MELVINS/HELMS ALEE: "CONTROLLING DATA FOR A BETTER FEELING FUTURE" LP *SET OF BOTH EDITIONS*

Sold out.

Next on tap for the Melvins 40th Anniversary hootenanny extravaganza is a team up with Seattle-based Helms Alee on their new album, Controlling Data for a Better Feeling Future WITH special guest, Gary Chester!

Ya get 5 tracks o' goodness, kicking off with a cover of Hüsker Dü's Data Control.

Artwork on the sleeve designed by HAZE XXL & is silkscreened by Boxy Mouse in 4 colors on our usual tan chipboard stock.

Both editions are included in this set.

The first is the AI Orange Edition. Vinyl on this variant is a black & orange pinwheel spinner pattern.  Sleeve has Day-Glo orange ink, which is exclusive to this variant. This is going to be the edition that’s for the Melvins/Boris tour this summer, but we’re making a small batch of them available when you buy it as a set with the Digital Silver (mail order) Edition.

Aaaaaannnd you guessed it, the other is the Digital Silver Edition with vinyl on this variant in a black & silver pinwheel spinner pattern. The sleeve features mustard yellow ink, which is exclusive to this variant.

Each edition limited to just 250 copies & is hand-stamped on the back of sleeve with the edition # & they both match with the set.


Catalog # is AMREP150. Here's the tracks...

SIDE A

  • Data Control
  • Better Feeling
  • SIDE B

  • Galloping Mind Fuk
  • At the Stake
  • The Sails of Charon
  • Something we should also mention in case it's an issue. These releases are handmade & may have slight imperfections. We have the sleeves custom made, then they're shipped to us through the meatgrinder gamble that is UPS. From there, they are run through a screenprinter anywhere from an average of 6-9 times & then are all hand stuffed with the actual records. All in all, that's a lot of handling & so there's a good chance that they're not going to looking like a gleaming shrink-wrapped sleeve from a machine at a factory.

     

    We say this nearly every time & maybe one day it'll work, but PLEASE place everything you want into 1 ORDER.

    If there are multiple orders placed from the same customers we will either combine them with no refund on postage, or they will be sent out exactly as placed.

    C'mon, it's hard enough processing a couple hundred orders quickly without this AND responding to all the emails requesting combined shipping and refunds. This delays EVERY order.
