lol, check my edit dude. wasn't trying to be a dick. @billya

You implied that my clarification question had nothing to do with the one page of posts up until that point because you hadn't actually followed the details, then made a post starting with "lol". You were definitely being a dick.

I am sorry I came off as a dick, as it was not my intention. I confused myself because I was thinking the splatter part you were talking about was in reference to a previous Newbury press. I truly apologize.

What a bummer, for some odd reason they don't ship to Europe ;-(

It's not odd. KRS doesn't have distribution rights for this material in Europe. Domino was the original rights holder, I don't know if they currently hold it, but KRS has confirmed that this will also be released by the European rights holder. Turn that frown upside-down.

I am not sure I would assume that the BM variant is the buttercream splatter unless the label confirms it. I can definitely see this thing having an indie exclusive

ben at kill rock stars here. we're doing a pressing of 1,000 on buttercream splatter that is available exclusively on our website (only 15 left) AND an indie exclusive of 4,000 copies on yellow vinyl. we're also doing a version on black vinyl.

bull moose's pre-order is for the yellow vinyl that we're making 4,000 of.

i hope this clears things up.

Got shipping notice for this.  

 

A bit worried tho... anyone from Canada ever order a single record and have it shipped though UPS to Canada?  UPS is horrible and I ALWAYS get a huge import fee.  I am fully expecting they will want almost $30, in which case, I am sadly going to not accept and return it.  I would have avoided ordering if it was clear they'd be using UPS.  Any input is appreciated.

Depending on the marked value, you shouldn't pay more than taxes/duties (which Canada Post would charge you) plus a $7 fee. See here:

If it shakes out differently, I had success in the past getting UPS to drop fees by arguing that the merchant (not me) selected UPS as the shipper and so I didn't agree to pay their fees.

What merits the 'greatness' of a download code?

 

It's not just a piece of paper. More like a postcard with a picture of the tapes the album was recorded on. I mean it's not some major thing, but I thought it as pretty cool.

I received my copy from Kill rock stars yesterday. Both lp's came in with a bit of a bowl warp to them and the surface noise is a little higher than I was hoping for. 

Neither one of those issues is a huge deal, as I haven't washed it yet, and the warp isn't so serious my record clamp can't help. So just listening on the first play through I thought it sounded better than some of the other variants I have of this. 

I will give it a wash and vacuum and see if that clears up the surface noise. If it does, then this will be an excellent press. Very dynamic and clear.

I am really struggling to find a copy of this, seems like it has sold out pretty quickly. Does anybody know where I might find a copy?

Thanks.

Also here for $24.99 (but without free shipping, I think):
