Pick ups


1. Moving Mountains- "Waves"-Triple Crown Records-White/???
2. Quicksand- "Slip"- Shop Radio Cast-Green/Yellow Swirl 180 Gram/500- 2nd press
3. Hot Rod Circuit- If Its Cool With You,Its Cool With Me- Big Wheel Recreation- Clear Green/???
4. Elliott- If They Do 7"- Initial Records- White/400
5. Elliott- Will You 7"- Revelation Records- Clear Pink/219

Pretty pleased with all these pick ups! HRC is an awesome nostalgic release for me. One of the first CDs I learned how to drum to when I was 16. Haven't spun it much in a long time but now that I own it on vinyl it is sure to get more play.

For those who may not be aware, Shop Radio Cast/Dine Alone Records took it upon themselves to RE-release Quicksands "Slip" on vynil. Not so bizarre timing considering the reunion shows recently. Single LP, gatefold jacket. First press from SRC is already sold out(2 colors first press) and I am not sure about Dine Alone(Black vinyl only). Dont worry though, a second press is already due soon from SRC. So get over there if you have not yet.

Moving Mountains is a release I decided too late that I would like to own it on vynil, so I missed it! One of the "new" bands out there that I acutally like(not to mention its a Casket Lottery LP title). Very little info on this release. Triple Crown releases tend to be super vague. After looking and looking for a version priced right, I now have it!

Words cannot express how stoked I am to FINALLY have these Elliott 7" inches. Its been a long wait and search. After losing a couple along away due to a price tag I couldnt break myself to pay 2 of the 3 I need to polish off the Elliott collection are now in my possession. Very fair price for "if they do" from a nice dude in VA who was selling some excellent stuff who said "I'll probably regret it later" and I won "will you" from a euro who titled the auction wrong, Needless to say that was a total steal, I actually felt a little bad.

Anyone coming across this, if you have Elliotts "in transit" 7" on either white or clear, contact me, somehow.

Frontier(s)



My recent score was from a band called Frontier(s). A band you may not have heard of but a band who is fronted by former Elliott singer Chris Higdon. Naturally being a large Elliott fan and with my recent re-introduction to collecting records again I had to pick up these releases to fill out my Elliott collection.

I did not have a record player upon the release of these records so sadly I thought I missed out when I started searching around to try to find some copies on ebay. Until I randomly checked No Sleep Records webstore and saw that they actually had color copies left. Which I swore they sold out of a while ago. Not only that but they were in the sale section. Heres the thing, you could have either purchased the 2 separately for a total of $12 or If you pay attention closely you will see when you add an item(either the 7" first or the LP) there is a package deal available for those 2 releases specifically. So long story short, I got the Frontier(s) 7" The Plains & their full length "There Will be No Miracles Here" for a total of $7!

Im a happy camper.
