Took me a few hours to swallow my will power and ask: is the self-loathing worth the extra $8 for a second order? Turns out yes, yes it is.

Got both, Space Desert is going in the foil-stamped black sleeve, 180g for playback. I will listen to Mars Volta’s Scratched in the Comatorium 25x to atone.

It’s up!

There better be an announcement for SCF on 10.21.21

Mine is too, and noisy as hell. And yes, bring on the Pink Lemonade. I think I'm brave enough to try some of that.

The Penance and the Patience 4 variants up on their Bandcamp: https://closureinmoscow.bandcamp.com/album/the-penance-and-the-patience V1 - Black (edition of 200) V2 - Milky clear w/smoke effect & dark blue swirl (edition of 350) V3 - Rusty red / red splatter on bone (edition of 350) V4 - Dark red / yellow with black marble (edition of 100) First Temple 5 variants also on their Bandcamp: https://closureinmoscow.bandcamp.com/album/first-temple-remastered V1 - Light/neon pink w/orange splatter (250) V2 - Cream w/orange splatter (250) V3 - Orange crush (250) V4 -

The swirl effect looks waaay better than splatter, IMO. Especially on DTGL.

Revolver sent an email update. Vinyl is in hand, but the colorways turned out a bit different from the mockups: They’re offering cancellations for the next 72 hours.

24 hours?

Preemptive complaint for something I know was shipped loose in a whiplash. But question for anyone that has dealt with USPS customer service. Ever have to deal with a typo in your address? One digit off in the street number (my fat finger). Concerned it’ll get sent back as invalid address, and I shudder at the idea of this being handled by USPS a second time.

This is the reasonable expectation they keep failing to hit though. And it has absolutely helped with other shipments. I don’t think anyone can expect guarantees or seatbelt laws to save the day. Gotten 4 records from Take This To Heart/Parting Gift. 3 of them damaged. 2 with seem splits but no damage to the mailer. The 4th was a 10”. There is a pattern here. Distance to destination could be a factor too (I’m on west coast).

…yah, it’s still funny.

If it helps, Revolver’s automated response is a screener that requires you to reply with the your support request (again). If you don’t reply to their automated response, they won’t follow up. If you already did that, then I wouldn’t stop trying until they deliver ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thought so, but my Revolver order just got a shipping number too. It’s even moving...

Same with my Revolver copy, was in the grooves too. Was able to get it out easily enough, but how many problems can one release have? Asking rhetorically here.
