PRODUCT DETAILS
Blame It On Gravity, the seventh studio album from Dallas's own Old 97's, returns to vinyl for the first time in over a decade - now pressed on limited-edition Sunflower Marble.Released May 13, 2008, on New West Records and produced by Salim Nourallah, the album marked a turning point for the band. After the moodier, slower-burning Drag It Up, Old 97's tightened back up, leaning into the punchy, hook-driven power-pop energy that first made 1997's Too Far to Care an alt-country landmark. The result was one of the most acclaimed records of the band's career: it entered the Billboard 200 at No. 85, earned an A- from famed critic Robert Christgau, and prompted NPR's All Things Considered to call it "their best album in seven years, " adding that it was "noticeably more taut and focused than their earlier albums - more delicate, too."Tracks like "The Fool, " "Dance With Me, " and "Ride" showcase Rhett Miller's sharp, hook-forward songwriting at it's most economical, while the rest of the band - Murry Hammond, Ken Bethea, and Philip Peeples - lock in behind him with the kind of chemistry that only comes from two decades on the road together.Out of print on vinyl for more than ten years, Blame It On Gravity has remained a favorite among longtime fans and a frequent entry point for new listeners discovering the band's catalog. This Sunflower Marble pressing marks the album's first-ever color vinyl release, giving one of the Old 97's most critically celebrated records the physical edition it's long deserved.

By far, my favorite shop to buy from! Always quick with the delivery! Love tyler the creator and I've been searching for this specific vinyl at a good price!
package shipped well. there was a fragile sticker on the box which was nice, most places don’t put that and vinyls get damaged. package arrived in perfect condition.
Good packaging, product was in good condition and showed up on time great album no problems with any of the vinyls either very happy with it.
I am a huge Bob's Burger Fan and found this album as I was browsing the website. I had to get it immediately. I can believe I came across this on a random Tuesday. Can't thank coming across pale blue records enough. And the delivery is super fast. Can't wait for my next purchase.
Super fast shipping, packing done well. Exactly as described. The customer service and product choice is why I keep coming back.
Perfectly packaged, no warping, clear sound. Will definitely purchase from Pale Blue Dot Records again.

Would definitely buy from Pale Dot Records again. The delivery was fast and the records sounds great!
Purchased as a Christmas gift for my 29 year old son. Can't wait for him to open. Packaged with care and timely shipping. Positive experience!
Vinyls arrived in perfect condition, expertly packed, and 3 days from the date of purchase (over the Thanksgiving holiday, no less). Could not be more pleased. Thanks so much!
We received our vinyl fast, it was fairly price, and they had a great selection to choose from. One record we purchased had an issue on the track, and the owner was quick to resolve the issue for us. I’ll be purchasing all of our records from this store moving forward!
The records and the sleeve are really nice. Pacific Dot Records blew me away with shipping it out like, immediately after I ordered it. Arrived well protected and perfect. No complaints.
fast shipping, great communication, and awesome staff. very responsive with messages too. can’t wait to purchase from them again
Records arrived inside the special record boxes, unopened, and in pristine condition. They didn't very long to begin the shipping either. Some places make you wait 3-5 days just to have it shipped out. They did not.
This is not about the product. I've ordered from PBD before and the Vinyls that come from them are wonderful and pressed really well!
This review is more on customer service.
USPS seemed to have goofed around a bit and cause a delay of about 1.5 weeks. Tristan was a highly communicative person and was reassuring with the options I had regarding if my order never arrived. Good sense of humor, accountability, and customer satisfaction. The Sweetwater of vinyl shops. Officially my vinyl go to!
