I posted about this in the old thread when the digital version dropped, but now that the vinyl is here I feel it's immensely more relevant:



My band's debut EP arrived today in the mail! All 500 copies of it. This is my first experience pressing a vinyl record, and I'm beyond proud of the final product; from the recording to the mastering to the whole package, I couldn't have asked for a better turnout. My jaw hit the floor when I spun it for the first time.

It's 4 songs, pressed at 45rpm on sun orange vinyl. You can get it here:
http://conveyor.bandcamp.com

(or just download the mp3s for free, yo).

If you live in or around NYC, stay tuned; we're having a homecoming release show when we get back from tour in early September.

$10 for an EP? What the gently caress is that about?

Anyone in here spent some time in Madison, WI? I'm going there next month for a business trip and I'd like to check out some record stores while I'm in town.

Yeah this kind of stuff is happening everywhere. Plan 9, which has been operating for the past 30 years, filed for bankruptcy recently and I'm sure it's safe to assume that they will be closing up shop sometime in the near future.

Yeah that's exactly what caused the beginning of the end. They tried to expand way too fast and they got spread way too thin money wise and they've just been playing catch up since then. I mean they opened like 7 or 8 new stores around the state in 2007 and all of them were closed by 2009.

Night Birds LP is AWESOME. I managed to get one of the early pre-order copies that comes with this screenprinted slipcover thing.

Stoked people are digging on the Night Birds LP. One of my favorite new bands of the past 5 years. That LP is amazing. Plus everyone needs to buy it so Alex can keep just running the label and not go back to having a real job.

So.. my question is who is doing flexis in the US? The last plant I knew of was the Christian-only one in Florida. I hear Pirate's Press (CZ) is doing them now, is that the only one?

I want to release some flexis basically and I'm looking for the cheapest place. If its not worth it I might try making a DIY cutterhead..

Erika does them but Flexis are retarded.

I know we've got some New England people here. Have any of you been to Analog Underground in Providence? I only heard about them recently, but apparently theyr on the same drat street as another shop I frequent (Armageddon Shop).

I'm heading up to Rhode Island next week are there any decent record stores in Newport that you know of? Hopefully I can stop by the shops in Providence as well.

Richmond has 3 good record stores and ignore the guy above who said Plan 9 because that place is the worst. My personal favorite is Vinyl Conflict for all your punk/hardcore/metal needs. Steady Sounds and Deep Groove are also cool but tend to price a little in the high side. Joint Custody in DC is awesome. I love My Mind's Eye in Cleveland. Celebrated Summer in Baltimore is pretty cool too.

That's a silly argument because you can't expect someone to assume that 30 years later one of their sons would find unreleased recordings, release them, and cause a huge blow up in interest of the band. That's just the nature of playing in bands that get overlooked.

Yeah that Nuns record is great. Alejandro Escovedo pre going solo. Great San Francisco punk I paid $40 for a copy not too long ago albeit in much better condition. That Barriers record is kind of weak but it might catch some money from the right Richmond collector.

In school I'm taking a fundamentals of public speaking class. For our Demonstration speech I showed the class "Advanced ebay searching and finding the value of things". As my "attention getter" I asked the class how much did they think Michael Jackson's Thriller on vinyl was worth. The serious answers were $50-80ish. Then while doing the searching I found the cheapest buy it now and bought it to prove a point. Paid like $7. Any creative ideas on what I should do with it now? I already have a copy, and it might not be in great shape since I didn't look at the description because the speech had a time limit and I was doing it live.

Lol you paid $7 for Thriller

how much did you pay for the reign in blood? have a beater copy I got for like 10 bucks but looking for a minty one.

the alt. tentacles flex your head is the one with the super dope XXX cover right? Definitely the best cover art.

Paid $20 for Reign In Blood. It's not NM or anything but the record plays perfectly after a cleanup. Yeah it has the XXX cover which is definitely the coolest one.

Sick! How much?

That was $35. It's tough to find Brazilian presses of tropicalia stuff in decent condition so I was so excited to see it. I want to jump into collecting all that stuff i.e. Os Mutantes, Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa, etc. but it can get expensive really quickly.

The first pressing has the "violin" cover; it's the one I have.



Nah the Wheat Cover, the Violin Cover, and the XXX cover were all done at the same time. Violin is out of 4000. Wheat is out of 3000. XXX is out of 2000 and is the UK press.
