deer Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I'm shipping my silver to the UK address I'm staying at so I definitely shouldn't get a cancellation. Sucks to hear the international cancellations, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably bang on the money there. I imagine a disproportionate amount of the vinyl was snatched up by the American market and they figured that a blanket refusal was the way to go because they were either getting inundated with whiny emails or so much of /250 went to America they didn't feel they could in good conscience still claim it was a UK/EU exclusive. Either way it's shady as all hell. I would've liked to grab a silver initially but I ordered an orange crush after they sold out. It happens with limited records all the time, the first come first served model means you aren't always going to walk away with what you want but it's at least fair. Taking money from people who want a product only to give it back a week later when you decide you don't want THEM in particular to have it is bullshit. I sadly can see the after market on this being even more competitive and exploitative than previously expected.

Shitty Rambo Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Well said. It's as if they thought American vinyl collectors wouldn't want the most limited variant of record from a band that's still extremely popular here (and called goddamn American Football). This could've been easily prevented had they just kept the pressing numbers quiet until the gold/silver sold out. Hell, the gold probably would've been sold out day one if that were the case.

I was about to not even re-order a domestic copy of this album if they made me wait for it. The distribution rights for the US belong to PV, so they can't actively sell against them most likely. tape, Jamie Rarity and scottheisel 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzo Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) exactly. Wichita vs Polyvinyl. And isn't the whole primary purpose of regional exclusives that we don't have to pay absurd shipping? Sucks for all you Americans though, for once (just once) happy to be European. Edited August 31, 2016 by gazzo Jamie Rarity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine and it happens pretty often, but why did it take them a week to realize that and finally refund people? There should have been no way to order from the US or a very clear disclaimer that any US orders would not be honored.

Thomas³ Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Maybe they didn't expect someone to post a link to it to non-EU customers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they probably got plenty of orders from the US for the most recent Owen release, so I don't buy that defense. Also, I didn't order the silver thanks to some restraint but I still think it's a shitty situation for my American brethren that did.

It could be the Owen LP's coming stateside that brought it to PV's attention. Ideally, they'd trade copies for each others stores for bundles or sales and make everyone happy (until everyone complained). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stress On The Sky Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Every time I see the art for the debut I think of Mineral's endserenading. I think their artwork really fits their sound. I can see how the break in text might upset the OCD crowd but not everything has to be squared away neat and tidy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Potter Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I have such bad OCD that I noticed you didn't capitalize "OCD" or "I" or any proper nouns in your statement about having OCD about typos. Also, you forgot a period at the end of your sentence. TheGhostOfRandySavage, jonnywreck, freedumb and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
