Pick ups



Death Cab For Cutie- "Transatlanticism"- Grand Hotel Van Cleef- 180g black/???
Pedro the Lion- "Control"- Jade Tree- Re-master/Re-press- Black/???
Pedro the Lion- "Achilles Heel"- Jade Tree- Re-master/Re-press- Black/???
The Casket Lottery/Touché Amorè 7"- No Sleep Records- transparent pink/500

For those who may not know, Jade Tree reissued every Pedro The Lion LP release in late October/November. If you didn't ever feel like paying for the originals, they are now avaible again. Black vinyl remastered by TW Walsh. You can probably find them anywhere!

Death Cabs "Transatlanticism" has been OOP for a long while now, supposedly. While both the original Sonic Boom version and German version on Grand Hotel Van Cleef usually go for a bit of money someone must have hit a dead stock somewhere. Out of the "10 available" I ended up picking this up for still a little more than I would have liked to spend on it BUT a few dollars more than some double LPs come out for now a days depending on the label but still a very fair price compaired to what it could or would go for.

Not so big on 7" records but the Casket Lottery/Touche Amore split is a collection completer. Its packaging is pretty unique(and slightly annoying, ha). Dont think I have come across any origami-esque layouts before. I feel like I should get it unfolded and instead of lyrics and credits it should say "do you like me? YES/NO". Overall the record came out great!
