Shinji Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Yeah, usually when you give them a good wet clean they're good, unfortunately I won't be able to for about another week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 does 'haze' vinyl usually have surface noise? I have a couple haze variants (have a nice life ox blood) and whenever I take it out of the sleeve, it sounds like i'm scraping the record against sand. They usually need a good cleaning.

The Doctor Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I'm on side B of the colored Long Drive now. Didn't notice excess dirt and my brush didn't pick anything visible up, weird. Anyways, it's sounded great so far other than a bit of noise on Custom Concern. I'll check back later with my impressions of both. Oh, mine's the black version. Sorry, should've specified.

zdkaiser Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Hm, interesting. I've only listened to This is a long drive... and I was coming here to say that it was really dirty right out of the package, and even after cleaning sounded a little noisy...Hopefully the others sound better. Yeah, my LCW and Long Drive from Fat Possum had a lot of paper dust on them. I did a wet wash, and they sound pretty good. The pressing is excellent: thick black vinyl that is flat as a pancake. Also the 7 inches from Fat Possum are black. No colored vinyl, like the GP pre-orders. Boo. And I might add, the 7 inches are super lightweight and flimsy. I haven't listened yet though.

YouLoveHisWife Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 After seeing how tight that Haze came out I called the Newbury Comics in Braintree when I got out of work and they had one copy left. The dude I talked to said he'd hold it for about an hour for me, I was there within 15 mins, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drownmeinestrogen Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 My LCW came in today and it sounds amazing. Just unbelievably happy to finally own this album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoToRoBo Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I cancelled my Amazon order because shit, I work at a record store, I can get them to order it. Distributor has it on backorder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowty Dollaz Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 So, between life and car accidents, I haven't been able to listen to either until now. First 7" was rad, and I definitely heard some lyrics that would later be used. Side A of Long Drive literally makes me want to erupt from my man-fountain. So perfect. Ugh. I'm so glad this happened. Thanks to all of you for sharing this experience. It's been great. I can die happy now (after I finish up Long Drive, Too Many Fiestas, and LCW).

mcpherson123 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Is there some secret to getting media mail on Fat Possum's store or am I stuck paying $8.15 to ship two 2XLP's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitvinyl Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Also the 7 inches from Fat Possum are black. No colored vinyl, like the GP pre-orders. Boo. And I might add, the 7 inches are super lightweight and flimsy. I haven't listened yet though. Aw shit, really? I was hoping they'd be coloured like the GP ones - they look so sweet. Also, shame about the flimsiness. Hopefully when they get here they still sound good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zdkaiser Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 They sound good. no worries in that department Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckydan Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 i did the same yesterday. got shipping today, but says it shipped from Michigan, not SF. we will see i guess. I got shipping confirmation yesterday as well, about two hours after I ordered. Also coming from Michigan (which makes sense I think since that's closer to Toronto). Really hoping for that color variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fondfarewell Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 FWIW I e-mailed GP (via Whiplash Merch) and they confirmed they still have the colored 7"s. Not sure why they aren't promoting as such on the site. CVHX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xadamhudsonx Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Got shipping confirmation from Banquet on the Euro variants this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fondfarewell Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 So my Euro "Long Drive" arrived. It is a black and silver haze. Basically the same as the Newbury versions, but black instead of blue. CVHX, YouLoveHisWife, davepriz and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natenomm Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Yeah, the black with the navy blue label is a little weird, but it still looks pretty Sicknasty™. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 both look awesome! but to nitpick, wish the blue was closer to the cover artwork. nevertheless, they look sick!

downisthenewup87 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 How do the Banquet variants sound? Contemplating a long distance order even though I would feel guilty about canceling on my local shop and can't really justify spending the extra cash.... Other option might be having a friend in Boston pick up a Newbury in store. Are people with the Newbury TIALD happy with their purchase? Also, anybody know the #pressed on the Banquet? (sorry for all the questions). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
