hedon Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Finally! Both are available on 180 Gramm black vinyl and limited to 500 copies. The gatefold includes an A2 poster as well. Ordered The Mantle, stoked! http://grau.cd/label Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipsical Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 According to Discogs, the Ashes repress doesn't have Scars Of The Shattered Sky (Our Fortress Has Burned To The Ground)... That'd be lame if it's a blank D-side. Anyway, looking into ordering them both. Some guy on discogs already has these up at $65 a pop.

theinkd Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 i couldn't get Ashes to add to the cart for some reason but i ordered Mantle. just gotta figure out how to pay...? i guess they email you again with a paypal address when the order is complete? i don't know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Is there any chance of a US distro or the Band getting copies of these? I really don't want to miss out but am always up for cheaper shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitterhappier Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I'm confused, where the heck are you guys ordering these? e: n/v figured it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I ordered - got an email about it but no info on how to follow through on payment. This is really odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theinkd Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I ordered - got an email about it but no info on how to follow through on payment. This is really odd. same here, i guess you have to wait for them to confirm it. i had a similar experience with a Sleep bootleg from a german company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitterhappier Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Ordered as well, even though paying for shipping hurt my wallet. Looks like with paypal, they send you an invoice later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedon Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Yeah, the guy sent me the paypal address after the order. For those who haven't ordered already, you should ask them whether there's a cheaper way for shipping if you need only one item. It worked for me, so it's worth a shot.

wizzi Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 i don't have a good feeling about this. there has been no mention by Agalloch of these albums being repressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I ordered a couple hours ago and no follow up. I'll let folks know how this shakes out for US buyers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koremora Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Is this legit? I'm a little leery of ordering these for 22 euro shipping when I haven't heard anything about it from the band or otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyShackelford Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I'm gonna wait it out. Surely these will be repressed sometime soon. Based on no facts... Just hope Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morfiend Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 According to the band these are essentially bootlegs. Grau doesn't have the rights to distribute these in Europe anymore since their contract has been up with The End Records for a few years now. The End is taking Grau to court over this to make them stop selling them. The band says they won't see a dime from these but do plan on re-pressing them themselves very soon.

Sounds like a load of bullshit going on. I won't follow through on my order under these circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyShackelford Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Glad I didn't get them. I'd much rather support the band directly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koremora Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Excellent news. Can't wait for the legit represses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morfiend Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Here's a quote from John Haughm about these (taken from facebook) "From what I remember, the 3rd party contracts between TER and Grau were for 5 years. So that would mean even the AATG deal is up and what Grau is doing is totally illegal. These are essentially cheap bootlegs. If you guys like buying unofficial versions and garbage like that, be my guest. We are working on getting those vinyl rights to officially re-release the first 3 albums in the states."

Derek™ Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 So they're working on getting the rights. That's a bit different than "reissuing them very soon". I'd love to own these at their retail price. I'll hold out for an official repress, and hope that the band can actually make them happen.

That's why I went back and dug up the quote since I couldn't remember exactly what was said. I did have a rep from The End Records tell me they plan on having them reissued this year. My guess is The End and Agalloch are trying to work out some type of agreement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dm Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I hope this will also be done by profound. i bought the grau reissue - but will also buy the "offical" reissue cause i want to support agalloch. anyway i don´t think this is a bad pressing. grau also was a co releaser of the first mantle press. will spin this on the we. btw: both were sold on ebay for 80€! this is stupid. nevertheless. i won´t flipp them. hopefully they use this for the cover of the reissue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piecemeal Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Wow, glad I didn't win these on eBay the other day, they were from Germany brand new, had to have been these bootlegs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weinerdog Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I gotta check these guys out. I've only heard of them, but any band that has Katatonia(Gods IMO) as an influence probably kicks ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
