The credits are insane. Everyone from Questlove to Chris Daddy Dave to Ahmad Jamal to Ron Carter. But yea I can’t justify that much and help set the precedent that all of them will cost that much.

There's a digital download included so I imagine someone leaks it at some point anyway. The physical record is basically just being able to say you own a limited edition release.

I literally just saw that. Thanks for the heads up
I had preordered the limited vinyl like a month ago so wasn’t a huge deal but am disappointed the autograph came this much later so I just went with the litho. Free shipping too

Yeah me too. But I preordered the signed one too (2 actually, just in case one comes damaged). And then since I have a mini collection of signed CDs, Yesterday I grabbed that along with the signed litho (sans Digital copy).
I spent too much on this album....
Should be seeing this preorder at regular/web retail outlets soon. Hope the sound quality is good as another Live Rory Gallagher is always a good thing......:
Check Shirt Wizard – Live In ‘77: Triple Vinyl
Rory Gallagher
Rory Gallagher’s most successful albums are his live ones, such as “Live! In Europe” and “Irish Tour ’74”. He was an artist that came alive when onstage and this album covers a previously undocumented live period. This 20 songs, previously unreleased, set is culled from an early 1977 tour across the UK in support of his then latest album ‘Calling Card’. Featuring fantastic live versions of tracks from that album as well as songs from the 1975 ‘Against The Grain’ album and other career favourites. This new album has been mastered at Abbey Road. The cover painting is by a young Irish graffiti artist Vincent Zara who has stenciled Rory’s image across his home country.
Johnny Marr“The man who changed my musical life was Rory Gallagher, I picked up a guitar because of him.”
Slash“Rory didn’t sound like anybody else…He had a very individual, independent kind of tone and approach and everything. He’s always been a big hero to me.”
Brian May “He was just a magician, he’s one of the very few people of that time who could make his guitar do anything it seemed. It just seemed to be magic. I remember looking at that battered Stratocaster and thinking “how does that come out of there?”
Ritchie Blackmore“Rory was probably the most natural player I’ve ever seen. In all the gigs we did together I don’t think I ever heard him play the same thing twice… He was the ultimate performer.”
Ed Sheeran “’A Million Miles Away’ was the first song I learned on guitar. The story goes that when Jimi Hendrix was asked how it felt to be the greatest guitarist in the world, he answered, “I don’t know. Go ask Rory Gallagher.”
Eric Clapton“The man who got me back into the blues.”
Jimmy Page “I really liked Rory, he was fine guitarist and singer and lovely man”
Peter Frampton“When I was with Humble Pie and we were all just beginning to feel like we were getting it together, Rory was the one to measure yourself against. To be able to play like that with such intensity was awesome and really the only other guitarist that had that ability was Hendrix. I could never get a sound like that from my Strat no matter how hard I tried. He was a real credit to music and pushed it to another level altogether.”
Alex Lifeson“It is truly remarkable how many guitarists over the years have cited Rory Gallagher as an influence. I was introduced to his playing during the Taste years but it was during one of Rush’s early tours opening for Rory in the fall of 1974 that left the greatest impression. He oozed passion in his playing and I envied his ability to transcend the moment. I learned a lot from him as a guitarist but it was his character that touched me most.”
Ace Frehley (Kiss)“Rory Gallagher he was a great player. I’ve seen him perform several times he just used to use a little Fender amp and that beat-up old Strat, but boy, he could make that guitar talk. He was another guitar player who never got the credit he deserved, it’s incredible.”
Joe Bonamassa“As soon as I heard Cradle Rock, I was hooked. I thought, ‘This is what I want to be when I grow up.’”

One of the best hip hop albums ever made and we are superstoked to have a Rough Trade exclusive - and what a beautiful colour mix it is. 'Donuts' is accessible without being typical or easily defined: it's hip hop without mcs; electronic music that at times sounds like a 70s soul mixtape; J...

I had many of the same thoughts but am trying to be good with spending.

My guess is this is SRC's final pressing. Hopefully HUM retained the rights for further releases and will do their own re-issue. Otherwise, I'm going to be pissed that I didn't get in on this.Hum - You'd Prefer An Astronaut (Sea Glass) Vinyl LP

I still have my old Bullmoose order in place and never canceled it. I honestly hoped that it would have been officially been canceled and that the rights would go back to the band so they could reissue it on their own terms as well. I'm concerned about the quality of the product itself, so we'll see...

My only experience with SRC is their 1st Press of The Tall Sessions. Its a really great sounding and great looking release. I saw a copy in my local and they wanted $150 for it (I think I paid $30ish on pre-order).

So I don't have a bad experience with SRC, but I try to buy direct from the Artist whenever possible and I know there are rights issues with this HUM (Classic) release (that I need in my collection). So I haven't purchased it from SRC.

I was ready to write off Real Estate after their last album. But I listened to Paper Cup yesterday and it's very very good!

Yeah their last album felt uninspired. Hoping they have found their voice and comfortability post-Mondanile. Unfortunately for fans of their old material, we may be seeing a Tame Impala type of transition in style. But in this case it seems to be rock heavy with more solos and biting lyricism.

I kind of feel like they've done all they can do with their "sound". A transition in style might not be bad thing.

I'm surprised that the only color variant of this so far is the VMP clear (which I don't have). This will do nicely to replace my black copy.Rough Trade Donuts Exclusive
