Its back to April next year. Im sure its going to further delay pressing plants since its likely that labels had to put orders in already to get them on time for April. Saw Sargent House tweet out they put an order in for a re press last week and got told it wouldnt be ready til Feb 2022. This bubble has to burst eventually cause major labels should just invest in their own pressing plants and stop cutting out the indies from doing their thing. CD’s are going to return again to become the new vinyl which is laughable.
Snuck up on me, too. I only caught notice of it a few days before because I saw various bands or labels posting about one of their releases and had to go to the list to see what I had originally wanted.
Got my Allmans, CSNY, and John Prine live box set which were the priorities but I also overdid it again. Picked up the Richard Pryor picture disc, the St. Vincent 7" (awesome cover of Piggy), and a few other items that I really don't need.

I forgot about the St. Vincent single. Doesn’t it have a Metallica cover, too? I love those two covers.

Today, I’m starting to make my way through the first 13 boxes. So far just great 60’s Country + Western and Southern Soul music (‘ala anything with a Stax/Hi/Fortune label on it). I spent $700 for 1,000 albums and damn near making my money back after the first box. Solid investment, imo. I’ll post gems as I come across them.
picked up a couple big boi speakers this past weekend. several months ago i moved the JBL LSR305s to my desk. they've been great there but needed something for the vinyl setup. considered just buying the current version of the LSR305, the 305PMK2, but opted to get their larger brother, the 308PMK2. same sound signature i love but a bigger woofer means more bass. very happy with the purchase.
the JBL LSR or PMK2 series of speakers is just unbeatable for the price, IMO. plus they are powered so you don't even need an amp, just a volume control.

My third man vualt already renewed even though nothing was announced yet. Apparently a delay (maybe securing some rights or something as people speculated it not being a third man artist) and I'm glad I rolled the dice on this and got an artist I dig

More details on this:
Third Man Records is excited to announce Vault Package #49: Bob Dylan - Springtime In New York: The Bootleg Series, Vol. 16 (1980-1985). In conjunction with Sony/Legacy, Third Man will release this 4xLP collection (pressed at Third Man Pressing in Detroit) full of previously-unreleased outtakes, mixes and more, complete with a 16-page booklet of liner notes and track notations and four uniquely-colored LPs in their own individual LP sleeves, all housed together in an impressive custom slipcase. The songs on the Third Man Vault will be the ONLY vinyl release of those 42 songs. There is NO material overlap between the 2xLP version from Sony/Legacy and the 4xLP release from Third Man. Sign up is open now through July 31 at midnight CST.
In the early 1980s, while the music industry was grappling with the arrival of new trends and technology, from MTV to compact discs to digital recording, Bob Dylan was writing and recording new songs for a new decade, creating an essential new chapter in his studio catalog. The latest in Columbia/Legacy’s highly acclaimed Bob Dylan Bootleg Series revisits an often-forgotten, rich vein in Dylan’s vast and complex catalog, shining fresh light on the provocative new musical directions Dylan was taking as a songwriter and a recording artist from 1980 through 1985. Bob Dylan - Springtime In New York (1980-1985) celebrates the rich creative period surrounding Dylan’s albums Shot Of Love, Infidels, and Empire Burlesque with previously unreleased outtakes, alternate takes, rehearsal recordings, live performances and more.
Third Man Records, in conjunction with Sony/Legacy, is humbled to release a limited edition 4LP vinyl collection of Bob Dylan - Springtime In New York: The Bootleg Series Vol. 16 (1980-1985) as their 49th Vault package. Pressed on gold, violet, orange and purple discs at the state-of-the-art Third Man Pressing facility in Detroit, the set includes a 16-page booklet of liner notes and track notations, as well as individual LP sleeves all housed together in an impressive slipcase.
Bob Dylan - Springtime In New York: The Bootleg Series Vol. 16 (1980-1985) is also available in a deluxe 5xCD boxset as well as 2xCD and 2xLP 12” vinyl highlight packages. The songs on the Third Man Vault will be the ONLY vinyl release of those 42 songs. There is NO material overlap between the 2xLP version from Sony/Legacy and the 4xLP release from Third Man.
LP One of Bob Dylan - Springtime In New York: The Bootleg Series Vol. 16 (1980-1985) was recorded in 1980 and 1981 and finds Dylan rehearsing a variety of his own catalog compositions (“Señor (Tales of Yankee Power)”), rearranging some traditional folk tunes (“Jesus Met the Woman at the Well,” “Mary of the Wild Moor”) and revving up a selection of surprising covers (“Mystery Train” featuring Ringo Starr, “Fever,” “Abraham, Martin and John”) with a group of musicians including Frank Fred Tackett (guitar), David Mansfield (mandolin), Willie Smith (keyboards), Tim Drummond (bass), Jim Keltner (drums) and background vocals by Clydie King, Carolyn Dennis, Gwen Evans, and Regina McCrary.
LP Two of Bob Dylan - Springtime In New York (1980-1985) is devoted to outtakes and alternate takes of recordings, produced by Chuck Plotkin for Shot of Love, as well as material Bob Dylan wrote for Infidels, performed by the all-star band assembled for the album, produced by Bob Dylan and Mark Knopfler, which featured Knopfler (guitar), Mick Taylor (guitar), Alan Clark (keyboards), Robbie Shakespeare (bass) and Sly Dunbar (drums).
LP Four of the album includes live tracks (“Enough Is Enough” from Slane Castle, Ireland, and “License to Kill” from Late Night with David Letterman, March 22, 1984) alongside alternate takes and outtakes from the Empire Burlesque sessions, produced by Bob Dylan, including the premiere of the new song “Straight A’s in Love.”
According to the Producer’s Note in the album: “The alternate takes selected for this set are different than the ones released on previous volumes of The Bootleg Series. They are included here to illustrate the musical journey Bob Dylan undertook during these years.”
In his liner notes for Bob Dylan - Springtime In New York, Damien Love writes, “And that’s the real story of this gloriously untrammeled collection. The songs. The songs stripped free of trappings, tampering, passing tastes, and judgements. The songs broken down to the sound of people really doing this, right now, acting on instinct. The songs rough and rowdy, bruised and tender, joking and crying, nagging and striving and yearning. The songs were always there, and here they are still, keeping pace with us.”
Fans have only until July 31st to subscribe to Third Man Records Vault, where they will automatically receive this package. Visit thirdmanstore.com/products/vault-subscription to sign up.

