PAULSON “All at Once” dbl LP 

Jason at the label wasn’t sure they would have enough test pressings to go around, but he emailed me the other day and said he has one for one lucky Vinyl Collective customer. He also said we could get 10 more red/black haze for the store and after that they are all pretty much spoken for. Get one while you can and remember that no matter what color you get, you will be entered to win a test pressing.

I plan to announce at least a few test pressing winners this afternoon!

THE REDWALLS “The Redwalls” LP red 180 gram vinyl

We are excited to announce that we will be hosting an exclusive pre-order for the latest album by the Redwalls, “The Redwalls”. Mad Dragon Records have also been so kind as to offer a test pressing for a test pressing contest. You can enter by purchasing a copy of the album, one winner will be selected towards the end of April.

The record is pressed on heavy duty 180 gram on red vinyl. And the records come with a really kick ass poster as pictured above. The entire pressing is only 500 copies which is sure to go fast. Get yours while you can.

Records will ship on April 14th.

Somehow it just makes sense that in this leap year, on this leap day, we are announcing carrying the entire Recess Records catalog as well as 3 really big pre-orders from this legendary label. I have known Todd over at Recess for many many years and am glad that we have just started working together.

First item of business, we are doing an exclusive pre-order on his upcoming Screeching Weasel, Queers, and Off With Their Heads vinyl which we should be shipping by April 8th. We have been given the ok to give a test pressing for “Boogada” and I am waiting on the thumbs up for a test pressing for Queers and OWTH. I will update you soon. And as far as I know all 3 records will only be pressed in a first edition of 500 copies. The Weasel will be on a gatefold jacket and will be on either red or pink vinyl. The Queers will be on Orange vinyl and Todd will soon tell us what color the OWTH vinyl will be on. Get these while you can.

Next item of business, we are now carrying Recess’ entire catalog. Buy anything from Recess for the month of March and you will be entered to win either a Beatnik Termites “Ode to Susie” test pressing and F.Y.P. 5 Year Plan LP test pressing. Good luck.

Last item of business, we never really had our F.Y.P / CHANIWA 10″ for sale on Vinyl Collective. For a short time, we will have these for sale for $3.00. Get em while you can.

SET YOUR GOALS “Mutiny” LP colored vinyl

So some of you have been asking about this release and we have been trying like ages to get it back in stock with one of our distributors. The folks at Eulogy are repressing it on 3 colors. 1 you will be able to get directly from the band, 1 you will be able to get directly from Eulogy, and 1 you can get from us or from another retailer.

The folks at Eulogy have been kind enough to get us a copy of all 3 colors that one lucky person will win through Vinyl Collective. Pre-ordering this record through us will give you a chance to win all 3 colors, plus a copy of the “Mutiny” deluxe CD, and a Set Your Goals Shirt.

Get this record while you can as it is certain that the repress will too be gone before you know it.

Records will ship on or around April 15th. And we will announce the winner around then, too. thanks.

That is right friends, the good folks at Jump Up not only gave us a smoking deal on the LP/CD combos for Telegraph, Horace Pinker, and Hot Stove Jimmy, but your purchases for these records will enter you for a chance to win a test pressing from Telegraph. I will announce a winner around the middle of March. Good luck!

I just got the thumbs up from Mr Trustkill, Josh Grabelle, that we will be able to give away a test pressing for the gatefold redo of the Opposite of December and Tear from the Red. You are entered to win if you purchase any of the recent Trustkill double LPs from PTW, Walls of Jericho, and Throwdown. Good luck. We will announce these on March 25th.
