Collector notes

This is the band's original self-titled debut, now back in stock on bio-sourced black eco-vinyl in an FSC-certified recycled jacket — a newer, more sustainable pressing rather than a limited or coloured-vinyl edition. If you're collecting for sound and sentiment rather than variant-chasing, this is the standard way to own the record properly on wax. It's not a rare or numbered pressing, so there's no urgency around exclusivity — but eco-vinyl runs do tend to sell through and go quiet between repress cycles, so it's worth grabbing while it's in stock rather than assuming it'll always be available.

FAQ

Where can I buy The Pains of Being Pure at Heart by The Pains of Being Pure at Heart on vinyl directly?

Direct from Slumberland Records, the band's label, via their Bandcamp page or online store — buying direct means the money goes to the label and artist rather than a reseller.

Is The Pains of Being Pure at Heart being reissued or restocked on vinyl?

This is a restock of the existing pressing on eco-vinyl, not a new reissue edition — same album, more sustainable materials, same catalogue pressing.

What should I do if The Pains of Being Pure at Heart is out of stock or only available at high prices?

Check back with Slumberland Records directly rather than buying from a reseller or marketplace listing at a markup — labels like this typically repress when stock runs low, and buying secondhand at inflated prices only rewards resellers, not the band.
