Bandbox: an uncompensated review of an interesting new club

[max_stacks]

Was anyone else a little bummed out that the jacket color displayed on the site for Johnny Cash - With His Hot and Blue Guitar does not match what’s actually printed?

Such a minor gripe, 1st world problems, etc… Just thought the blue shading looked really nice.

I probably will grab that, but not yet...I imagine it will be around a while.

Also, is it typical that bandbox doesn't announce new exclusives?

Definitely too early to get it for my monthly selection. Too many in stock titles to focus on getting at this point.

They will always announce them but I’ve noticed they’ll usually put new exclusives on their website about a day before they announce the new exclusive. Thrice will probably get announced today or at the latest Monday.

Yeah, the overall coloring of the whole package (jacket and vinyl) turned out different from what was advertised.

That Thrice album doesn't seem to be widely available. There is a repress from Hopeless Record due at the end of December, but it's sold out.

The cheapest option for vinyl on Discogs is $50+. I think these are some solid exclusives...the wait time is just killer.

Have a feeling this one will go pretty quick. Thrice has a big following and you are right this a harder to find record. Bandbox just announced it via email.

I wish they'd reset my pick for October so I can lock something in soon.

Is it limited?

Is it limited?

Bandbox just posted on their socials it is limited to 500 copies.

Thanks. Just saw that. Hadn’t seen it initially

Same here! I was hoping to use my pick as well, but it’s still showing ALT-J

I think you can select a new album. My Alt-J order already went through and I was able to switch to Thrice.

My alt j shows up in my orders as unfulfilled. So I think it went through. Swapped October for thrice even though it was showing the alt j still, now it shows thrice as October choice

It will always show unfulfilled until it has been shipped,

Yeah, it's not fulfilled but it's showing on the orders page, unaffected by the October swap.

Newbury, Zia and Brooklyn Vegan all drop variants of the Thrice today as well although I think I like Bandbox's exclusive the best.

I like it the best too. Hate to use a selection so far in advance for it, but I'd be bummed if I missed this one.

 

[max_stacks]

Thrice out of stock already. Yikes.

Looks like the Thrice has some exclusives elsewhere...like this one that Brooklyn Vegan started offering today with a 3/31 street date...$30 tho
