Pick ups

Pedro the lion- "Its Hard To Find A Friend"- Jade Tree- Black/??? (2012 reissue/Re-master)
Tigers Jaw- "Self Titled"- Run For Cover Records- starburst/200

Finally got in the Pedro LP. After a mix up at the local shop and havnig re-order it finally arrives! Hence why it wasnt posted with Achilles and Control way back in November.

Ended up picking up the new Menzingers LP at the show a week or so ago. I've been hearing the name and i figured id check them out since they were coming to town with Hot Water Music. Checked it out, didnt dig it. Saw them at the show and really liked it! Turns out what I checked out was their latest acoustic demo LP that was just pressed to vinyl(these demos came as a cassette in a bundle if your ordered the new LP from Epitaph). So low and behold I wasnt surprised that I didnt enjoy it at first, who ever likes acoustic demos?

VERY pleased with Piebald and finally getting the Tigers Jaw LP for a good price.

Pick ups

3. Jimmy Eat World- Bleed American- Universal UK- Black/??? Back to Black Version (Technical 6th press?)

New things that came in! Very vague on all of it, heres the run down!

After trying for many months I just could not win a color copy of Motion City "Commit this to Memory" for the price I was willing to pay, So I gave up after I saw black vinyl copies starting to show up on Ebay as "Tour Edition". Being a smart person I went to Epitaphs webstore and there it was. SO JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, BLACK COPIES ON EBAY ARE NOT TOUR EDITION. It sucks seeing people pay $30+ for something that is simply just a repressing on black vinyl that costs $10 from a webstore. I am not sure how to title it since its only my assumption that it is 2nd press on black vinyl. Of course they're selling it on tour, Its a piece of merchandise to be sold! So please if you are reading this, don't be fooled!

Motion Citys "Even if it kills me" is another tough grab that I figured out while looking for "commit this to memory". This LP is also my assumption that it is a 2nd press that will simply never be acknowledged as such. To my knowledge the first pressing of this LP was limited to 1000 and was in a gatefold sleeve sold for around 19.99. This is also in the Epitaph store for only $12 and is in a single LP sleeve. Looking for information quickly just now, I cannot find concrete proof that the first press was actually in a gatefold. I do know that this release was sold out for a minute at one time. Pressing info will most likely just keep climbing in numbers im sure. If theres a market, It will stay in print.

Jimmy Eat Worlds "Bleed American" has recently just been repressed yet again by Universal UK as a single LP(FINALLY!) as a part of a series called BACK TO BLACK. I am so pleased to finally get to own this album on vinyl. I could never see myself paying the money for a first or second press copy and the 3xLP version has never apealed to me considering the A-B side is the ONLY thing that I would listen to out of the 3 LPs. This is an Import release and I was lucky enough to promptly order mine from Shop Radio Cast. I am not sure how to aquire a copy if they are sold out. Good Luck!
