EXCLUSIVE CATALOG
Thanks Mike H! Charly Bliss is one of my favorite new bands and while I may already own Young Enough, it is on CD and yet I have everything else they've done on LP. I wasn't sure I cared enough for Bandbox (my only Bandbox is the great Yo La Tengo album Everything Turned Itself Inside-Out), I have wanted this particular Charly Bliss album on vinyl. And hey, if they are going to price Luna so cheap (it's a double) I'm snapping it up. I'm not sure I care about the album when they suddenly have two more Luna live albums, but I'll bite at $14 and change. If it is good, then I''ll proceed with buying the other two live Luna albums.
That Yo La Tengo is awesome! If you use the referral code at the bottom of my post (the link marked “exclusive catalogue” you’ll get $20 off.
nice! what'd you pick up? i've been a member there for over a year and i've been pleasantly surprised by some of their pressings. The Yo La Tengo is RTI and so are a few others. They have had some good stuff sell out as well and they do some interesting exclusives. Excited for that Luna live album to ship. They pretty frequently have sales as well.
Also used; much appreciated! This is what’s great about Hoffman forum! Got the Luna Live for just shipping cost.
Referral code has gone down to $10 off but still valid. I think this sale is over but they regularly have sales so worth checking out!

Update from email today, March 6: looks like Bandbox is going belly up. They've got some of my money, too, so I'm a creditor I suppose. "Bandbox is filing an Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors To Whom It May Concern: Bandbox is filing an Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors. They are doing this in order to allow a court supervised process to liquidate the company’s assets and distribute the proceeds according to priorities established in law.

Thanks for the memories, Team Bandbox "
Wow, that sucks. I wonder how much their reputation for not shipping orders on time killed their chances of catching on big?
I did not receive my Live Rendezvous, or my album from The Weather Station. I remember a small department store folded here in Los Angeles about 30 years ago. We had a credit in our account at the store. Poof! They filed for bankruptcy and we were just another creditor who got nothing back. Still irks me to this day ...
Received my Luna Penthouse Live sometime back but took forever. Only paid about 7 bucks for it thanks to sale and coupon from Mike H. Despite the long delay, the lp is fantastic and nicely packaged with booklet.
certainly someone will have to do something with all of the pressed records sitting in warehouses since they've been confirmed to exist.
They belong to the creditors now. The list of creditors is very long and we aren’t getting ****. pam sent me my test pressing a few weeks ago and I got Luna Penthouse. Nice sounding pressing. I need Luna Rendezvous now to complete the set but sadly don’t think I’ll ever get it.
In addition to banks, payment processors, state agencies, and other lenders or accounts payable, their creditors list includes: VNYL, Beggars Group, Concord Records, Redeye, OK Go Partnership, WMX - Warner Records, Jeremy Messersmith Music, MNRK d/b/a Dualtone, the Presidents of the United States of America, Chris Ballew, Noiseland Industries, The Weather Station, Polyvinyl Records, Blue Sprocket Pressing, Echo Base, Alliance Entertainment Group, Copycats Media, Merge Records, etc. blue sprocket has sadly gone under now too…wouldn’t be surprised if that’s because of bandbox not paying them
i saw someone claiming to be from a pressing plant saying they were sitting on a bunch of stuff that they never sent payment for. maybe whatever that stuff still has a chance? what a pisser.
Dean Wareham briefly had vinyl copies of all three live Luna albums on his website. They were all clear vinyl, which Bandbox provided him. He said they were copies to be sold at live shows, but also sold some at his website. I just looked and don't see them right now - but I purchased two of them (Bewitched & Rendezvous) directly from Dean's site and got them in 3 days, unlike the 6 months it took Band box to get me my copy of Penthouse. You might keep your eyes open, he might sell some again on his website. This is the version I have: https://www.discogs.com/release/29449663-Luna-Live-Rendezvous
I also bought the Judas Priest Sad Wings of Destiny vinyl in October from Bandbox, and never received it. Don't expect it will ever materialize, at least on "Metallic Gold + Black Swirl Vinyl". Or I'll get my $ back.
This is too bad. I really dig the Bandbox albums I've acquired, especially the extended booklets that come with the albums. I have one outstanding purchase, Luna - Rendezvous Live, to complete the set. Oh well. I'll try disputing the credit card transaction tomorrow during business hours as my card won't initiate the dispute online. If that fails, it won't be the end of the world.
