Me too, I just got my new killer T shirt in the mail.

For those not into Hardcore, this shirt references some classic Raymond Pettibon album art…

Where did you get the shirt from? Though it goes against my rule of black tshirts only, this one is great

Etsy. Though, maybe Fagen and/or Greg Ginn weren’t fans, as they seem to have taken down the listing from their shop unfortunately.

Funny the 2nd one looks like a crappy bootleg of the first one.

It probably is, about 90% of everything on Etsy is just knock offs of other people work.

Think a bunch of other Prestige APs have been restocked. I know some of these were already in stock, but back 23 titles are now in stock.

I like this lineup. Some winners in there.
Bluesey Burrell is great.

I think you are being conservative at 90%.

Yeah, I doubt the shop I purchased it from came up with that design either. Looking over the other shirts they are offering up, it looks like they are reprinting a lot of old concert T-shirts.

looks like Katy lied....

AS has cancelled preorders for the UHQR apparently. The link wasn't supposed to go live and they aren't releasing it/putting it up for order until all the copies are pressed apparently.

These AS Blue Notes appear to be old stock. Still serialized with the old inserts and a post card to win a free pressing.

It said FREE on the post card!!
Considering the inflation market, $50 2009 compared to $55 now is not shabby.

thought that the APs were cheaper back then but don't really remember! if it says $50 on those inserts then that's cool. chad did raise the price on a bunch as they got close to selling out. I think Midnight Blue and Somethin Else went up to $100 or maybe more for the last few copies on AS.

This practice just makes me so angry!

Acoustic Sounds once had a clearance sale on a lot of those Blue Note AP titles. 50% off both the vinyl and SACDs. There's still a banner online about it. I only got 3 at the time and hated myself for not grabbing the rest.

I think the 2x45s were $50 but singles like the Prestige series were $30 iirc.

Johnny Griffin sounds outstanding.
Full blown sound.
SH/KG did well on this series.

Who knows. They may have required a special small run to balance out the jackets vs vinyl stock. There's always more to the story, but Chad could've needed a pizza party too. (Joke from a recent YT interview)

Damn some 5 seconds of stitching on Dizzy Reece Once In A While!
Shows up on the black light while watching it spin too.

Called AS CS#; new copy of the 1 LP is shipping out.
No questions asked.
