Thank you, that makes a ton of sense. The “New West” moniker made me assume that they were somewhere west of the Mississippi.Yes it is owned by George Fontaine, Sr and Jr. and they live in Athens as far as I know.

Did you see the preorder for the repress? I chose to do that instead. I figured that it is going to be the same thing. I might be mistaken though and that it the repress will be under the Skylar Spence name instead of Saint Pepsi but I'm not sure...
Just so folks know, you can also just buy Gyrate and Chomp separately if you want to not get the boxset.View attachment 63127

Ahh nooo. Ah well I did preorder the new one. But I checked my watch at 1220 and dropped what I was doing to find the site. Unfortunately it was too late
Sweet, I was able to grab one of the originals....I think. I hopped on the page right when the sale started, but not sure if I’m getting the Saint Pepsi or Skylar Spence version...
If you got the 300 copy reissue then i think it's Saint Pepsi. I hope so at least. I had a chance to purchase that but I chose the new preorder repress thinking that it would be a complete reissue of the original version with the cover art and such. I didn't know that rights issues caused this to not happen.
I went to buy at 11 and the main copies weren't for sale, so I had to get whatever they classified as a "preorder" to avoid missing out entirely. I'm sure those are the Skylar ones
Idk. I was out walking the dog when I ordered it. I had the page loaded in my phone and kept refreshing the page until it was available. I didn’t realize the repress was a thing, so I wasn’t checking. I added the only option available (there was only the one) to my cart (it let me). I clicked checkout, and at first it said it wasn’t available (literally 15 seconds after it went live), but I kept pressing checkout until it let me. I emailed them to see for sure, but my order says “Skylar Spence”, and not “Saint Pepsi”.
So it’s 25 years since war child released their famous compilation Help! recorded in a day by the biggest names then to benefit the charity. It’s getting a limited vinyl press (2020 copies) and will be out on 9/9. Great charity and it was a great little album, I’ve got mine ordered!

I got mine from Carpark. They had both options for sale.

Visually. They look super bland compared to the gorgeous mock ups.

Fuck. I want this but I don’t know if I need all that extra stuff for almost $40. I think I’ll just stick to digital for now.For those of us that musically came of age in the 80s might be interested in this new compilation from Captured Tracks from the American Indie Underground.
