Hey Marc (and hello to all!)- Yup- I had to pull back all of The Reckless Kind vinyl. Suffice to say it's been a major fucking headache. One day I decided to check out the vinyl of the record just for kicks, and once I dropped the needle, I immediately noticed more surface noise than had been on the test pressing. This was followed by a sort of thudding tick that happened once per revolution. This continues throughout the first 1:30 of the the first song. I started freaking out immediately, and just hoped that somehow I had grabbed a lone F'd copy. I rolled over to HQ and opened every single box of the vinyl, took one record from each and numbered both it and the box it came from to make my little survey as scientific as possible. I took them all home and listened to them and about 70% of them were hosed. Nightmare. Since then, I have been in limbo with the pressing plant. There is finally a plan in place- they are coming to pick up all of the boxes from me on Monday, and will re-press and package the album the following week. So, if you are waiting on the album, it should be available again soon. I'm sorry for the trouble and we will certainly refund you the moolah if you prefer. The whole thing is a bummer, as I really wanted the vinyl to be pressed here in California, but I will likely have to find a new plant to work with and they will probably be out of state. Thanks to all who have purchased the albums! Cheers, Ryan
