You know...I don't remember ever paying duties on Dr Octagon, and that was also FedEx.Looks like they use FedEx to ship to Canada which means duties and fees on top of the already exorbitant price for an international subscription
This record better be great!
Oh really?! I haven’t received a shipment from outside of Canada via FedEx without paying duties in a looooong time.

IVC PERK: EARLY ACCESS TO SHOP ELLIOT SMITH’s “FIGURE 8” 3LP DELUXE
Early access for IVC subscribers!
Own Elliott Smith’s exquisite, technicolor final album, Figure 8, expanded to include every b-side and previously released solo acoustic and alternate version in celebration1 of its 25th anniversary.
This is the first-ever vinyl pressing of the previously digital-only deluxe edition available exclusively via Interscope.com on a limited edition colorway.
Following the breakout success of XO, Elliott Smith again teamed up with producers Rob Schnapf and Tom Rothrock for his technicolor follow up, Figure 8, released April 18, 2000 on DreamWorks. The album was recorded throughout 1998-2000 at several studios including Sunset Sound and Capitol Studios in Los Angeles and Smith’s musical temple, Abbey Road Studios in London, where he used the piano that The Beatles used to record “Fool on The Hill.” Unlike XO’s major shift from the albums that came before it, Figure 8 continued Smith’s penchant for ambitious arrangements but took them into even bigger, bolder, and sometimes weirder territory.
Revisiting one of Elliott Smith’s most accomplished albums, Figure 8’s deluxe edition allows for a deeper dive into his creative process with the addition of 7 rare tracks, serving as a reminder of Smith’s remarkable talent and the incredible body of work he created in a life that was cut far too short at the age of 34 in 2003.
The bonus tracks include the titular, faithful cover of the “School House Rock” classic, written by Bob Dorough, that gave the album its name but was only released as a B-side on the UK “Son Of Sam” single along with the rollicking gem “A Living Will.”
Three songs from the rare French promo 3 Titres Inedits are included: the Beatlesy “I Can't Answer You Anymore,” “Pretty Mary K (Alternate Version)” and “Happiness (Acoustic).” An acoustic version of “Son Of Sam” is also featured along with Smith's gorgeous cover of The Beatles’ “Because,” which was featured in the film “American Beauty” and on its soundtrack and included on the Japanese edition of Figure 8.

Not tio bad of a price for a 3 LP either. Those bonus tracks are ones I've been wanting so it was an easy pickup for me.
Not sure if you noticed but Levi is doing the next month's cut too. Not an album I'm really excited for, but it's nice that the club evolving in a better direction still.
