Time flies. 6 months from now some of you will regret the pass. 

I know I would.  I ordered the regular version and the shipping cost was also insane.  Still.  It's for sale for one day, I wouldn't of known about it, had it not been for perusing this thread yesterday.  I imagine if I found out about it later down the road, it could end up being pretty hard to obtain a copy.

I pretty much love all things Pumpkins until Adore.   Releasing a '92 live vinyl is pretty sweet.

It’s the first of 2. There is supposed to be another one out later in the year. 

This is supposed to be an on going series as well.

It was $70 plus $50 to the UK plus another $10 tax. I thought no way, absolutely not buying this live lp then was about to go to sleep but before I did the crazy part of me went and bought 2. It was the same price to ship 2 as it was 1 plus I got 15% off.

Hopefully it was a wise move. It seems to have gone after the 24hrs and who knows if they will actually do a 2nd pressing with the issues getting stuff pressed, Im sure someone will snap it up.

Huh. Buying 2 kinda seems like a good idea. You can sell the second a few years down the line and hopefully make up the price for both.

I think I buy at least 2 of most things I have to import where the postage is no different or a fraction higher.  Always seems to be buyers who just dont want the hassle of buying from overseas. If I can bring the cost of mine down a little its worth it. I dont deprive others if its not a limited deal like this.

Makes sense

Hoping my wife doesnt see my bank statement. Dont think she would believe I paid the best part of $200 to somewhere called Madame Zuzus for a couple of records.

Ha, she'll probably think Madame Zuzu's is a brothel.

Any updates on Machina. I know the final mixes were turned in and all that was left was the art, but its been quiet on that front? Maybe this Fall?

There was preordering on Amazon.de when I checked about 6 months ago for this year.. Not sure what happened with that.

Easy order on the archive release! Looking forward to more! I bet we get Machina late this year. That will be incredible!

Really excited for this one since it's a double album and will be released as the band intended, despite not being my favourite SP album.

Ive got Machina on vinyl, dont think Ive ever played my vinyl copy.

For a record made in 2000, it’s a really impressive package.

‘Hello, friend. I can’t believe how quickly this new year is passing. I do hope that amidst what is a turbulent time in the world politic; culturally, spiritually, politically and the like you are taking time out to honor yourselves and those you love. On the musical front we are still in search of a guitarist, and hope to hold auditions most likely in the spring. I’m hard at work currently on the new SP album, which is very guitar-oriented (translation: not a lot of synths lol) and has been fun to make for it brings back many great memories but also helps at times to illuminate new pathways; as my relationship with the guitar now goes back some 42 years. And if you haven’t seen, Reverend Guitars just announced a new BC signature model called the ‘Drop Z’. Check it out if you can. Also, I am working hard on new archival releases, one of which looks like it will be a vinyl collection in excess of 10 albums; maybe more. And not a synth in sight on those either. Lots of love, WPC

New album dropping on August 2nd, Aghori Mhori Mei, looks to be digital with a limited run of vinyl. The email said it’s a 45-minute rock record, lol.

I’m sorry if this is a humblebrag but I’m also super jazzed that I picked up a ticket for a show nearby in a town called Bala at a venue that holds 1,050, the day before they open for Green Day in Toronto. I think this venue’s smaller than when I first saw them open for the Chili Peppers in 1991, lol!
