Mine seems to be really dark ;-) I already contacted Andrew's awesome Team and they are going to replace the black one (I think ...)

Got mine yesterday (in Germany)! Anybody else with one blue vinyl (album) and one black (b-sides)?

I just wondered why I missed out on this release (and the other Nolan vinyl), but got hardly remembered by the companies shop system that there is no shipping to germany … .

Speaking of the retail version: I just got a mail from jpc.de saying that my pre-order was canceled, cause the article isn't available anymore! edit: Amazon added a picture to the listing, showing the japanese cover !? http://www.amazon.com/Start-Static-Sugarcult/dp/B00GST8TYQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386933361&sr=8-1&keywords=sugarcult+vinyl Maybe a mistake, or a different pressing ... just ordered it copy from amazon, I hope they don't cancel it like jpc.de did.

I'm a bit confused about this release, did they say this will be available everywhere? Amazon Germany: http://www.amazon.de/Start-Static-Vinyl-LP-Sugarcult/dp/B00GST8TYQ/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1385284185&sr=8-4&keywords=sugarcult+vinyl Amazon USA: http://www.amazon.com/Start-Static-Sugarcult/dp/B00GST8TYQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1385284241&sr=8-1&keywords=sugarcult+vinyl and I just looked at some other retailers and ordered mine from jpc.de (the merchnow.com preorder has a way to high international shipping rate, around $23 only for shipping to germany)

The replacements were pressed in germany, the plant is only a few hours away from my home, think thats why I'm the only one (on VC) who got the replacements that quick. But you guys are right with the communication, I should reach out to them again to ask for the 45 rpm "Trans" ... let's see what they're doing.

So, the labels are placed on the right record (woohhhooooooo!), the sound is as good as the wrong labeled first press! Finally the box is complete! :-) But I'm really upset that they didn't replaced the "Trans" pressing (wrong speed), I contacted "AinR" about the issue right after the first listen of the box and this is what they wrote back: We are sorry to here about the other issue. We are going to try and fix any problem we possibly can. We do want to wait and find out if there are any other customers with similar issues, and we will take care of everyone. We will be sending the replacements free of charge, and we will notify everyone once we know when they will be ready. You can keep everything you already received. Hm, so I guess: I'm the only one with the wrong speed?

I got my replacement Lp's a couple minutes ago. Haven't a chance to listen to it, I will give them a spin after work. The records are looking good (not wrapped), no new outer-sleeves, only inner-sleeves. But, I'm a little bit upset that they haven't replaced "Trans", cause of the wrong speed (33, advertised was 45!) BTW: the package was shipped from germany (it says the manufacturer is P+O Compact Disk) <0.o>

News from A+R about the Transatlanticism speed: We are sorry to here about the other issue. We are going to try and fix any problem we possibly can. We do want to wait and find out if there are any other customers with similar issues, and we will take care of everyone. We will be sending the replacements free of charge, and we will notify everyone once we know when they will be ready. You can keep everything you already received. So, everyone should write them to get "trans" in 45 rpm!

got mine yesterday and love it. No skipping on any record, no warped "Stability" and no black glue on the sleeves. Does anybody downloaded the mp3's? Are they the new masters or just the old?

Whhoooohhhoooo, mine was shipped yesterday, hope it will arrive next week, the german customs are sometimes very slow ... . I never had any skipping records (except for Rogue Wave's Permalight, there is a high compressed part in the title track of the album ... .), but I will give the whole box an attentive listening on my old Dual 1234. Really hope that they fix the "trans" issue, thought it will be great to have this milestone on 45rpm, cause I already own the first german press (2LP, 33rpm and colored inner-sleeves).

He posted the preorder will be up on wednesday (https://twitter.com/amslingshots/status/318496973411999745). Just listened to "Synesthesia" and really love it!

Despite all the wrongs and mistakes of this box, I really can't wait to hold this one in my hands! (no shipping confirmation yet, ordered on november 10th). I wonder if the issue with the wrong speed of "trans" is told to ainr and if so, will they also repress this LP?
