Later, when the black records start flooding in, you will have less of a chance to score a green. I would bet the ones at your store are green. Guess I’ll find out! Will post here when I know for sure. EDIT: Confirmed, they’re green. Edited April 26, 2018 by KnifeStreet lamontbond 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multiverse Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Man, I'm still trying to get my hands on a green copy. Not trying to pay inflated prices and my local keeps selling out immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethereal Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 a lot of shops in the LA area are claiming the green is now out of print and that any incoming restocks will be black, since that’s all they can order now. they are also claiming that TMR shorted a lot of shops significantly on the amount they ordered and are now SOL on ordering more of the greens (pun intended) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They removed it from their website but it may be worth calling them to see if they have any more in store that they could maybe ship you. They were charging $27.99 for it. Other than that keep a close eye on discogs as stores have been randomly putting them up there for $30ish the past few days but they disappear within minutes.

We (Reckless) sold out of those green copies so quick, I think in two or three days. We were also told the green is out of print completely now, and that all future restocks are gonna be on black vinyl. If it helps anyone out, since I know some people were asking about it, I think only one or two of our green copies had a sticker saying it was a limited edition. The rest didn't.

bortx Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Just received confirmation from banquet records uk that their stock allocation for the green Sleep LP has been cut back significantly therefore my order has to be cancelled. Fuck this shit, seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Where the hell are all of these supposed 10,000 green records? I just keep thinking about the last Radiohead on white that was limited to 9,000 and you later saw them everywhere and still do. The pressing number must be incorrect on these or some flippers have boxes and boxes of them in their storage space. Good luck, everyone.

lethalenforcer Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 If anyone in the UK needs green copy, HMV seems to have a huge allotment as they're apparently a special merchant for it. Banquet's site even calls the green version "Indies and HMV exclusive" https://store.hmv.com/music/vinyl/the-sciences I suppose you could use a forwarding service if you're not UK-based and want to preorder through them, but with secondary market prices being around $60 the price may wind up being similar. 4 minutes ago, lexicondevil said: Where the hell are all of these supposed 10,000 green records?

Something clearly changed along the way. This entire thing has been a clusterfuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This entire thing has been a clusterfuck. To explore this a bit, looking at the cataloguing of this on discogs. About 20-25% of the split are accounted for. The Green is sitting around 7% accounted for (if 10k). Of course, we don't expect everyone who purchased to catalog, but it still seems like enough of a discrepancy to suggest either: A - Not 10k B - Shit's lost, yo C - Hoarding D - Jack is having some fun with us I am Jack's smirking revenge.
