ok, I guess I'm confused by @bdm105's posts as they seem to suggest that it might be happening... unless it's more checking if VMP is doing it as wishful thinking for missing the yellow variant?

Was checking to see

It was around for a couple of hours. At least on bandcamp. Had a hard time checking out with B&N but finally got through.

I missed the bandcamp one. B&N is still available but I might hold off...been buying too many records lately!

I haven't had luck with getting flat records from them. I'm going to wait to see if VMP or another place has a variant and if not just go with bandcamp

Was hoping they would add Goats Head to Qobuz when they put all those 24bit digital albums up, but no luck. I think OG pressings of it aren't too expensive. I grabbed a 1973 pressing for pretty cheap not too long ago.

I have a rip of the Japanese SACD as my digital copy that I got using totally legitimate methods...
 
This has some nice early Daedelus vibes to it

Anyone know who stocks these in the UK?

buying from them can be either a frustrating or a wonderful experience but they have so much stuff that only they stock in these parts. That said if youre in Scotland and he has a physical store thats not too far away (he’s near Larkhall) maybe that would reduce the randomness of some of the encounters they you can have with him. Its not cheap though, £64.99, although that less than I’ve paid importing from the US by the time you add postage and customs.

I think the 45 RPM Nashville Skyline is great for the reason that if I put a 6 minute side on, I'm going to listen pretty intently!

I recently got the 33 of New Morning and it sounds great + don't have to flip it that much haha. I understand I'm just extremely lazy. I do tend to put records on while I am working at home now though and the having to stop and flip the record every 6-10 min isn't very conducive.

I definitely get it, and Nashville Skyline is such a short album to begin with - you could easily have made an audiophile 33rpm pressing.

I feel like it's gotten a much higher profile in the past few years which is great. Planet Waves is pretty underrated too. No one ever talks about it and it features The Band FFS

I’ve been taking a deeper dive into Dylan, The Band and Grateful Dead lately. The Dylan mono box got me started and VMP anthology gave me the impetus to start listening to the Dead. spent some money to make my own anthology of sorts recently thanks to the suggestions of the fine folks on this forum!

"Punk Slime Recordings are proud to present the debut album from Stockholm quartet Initiates. Initiates is the new project from Swedish post-punk act Holograms’ (Captured Tracks) Andreas Lagerström, taking inspiration from shoegaze and ‘90s alternative rock with loud distorted guitar textures and dreamy melodies. Joining Lagerström is Oliver Brink on guitars, Joakim Andersson (ex Maim, ex Morbus Chron) on bass and Adam Hansson (Kerosene Kream, Caligulas Mamma) on drums, with Lagerström handling vocals and guitars. For their debut LP the band teamed up with producer Martin “Konie” Ehrencrona (ex Viagra Boys, ex Les Big Byrd) for a 26 minute long collection of nineties infused alt-rock, complete with Lagerström’s signature vocals."

So underrated that I somehow forgot about it while racking my brain for comps lol. And I’ve listened to it plenty and enjoy it. Semantically, it may be more underrated because it doesn’t have the prestige that Oh Mercy does as the Dylan is back again album—dude has been around so long he has like 5 of these lol. I think it’s the first classic album since Desire, though I enjoy some of Slow Train and I’m not ashamed to admit it. I’d say Oh Mercy is better, but argument can be made Planet Waves is more underrated since it gets lost under BOTT and Before the Floo

Thats awesome. Some of the most important and talented American artists of all time. Luckily for Dylan and the Dead, it’s almost impossible to run out of new stuff to listen to. The Band obviously had a significantly smaller output, but their first few records and their live albums are stunning.

I think that’s why I had never really checked out much of the Dead stuff or Dylan’s later work. Both discographies just seemed so vast and I had no clue where to start. Weirdly enough someone had posted the Day of the Dead box set in one of the monthly challenge threads I think (before the VMP dead announcement) and I checked it out and found that I knew more Dead songs than I realized. So it’s been fun going through some of their actual albums. The past month or two has been full of listening to the Dead, Neil Young, Dylan and just starting to listen to more of The Band.
