blue

Yeah I can't listen to it if I have been in a good mood either, which sucks because I really want to listen to his new album but I have been in a good mood lately!

How do you pick up this 7"?

Isn't the For The Win LP on Asian Man? Is the brown color the "cream soda clear" color that is available on the Asian Man Records page or is it an exclusive color?

that's funny because rainbo pressed the o pioneers lp for me and they obviously didn't blend the colors too well and they all have those black/grey/white streaks in them...weird...

It's to bad because they're website shows some very misleading pictures

Anyone know?

I will try to get all the pressing info updated tomorrow.

I know you said trybut am I being a dick for reminding you?

I will try to get all the pressing info updated tomorrow.

About that AJJ record, there are 500 white that went to us, and 500 orange that went to Hot Topic. Dunno why they listed blue, but it doesn't exist.

Sweet! Thanks man!

delayed response?

lol I've been out of town for a while and I had the AJJ 10" waiting for me when I got home.

this will get done soon. it's something i want and i know alot of others want.

i think all labels should do it.

Yeah I completely agree!

Question about the Andrew Jackson Jihad 10", I got my copy from Vinyl Collective and it was on white vinyl and then I just got my copy in the mail from Hot Topic and it was orange yet on your list (http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pxaplWfyq0ZiamycCCEnpOQ) it says that the Hot Topic exclusive color was blue. Were there two Hot Topic exclusive colors?

The original colors... As in black? I'll sell mine, if that's what you meant.

No, the original colors that Mike was expecting from the pressing plant.

Just got my Matt Skiba & Kevin Seconds LPs and they are not as bad as it seems. Sure I would have liked the original colors but oh well. I still give mad props to Mike Park and the gang at Asian Man for putting the money up and pressing these gems

I had a great experience with Rainbo and since they're local no shipping charges for me. I think they did a pretty darn good job with the Cast records. They don't do odd colors though. But that goes to sound > look.

they're backed the fuck up right now with all the major label releases right now. they have been running their machines all day/night to keep up. my friend had tests approved back in august and only got the finish product about 2 weeks ago. theyre also the new plant recordpressing.com are using, them and erika.

If Rainbo is getting so much business then you would think they would expand/hire more so that their quality does not go down, and so that they can keep up with demand. I mean a near four month turn around? That's just insane.

When I got my stuff back from United, it only took about a month max and that was 1100 records, 100 color and 1,000 black. They look and sound great.

Does anyone know if Mike got the "Bomb The Music Industry! - Get Warmer" done splatter variants done at Rainbo? Those look beautiful! Especially the white splats on clear. When I showed it to a buddy of mine who is also a record collector, he was like "kind of looks like a few dudes went nuts...literally!" lmao

and if you cant find everything there check deadformat or asianman's website. They have a listings too

Yeah that's where I started but it is just out of date. Thanks though.

I will go with what Dan said and wait for wardogs to post up the complete.

I love it when friends come over and they oogle at my collection and then are like "why in the hell do you have the same record ten times?!" and I could be like "look they're different colors" and then they will be all like "oooooooo....ahhhhhh" and then all will be good.

honestly, i'm not trying to be a dick here, so if it comes off like that i'm sorry...

i really hope that's not why you collect vinyl, to impress your friends. i mean, don't get me wrong, i collect variants, too, and with Alkaline Trio's Remains i own literally more than 15 copies of it, but it's for ME, not for my friends.

i'm just sayin' is all...

Oh no I know. I collect for me for sure. It's just fun when friends come over. We all love and collect music but I am pretty much the only one to collect the same record more than a few times just because it may be on a different label or even a different color of wax.

As much as I love the music Mike spits out of Asian Man, he really needs to start going to Pirate Press. I'd pay a little extra if thats what it takes.

Also, if I ordered Color 2 which translates into green, is it possible to get white in stead? Or are they sold out?

Yeah I was going to say Pirates would be Mike's best bet. Now that they seem to have a little more cash flow to be doing vinyl I say they ditch Rainbo. Not to mention, Pirates is local and they could drive into the City to pick up the records couldn't they? Might save them a few bucks?

also, there are two versions of the original black MICF, one with orange labels and a rarer one with black labels

Then I guess I am looking for both lol

im glad i dont like or collect alkaline trio. this is getting out of hand. pressing 5 and 6 variants of albums that arent even their best releases is stupid. they are totally milking their fans now. i think its terrible that this keeps happening

I disagree. Record collecting is just a hobby, all though an expensive one at that! lol

Thanks Andrew! Very helpful. Now I just need to write out everything on these stickers I made to put on the paper sleeves for my collection! lol

So, I have most of Asian Man's releases on vinyl (though I am missing three records, but that's for another thread...) and I was wondering if anyone here has kept track of all the pressing information for each release, as in, what pressing, what cover, and what color vinyl.

If anyone could come forward with any information they have, that would be fantastic!

I think all of you could agree, Mike and the rest of his staff have been working their butts off to get these records out to us but along the way have not had the time to update the website with all the pressing information and, I will admit, I have lost track and have not kept!

Thanks in advance! Peace, love and unity to all!
