WHY ?
They were supposed to show up this month.
I only got the magazines didn't need the records and I got the magazines a couple months ago
Anyone know, off hand, if they're still available ? I bet I could go to Barnes & Noble and pick one up

Magazines not available online. JZS where did you see that? JFC how hard is it to ship records with 'wraps' aka posters? Two more months? Revolver needs to get their act together.

When you go to the items on their website, they changed the shipping date from April to June.
Revolver obviously don't give a shit about this or Melvins fans in general. Haze, The Melvins, Blixt, even Ipecac know how to order from their suppliers way in advance of announcing a release. from what i've read on fb, this has been everyone's experience with them on any other bands albums previously. :x

Some interesting tidbits in that article!
QuoteAfter nearly a decade, the band's time with Big Business concluded without angst or even much of a discussion. Warren and Willis were told the Melvins were going to tour with McDonald the following year, which didn't seem out of character for a band that had recently toured as Melvins 1983 and Melvins Lite. But it was soon clear they were parting ways with Big Business, at least for now.
"I had one conversation with Buzz ... about royalties," Willis recalls. "I was like, 'Oh, I was just wondering because we're not in the band anymore ...' And he said, 'Who said you aren't in the band anymore?' I was like, 'Oh, OK.'"
:shock: :shock: :shock:

Would be surprised to see Big business ever come back to do something with the Melvins.

me too
i always wondered what the hell happened with the big biz thing. not sure that clears it up too much. coady's account paints buzz to be oddly passive-aggressive. buzz doesn't seem like the kind of person who's afraid of laying out the facts of the situation. who knows
i think basically BB were busy doing their own things and Jared just had a kid and missed a few tours with Melvins, replaced by Pinkus. maybe that was the reason why Buzz decided to move on

Yes, it raises a few questions for sure. But having never been in a band myself maybe it's too easy for me to judge something like that. Perhaps that's just the reality - it's a business transaction type of deal and nothing personal. When i read that bit with Coady, i imagined him just sort of standing there perplexed as Buzz walks off.
My guess is that when Jared had to bail on the 30th Anniversary tour to go on paternity leave that it was over for Buzz. This was when we got the Coady/Pinkus lineup with Honky opening.

I was going to say I remembered something about Jared going on paternity leave which no doubt the band had to pay for.

You really think the Melvins offer paid paternity leave?
I think America is the only industrialized nation that doesn't provide for paid parental leave.
And yeah, Melvins as a business probably don't fall under any federal or state family medical leave laws
Ok fair enough I assumed you had paid parental leave over there like a lot of countries, my mistake.
Anybody gotten a shipping notification? The site still says 'shipping in June' but it's now mid June.
Nerp. Crickets.
:disagree: :x
:lol:
I got a shipping notification yesterday from Revolver. Supposed to be here Saturday the 8th
For just the poster?

Oh, guess I didn't look close enough the first time. That's confusing
Ok, now I just got the shipping notice for the full order. I guess the delay kinda softened the blow of waking up the next morning, opening my phone and wondering what I spent almost $400 on the night before
I got shipping confirmation as well.

Sweet :banana:
Holy crap! Originally estimated to be delivered next Saturday the 8th, I just randomly checked the tracking and it's out for delivery today.
So only the poster arrived and the status on the rest is 'Preparing for shipping' 🧐

I see they are letting the interns mail the posters. That sucks.

LPs have finally shipped!
Got a couple of the LPs , they look awesome.
The pictures don't do the 'wraps' justice. :toke:
According to the Discogs entry for Bullhead, a new/different lacquer was used for this pressing than for the most recent presses on Boner Records.
Hoping that's the case for a Senile Animal as well.
I wonder how the albums were sourced? Remastered?
It's a poster wrapped around the outer sleeve?
Ok, so now I just got notification that "the last items in your order are on the way". I opened the tracking and it was the dreaded "shipping label has been created". This has been confusing.....
So far I've just gotten the poster and no mention of anything else.

Agreed, these are super cool. The tracklisting on the back and the hand numbering is a nice touch.
Also having 'a senile animal' as a single lp is welcome, less getting up off the couch.
I just hope mine arrives on a day/time that I'm home. It's supposed to be around 100 degrees here for the foreseeable future. Working from home and having no life really cuts down on the possibility of me finding a box that's bleeding melted vinyl on my front porch but I still worry for no good reason.

My order did the same thing. The tracking went from "label has been created" to "delivered". Once it went to label created it was only a couple of days and it showed up. I don't know if they just aren't scanning them or what but don't trust the tracking. I had two separate orders and they both did that.
No booklets in the Bullheads :microwave:
I just got a reply from an email inquiring about the wait. They said they are hoping for July...
Today mine changed from "label has been created" to "in transit" with an estimated delivery date of next Monday
Out for delivery today! Wonder what the next plot twist will be....

When I opened the box, first thing I said was "so THAT'S why I paid so much!". The mega bundle is both limited variants of each album (6 total) and all 3 covers of the magazine. Can I get a breathalyzer app on my phone for when I'm using PayPal?

You got the super mega bundle!
P.s. make sure they give you the advertised 1 year digital subscription, I have a feeling that Revolver is going to try and skimp on that.

Is ASA the same 2LP 45 RPM mastering?
I haven't opened any of them yet but I'm pretty sure I've heard ASA is single vinyl for this version.
Regarding the Revolver digital subscription....eh, not too worried. I'll check my email to see if there's any info. There was some special offer or bundle I did back in 2019 or so where you got a full year subscription for the hard copy magazine but when I figured out a year subscription was 4 issues I just said 😶
