Tommy Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Wonder what variant/special features are on the Tour LP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Picked up the tour LP tonight. It was $25 and numbered out of 300 on a sticker on the outer sleeve. I got #2/300 since they didn't sell any merch until after the show. Unfortunately, the inner sleeves had seem splits. But it turned out really nice. It looks like the whole LP is a single disc and the second disc is the Weekend EP on one side and some covers on the other. I'll try to post a couple photos tomorrow. mertzrock 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 damn, no way they don't sell that out by the Orlando show. Unless they're limiting the number they sell at each show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirates Press. RFC presses through them and you can see their order for the Hey Mercedes records on their site if you look for the catalog number (at least, you used to be able to when the records were in production. Can't see them anymore though. Press must have shipped out). Pretty sure most PP records are CZ pressed? Correct me if I'm wrong.

I wanna say I read an article a few years back about Pirates Press being a US broker for GZ or something. You put your order in at PP and they send it to GZ to be fulfilled. Im not an expert on this stuff, but it's pretty damn easy to tell if it was pressed in the Czech Republic, the variants are always pretty crazy compared to United or someone else.

Tom Delonge's UFO Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 Did anyone ever hear/read why this release was moved to RFC from Topshelf? Not that it really matters, just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirate Press and A to Z are US Brokers for the GZ plant in the CzechRepublic, so all of "their" pressings go through the CzechRepublic. In my experience their pressings are very hit or miss as far as sound quality is concerned...additionally most of the crazier looking pressings (especially the hazes) tend to be really dirty right off of the press. Their packaging is extremely cheap and lackluster and usually slightly too large which often results in seam splits. Theres also rumor that they often just use a CD or low quality mp3s to source the audio from...sometimes even if you're getting a legit laquer cut to send to them, they'll start the project without waiting on the proper master...that part is speculative rumor, but everything in that above ramble is personal experience.

TheComebackKid Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 It also says "MFG in CZ" in the bottom right on the back of the jacket in the picture. scottheisel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NapalmBrain Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 another way to tell is all pirates press stuff is DMM so there is never initials in the deadwax and the runouts are always a string of numbers followed by /A or /B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
