Big mail day!
Massive props to Waxwork-- Nightbreed is fucking awesome!! This will surely be on many "best of 2015" lists; it is just a phenomenal release. A Danny Elfman score to a Clive Barker film on a pretty colourway housed in a gorgeous heavy tip-on sleeve with art by Rich Kelly. What else is there to say?
A wag of the finger to We Release Whatever The Fuck Records. I should have known better after the mediocre effort for the Tra Scienza Umiliani reissue, but dumbass me was suckered into the special edition. It is just the regular release with a "poster" and a "puzzle." I use the quote marks because the poster is printed on thin newspaper, and the puzzle is a blurry picture of a pinup printed on generic (ie interchangeable) puzzle pieces. And the packaging was total shit, so the disc is slightly warped and the jacket is pretty banged up. And for €40 before shipping! What a rip off. I think it doesn't matter what they dig up next... Got fooled twice, and like George Bush says, "fool me twice, heh heh, uhh, you can't fool me again." They should change the label name to "We don't care what the fuck we release"
An ambivalent shrug to The Vinyl Factory. The Jean-Michel Jarre singles arrived. I like the singles, but the sleeves could be wider and a tad bigger, and they should have at least come with paper inner sleeves. Good music but lacking the kind of lavish physical treatment that Vinyl Factory has a reputation for.
And check out this box I got today from a guy on Reddit/r/vinylcollectors. Good thing he included this scrap of bubble wrap! Seriously, the scrap was the only thing in the box besides the record! Also it is not even the right record. Smoke more weed, dude...
thanks 
im limited to my mobile for internet, but will check it. Saw you picked up the penny alessandroni reissue, I was really impressed with the sound quality on that release, great record.
