I heard about this last month, but was waiting for it to be official!  Yeah Badman Recording Co.!  Check the very brief blurb in the upcoming section on their main page.

One more thing I'm going to have to order ;D  Thanks for posting!

[Kory]

great news, good looking out. Keep us updated when we can order...

[the_wizzard]

If I remember correctly, it should be done in October.  But I will verify and let you all know.  I turned in my order the day he told me he was working on it  ;D
I can be such a geek sometimes!

[Kory]

yea, I emailed today and asked about a pre-order... I think I'm going to buy a few copies. I f-in love that EP all the way down to the phone call.

[the_wizzard]

I asked for 2 copies also!  One to leave pristine and one to play!  Chocolate and Ice was how I got introduced to MMJ, so it holds a special place in my heart ;).  And when I found out Dylan and his wife shopped at the store I am part owner of...well, I nearly pee-ed my pants!  Please support Badman whenever you can.  They are super-duper good people.

for you vinyl aficionados, can you recommend a decent record player? anybody out there with hi-fi kit, or are you listening to the kind with built in speakers?

[the_wizzard]

in our house it is Technics.

I actually have a technics that's about 10 years old that I dug out of the attic a while back, recently replaced the needle on it, and had to buy a preamp so I could run it through the auxiliary input on my stereo.  I ordered a cheap $25.00 preamp at radioshack, and I've noticed that the sound quality of the records is good, but definitely doesn't deliver the same kick as the cds i play on the same stereo.  Any aficionados out there know why this would be, is it b/c i have a bargain priced preamp, and how much would i have to pay for one that would make a noticeable difference on my "only decent" stereo?

Also, does anyone know if the Chocolate and Ice is a reissue, or is this it's first time on vinyl?  

[sweatboard]

This is the first pressing on Vinyl.

a good preamp makes a difference.  wouldn't spend anymore than you did on the stereo though.

tis available for preorder now. They say it's a limited one time pressing (they said that about Okonokos though...) so get it while you can.

the title of this thread makes me hungry :-?

[Kory]

I'm eating fruit loops smoothie's... that's the closest thing I could find to chocolate and ice swirled.

2 copies freshly pre-ordered  8-)

I don't have money for it right now, but I pre-ordered it anyways.   Now I'm going to be excited and impatient until it arrives.  ;D

I can recommend the stanton ST-100, or a Technics.  Make sure you get an S-shaped tonearm.  The straight tonearms gave me Antiskate issues.  Equally important is the stylus/cartridge.  I can highly recommend the Shure m97x.  Other stylii had issues with my Jacket records.

Oh, what a sweet surprise... I can't wait to hear the vinyl crackle over Sweetheart and Cobra... I've never seen a "swirled" LP before, but I'm hoping it's also scented. That would be the ultimate sexing of my sensories.

Interesting thought, if these are swirled in any sort of machined method, each vinyl will probably have it's own unique swirl pattern. Stuff like that appeals to me.

Expected to come in late September - my birthday is late September.

Is it weird that I just bought this even though I have never owned a record player?
