Thanks @334578!

^^ Yep, I‘m quite tempted to consume this book.

I got the book but it’s not signed as was advertised. I emailed Rough Trade and they said none were. They put in a lenticular book mark to compensate. Packaging is quite neat!

I didn't get a tracking number, did you? Or did it just arrive?

DW is releasing Hunter Complex's album Open Sea this Wednesday at the usual time. For those curious in hearing it ahead of time they have it posted on the Mondo/DW bandcamp. Link below. It's not bad, I'm digging it although I'm going to try and get Burning Tapes new LP if I can rather than this one. Only have the budget for one LP this week.

It just arrived.

Prince of Darkness coming soon. Spencer just posted a teaser shot on IG.

I hope expanded, I’ve got his most recent repress and had an DW OG That I have to a friend when the deluxe came out, but this is a top score for me and I want more haha

I know about the DW original, what was the repress? It's one of my favorite Carpenter scores but I don't have it on vinyl yet.

The original was in 2012 and the artwork was enclosed in a kind of a circle.
They repressed it in 2013 and 2014 without the circle.
(borrowed some pics from Discogs)
As far as I know, there has never been any change to the track listing - it’s always been the same as the original.

You know, weirdly, they’ve never made one in a green vinyl, so maybe this is just a new color repress. I wouldn’t be overly surprised if it gets new art too.

There does appear to be a black vinyl repress where they changed everything on the cover that was blue to green. Weird.

Thanks for the info. I've never seen the one not enclosed in a circle.

PHV new album is up for listening on his bandcamp. This one will definitely be picked up on Wednesday.

had the PHV on loads today loving it , would straight buy it on bandcamp so i can keep listening but guess the lp will come with download so will hang on .... maybe

Yeah, completely agree. It's really great.

He hasn’t disappointed yet

I’m coming late to PHV but I really dug hearing the new one on Bandcamp, so I ordered this one and the previous one. Can’t wait to hear em both on vinyl.

The new PHV is a treat -- some straight-up acid house thumpers peppered throughout this one.

re: PoD - pardon my colored vinyl interest here, but this looks perfect:

If any record required a color pressing like that it's POD. As long as it's quiet I'm fine. Who am I kidding I'll be ordering that thing immediately

Prince of Darkness this wednesday at the usual time on Mondo. I am not a fan of the artwork. The crosses don't do much for me, I don't like the font they used it looks like they were trying to pay homage with out actually using that font. It's not great. Now this may seem like a minor complaint but it's a very basic aspect of design that they seemed to have missed. The objects in the image have shadows, source of light is coming from the bottom left of the image, all of the shadows are larger on the top right side of each cross. The title text has a shadow too, except it goes to the top left. It was the first thing I noticed and it makes me feel like there is minimal proofing going on here on this release. I would have been that dick head creative director who drew big arrows digitally on the work and sent it back saying fix the shadows. lol.

Shadows aside.... this art treatment is a total wash for me I'm afraid. If someone can convincingly tell me what this image has (specifically) to do with the movie, I'll follow Herzog's lead and eat my shoe.

Green is satans goo. that's all I got @scojo

The basement with the jar o’ devil juice is plastered wall to wall with crucifixes.

As a fellow creative director myself...100% on this whole post. I LOVE the wax treatment, but I'm less than thrilled with the sleeve design, and there is some strange lighting going on for sure. I didn't notice the shadows issue at first, but the font choice is really odd. its ALMOST his usual font, but not entirely. I'm a little confused about this pressing, is it the same as the previous? i might skip if thats the case, but if it is a new remaster then i'll pick up for sure.

Well, Satan is the Lord of Shadow, right? Maybe he's just that good, messing with your perception from another dimension.
