This one, the AAA CB. Sounds excellent!

I picked it up at Barnes and Noble. They have some on their site, assuming it's this version. Not sure who else may have it.
Stereolab. Some great outtakes/special cuts on this collection of tracks.

Sharon Van Etten - Epic Ten

Jubilee is a favorite (as well as many others') of this year, and the covers from Epic are enjoyable. Flattened the described warps in the VinylFlat without any issues or loss of sound quality. Thanks again to @Ghost for offering these up and granting my PIF claim requests.
Current year pickups:
Danielle Durack - No Place
Billie Eilish - Happier Than Ever
L'Rain - Fatigue
Caroline Polachek - Standing at the Gate: Remix Collection
Spellling - The Turning Wheel
Jessie Ware - What's Your Pleasure? (The Platinum Pleasure Edition)

Really enjoying Danielle's album from this year, a very unassuming and harmless singer/songwriter effort. Perfect for lazy summer days, which I'm getting a very steady case of in the past month. Came with a cute letter written by Danielle enclosed in the mailer.
Enjoyed the new Billie Eilish album enough to warrant getting a copy at one of the local Target locations.
Fatigue is an album that came seemingly out of nowhere; a densely packed psychedelic-soul/experimental adventure with 14 songs totaling at just under half an hour, with six of these being interludes of negligible length. Having listened to this album five times in full, I still am left reflecting...amazed at the experience that this record takes me on.
Nice set of remixes from Pang, with a dazzling 10min remix of "The Gate" and fun cover of The Corrs's "Breathless."
Got the new 10.
Was originally going to pass on the deluxe edition of my AotY from last year, but quickly realized that would be silly of me once I heard two of the singles that would be present. Great packaging with mirrorboard gatefold jacket and thicker picture sleeves.
Miscellaneous pickups:
Gang of Four - Entertainment!
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - 'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!
Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
Joanna Newsom - Ys
Pavement - Slanted and Enchanted
Portishead - Third

Continuing with my recent interest post-punk by running through some milestones in the subgenre. Gang of Four and Joy Division are the relevant adds for this photo.
Added the last GY!BE record that I've found necessary.
Happy about the Joanna Newsom represses, Ys only cost $23 new at Mississippi Records!
I think Pavement finally clicked. I found Slanted and Enchanted much more enjoyable this year. Not sure why it took this long.
Got the last Portishead studio album, although the pressing is kinda bad. Fairly noisy, sadly.
Prince - Dirty Mind
Slint - Spiderland
Slowdive - Souvlaki
Slowdive - Morningrise EP
Slowdive - Outside Your Room EP
Slowdive - 5 EP

Didn't anticipate Dirty Mind being the first Prince record I would own, but I liked this one far more than I remembered.
Added Spiderland to the post-punk library. Such a great value for $24; tip-on jacket, documentary DVD, booklet, and RTI-pressed vinyl.
All of the Slowdive was bought in one order at DeepDiscount. The EPs were cheapies in the Blowout Bin, and Souvlaki was a decent price combined with the 15% discount available...much cheaper than the majority of locals were pricing it at.

Another classic post-punk record to add to the library with Deceit. Absolutely mind-crushing music...black midi, eat your heart out.
Shame, but its a really nice set regardless. You could still ask Bas if he can send a sleeve with your next order. Worth trying at least.
Thanks for the write-ups! I hadn't heard of Danielle Durack, but I've checked out a few of her songs and she reminds me a lot of Julien Baker. I also know nothing about L'Rain - Fatigue, but you sure as hell make it sound like it's worth a listen!July Acquisitions

I had never heard "When You Were Mine" at all prior to listening and it is an undeniable jam.
It's such a trip, I really can't describe it accurately. It is a sterling display of a musical Long Island ice tea crossbreed of genres.
I had thought about that. Might shoot him an email later.
I saw them support Sabbath on the 13 tour ,,very impressed ...one of the few support bands I’ve seen that I’ve then gone on to buy all the records afterwards ....the other was Bell X1
