Not sure if anyone else has been having a difficult time deciding which variant of IDLES Crawler to pick up, but I've been digging around and got the following reply from Partisan this morning:

All things being equal, it sounds as though the VMP (or standard black) variant may be the way to go. That said, I haven't heard much - good or bad - about Takt or the Vinyl Factory (both in the UK). Can anyone shed some light?
Vinyl Factory is very good. It's the old EMI plant in Hayes. They do quite a lot of high-end limited runs on their own label. The recent reissue of Whipping Boy's 'Heartworm' was pressed there and is great.

Is Takt a new plant?

They sound it. Sounds like a UK owned venture but with some production in Poland. It’s very vague on the website as to exactly where the pressing plant is.

From what I could find, Takt has long produced cassette tapes and CDs, and got into the vinyl pressing business around 2016-17. Offices/facilities in Austria, Poland & UK, and the UK sister plant is Packaged Sounds. Reviews seem mixed, inconclusive.

That said, good to know about Vinyl Factory, thanks for the insight.

ANXIOUS - Little Green House LP *Preorder*

ANXIOUS​


 
Not sure how many are familiar, but The Delines (a country-soul outfit featuring Willy Vlautin of Richmond Fontaine and Amy Boone of The Damnations) have a new LP on the way. It will be announced on Friday, when the first single "Little Earl" drops. You can pre-order a 7" of "Little Earl" b/w "Myrna and McCaughey" now - only 200 copies being sold in N. America. No way to listen to it until Friday - but if you like the Delines ,you know it's going to be good.

I'll post details on the LP pre-order on Friday - Willy and Amy are saying that this album was inspired by a shared love of Tony Joe White.
