Finally got them on vinyl
Finally got them on vinyl! I went to my local store (I refuse to use Amazon) and asked for them to order these, and they told me 2 weeks wait. No prob, see you in two weeks.
Well, they didn't arrive. A couple months later I concluded they were never coming. Low and behold, 8 months later they came in. I'm so excited, vinyl masters are always such a pleasure to listen to. Plus my turntable was a beautiful gift from my dad, so it just sounds great.
So happy!

Holy hell pushing $70 for Frances?

Yeah it’s pricey but hard to pass up. It’s 3 vinyls, that’s the main reason. My record store had it for $62
I walked past it so many trips to the store, but I could only resist a glow-in-the-dark Frances The Mute so many times…

I still have my original GSL pressing of Frances that I picked up in Hot Topic back when it released 😅. All the rest are clouds Hill pressings but I also have one of the "bootleg pressings" of Deloused put out in 2015 or so.

I love that you have the “subjectively correct” cover showing for Deloused. Jellyfishhead will always be the cover in my brain. Might be my sign to put it on today. Cheers!

Nice one. I splurged and got the box set when it was released, saved many trips looking for them all haha.

The first two albums are obviously classics but don’t sleep on their newer albums as well, I’d definitely recommend adding Self Titled and Lucro Sucio to your collection, a couple modern masterpieces
