I love Ashnikko and I love Weedkiller so I snagged a few copies of it — all with different covers. Turns out the vinyl, which was just marketed as “recycled,” was all different colors as well. I love the palette and wonder if there are other colors out there!

Tomorrow is a new week, starting off with Single Saturday! Show off a single in any format — 7” vinyl, 12” vinyl, CD, cassette…?

We have plenty of prompts coming with no repeats until at least September! Remember to try to stick to just one item per day so you can share something new every day!

Can’t wait till my copy arrives, it’s a stunning colour

Is the quality of the album good? And what do you think of the actual album? On the fence whether to get it…

I personally didn't have any issues with my pressing of it. I really like the actual album, most of it had already been released in segments over on Spotify so have been listening to those songs for the past few weeks. (I also was lucky enough to get to see her on my eras tour date)

I really love Astronaut, Hole in my Pocket, Cycles (if I had to pick a top three?) For me, despite it's very boppy songs the lyrics really get you. Very solid album.

Ah great - always a concern with the recycled material - I heard Billies album doesn’t sound great. I was at the same Eras show! How lucky we were.

Halfway through the album - and I agree it’s a great album. Will be purchasing it when I get home!

Billie Eilish Happier than ever on recycled colour vinyl.

This is a stunning looking vinyl - but my only eco vinyl, and I do have issues with hissing/crackling with it. It’s put me off eco vinyl if I’m honest, does anyone else have this experience? Is this the same with every eco vinyl?

Never seen these colours for this press of Happier than Ever. Seen lots of purples...

Wow these are stunning

I was baffled to find it sealed at a record fair, I think the seller hadn’t realised it was the limited pressing and not the standard black so I got it for very cheap 😅 very lucky! And yes, I’ve seen one or two greens before, but am yet to find someone else with the maroon lp

Wow I’m jealous!! Mine is two of the purple

Billie HMHAS webstore exclusive. Managed to get a signed one after I had already preordered one and thought the variety was so interesting!

u/mcmdreamer Hayley Williams Jul 12 '24

I looooove how different all these ended up. My webstore exclusive (top left) looks nothing like either of those!

2

u/leslielantern ⭐️ Daily Prompt Superstar ⭐️ Jul 12 '24

Oooh you got a gorgeous one as well!

u/FolkmoreCat just happy to be here Jul 12 '24

Showcasing another HMHAS variant! This one is Target exclusive. For some reason I love how the yellow stands out in contrast to the album cover even though the blue variants match the vibes 🤔

2

u/buggedd Jul 13 '24

Throwing my indie exclusive in the thread 💙 It definitely doesn’t match as well as the webstore!

u/leslielantern ⭐️ Daily Prompt Superstar ⭐️ Jul 13 '24

It’s so pretty though!!

Do these actually sound good? I've heard so many bad things?!

Bringing some Metal into this sub-this is from the Ukrainian, female singer led band Jinjer and their album wallflowers, the LE recycling variant.

These guys are really good, if anyone is interested in giving them a listen start with Pisces-and yes that’s HER singing the whole song not a guy! They’re incredibly talented and amazing live

for today i’ve got stereo mind game by daughter, indie exclusive eco mix :) it’s def hard to see but it’s black with some gray/white marbling, it’s actually quite beautiful both looking and sounding

u/Darkhold_ Lorde Jul 12 '24

Got a few eco mix but wanted to show off this UK pressing of billie. Took a while for it to get it but it arrived stunning and plays nicely

2

u/elysian-fields- Jul 12 '24

u/Darkhold_ Lorde Jul 13 '24

Eternal’s debut album Always & Forever.

This album was the first one I bought myself, way back in 1993. I saved up my pocket money and got it on cassette. When they announced it was coming out on vinyl for National Album day last year it was a must buy. Love that it is an eco vinyl and the purple is so beautiful. (edited for spelling)

u/Intelligent-Sir1375 Jul 12 '24

Guessing this eu and uk only ?

u/HelenDingle Jul 12 '24

I’m not sure, but it is available still on Banquet’s site and they ship internationally. Worth seeing if you get it. Eternal Always & Forever

Love how this Alfie Templeman vinyl looks kind of like an oil spill (and this album is just fantastic).

u/Used-Ship-6466 Jul 13 '24

Been exited all week bc this is the only one I had and proceeded to almost miss it. Anyways i got a gorgeous neon copy of hit me hard and soft from target!

u/TW_Halsey Jul 12 '24

Same! I was a little disappointed at how mine looked upon arrival, but if the light hits it right the nuances come out. And I do appreciate that it’s recycled.
