EHughes527 Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) It's here! This thing is SOLID. One of the best quality deluxe sets of anything I own - and I own those Radiohead ones (IR & AMSP) if that tells you anything. So I noticed something that I found interesting... This release is advertised to have a 'hidden track' on it, which can be found by playing the outer-most edge of the Side C center label. I was sent the test press last December and I never discovered the hidden track while I was playing it and reviewing it, so I was like 'I have to see how I could have missed that!' - and lo and behold - my Side C of the test press is a different lacquer cut as evident by the runout markings! I checked and the Side D has identical runouts between test and product. This tells us that the 'hidden track' wasn't conceived of for this project until after a set of lacquers were cut and test presses made, sometime early 2017 presumably. So one side of one of the three tests was 'rejected' I suppose, to make way for the added hidden track. I found this interesting at least. Here's one more with the two first presses too!

Wtf.. What country did you ship to? Maybe there was some import fee needed for it and it wasn't paid in time, so it sent back? Or, some error with the shipping address? Couldn't deliver properly, so it was Returned to Sender? No idea what happened in your case, but those are two possibilities... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to tracking it never left the UK, so no time to pay any import fees. Might be some address error, but I doubt it since I payed with paypal and the adress has always worked before. I have contacted Twisted, hopefully they will fix this quickly. Edited October 24, 2017 by mtaifa EHughes527 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EHughes527 Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) Came across this curious Amazon listing that states this 3xLP will be BLUE... I pinged Twisted for a response. We'll see what they say. (Original mock ups for this release showed BLACK fwiw) https://www.amazon.com/CODEX-VI-3-LP-Blue/dp/B07323YG3F Edited November 14, 2017 by EHughes527 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shifres Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 (edited) For almost 25 GBP shipping, I can't pull the trigger, not for this release, comes out to $110 in total. Will gladly pull the trigger for "Ineffable Mysteries from Shpongleland" though. Edited November 24, 2017 by shifres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EHughes527 Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) Looks like our own @Widar has emailed Twisted about when the Tales reissue would go on sale and Simon responded with "Mid to late January".

Widar Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Yes, got tired of refreshing bandcamp and looking at the web page app (thanks again, Eric!) whenever my daughters wake me up at night... So I emailed and Simon from Twisted answered within 20 minutes. Great! Thanks for spreading the word, Eric. EHughes527 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious about the wording used. I could see a pre-order happen before it technically releases. Thanks @Widar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
