Official CD/LP purchases thread

Well, 3 albums you have to buy as a box, $199 before shipping. Absurd.

[greghead]

Agreed.

[FEELS]

What is on these Nick Cave cd/dvd's, FEELS?Are the videos on youtube?

5.1 surround sound of the album/b-sides, music videos of the singles, and sometimes a short film about the album (I know Henry's Dream has one). So yeah the music videos are on YouTube, but not sure about the short films.

Where are you guys finding this?

This showed up at my doorstep today:

The Men - New Moon (deluxe edition)

The screen printed outer sleeve is pretty cool (#294/350), as is the embossed wax seal they used to keep it folded around the sleeve itself - it even came with a five song EP too!

This just made my morning -

On April 20, Modular Recordings will issue Cut Copy's 2004 debut album, Bright Like Neon Love, on vinyl for the very first time. The pressing will feature new artwork designed by frontman Dan Whitford and will only be available at participating record shops.

It would be way more awesome if they reissued In Ghost Colours. But that's still good news.

Also...

12":
Fort Romeau - SW9
Various Artists - Think and Change

CD:
Various Artists - Imaginational Anthem Vols. 1-5: Essential Guitar

So excited for the Think and Change and Imaginational Anthem comps.

Did they press the EP on vinyl? The regular edition came with a CD called Campfire Sessions or something like that.

Rewarded myself with some LPs:

Yo La Tengo - I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One
Yo La Tengo - Painful
Breathe Owl Breathe - Magic Central

[gam3g3ni3]

iTunes is streaming Justin Timberlakes new album "for a limited time"

Its pretty good.

No, it's just a CD (vinyl would have been cool though!); I thought it might have just been bundled with the deluxe version but it seems it came with all purchases.

[FEELS]

CD's:

David Bowie - The Next Day
Youth Lagoon - Wondrous Bughouse

It still may not have. I bought it at Permanent records, and it was outside the shrink wrap of the LP but inside their polyvinyl bag. Could be they received a few copies and put them with the album.

[bmack86]

William Tyler - Impossible Truth just arrived. Cannot wait to listen to it.

[wmgaretjax]

my decent into aktionist music recently leaves me with little to recommend here... but this one slipped through and somehow isn't sold out yet (despite it getting rave reviews from everyone who has picked it up)... only 100 copies, perfect early morning music:

For some reason I felt the need to spend some cash on At War With The Mystics. It sounds so good. And it's nice having the nice artwork in front of me. Fuck, I love this album!

[JelloPuddingChat]

Picked up/Ordered these LPs over the week

• 3/10 The Men - New Moon
• 3/10 Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Push The Sky Away
• 3/17 Pavement - Slanted & Enchanted
• 3/17 Iceage - You're Nothing

Also had mbv waiting on my porch. Sounded great but my copy was crimped and even torn on the top of the cover where the record goes in. Such bullshit.

Question

How can I find out whether a particular vinyl release comes with a digital download or CD? It's for a gift and I'd prefer not to have to download the mp3's myself for them, but it would be a nice album to own on vinyl.

[bmack86]

What album is it? You can probably look at the label site. If it's a band on a bigger label (Merge, Sub Pop, Matador, etc.) they will definitely have a code. Most smaller labels do as well, until you get to the smallest labels who probably don't have the resources to host the downloads or something, or just don't care about downloads.

[nosurprises12]

For those that missed it the last time it went up for sale: LCD Soundsystem - Yeah (Remaster) [PREORDER]

Went to Amoeba yesterday and they had 3 or 4 copies of this as well.

Also, most have a sticker right on the shrinkwrap stating as much, and the site you're purchasing from, whether it's the label itself or a retailer, will normally have it in the product description. it's not something anyone selling a record will try to hide, it's a huge selling point.

Uh, it's Seth MacFarlane's vocal jazz album Music Is Better Than Words. My dad and I enjoy Family Guy together and he likes Sinatra and all that stuff. It's on a major (Republic). I can't find any information on download codes or even label contact info. Oh well, I just decided it's not a big deal. I'll figure it out.
