xbpr Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 https://www.subpop.com/news/2014/01/27/afghan_whigs_are_back_on_sub_pops_roster The truly awesome fact that the Afghan Whigs are releasing their first record in 16 years is exciting enough for us to lose our proverbial shit over; the fact that we, Sub Pop Records, have the honor of putting it out is enough for us to lose our literal shit over. (Gross? Sure. True? Maybe.) With that said, mark your calendars for April 15th, 2014 as the day that The Afghan Whigs make a very welcome return into all of our lives with Do to the Beast, their first record in 16 years! More details will be on the way very soon, so check back in. Until then, rejoice, the prodigal sons have returned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I'm looking forward to tour info. I saw them the last time they came through and they were on fire. It was a great show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiefwahoo Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 If they aren't my favorite band of all time, they're in the top three. Nothing has blown my mind more than their reunion, especially since Dulli hasn't missed a beat on his own. I bet Rick isn't in this incarnation, which is blasphemy. http://boards.vinylcollective.com/topic/246-post-a-pic-of-your-collection-band-or-label-only/page-30#entry72154 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

degenerex Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 why so expensive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyfranciosa Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 yeah, jeez. most of their other 2xLP are $17-$21. The Afghan Whigs are a top 5 band for me, so I'll pay, but I won't like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ntslash Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Maybe I'm missing something, but where does it say it is a loser edition? It says it on the Afghan Whigs site as well as the Afghan Whigs mail list. It seems the Sub Pop's preorders have been slow about getting the information out lately. When the Chad VanGaalen preorder went up recently, there was no info other than a buy link. Same thing here. When I ordered, I received a confirmation email that my shipment would go out by January 28th, 2014. Good luck with that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aekastar Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I now emailed help to get my account section fixed. no confirmation either, nothing I'm still excited about the release, but should've waited a little bit for them to finish updating the listing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntslash Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 More info up now. Loser edition is white. 50 people will receive a signed tour poster. aekastar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aekastar Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I got a late confirmation email (probably from earlier 'cause it has the January date... hah), but my account is still broken and no response yet on fixing it. I hope it really went through. I hardly ever luck out with random things, but that poster seems exciting and white vinyl is always nice [Edit: I got a reply and my account's now been fixed and the order def went through, so now I'm officially fully excited for this! ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear801 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 How has SubPop been handling Loser editions lately. Some have been huge numbers (Postal Service was 3000 I think). Any info on this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
