David The Gnome

Same thing happened with mine.

No one else ended up with two of the same discs besides me so far?

Got mine in today, too. Haven't listened to the records yet but I do have a/b, c/d labels.

edit: all is well in the house of Gnome

How many copies on clear vinyl did he get pressed behind the band's back to trade for test presses and sell on eBay? 100? 500?

Never thought I'd see the day!

Have you called/checked your local shops? They may have very well received the creme variant if they placed an order for it before the last week or two. 

Right on! I was hoping these would start showing up out of the blue. Can't wait to tear into those bonus tracks. 

He still lives in town? I didn't know that.

 

So... did black show up this week and get packaged up?

Yeah, as far as I know. He dropped my Prawn print off at Square Records a handful of weeks ago so that I didn't have to have it shipped. I assumed he'd only do that if he was still local. 

I'm not the one who won it, but do you do jacket yourself?

Yeah, I've done a few test jackets for board members. The art is usually custom and full-color, printed with HD inks and then adhered to a standard LP jacket. The final product ends up looking closest to a tip-on style jacket. 

Congrats to whoever just got AGBOL's YAOMM. Had such a killer test jacket planned for it but wasn't going over $50ppd. Feel free to hit me up if you want me to make it for ya!

Charlie Wagers lives in my neighborhood. Now I reaaally want my deluxe to arrive, preferably yesterday. 

PWTHANKS isnt working when you checkout as a guest, do you need to be a member for that one?

I'm pretty sure it becomes available after you change your password on the new website. If that is indeed true, you'd need to be a member.

$19.67 shipped site to store with the PWTHANKS code

Hoping to find a creme in the wild here soon. Not sure how I missed such good news of this repress. I'll be happy to own it regardless of variant.

I still got you David no worries.

We didn't even get pt.1

Well geez, don't ruin the ending for everyone. You didn't even use a spoiler!?

Coming this winter, The Cartel Truth Pt. 2

If it was not a Thursday, I'd make the drive down, but can't justify those 4 hours on a work night. Really wish there was a Cleveland date.

Totally with you on both accounts.

If I'm able to purchase multiples iv got you dude. We've made one too many solid deals with each other for me to not hook you up!

Edit: If you want a tour press

Right on! I'll take you up on that if it's possible. 

Damn, definitely sucks not to be near this tour. I'm newly relocated and geographically challenged; I thought Columbus might not be too bad but it's still over 2 hours each way on a Thursday. Bummers to the max.

Can't believe it's only $20 on Amazon. While there are only 4-5 tracks I'd like to hear from it, that price point has me close to grabbing this.

so has anyone gotten tracking info with their shipping notification? I'm getting anxious again

It's my understanding that they printed the labels before they received the records, so they could be ready to ship ASAP after arrival; I doubt that they'll be updating them with tracking info. If they received them last Thursay, Oct 22, when they were supposed to, everyone in the lower 48 should have them within a week or two. 

Someone posted a link to a reddit thread with some info from the band's manager a few days ago:

Solid album is solid.

I'd be surprised if Bad Timing didn't reissue this before too long. Good luck in your search for a copy!

I didn't even order it and I'm butt hurt!! What's wrong with me???

CANADIAN.

If anyone is really that butt hurt over the way it turned out I'm sure you can shoot them an email and change your order to a 180g black; they are still available.

Works for me.

Now deliver that sucker and gimme those bonus tracks.

Yeah weren't they already supposed to have been delivered at the warehouse last week?

I feel like the phrase "supposed to" has been said more about vinyl shipments than just about anything else in the few years.
