It says awaiting repress, so yes? Apparently in stock at Speakers Corner.Shipping will be steep though. Did you check Discogs if some retailers have it?

I still haven’t gotten my records from JPC and they were shipped 6 weeks ago. I know there are lots of shipping issues but just a word of warning...

Listen to Quietly Blowing It by Hiss Golden Messenger.

For my money, Hiss is one of the best acts going.

Well-timed. I was just looking into picking up one of Hiss Golden Messenger's older albums. Would you recommend Terms of Surrender or Bad Debt as an intro album?

Did you get tracking for those? I always get tracking links from jpc. But DHL is very hit and miss shipping from Germany in the moment.

I did and all it says is:

The shipment is transported to the destination country / destination area and handed over to the delivery organization there. and that was on January 27th...

Neither, actually. Bad Debt is pretty lo-fi compared to later work, and Terms is good, but not (IMO) the catchiest one. My rec to start is Lateness of Dancers. If you like that one, I think you’ll find something to appreciate going forward or back from there. The albums before it are a little more esoteric; the ones after come with the signing to Merge and you can hear it in the production value.

edit: Poor Moon —> Haw —> Lateness of Dancers —> Heart Like a Levee is a phenomenal run. Hallelujah Anyhow and Terms of Surrender are both good, too, but tbh I haven’t spent as much time with them because I always return to those 4.

Yeah, one of if not my favorite band these days. I'll agree lateness is a little more catchy, but Poor Moon is always my first choice. Saw him on that tour solo, and was just stunned at how great he was. You're not going to go wrong with anything really.

Would like to buy the new record from their store, but 11.95 shipping for a record and a shirt vs free shipping from the Merge store I think I know my choice.

Ordered, thanks for the tip! I think this has been available since at least as far back as Nov 30 per this tweet, so I am pleased I didn't miss out.

That just means it’s left Germany. There wouldn’t be another update until usps say they have it.

I’d be getting onto jpc at this stage to query as there has been no status update for 5 weeks. There are huge delays at the moment with international post in europe.

That means USPS has had possession since then and they haven't yet loaded it on the next available horse to begin the delivery joyrney. Nothing more JPC or DHL can do about it at this point. They did their job.
