Ivy-Apartment-Life-Exclusive-Color-Vinyl-LP-2582700_1024x1024.jpg


This is a first ever pressing, and per SPIN, there is only one other version: The group is offering the 1997 project on vinyl for the first time March 3 through Bar/None in a white edition via that label and a blue version through Newbury Comics.

That was $35 I wasn't expecting to spend this morning but couldn't risk missing out on this. One of my favorite albums of the 90's.
 
I love this album enough to pay Newbury prices for it.
Yeah, I found a listing on Merchbar for the White Vinyl pre-order for $19.99 with $3.99 shipping
I don't usually purchase from Merchbar so I will wait and see if there are other options but that price is much more agreeable than the $40+ $36.38 for the same record in blue from Newbury.

There is a listing on Amazon too but it’s marked as “Currently Unavailable”. I imagine it will go live here shortly.

That was my bad in making assumptions on Newbury pricing. I assumed it was around $30 with another $10 in shipping and taxes.

Fixed it.

I know this is probably just me in my own head but I feel white pressings sound the worst of the colored pressings - I would still go white if that was only available but I'm fine paying an extra $10 from Newbury for the blue.

I wish they went with this cover, though

Ballboy's "Club Anthems 2001" is being reissued



worth it for the wonderful "I hate Scotland". if you're not familiar with ballboy, they have a real morrisseyian knack for song titles ("I Don't Have Time To Stand Here With You Fighting About The Size of My Dick", "all the records on the radio are shite",


View attachment 164266

I was obsessed with the first few Ballboy EPs at the time - bridged the period of finishing school/starting university in Edinburgh. Think I only saw them live once at the time, but did see them again in 2015 when they mentioned having been working on a new LP that’s yet to see the light of day.

Edit: they also have a song called “You Can’t Spend Your Whole Life Hanging Round With Arseholes”, which is sage advice.
