There is a big difference between using a giant corporation's characters and ripping off a small artist's original work.
 
I urge you to contact Tom Whalen and ask him how he feels about some random dude taking an image of his artwork that was found on the internet, screening it onto LP jackets and selling it to hot topic picture disc collectors.

***I AM NOT TAKING ANY NEW REQUESTS RIGHT NOW. PLEASE WAIT UNTIL I COMPLETE THE CURRENT PROJECTS I HAVE AND I WILL START TAKING REQUESTS AGAIN.***
 
Anyone interested in custom record sleeves for picture discs, test pressings, or whatever just let me know. I may even be able to create housings for collections like a small box set. I have tons of paper to use to make 7" and 10" records. 12" records may take me more time since I'd have to track down full sheets of paper. Here are some examples of sleeves I've made.








They can be full color or simple one or two colors. 7" & 10" are $10 each, 12" single sleeve are $15, and gatefold is $20. Shipping is $4 within the US. All I need from you is the artwork or an idea of what the artwork will be and I can photoshop some things. I can also add inserts for an extra $5 each.

First time poster, long time lurker... Here's my Pinback collection:

I used to have a wall of them too - this was many years ago. Have a bunch more now. The Kings of Convenience one is probably my greatest get though... met them outside the Iota in Arlington, VA way back in the day. Oh, and Ryan Adams' Heartbreaker, signed by Ryan after he was holding the door for us as we left a restaurant. Yes, I was that guy. But the fact that I had it on me at all is still pretty awesome...

It's a sad, sad story... But we must press on!!

Hey there! Sorry for the delayed response!! Real life has been pretty damn hectic in the past month. Busyyyyyy
 
So, the tests are being worked for sure. We definitely have them. It's more a matter of the screen printing finishing up which Scott has taken care of and is under way. As I'm sure you may have heard, a bunch of these records (roughly 100+) are possibly lost in transit thanks to the USPS. We're trying to figure out what's up with that too... so these variants may actually become much more rare.
 
Scott's out of the office and on vacation right now. I'm off w/ work until Wednesday. We're all pretty much locked up in real life busy-ness. As soon as I have a better word on things I'll get that out to you guys ASAP!
 
Thanks again everybody!

Yea, they can't assume that all of their customers follow them on twitter, Facebook and tumblr. They can assume all of them have emails since they are required to place an order.

They have...multiple times. They are just waiting for fedex to deliver it to their warehouse. Apparently it is just delayed on Fedex's end. Apparently they are supposed to be shipping to us either today or Monday.

Back in 2009 I posted this picture:

Definitely more than I had thought there were.

I posted my nofx collection a little while back, I've added a few since then. But I don't have the time to take it all out and photograph it. But here it is on my shelf!

I'd take Pinback's worst over most of the stuff on this board.

You guys are funny. I bought it and frankly don't care if it's a little pricier than I'd prefer. I love this band and I'm happy to add this to my collection. It'll be nice to have 180g vinyl. I do agree that a repress of Blue Screen Life would be nice too. A 180g copy of that would be fantastic.

I bought it. With shipping to Australia it was $47.30 USD. lol.
Everything is more expensive to get ahold of here, but it's my favourite band and they're only making 500 copies, no one held a gun to my head and made me buy it. I hope they use of the cash they make off this album's sales/tour and come back out here.
 
Now, I just hope the record makes it down here without too many bangs and bumps...

very true, but I meant more in terms of where the money is going. Hot Topic always has zero to do with any release they put out; the recording, the marketing/promoting, the artwork, the music on there, the mgmt of the band, the booking of shows, the finding them places to sleep on tour, and countless other things indie labels do for bands, with the exception of some shit labels. When you buy from HT, which is owned by an investment firm now...so lawyers basically, the money goes to them for making something pretty, but still being based off of someone else's hard work, the band that made the album and the label that promoted/distributed it, that they just happened to have enough money to get the rights to. If you buy something from a label directly, that money goes to them, like you said no middle man. So Pinback can go on tour and sell these and make money for the label who have, since this album came out up until their last album on TR, been the ones to put them on tour, promote their work and so on. I agree the price is a little steep for an in print album already, but to me I much prefer having my money go straight to bands rather than in the pockets of an investment firm who snatches up mall stores and tries to change their business model; same firm owns such stores as Aeropostale. 

I'm calling all you whiners out next time you purchase a Hot Topic repress of a 12 year old screamo/anthony green/blink 182 album for $20+ dollars. 

Do not scratch laser discs.

Except they made the announcement, it was the joke about laserdiscs

My HMV copy was white.