The normal cover is so cool, it’s an absolute mystery to me why he wouldn’t use it for the vinyl. Unless the art was a late change and they had to get their vinyl order in early

it does have a sort of Bauhaus/smiths feel which is kind of cool I guess, but yeah seeing the cd and tape it's just like why though?

My partner has been getting really into improving our sound system over the past few months, and I have been glad to been on the benefit side of things without having to do much of the research/work. But, he recently upgraded the cartridge on our Audio Technica turntable with a Nagaoka MP 110 cartridge. I was skeptical that a new needle was going to make that big of a difference but the quality is incredibly better than what the standard cartridge provides. He also bought a pair of HiFiMan HE-X4 headphones (a collaboration with Drop) and they are so badass. Insanely comfortable, could wear for hours. Couple all of this with our brand new super comfy couch, we have built quite a lovely vinyl listening vault in our basement.

Glad y'all are enjoying the new cart! As you said they absolutely make a difference, cartridges are the most delicate and sensitive part of the vinyl signal chain. I've been using an ortofon 2m black for several years and when it goes I'll pick up another one.
In order of importance I'd say it's something like speakers > room > cartridge > table > phono pre > speaker amp > cables. With a big dropoff in importance after table, and when it comes to cables as long as it isn't faulty you'll notice zero difference in sound.
The nice thing about headphones is they take "room" out of the equation, which is often the thing that is trickiest to fix, or impossible to fix, or not visually pleasing to fix (sound treatments all over your room).
I'm a recovering audiophile and spent a long time immersed in that scene (I went to conventions and made friends and stuff like that). There is a tremendous amount of magical thinking in that world so don't get sucked into the undertow of bullshit.

But yeah a good cart can make a big difference.
I'll have to let him know about your suggested "order of importance". Maybe he already knows that, maybe he doesn't. Thanks!

So the past couple of months I’ve officially joined the world of vinyl. I decided to catalog my dad’s old vinyl collection (201 LPs) on Discogs then did my small collection which has grown considerably the past several weeks. This is an expensive hobby and shipping to AK can suck sometimes but fuck me is it addicting lol.
Anyways, here’s a snapshot of my more favorite additions.
(Left to right, top to bottom)
The Bloody Beetroots - Romborama Sparkle Division - To Feel Embraced Moses Boyd - Dark Matter Gulch - Impenetrable Cerebral Fortress Fred again.. - Actual Life (April 14 - December 17 2020) Spellling - The Turning Wheel
Did you snag that with the wrap around sleeve or just the color? I have the orange variant but the sleeve is a different color than the cover and sealed. It’s pretty sweet as all those Sacred Bones club issues are.
Welcome aboard. That’s a great start to a collection. Prepare to loose any savings you’ve managed to accumulate.

Yeah I got the one with the white sleeve and wax seal, I just didn't include it in the pic since it open from the top and bottom so the color vinyl would've slip out from another side than the others. The Sacred Bones club issue looked super cool too with the black and white marble but I wasn't about to drop more money just to join the club and get that.
And thanks! It's only part of my collection, started with 10 and now up to 79 Getting phone notifications for every new post on /r/VinylReleases is painful for my wallet.
Yeah, I just learned of that one. My record Store posted this recently when they got this and some other unique records for sale:
Got some really cool restocks from our friends at @enjoytheriderecords Including the super rare: Ren & Stimpy kittie litter filled lp, 28 days blood filled, teenage mutant ninja turtle ooze filled and hey Arnold coke filled LPs!
holy shit this half price books by me has Panteras I am the Night and Bathorys Hammerheart
together a cool 400 so I shan't be getting either but man might be the coolest things I've seen in a HPB ever
Not Houston, but during lockdown I found a decent copy of AMM/MVE (weirdo electronica from the Sixties) split from the Deton-ish HPB. So stoked to track that down. A few months later, I scored a copy of a Frank Wright jazz album I’d been searching for at the same place. I put it on my list of places to watch for.
If that Hammerheart is NM, I’d be selling some plasma if I were you.
