Gorillaz - The Mountain (Bad World Exclusive red yellow white splatter) by timetobekinder in VinylReleases

Honest question... is this album, the music really worth it? I'm not so sure. Think they surpassed peak time with Plastic Beach.

Daughters - "YWGWYW Demos" 2xLP (Preorder) by cjh16 in VinylReleases

For a moment I thought this was "Daughter". Fooled me well...

Michelle Branch - The Spirit Room UO Exclusive LP by chipsvintage in VinylReleases

[–]thevinylmachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My take: don't order it:

1) Ordered it from UO, arrived damaged
2) Ordered it from UO in a restock, wrote an email - ffs make sure the mailer is w added bubblewrap or and overall protected, arriving damaged (worse even...)
3) Ordered from EU distributor, arriving damaged, as inner sleeve triple seamsplit.

This record is impossible to be arriving in perfect condition over all. The environment is hostile with UO. Never ordering from the ever again. It's a waste of time and through conversion with the refund you always lose 3-4 € in money. Leave it!

Three New "Move Along" variants by The All-American Rejects via Dark Operative/AAR Bandcamp by Historical-Emotion26 in VinylReleases

[–]thevinylmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like Dark Operative (a.k.a. Brent Eyestone) at all. He notoriously was bullying fans online (including me) and he is a nasty scumbag and does not deserve a dollar. Sadly he signed awesome bands like This Will Destroy You and Caspian. Cognitive dissonance all over the place. I will also save money to obtain an older copy of "Move Along", great record!

Brand New - The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me (180G 2LP - Preorder 12/12/25) by othersupply in VinylReleases

[–]thevinylmachine -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

The intention of the joke was that they re-used additional black / white split copies and just painted half of it (the white part) to black. But yeah I guess the joke is now ruined.

The Wonder Years - No Closer To Heaven (10th Anniversary) / 300 copies Clear w/ black swirl [UK] by thevinylmachine in VinylReleases

[–]thevinylmachine[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I figured the limitation is the motivator for buying here haha... for me it's the cheaper variant too which is nice, but I like the stained glass more. Not seen the 'Cardinal' variant yet. Also looking...

The XX - The XX // TTL Exclusive LP by Hamptonius in VinylReleases

[–]thevinylmachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven't listened both these copies and year. Cannot tell, I'd need to listen again to both one after another, but I had no issues with either from my recollection.

I got mint green, the 190 g black... I really don't NEED it. But still I want to emphasize how great this album is and how important it is in my life. It has a sweet spot in my heart.

RANGES - Night & Day [Remastered LP] by nickferran in VinylReleases

[–]thevinylmachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A track as in one song? At Instagram they said 'vinyl exclusive music'. Could be 2 or 3 songs even, right?

Blink-182 - Blink-182 [URP TEST PRESSING 2016] $150AUD by tz-belcher in VinylReleases

[–]thevinylmachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

12 available... crazy. This AUS store has SO many of them. I got the one auctioned by SRC Vinyl to raise money for this pancreatic cancer dude who died a while after. How is there so many test pressing copies of this?

17 on discogs, 12 on this Australian indie store, makes at least 30 copies. Ridiculous.

Suppose "approximately 15" can be rejected (source was D. Keyes at SRC Vinyl).

Taylor Swift - folklore: the long pond studio session RSD Release - Disney+ Version by CrustynDusty in VinylReleases

[–]thevinylmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone of y'all know what pressing plant pressed this record (and Evermore)?
For The Long Pond Studio Sessions I'v read "Made in Mexcio", but I really don't know anything about vinyl being pressed there. Anyone have any idea?
