Hide contents I'm sure some people will regardless if everyone is interested, it's an internet forum man, post it if you feel inclined, especially if it's like 69 or 666 or something like that. Mine is also out for delivery today, looking forward to getting home from work and unboxing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helsabot Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 No shipping notification, I've received the following reply from Sandbag: The order is currently unshipped, it will be shipping from here in the UK so you won't have to pay any customs charges.

thesecrets0308 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 i just got done unboxing both of the copies that showed up today (one was #352 and the other #1907 for those of you that care). My gf and me literally put in our orders maybe 5 minutes apart so it does seem a bit random as to what number they're giving people regardless of when they had their order in respective to the other people's orders. Anyways.... both were packed very well, appropriately sized mailer, inside a bubblewrap "envelope". Both copies had no obvious signs of being mishandled or otherwise dinged between the production line and my front door. As for SQ. I did a side-by-side comparo with the first track on the Fire disc. Sadly, I do think my CD sounds a little bit better, more clear in the low-end and especially in mid-range. highs have no discernible difference (at least to my ears...). the most noticeable thing when comparing is that the volume levels are very different, vinyl is much quieter than the cd, but I believe that's just a difference in format/source of listening. overall i would say the vinyl is a little less "punchy" than the cd, but it's certainly not enough to make me bummed. Maybe others won't be so happy about it. As far as popping sounds on Fire, i didn't hear ANY pops whatsoever and the soundfloor is dead quiet. No surface noise on mine... yet.

rickydenim Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I just emailed Sandbag and they said they apologise for the delay but they are awaiting stock. I ordered in the first 5mins! Guess I've now been pushed to the 2nd. Fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't freak out just yet. I know exactly how you're feeling though. I'm interested in knowing whether they'd ship yours from the UK or from the US though. Being in Australia and all. inlimbo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ubius Maximus Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Mine just arrived. They they look beautiful and were packed awesome! Super excited to spin them now!! *In case you were wondering, #153, ordered in the first wave (t-shirt/slipmat bundle) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic_ Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 #737 reporting in. Dropped the needle on Firebreather but I can't bump the whole thing until late tonight at least because I am cramming for exams. Doesn't sound mindblowing but it is for sure acceptable. No damage to report, packaged relatively well. Packaging for the book and stuff it self is really fucking cool. They were manufactured with the 10"s not in the book pages to prevent damage in shipping which was really fucking nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Can someone clue me in to why letting everyone know your number is so important? And why a lower number is so desirable? I've literally never seen a numbered record sent out in order either but it's still always such a surprise Methinks it's just another collector thing from other hobbies haphazardly applied to make something seem more limited or special by having a specific number instead of just knowing the total. And technically the 1000th record pressed has a better chance of sounding great than the very first copy. It isn't unheard of to trash a certain number of copies from the beginning of a run. daegor and danmpie7 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomasj182 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Mine came in in perfect condition! Number 173, having owned both editions of this, the second press looks way better than the first, now to find some type of plastic to protect it in.

I really hope that it just didn't get scanned at some point otherwise I have no clue where it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic_ Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Just finished spinning this. Everything is really quiet and well pressed. Love the book set. The mastering on Fire and the louder tracks is kind of underwhelming but at the same time it isn't that amazing on the CD either so this is just about par for the course. Totally listenable though, just not mindblowing like it can be seeing those tracks live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
