PRODUCT DETAILS
They came from some of the most popular, if not polarizing hardcore bands of the early '90s (SHELTER, 108, RESSURECTION), but by the time Texas Is the Reason formed in 1994, a new aesthetic crystallized almost instantly and reduced it's members' previous efforts to history. Indeed, it was only a year later, when Revelation Records released the band's self- titled EP-their name derived from a lyric in the MISFITS song "Bullet"-that Texas Is the Reason were already headlining their own tours in America and well on their way to defining a new moment in post-punk.In April of 1996, the band reinforced that initial success with their first and only album, produced by JAWBOX's J. Robbins and named after the last words that John Lennon was alleged to have heard: Do You Know Who You Are? In the years since Spin, Alternative Press, and Paste would all go on to call Do You Know Who You Are? an essential '90s album. Unfortunately, after a year of heavy promotion and touring for the record, inner-band tension came to a head, and Texas Is the Reason officially split in 1997. It's members would go on to play in JETS TO BRAZIL, NEW END ORIGINAL, ATLANTIC/PACIFIC and THURSDAY.Since then, the band had only reunited in 2006 for two sold-out shows in New York, again in 2012 for sold out shows in both NY and LA. Now the band is playing shows again with lots more planned. Newer generations of bands like SPITALFIELD, INTO IT. OVER IT., TRANSIT, and STEPHEN BRODSKY (of CAVE IN) have covered Texas Is the Reason songs over the years, and even now- marquee acts like DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL, TAKING BACK SUNDAY, and FALL OUT BOY have all publicly cited their influence.Texas Is the Reason Do You Know Who You Are?: TX30 Special Edition LP is the second of three releases to mark the 30th anniversary of the band and it's landmark album, Do You Know Who You Are?. The original recording, produced by J. Robbins and mastered by Vlado Meller has been cut using the current direct to metal mastering for a clear, loud rendering of the album. The package includes an eight-page booklet with many photos never published before.These TX30 Special Edition pressings will chart the band's three chronological stages across three intentionally-prepared 12-inch records-from their earliest recordings to their debut album to the band's final three songs, written for and originally conceived as the beginning of a second album that was never completed before their 1997 breakup. Each release will include expanded art and booklets featuring never-before-seen photos, flyers, and other means of telling the band's story. The three releases will be joined by specially designed obi strips, devised to create a visually cohesive set.

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.

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!
