, printed picture inner sleeve, digital downloads for the bonus material. Sounds awesome. I think merge would be the cheapest, but it's well worth it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suburbanargyle Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 The bonus material is just the "greatest of all time" EP and some of the tracks from The Speed Of Cattle. Pretty disappointing, nothing I don't own already. The LP looks great though, nice package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I got mine today. The vinyl is super thin and flimsy, and mine came warped as hell. Damn records being released in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizarospeak Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 pre-ordered from Amazon. It would be sweet if it actually shows up tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 2-4 weeks handling time is ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
