Oh okay good, I can start doing it that way, it makes more sense to me than the couple vids I saw of people sleeving their Taylor records outside the jacket

 

Cold Years are doing a cool 2 for 1 vinyl offer for "Bandcamp Friday" this week:

 

I've always just left my records in their sleeve. I try not to pack my shelves too tights and have never had any problems.

 

This guy transferred the hype sticker from the plastic onto the outer sleeve and it looks so ugly. I guess don't follow everything you see online

 

sleeving Taylor has always been a mixed bag, especially if you plan on storing discs outside of the jacket (even with extra large outer sleeves). it sucks that (aside from Fearless TV) she insists on packaging her releases in double gatefolds, but at least (if sleeved properly) they'll somehow fit reasonably within their jackets. the bulk of the extra cardboard and the tightness of the outer sleeve make it difficult to store one or more discs outside the jacket unless you either sandwich some between the gatefold or use a combination of storing them inside and outside of the jacket (which i've seen people do with Red TV). TTPD ruined this method by using a slightly wider jacket and sandwiching a booklet between the gatefold. i keep seeing TikToks of people struggling to not only put it in a standard sized outer sleeve, but then go ahead and store BOTH records in the back of a package that's already a tight fit. unless you buy extra large sleeves, it's just not worth it.

i only ever keep hype stickers if a) the record was packaged in a lower quality outer sleeve but came with a hype sticker affixed to it and i just want to transfer it over to a new outer sleeve, or b) it makes aesthetic sense. your records won't lose any value if you don't keep a hype sticker, and sometimes it's not worth the hassle it takes to remove the sticker from different kinds of packaging (particularly plastic-free alternatives).

 

Here’s that official announcement on Mike Shinoda’s vinyl reissue of “Post Traumatic”

 

i haven't heard the new master, but if it's better than the original, it makes zero sense not to use it for this pressing, especially if you're cutting a new lacquer (unless it would cause playback issues). at least it's not $70.

 

TTTH furiously ripping hype stickers off the packaging.

 

Streetlight Manifesto "Everything Goes Numb" repress. There's also represses of "The Hands That Thieve" and "Somewhere in the Between" .

Streetlight Manifesto "Everything Goes Numb" RED VINYL Double LP (Independent Release)

Streetlight Manifesto 'The Hands That Thieve' RED VINYL LP (Independent Release)

Streetlight Manifesto 'Somewhere In The Between' RED VINYL LP (Independent Release)

 

Looks like $25+ for shipping to the US

 

That was about to be an instant purchase for me until I saw shipping for ONE record to the UK is $45. Wow.

 

Is everything numb not on Apple Music anymore? Wtf?

 

Yea, I saw they were doing preorders at a recent show for it. Haven’t seen any details beyond that yet.

 

I managed to order one through someone I knew going to the show; I got the email to confirm everything from TDR yesterday. Test presses are in and they should be shipping this summer.

 

I'm gonna continue to listen through my collection as I put on the inner sleeves, partly because I want to use my brush on them, but I went ahead and put on all the outer sleeves, because it looked weird to only have a few of them on

 

I also got an email from MNRK Heavy that you can take 20% off their items on Bandcamp (today only) with code: HEAVYMAY

 

Deathwish Inc is having a huge vinyl blowout. 2xLP are 15/LP are 10 and 7” are 3

Vinyl Blowout!

 

new 7" from Be Well out today - Be Well - A Tap I Can't Turn Off - Single (lnk.to)

 

The Honorary Title vinyl is on sale now.

Ended up going with the Smartpunk exclusive. Was torn between that and the ETR splatter which was the most limited, but shipping was 4 bucks cheaper with Smartpunk. That makes me financially responsible, right?

 

Dicks’ frontman just died. Went to look at their vinyl prices on discogs. An original press of their first 7” is 4 grand

 

Also grabbed the smartpunk version. Saw it go up at 10:59 and snagged it. I think I’m over splatter as a variant so passed on the ETR version.

 

We all deserve a pat on the back, according to this Spin article: In The Age Of Streaming, Physical Media Is Keeping Indie Artists Afloat - SPIN

 

Looks like that code works for Goodbye To Misery but not for A Different Life.

 

aside from a slight bend in the sleeve, this showed up in great condition
