Give it a few listens while you drive or walk or do stuff at home. It worked for me and now I am playing it on repeat. I found the start being pretty weird but it is indeed listed in the album tracklising as 3:14 and the video is 2:38 so we indeed got a cut intro.

According to Discogs the deluxe version has those runout groove etchings Matrix / Runout (Runout side A, etched): DRM 018LP A KPG@CA BH97602-01A¹ 0190 295 740191 Matrix / Runout (Runout side B, etched): DRM 018LP B KPG@CA BH97602-01B¹ 0190295740191 Matrix / Runout (Runout side C, etched): DRM 018LP C KPG@CA 0190 295 740 191 BH97602-02C1 Matrix / Runout (Runout side D, etched): DRM 018LP D KPG@CA 0190295 740191 BH97602-02D1 I am waiting for my local to get me my regular version so I cannot cross check. Someone else from here should be able to help though.

So so cool! Thanks for the link. I guess mine didnt come with a test pressing then

So lucky!!! Congrats! Was the test pressing sealed inside the book or it was just put in the mailer? Can you post a pic of it please?

There was this banner on the front page of the store

UGH I dint notice they replaced it with signed black vinyl now

Looks like I can add it in my cart I didnt go further than that though Maybe try again?

Posting this here just because this topic has some big interest from Sleep fans. Signed Dopesmoker sativa colored LP https://www.musicrecordshop.com/sleep-dopesmoker-vinyl-record-2018.html

I have the same feeling Seeing that there are only 2 tracks listed as collaborations then I sense a few more instrumentals besides the Lake Zurich Waiting for more details before placing an order for a bundle that includes the colored version. Shipping in the EU varies by country. Some get the box bundle with 7.99 Euros shipping and some for 46 Euros.

Do we know if the vinyl pressing is identical for the regular packaged version?

Yeah, I forgot to add this one To be honest I am aiming to get the transparent red version but I have to figure out the details My local got several copies but I need to drop by and get the barcode and catalog numbers info and cross check with Discigs

I am a bit confused about the colored variants of this release Discogs has all listed but it is a bit unclear which purple version is available where. Probably just a mix up from the people who made the listing, but here's what's listed so far Red opaque = Europe Red transparent = USA , Canada & Europe Purple opaque = Australia & New Zealand Purple opaque #2 = USA , Canada & Europe Purple marbled = USA , Canada & Europe

I think that a PayPal claim was the way that people got their money back

I am reading at the Sigur Ros forum that these guys are giving a hard time to people who placed orders. Items are not in stock and they are very bad at communication and refunds.

When a record comes unsealed and the vinyl is in a generic inner sleeve but the record label shipping department fails to separate them from the printed inner, then quitting is an one way road

My Alex Somers had a seam split too I am thinking most of them were like this from shipping from UK to USA? I am not particularly pleased about this though

Did tmr sell the split version online?

From the general rsd sale thread

You never know

I think I ordered the 2 Sigur Ros LPs I love you

Bengans shipping confirmation for Arcade Fire. It wasn’t a fast placed order so I wasn’t very optimistic.

Same here The PayPal receipt includes the title of the record ordered (Alex - Untitled) which is also a good thing.
