“Geoff… this statement seems really fair and should go over well on social media.  Is there anything else we can do to maybe soften the sting for fans that feel they’ve been wronged?”
 
“🤔 Can we somehow post it in comic sans?”

Why's it on a break? Midlife crisis? 

Sounds like there will be more variants

I went to play War All The Time yesterday and I pulled it off the shelf and it was still sealed 🥴

Instead if these retailers being assholes to the customers, they should really hold the band accountable... 

This is why Napster happened.

If you’re going to troll, at least play by the truths established in the thread: 2 great albums, with the remaining being various shades and temperatures of hot dog shit.

You almost forgot the part where you deliberately sabotage your mailers to ensure no one gets an archival-grade record jacket.

Learn how licensing works. 

So first you press way too few copies, then your website breaks when you put them up for sale, and now you're telling us no repress. Wonderful. 

It's backwards. I think if that doesn't bother you, you are the odd one. 

take a picture of the damage so we can see it

I got my replacement sleeve in the mail yesterday sent in an old school mailer, unsealed with no poly sleeve, with one piece of cardboard protecting it. Needless to say it was damaged. Reached out over Instagram so I guess we will see what happens

I still love the Finch cover that was made for the pixelated jackets. 

Got notification from St Vitus

I bet that will look really shitty after a couple of uses...

After countless design concepts and several years of prototyping, I'm proud to introduce you to the world's most beautiful 45 record adapter: "The Bottom"

"Bottom's" up!!!

VC went straight savage in here.  I think everyone is just warming up for the annual "can you guys write my thesis for me?" thread.  Can't wait.

You should partner with a vinyl sub service, like Vinyl Me Please or Magnolia, that brings in a lot of new/first time collectors who would be interested in a slightly fancier accessory for their exciting new hobby. People here will e-stab you to death if you dare try and start any vinyl related business that isn’t printing bootleg Brand New LP slip covers.

I ain’t gotten shit! 

I'll toss in my 2 cents. I will seek out the best sounding pressing first, seeing if there is a 45rpm cut, a pressing mastered from the original tapes, or if it's an album not that old, a pressing specifically mastered for vinyl. If nothing like that exists, and all pressings are coming off the same plate, then I'll look for most limited next. However, if one of the variants goes perfectly with the artwork, then I'll prioritize that over rarity. 

City And Colour - Sometimes?  That's my guess.
