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 its 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

Shipping, Local Pick Up, Returns & Cancellations Policies.

SHIPPING:

We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.

Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.

LOCAL PICK UP POLICY:

Due to a large amount of unclaimed local pick ups over the years we have updated our policy. Any orders that remain unclaimed after 90 days from the initial "ready for pick up" notification will be considered abandoned and returned to our system without refund. If you are having issues picking up your order within this time frame please contact us via orders@1234gorecords.com. If you need your order shipped we can easily do so for an added shipping fee.

RETURNS:

Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.

If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.

Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.

CANCELLATIONS:

Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.

Thank you for your understanding.
