Sleeve is in mint/near mint condition, basically perfect, vinyl is also in immaculate condition and plays great. Damn, nice find! Did that pop up on your wantlist, or did you contact people yourself? Also, in case you guys didn't see it... on Friday, Bandcamp is giving 100% of their proceeds of every sale to the ACLU. If there's some things you've been thinking about picking up, that's the day to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, considering that I've never seen a copy for sale, it was never been sold on discogs or ebay and its conditions, I guess I had a great deal for that price. 5 minutes ago, Gumbo72203 said: Damn, nice find!

I have the test press on the way. Now that you have one of the hardest variants crossed off, are you going to keep going? Maybe variant collect?

Yeah, I think I'll keep going, I collect variants of the bands/records I like more and Caspian it's definitely one of those, expecially Tertia and D&D are two of my favourite albums of all time, I love to own different variants of them and I'll definitely keep my eyes open for those I'm missing. I'm not much into test pressings, except for that YATC+TFT with the wood sleeve which is marvellous or others with nice alternate/special covers, however if I'll have the chance to find one or more at decent prices I'll go with them for sure. I believe it's pretty silly to think I could be a Caspian completist considering that there're like 70 records total and I have +/- 20 but I will definitely keep searching for those variants I like more.

I believe Mylene Sheath may have one more of them laying around. I'll see if I can find out for you. And hey, I started at 0 and look at me now. I remeber when I had 20. Now I have like 73 or something. Haha. It's fun to do. I get not wanting though cause some are really tough, but you got, in my opinion, the hardest one. The rest should be a breeze minus a small handful, even which those shouldn't be too hard. That reminds me, I need to do a family photo when my test press gets here, so be on the look out for that.

mrewest Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) If anyone is into Terraformer (dark, sludgey, heavy post-metal), they have a new song up and preorders for their new album. I really dig the new song. If anyone has interest in preordering this, I figured out the best way to do it is 3 at a time. Cuts the price with shipping down to $26.34 per person. Otherwise it's $37 on your own. And if you go 4 or more, it bumps into the 2nd tier of shipping costs. EDIT: I guess this will be available domestically in a few weeks if anyone is actually interested. Album art is far more cartoonish than previous efforts which I don't care for, but the variants sound perfect. Purple w/ black splatter & orange (both /150 & 180g). Check it out. https://www.dunkfestival.be/news/2017/1/31/terraformer-premiere-pre-order Edited February 2, 2017 by mrewest drds89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reminds me, I need to do a family photo when my test press gets here, so be on the look out for that. Yeah man, thanks for your interest and for trying to find out about that test from TMS, as I said I would really love to have that one (in case, I hope I don't have to wait a year or so to get it ). I started listening to Caspian sometime after Tertia was released I think, got a few of their records at that time and I basically always kept an eye on their vinyl records since that time. Since I've never basically have the precise purpose to have a complete collection my approach is more waiting for variants I like more, in pristine conditions and nice priced and when they arrive they arrive. I believe I was lucky enough and have never overpaid any of the Caspian records I have (except for Tertia trans maroon and trans maroon/haze) the price was always between 20€ and 35€ ppd. I think that your approach to Caspian records was different, you made the decision, at least 4/5 year ago I think, that you want them all which is great and with dedication you (incredibly) made that happened. I have never pushed the research of variants too much and maybe the time to concretely believe I can do that has passed, I mean, one thing is starting to track down variants 5 years ago or more and another is starting now (already owning 20, ok), I think it would be much harder to reach the goal nowdays. Can't wait to see that family photo! Edited February 1, 2017 by fizio59 Sad Heart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbo72203 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 So.... as far as that thing with my copy of Noir goes, I filed a "seller not responding" thing on Discogs, and his account will be suspended tomorrow at 9:15am or something if he doesn't reply. I also started the claim procedure with Paypal. I hope everything is okay with him, but.... that's not my problem. Still waiting on my Faltre record.... that's been held up in customs it seems. And now a new issue haha, I ordered a copy of "Youth" on vinyl and "Lades" on CD from the great band Temples, and that was going on 3 weeks ago now.... haven't heard a word back from them either! arrrrrghhhh. Messages on Facebook and email have gone unresponsive so far. I'll give that another week before I begin the Paypal claim sequence for THAT one. The universe truly hates me for something right now.

Haha. Wait a minute. @Gumbo72203 have you ever bought a record from a store, ever? Or is just via online? Cause, dude, support your local shop. My local shop sucks balls here in Albany, for the most part. They don't have post-rock. I did buy a copy of "Aja" by Steely Dan from them. But i don't buy from them because their "VG+" means that it only has 4 skips in it. I don't like them, I don't agree with their grading/pricing. I buy my sleeves from him though, to support him a little bit. And some used CD's every once in a while. He's had some copies of "Panopticon" for sale, but they always ask like $45 for them. It's kinda ridiculous. People buy it though, just not me. When I was in poughkeepsie last visiting my girlfriend, we went to Darkside Records and I bought 2 used Jesu CD's and a copy of "Mosquito Control" on CD. That was a sick find. Being on a part-time income, I can't afford dropping $30 on a record in the store that I can get for $18ppd online or whatever.

Hopefully he's able to get it figured out. The post-office said that the sticker on the front means that they received it from customs damaged like this, which I was told is something that happens often...

mrewest Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 For my birthday a while back I received 2 American Dollar albums on vinyl (A Memory Stream & Technicolour Sleep). Just now getting around to spinning TS (spun MS around when I got them), but I just had to comment on how insanely good these records sound. Perfectly produced & pressed. Such rich, full sound. Really gives new life to these albums. I've always been a pretty casual fan of them but vinyl is definitely the best way to listen to them. Highly recommend picking up copies of their stuff if you don't have it (although maybe I was the only one without it already haha). andables 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
