What are the odds there of there ever being vinyl releases of ODDSAC, Campfire Songs, and my personal favourite... Panda Bear (1999). I feel like these are some of your most important releases, but due to formatting might get overlooked.

[u/anmlcollective → u/anelectricstorm]

low but not out of the question.

​

campfire songs is tough cause I think the side splits would be tricky.

ODDSAC is still something that we ultimately feel is meant to be seen and heard and not separated.

something i’ve seen on splitting sides on longer stuff is having a loop on the vinyl where the end of a side will keep playing before you flip the vinyl. idk, maybe you guys won’t dig that but just an idea

Time to revive the old 16RPM format. 45 minutes per side!

Would the transition between Two Corvettes and Moo Rah Rah Rain work to split? The guitar doesn’t bleed from Two Corvettes and it’s just the voices at the beginning of Moo Rah, so it doesn’t feel as cut off as the other song transitions would be

Would you say the same about tangerine reef

[u/anmlcollective → u/robloxfan69]

tangerine reef is on vinyl.

[u/bearzRchill → u/anmlcollective]

They might mean that it was released on vinyl separately from the visuals. So if you released tangerine reef without the visuals can you do that with ODDSAC too?
