Badman Records has sold out of the last pressing, which was designed with input from this fine forum (see that thread here (http://forum.mymorningjacket.com/index.php/topic,17456.msg328184.html#msg328184)).
The new one is available now, limited to 1000, for $18.99 w/free shipping in the US.

Why can't MMJ just gain control of Okonokos and push a repressing of it? That's what all of us want almost more than a new record. Or do another double live album and make a vinyl record from that.
I just randomly picked this up in Memphis. Went to some hole-the-wall record store and SCORED!!! Now if i can just get my refurbished record player back!!! (hopefully today as I need a new belt and think I found one here in Denver)
If anyone's still looking for this, there are now a few new limited vinyl pressings available at Badman:

Too funny. Only one minute apart.
Thanks CC,
Now I HAVE to buy ANOTHER pressing ? :)
Sure wish they would remaster it, though.
Use some of that Warner bros. $
Can't wait for "alleged" remix of ISM :)
Wish they'd use some cash and remaster THIS great lp.
There's some really great songs besides Cobra on this beauty :thumbsup:
That said I bought a couple new colors :rolleyes:
Do these issues have album covers. I was disappointed when I ordered the old one off of Amazon and it had an album cover online, but just a thick plastic sheath when delivered.
Don't quote me on this, but as far as I know every pressing has come w/a plastic sleeve cover.
I'm assuming these will too...
FYI,
Halloween pressing is SOLD OUT :(
Not for nuthin, but the Mark Kozeleck,(Sun Kill Moon, Red House Painters),Rock&Roll Singer"'LP on Badman is Awesome and totally affordable at $18.99. His versions of slowed down folk covers of Bon Scott Era AC/DC are worth the cost of the Lp alone. His own stuff is great too. If you've never heard him...he's totally worth checkin out.
I just looked at this thread and realized I'm have a conversation with myself. Anyway,
...meds are working fine, LP sold out, Kozeleck lp is good. I'm doin pretty good, thanks for askin. So ...yeh...I'll talk to ya later
:beer:
PS- Kozelecks music is pretty, but he's a HUGE asshole, in real life. Just FYI...
Thanks for the heads up, and good talkin to ya.
:beer:
my Halloweenie is supposed to come this week!
Cannot believe I missed this.
this and my Xmas Fiasco Style come today!
I have one of the original pressings from 2007 I think, anyways, due to the printing on the record itself. There is a cyclical white noise and almost skipping sound. Has anyone else had this issue?

Got my Hollween also and my X-mas (red &green-had to have both at that price(is how I'm justifying it to myself :) )showed up also :thumbsup:
And that original banana pressing sounds AWFUL!(needs to be remastered but, as someone reminded me, " it was recorded in a barn")
Also it's kinda common knowledge the banana pudding swirl pressing is terrible sounding. Don't feel bad, I have one too, sitting in it's plastic sleeve, never to be played again :( at least not by me. Also got burned on a red pressing of the Acoustic Citsuoca-Star Time Pavilion(has a "makes you flinch", VERY audible scratch with EVERY revolution of the record... sooo pretty often AND awful). Thankfully, found a replacement as they are pretty affordable and not too difficult to find. There's some notorious LP's that are like ROLLIN(back) the dice :)
-but the songs contained on those LP's, turns you into a "Tumblin' Dice" man...
(Some of the more recent clear, splatter, Choc & Ice EP, LP's do sound better :thumbsup: )
Cheers & happy hunting,
Tippy
Any word on the sound of these pressings? I think the black and blue swirl is the only one left. Is it a worthwhile replacement for the translucent blue splatter?

I can concur, mine has the exact same problem.

I've got a copy of the original blue & white swirl.. played fine when I bought it, but has since been destroyed by the awful leaching plastic it came in. I threw out the plastic, but the record's unsalvageable.. I suppose I could make it into a bowl or something. It's worthless audio-wise :undecided:
Looks like Badman has discovered the issue with the older copies they've had in stock for awhile... "We have noticed that many of this specific brown/yellow original version have not retained great fidelity and thus we are selling them primarily for the collectible nature of its color scheme. The LP has a slight film on it - likely from being placed into the vinyl jacket while still being hot off the press. We'd like you to know what you are purchasing before you receive it. If you are looking for the best in fidelity it would be wise to choose one of our other color variations of this title." (http://badmanrecordingco.com/products/my-morning-jacket-chocolate-and-ice-blue-white-vinyl)
I call bullshit on the 'hot of the press' line, though. My copy was fine when I bought it, and only recently was affected, which means the PVC broke down over time and began leaching. I hope they've sourced a better sleeve for newer pressings. Either way, I wouldn't recommend leaving pic discs in the awful PVC sleeves they come in for this exact reason. As soon as I noticed Chocolate & Ice was wrecked I took my pic discs of It Still Moves, Z and Evil Urges out of their sleeves and chucked 'em in proper poly-lined paper sleeves for safe keeping!
