mid-january arrivals

January's looking pretty solid as my pre-orders from November/December are ticking one nice and slowly.

See, there's been this big fuzz about the vinyl edition of Thrice - Beggars, because it is out on a variety of colors, and the only known fact is that the pressing is limited to 2000 copies. So far it has there's been detected 6+ colors. I got my white/clear version from Nerd Alert Records and later found out on the Vinylcollective board thats this color is out of 205.

These are already hitting Ebay for $40+ which is pretty insane considering they're still available some places..!!

Thrice - Beggars (White/Clear vinyl mix /205)

This is my first Thrice purchase as it is not really a band I have a flawless relationship with.... meaning that I dislike their previous work. This is like a a soft version of Muse (which is a good thing despite how it sounds).... and you just gotta love the artwork!

Seattle's Not Sorry, one of my current favorite hardcore bands, released their debut 7" on Lifeline Records in USA and Salad Days Records in Europe. I pre-ordered a special package of the Europe pressing. This package has two transition presses included, one of them is limited to 30, so there was 30 of these packages tops.

Not Sorry - Moving On (Blue vinyl /96)

Not Sorry - Moving On (Black vinyl /300)

Not Sorry - Moving On (Yellow vinyl /78)

Not Sorry - Moving On (Transition Yellow/Green vinyl /37)

Not Sorry - Moving On (Transition Blue vinyl /30)

The blue transition press is sold out now, but you can still pick up the other 4 version from Salad Days Records (Portugal). As I said, this is one of my favorite HC bands at the moment, and if you'd just pcik this up and put it on, you'll see why! I don't really know how to explain their music without making it look like other YC music from our time, but it is something else..

Last I got the final issue(s) of At Both Ends zine. This baby is a 148-page BOOK! with a lot of great interviews! I personally loved the interview with Verse and with Wait In Vain. Along with this zine came a double 7" with brand new songs by Bane, Grade, Unrestrained and Between Earth And Sky. The dude put so much work and effort into this zine and it is very clear when you hold it in your hands and read the articles. Only thing is that a lot of the records reviewed in it are pretty old.

Here's the double 7":
