I went to the San Francisco show last night, and felt like sharing some info in case it helps anyone.

It looks like there are two variants that exist (a smoke gray and a seafoam green). The merch guy just pulled records from the same box, so I couldn't tell if just one variant was on sale or both and you just got what you got. He said there was just one variant on sale, but he wasn't their official merch guy (just someone from the venue).

Vinyl sales were limited to one per person, and only a limited amount was on sale for the night. So at least there's hope that stock will remain for these west coast shows 🙂 I'm asking a few friends to let me know which variant they received to see if it's a mix or just one variant per night. I received the smoke gray.

Playing it tomorrow to see how it sounds!

Thanks! I'll try that now. The order status page directed me to [email protected]. Maybe some of the pain is a case of misdirection.

Sorry to bump this, folks. Anybody else not receive their record (or any update) from Closed Casket? I ordered the Red/Gold Pinwheel variant back in June, and I've failed to get in contact with CC over multiple emails. It sorta slipped my mind over time, so after I try one more time to get in contact with CC, I'll attempt a chargeback.  Bummer... love the album.

Got 'em all. Not mad about it 

Damn. Missed out on The Satellite Years and the bundle because of a crazy work day. If anyone could spare a copy of The Satellite Years, consider me interested.

Wasn't expecting to preorder an AFI album ever again. Count me in after listening to "White Offerings."

How my record came in the mail  I hope Kingsroad will be helpful. Any experiences?

Also, it seems that the screen print is indeed a folded print, not an actual slip cover/jacket.  It looks to come with the retail jacket.

 

Looks like the front of the jacket is the dude version of the On Letting Go painting, however.

I was dumb and bought everything that was added today. Can't miss out on any Juturna and OLG pressings.

Not stoked on paying that much for the EP, but I enjoy each release too much to miss out.

Looks like SRC got the "forgotten under the couch" variant.

Haha. BRB updating Discogs.

Anyone else get the black in from SRC. I've been talking with starjigga via PM, and both of our records look grungy as hell. It plays fine. The only issue is a hefty wobble.

How did you order a black copy?

I did indeed have to stoop so low as SRC.

With my black copy on it's way to me, all I need is that HT exclusive, and my Juturna collection is once again complete. Then, I can stop buying this album (jk).

Same thing here with the seam split. Thanks for bringing that up.

Hi all,

I know this may be a bit of a long shot—given the rarity of this record—but I'm very eager to find a copy of Rosetta's amazing album "A Determinism of Morality" on any pressed color. One of my best friends is a rabid fan, so much so that he has a tattoo of the album art. He's also hit a huge streak of bad luck lately and is down in the dumps. To keep it short, he broke up with his girlfriend of 9 years in 2015, lost his job... the works. It would be incredible to surprise him with this album for his birthday in mid-April.

Would any owners here be willing to part with this record? Please don't hesitate to PM me!

Appreciate any help!

I'm assuming not a lot of people know this, but this record was produced by Will Yip

Just the vocals, I think.

Can I pick up the poster some other time than at 4:30pm? The original confirmation email stated that VIP activities would take place 90 minutes before the show. There's a big difference between 6:30pm and 4:30pm. Really don't want to spend that much time in San Francisco, and I'm not too worried about seeing the acoustic set. Thanks for any help!

For all in the same situation as me, I received the below response from SHOWstubs:

"Tickets to the show will be held at will call.

It's refreshing to get a special edition re-release that's this good! How freaking awesome.

I absolutely adore the b-side titled "Buddha." I miss that Anthony so much.

Mine just showed up - luckily no splits - happy to finally have a copy of my all-time favorite record.

 

Tempted to design an insert for this and offer it up for cost+shipping to anyone that wants it, or just provide the file you could then go print out yourself at kinkos.  If anyone may be interested in this, let me know!

100% interested and totally able to toss any money for materials your way.

Just got mine. ~$13 for shipping and the record came naked with no shrink wrap. $35 record and no lyrics insert. RIP.

At the end of the day, I am happy I get to hear this on vinyl. Hope all who want one here can get one.

A few pics for you dudes (sorry about da spacing):

The show last night in Santa Cruz was awesome. It's been a while since I got that sweaty.

The record is $35 at the merch table, guys. I bought one but haven't opened it yet. Really disappointed that there's apparently no insert. The packaging remains one of the best things about the CD.

I dropped a line to Merchline to ask about a shipping refund. I'll let you guys know if I hear back.

I'll do the same.

I'll also keep an eye out for Hot Topic copies for anyone here that missed this.

I have purchased stuff from Merchline that had nothing to do with Solid State and media mail was not available. It is not the fault of Solid State.

Thanks for the insight. And sorry I'm a dummy.
