chamb117 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Yeah when the PO went up he had it available as a package with the most recent Suburbia press. gotcha, i thought there was a new pressing of suburbia or something that i missed. can't imagine how much of a shit show that would have also been Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyk Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 gotcha, i thought there was a new pressing of suburbia or something that i missed. can't imagine how much of a shit show that would have also been From what I've heard Hopeless will only allow Chris to repress Suburbia on clear. That's why he's made three presses that are only clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futures Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I wonder what the logic is behind that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throughbeingcruel Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 He did forever variants for other albums as well. I didn't know he was only allowed to press Suburbia on clear though. Klefki 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyk Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Not sure about the logic, but it does make some sense. Have you ever seen any records repressed repeatedly on anything but black? Especially with previous presses being colored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLegendOfMidna Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Not sure about the logic, but it does make some sense. Have you ever seen any records repressed repeatedly on anything but black? Especially with previous presses being colored. He's repressed La Dispute - Between River Altair something something a few times on purple. That's it from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futures Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 My question was more along the lines of why would hopeless pick and choose the specific color for the forever variant rather than saying "just pick a variant and stick with it", not that a forever variant was being used.

ethanpricington Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Well. I got the test press I won yesterday How's it sound? I think everyone's prolly wondering if the record we ordered 5 months ago has even been worth it... VinylGyroid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinylGyroid Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 How's it sound? I think everyone's prolly wondering if the record we ordered 5 months ago has even been worth it... Thinking realistically, probably not. I originally intended on canceling my order for a refund but then I got an email from MerchNow (who I contacted about the refund considering that's where NSR is right now) and they told me to contact Chris... so I just let it go. Not to mention this has since sold out and it's hard to find a copy of Suburbia for under $30 (as opposed to the $11 and change I paid for it with my pre-order of this record) so... I'll bite my tongue a little longer... I guess. I only hope we all live to see this record in our possession before we die of old age. ethanpricington 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually haven't been able to listen to it yet. I'm waiting on a new cartridge for my table. Someone I know who got theirs already from BanquetRecords said that it got stuck mid-song but I think he cleaned it again and it sounded okay.

jewfro Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 sorry to bump the thread, but I thought that since a lot of people were still waiting on this, if this piece of satire wasn't posted anywhere on the boards yet that this would be a good thread to post it in. http://thehardtimes.net/2016/03/01/man-receives-record-he-ordered-14-years-ago-in-mail/ AWasteOfATime and VinylGyroid 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About time! I just hope we all receive any records we ordered with it though. I bought the bundle with Suburbia and a copy of A Comp For Mom too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glass realms Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 The only reason I never canceled my order for the Upsides/Suburbia bundle is because I'm pretty sure they got the pricing wrong. I got the bundle for $27 shipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeconspiracy Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 just got a shipping confirmation from merchnow! looks like i'll actually get this before i'm an old lady after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the bundle for $27 shipped. I actually didn't buy the bundle now that I think about it, it was cheaper to just buy The Upsides and Suburbia separately for some reason (kinda defeats the purpose of the bundle no?). Also at the time I ordered there was a discount code going around, so I got both records + A comp for mom for like $33 shipped if I remember correctly. I actually emailed MerchNow about canceling the order but they told me to email Chris, which I didn't care to do, so I told them nevermind. For the price I paid for all 3 records I'd be lucky if I found just a copy of Suburbia, so fuck it I can wait a little longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out Of Time Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Remember when I said I cancelled this? Turns out that I didn't. Apparently no one is checking [email protected]. Anyway, I received this today. Looks good. The D Side etching is disappointing. It's 'The Upsides' in the same font as on the cover. A little creativity would have been appreciated as far as that goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
