AltPress has two variants here, too: SUGARCULT ‘PALM TREES AND POWERLINES’ LP (Exclusive – Various Color Vinyl)
And smartpunk Sugarcult - Palm Trees and Powerlines | Smartpunk Exclusive 5 total variants, /300 each
Been waiting years for them to press this, one of my favorite records of that era. I remember buying the cd at the Virgin Megastore in Downtown Disney on vacation
Love this one but ordered the Parting Gift variant. https://shop.altpress.com/cdn/shop/...TangerineSplatter.png?v=1776801064&width=1200
Yeah went with the Parting Gift variant...solid colors seem to sound better in my experience, subjectively speaking.
I got Parting Gift because it was the first one I saw and I wasn't taking any chances. The Alt Press variants look gorgeous, but I'm good with the half and half. Can't believe this one took so long to happen - one of my most wanted for a long time now!
So thankful the Smartpunk variant was the UK distro one. Looks beautiful and perfect for the artwork. Another one checked off the list!
I had a bad experience last time I ordered from Smartpunk and got a damaged record, so even though I really like their variant, I won't be purchasing from them unless it's completely necessary.
Are you still doing this? I just got through Fall Out Boy. I think I’m on track but it will be close haha.
That sucks, they’ve been around long enough to know what they’re doing by now. Devil Dog Distro in the UK get their variants and thankfully they’re probably safely bulk packed!
I just started doing the same thing haha. Not limiting myself to this year because that would be more than 1 a day, and I'm using the Discogs randomizer to pick each record rather than going in alphabetical order.
Ray LaMontagne - Gossip In The Grain https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GTC9VFPN/?tag=absolutepunk-20 Edit: appears to be a 2xLP repress, hence the high price...I think?
AFI - Decemberunderground pre-order. Edit: the site removed it. It was a standard version, no bonus tracks. Probably posted too early.
Yeah, unless you want a copy that's likely mastered differently across 2 LPs instead of one, and has a couple bonus tracks/alternate artwork. An expensive upgrade to get that version, though.
