Goats Head Soup seems to be the weird exception that remains not reissued.

...and one I would love to add to my collection. Hopefully they get that one done soon.
Honestly, I bought a ridiculously clean UK OG off Discogs for £16, it’s stunning, sounds better than all my modern stones presses combined!

Good looking out, sir. Thanks for the heads up. Now it’s got general release I’m sure this will see a local release because PUSA were freaking huge over here.

PIAPTK Newsletter had a couple interesting releases up...
First up, Sloppy Joe & The Cruise - Keep On Cruisin'
It's Jimmy Buffet meets Brian Wilson Meets Jerry Garcia. It's clever, self aware, self-deprecating, beautiful, funny, sad, and infectious.

After a show in Key West, FL in 2005, Dr. Dog guitarist Doug O'Donnell wandered into a run-down dive bar called Chart Room and ordered a drink. There were only a handful of regulars in the bar, but one of them came over and sat down next to Doug after hearing that he was a touring musician. For the next two hours, this scraggly, bearded man unrolled his own incredible history while Doug unrolled the $5 bills of his touring per diem to keep them both in rum and cokes. The man was “Sloppy” Joe Flappens. In the early to mid-70's, as he told it, Sloppy Joe was one of the kings of the southern Florida beach bar scene. His band, “The Cruise," would pack houses all over the area, years before Jimmy Buffet's “Margaritaville” took the tropical soft rock sound to the top of the charts. Buffett and Flappens worked the same circuit, and, while not exactly friends (there was, according to Joe, “a woman to blame” for this), they occasionally performed together. Sloppy Joe and the Cruise recorded one legendary album in 1975 before disbanding. A tragic accident left Joe unable to play guitar and the completed album was shelved - literally (above Joe's couch, next to his record collection). He spent the ensuing years as a fishing guide, maintaining a laid back lifestyle in obscurity until his death in 2018. At that point Doug (who had become Joe's biggest fan and occasional penpal) received the master tapes in the mail (per Joe's will) and began trying to expose the world to this lost classic.
EDIT: Bonus Lathe Cut 7" available. if you are diggin' this, have an IG account (I don't) you can Pre-order from PIAPTK direct and take the "Fruity Drink" Challenge details on their site below.
Sloppy Joe and the Cruise - Keep on Cruisin' LP!
*SNEAK PREORDER - Better photos coming soon! CHECK IT OUT on the usual streaming sources! I REALLY love this record. And the response to the soft-rollout of it has been incredible. If the first pressing sells out, we will probably do another run asap. This record needs to get out there and be...piaptk.com
Any of you get yours yet (if you ordered one). If so, was yours a little roughed up? I am talking about the jacket mostly - just looks like it was almost purposely done a bit lo-fi.

I think they were shipped from Tucson so yours was probable the first to land. I know it said they were screen printed, how rough is it?

Back in February, in an interview Jagger said they were just finishing up a “deluxe reissue” of GHS so maybe we’ll see it in the fall or winter. It’s either my favorite or tied with “Sticky Fingers” for my favorite Stones album, so I’m on board.
It’d be tempting, it’s 5th for me after “the big 4” but that OG I have sounds so damn good that I don’t know whether it’s be worth it!

LOL, nah man. I agree it’s not mint. Definitely some defects. My rule of thumb is if it is gonna bother me every time I get it out to play, is it gonna bum be out? If the answer is yes, then I will reach out. It’s good time since you got it early they probably (hopefully) have some extras.
Have you had a chance to spin it yet? How’s it sound?

The owner sent me a nice reply. I’ll share it because I respect his response and attention to customer service.
“Hi Scott, these sleeves are all handmade. Hand silkscreened, cut one at a time on a cricut cutter, (i think that was what caused the thing you sent the picture of) and hand assembled. Extremely labor intensive and im (intentionally) not the kind of silkscreener that is good enough to charge $75 retail for something like a poster, so They all have unique little imperfections. Imperfectly perfect is our stock and trade. It was made by a real person (me), and i kinda like that it looks that way. Each one is unique. Honestly, if that is the only thing you notice as an imperfection, you probably got one of the better ones!
Regardless, i hope you enjoy it. A lot of work went into it, and a lot of love. Its one of my favorite of the 300 releases ive had a hand in over the last 15 years.”

That's cool, and should allay your concerns. You should print out his reply and keep it with the record!

Ironically he lives near me. Going to try to buy him a drink and see where he presses this stuff.
