Pre-Order Thread

[bdm105]

@Twentytwo is the driving force behind this thread and is very generous with his time and efforts. The rest of us look at it as a badge of honor if we get a release posted here before he does.

It started in the old VMP forum. Originally I think it was a way to keep up with VMP’s shop, then it morphed into what you might see on the r/VinylReleases, which is basically everyone posting preorders from their favorite label or other popular subscription services.

It’s certainly humbling having never heard of some bands, but makes you realize just how much music is being made or has been made. 99% of it I’ll never own on physical and probably 75% of it I’ll never actually hear.

With that said, there are some record store accounts here, as well as those that run distribution websites (@Ethos99), but I don’t think they necessarily contribute to this thread in particular.

And 5+ years ago there would be 1 variant or standard presses were limited so if you missed out you might have missed out for good without big secondary prices. Now we have variants on variants

Absolutely, with AIC's actual dead fly variant of Jar of Flies being the most absurd I know of to date.

They should have taken all that marketing capital and repressed 3 leg on vinyl instead. But, I'm just one person with an opinion.

No Cherry Tree Variant that I see but there is this.

I went with this version of the album. I normally don't care about signed things but I have a signed EL VY poster on my wall and depending on what the signed x-ray looks like I might want to hang that up somewhere too.

To the best of my knowledge he’s mainly just a music lover that has a very busy email in box.

I work in healthcare, the preorder thread is the job I actually enjoy. Yes, I am on a ton of mailing lists. I also follow a ton of people on Instagram so that certainly helps. I'd like to think am pretty well versed in some genres although I don't pretend to know about Jazz and stuff like Noble Records releases. I do certain things in life to help me cope with life and this is one of those things. I also enjoy turning people onto new music and love to see other people's favorites as well. Some of my favorite artists are ones that were recommended to me by people. This is also a really cool board with something for everyone. You can talk about almost anything on this board if so inclined.

For those into Pinback, the other half of the group (Zach Smith) started his own label, Go Home Records and he has released some vault items from his solo project, Systems Officer as well as other goodies like an original Pinback EP from 2004.

Highly recommend checking out his Systems Officer EP and his full lengths Underslept (2009, these are still original pressings) and In Our Code (released last year after a 15 year hiatus).

You'll be able to easily pick up which areas Zach influences Pinback and vice-versa.
