BEN WEASEL “These Ones Are Bitter” LP clear brown
In no way is this a Triple Crown, “hey I found another box of….” situation. When I originally placed my orders with Lumberjack, Lumberjack did not know that Ben Weasel was signing 25 copies on brown for our special sets of all 3 colors. Because of this, we ended up with 25 extra copies of the Brown Ben Weasel vinyl which is officially out of print. This is actually 1 of the 9 out of print releases we have posted so far on the store for our 12 days of christmas. Get them while you can because as it stands all 4 colors of this record are now no longer available.
This is kind of like playing Monopoly where it says, “Bank Error in Your Favor, Collect $25!”.
HEAVENS “Patent Pending” LP (hand #’d 901 through 1000)
When we sold out of the 100 specially hand-numbered Heavens’ vinyl, I had asked Joe of the band and label if we could get another 100 copies. This was before I had seen the actual records and before I saw the threads mentioning the packaging of the record. So I have another 100 copies, these ones are hand-numbered 901 to 1000. I know that some of you are really disappointed by this pressing and for that I am sorry. Regardless of your thoughts on this record, note that this is a very limited release as far as Alkaline Trio related vinyl goes and regardless of how minimal the packaging is, you get the Heavens “Patent Pending” album on wax. Take it or leave it, I have another 100 copies for sale.
I just ended the Wholesale Pricing sale, thanks to everyone who took advantage of those deals. In its place, I have put the 12 Days of Christmas Discount Code. It is pretty simple, purchase 12 items and get 12 percent off. I know what you are thinking, 12 items is a lot, but I would tell you that if you pick up 7″s, LP sleeves, or any of our bargain based items, you can take advantage of the discount, stock up on some goods, and save a few bucks.
You can take advantage of this deal by typing in the code, 12DAYS, when checkout asks for a coupon code. This coupon code expires on December 12th. This coupon code only applies to orders you have placed between December 3rd to December 12th. It will create much too much work for us if you say, “Hey, I bought 7 things the last 2 weeks so can I get the code for the 5 things I am gonna buy this week.” Please don’t do this.
Buy 12 items, get 12 percent off. Simple as Pie.
Late Friday and over the weekend, we received the vinyl for Dashboard Confessional (the pumpkin vinyl mysteriously became red vinyl), the Converge “Petitioning Forever” vinyl, and the Heavens “Patent Pending vinyl”. The Dashboard and Converge vinyl looks super rad. The Heavens vinyl as some of you noted on the message board is not the most exciting packaging on the planet. As a person who likes to focus on positives, I will note as shown in a photo that the special Vinyl Collective copies have a special number out of 100 so you have the most rare Heavens’ vinyl.
All of these new titles will go out today.

Jessica Shen is the winner of the test pressing for Portugal the Man’s “Church Mouth”. Sorry to everyone who entered, but as you know, there can only be one winner. Good luck to all of our future test pressings. For those of you asking about Black Cross, Dashboard Confessional, Bomb the Music Industry / O Pioneers, and so on, the dates I post are approximations. I am actually waiting on the test pressings from the various labels and when I get them, I will announce those. Sorry for any confusion.
The Test Pressings page has been updated, you will notice a few additions.
And as a very special Christmas special, this week, I will be posting a handful of test pressings in our store and will allow them to be purchased so that a few people will have the opportunity to get the ultimate holiday gift. Stay tuned!
I am excited to bring you our December Vinyl Collector of the Month, Matt Flood. Besides being an avid record collector, Flood is also the mastermind behind Asbestos Records, the label responsible for putting out a majority of the Bomb! the Music Industry vinyl. Matt runs an incredible label and I feel really lucky to be able to work with him through Vinyl Collective.
I learned a few things about Matt from this interview, I never knew that Matt was in a band as you can see from the photo (what band were you in?) and there are several other interesting things that you will learn from Matt by reading further. Thanks Matt for taking the time to do the interview.
It’s another Festivus mircale. We got restocks that go on for miles. Get yours while you can as some of the following, I only got 1’s and 2’s. A quick tip for you to think about is that the Poison the Well “Tear from the Red” is almost out of print. I might be able to get more, but these could be the final copies. I got some more Weakerthans, Pearl Jam, Green Day, Gogol Bordello, Elliott, Mars Volta, Gorilla Biscuits, Modern Life is War, Crime in Stereo, and much much more.

Alright friends, it is times like this that I wish that the internet was a bar and all of you were sitting at a table with me having a beer so we can talk about the records that are coming in, the records that are being delayed, and the exciting things on the horizons. To try my best to get this effect, I have had a few beers (I finished a Duvel bomber and am having an Abbey, a rad Belgium beer and a rad imitation Belgium beer) and am now ready to give you the dirt on what is happening at Vinyl Collective.
We are finding it difficult to accept pre-orders and predict when those records will actually surface. In most cases, we try to set a date past the actual day that we are expecting to receive the records, but you know what? Something happens and before you know it, the intended date gets pushed back a few weeks or in some cases a month. It tears me up when this happens and usually the root of this happening is something that could have been avoided. Unfortunately, I am still learning as I go along and the end result is that some records are just taking way longer than they should. For this I apologize. The fact that the biggest spending holiday of the year is upon us makes missing these expected dates that much more of a bummer.
Below is a semi-updated Things to Expect and for the most part, it is a pretty accurate. Understand that some of the dates could get pushed back and when that happens, we will do our best to let you know. Truth is, after the holidays, Steph and I plan to take a week off from VC and plan to implement some of the things I learned in Chicago to better streamline how we do everything. We hope to focus on ways to distinguish pre-order items from in stock items and if we can do that, our sanity will stay in tact.
We appreciate everyones support throughout this crazy period of Vinyl Collective. It is an exciting time for Vinyl Collective and the growth we have been experiencing is a direct result of the support you have given us. If this website was a bar, i would surely buy all of you a beer (and Scott Heisel and the Justins, i would buy you guys a Virgin Daiquiri).
