damn, all those items look sleek as hell. I really dig the b/w artwork for the LP (if that's a thing actually, don't know whether it's just b/w pictures) and the screenprinted posters are super cool, did not expect something like this from Frank. Anyway getting stuff shipped over here goes way beyond my budget, so I guess I'll just be drooling over pics on the web when these are actually in people's hands.

that No Sun PO has its own respective thread already

Is it still marked as "in stock"? If so, hit them up. Their customer service is usually pretty good and quick. It's also possible they have to wait for a back order or something.. I'm sure you don't have to worry either way, they are pretty big here in Germany.

strong Pity Sex vibes indeed, I dig it! The way they ended that song wasn't really exciting though. I'll hold out for some more singles to drop

Euro tour announced. There even is a date rather close to my location, so I'll hopefully catch them in February!

where is all the banter coming from? "I Am King" is, in my opinion, one of the best HC records of the last few years and I always felt that that was pretty much consensus. Is it because they called out that other band for being shitty persons?

I have purchased VD pressings from HHV in the past. So yeah, it's very likely I'd say.

agree about the "outer box" and its flaps not being the toughest of cardboard I have seen, but the inner box does the trick in my opinion. Glad for all of you who can enjoy their copies now. I also agree that a gatefold would have been nice, but as far as I know vinyldigital has never done any of their bootlegs in gatefold anyway. It would probably also cause them to jack up the price a little, so I'm fine with the release as it is.

what do you mean? Is it damaged? My mailer had some small dents as well, but they did an excellent packaging job so I doubt there could have been any damage from shipping. Their mailers are really super sturdy.

couldn't get the embedding thing to work, so here's a hyperlink to a picture I took: Instagram received my copy yesterday. Really decent quality pressing and sleeve: if you own the Drake - If You're Reading This... bootleg they put out, you know what you get. Glossy sleeve with minimalistic artwork and a surprisingly quiet, powerful sounding pressing. My copy seems to be slightly off-center on side B, but it's definitely listenable while all the other sides are pretty much flawless. As per usual from Vinyldigital, the vinyl is clear with some random "clear swirls" and you might even catch some color here and there (my copy has a slight yellow streak which is neat).

US standard retail should be orange, not to be confused with the orange/red starburst variant. I'm not even sure if there is a black press of this after all.

yes, I ordered Blond only and received shipping confirmation yesterday like the others.

the pressing info states "xx for rest of the world" - do we know yet where this can be obtained outside of the US?

just received my standard copy. Beautiful packaging and awesome artwork throughout - much more expansive than that of s/t, which I dig. Just put on the record and it turns out it actually doesn't sound like ass, but rather the opposite. It's not the quietest pressing, but sometimes you also can't really tell whether it's surface noise or some kind of weird synth going on in the track. I'm stoked!

I haven't noticed this issue with my copy.

just happened to me earlier this week while I was playing cards with some friends. It's totally listenable, turning all the "lighthearted" melodies into a gloomy, drone-y atmosphere.

Sounds like it's pressed off-center.

that booklet is part of the standard edition w/o the bonus 12", right? I wouldn't want to miss out on that additional artwork and the printed lyrics of course. Been pumping this all day via spotify, just perfect atmosphere for this early autumn season.

It was definitely the one that made me go like "good lord" upon first listen. Reminiscent of the weird 80s-infused balladesque feeling that "Beth/Rest" off of s/t had. I love it and I'm glad to have ordered a copy of this on vinyl.

can anyone comment on the pressing and sound quality of the standard black or any pressing?

ordered Blonde. Hopefully I wasn't too late.

finally a new discount code! FALL15 - 15% off every order, good until midnight 9/30

need that Blonde boot. I'll keep my eyes on this thread. Thanks for the heads up even if it has also disappeared again.

the 2LP version is just the "regular" album. The demos are only included in the box set on an additonal LP.
