Repress of First Temple as well. Good thing, my copy from Equal Vision is warped to shit. Now I just need them to repress Pink Lemonade after YEARS of saying they would.

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.

I still like the way they came out!

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.

How long before they do the green hair variant?

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.

Could an extra piece of cardboard made them slightly more secure? Sure.

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).

I Don't know. My gold/black swirl arrived today though.

…yah, it’s still funny.

Anyone that still doesn't get a shipping confirmation from revolver? they also don't reply to any email lol

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...

…with even traces of glue on the outer ring.

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.

So I didn't end up watching the first two of these and I'm just curious as to what the set is. Are they going to play this full album front to back or do they just have a random setlist heavily influenced by this album or how does it go. Watching it either way but I was just curious.

I wouldn’t mind the mockup setlist in the bundle.

Just got mine today. It's also a gatefold. Has a glossy finish which is different from the non-deluxe releases.

Didn’t realize the standard release wasn’t gatefold. Some photos of the deluxe if anyone else is curious.

the only people who are REALLY mad in this situation - enough to send an email to get a refund -  are those that are trying to flip, so fuck em. 

Maybe,  but what if one of the next 7 variants just looks way cooler to someone? I don’t think that’s the case here, but there have been other examples recently (also with Equal Vision). Edit: Case in point below. Transparency was key if this wasn’t about profiting off the fomo.

To quote Mitch Hedberg for no reason: “…because I did not know that there was a second part to the question.”

Pardon me if this should be obvious, but what is the difference in the packaging/vinyl of the deluxe vs. standard issues of this album? I haven’t been able to find anything other than a $10-12 price difference. 
Thanks in advance. 

Glow in the dark cover, from what I can tell.

Anyone who ordered this, did it indicate on the email what fulfillment company Velocity is using? Very curious as if they’re handling it themselves, which I doubt, but probably Second City or Merch Direct.

MerchNow. At the bottom of the email that’s where they’re pointing for support.
 

If you have any questions, reply to this email or contact us at [email protected]

Also got an email from SendOwl but that’s just for digital products.

In an ideal world, if I happen to get a copy that doesn't look like a cat attacked it, I'd store each ring in a 7"/10"/LP-sized inner dust sleeve. Still waiting on my second copy from Revolver but have very low expectations

Managed this with 10” and 12”, but the 7” wouldn’t fit into its slot with a dust sleeve on it. Looks dumb as hell, but gets the job done.

Are they really only selling these through the EU store?

They’re up on US store. Still free shipping, but $66 total 😕

If I were more like you I bet people would like me a lot more. 

Honestly with how pretentious these posts are, being liked seems really important to you.

I don’t agree with you at all, but I want you to know - I like you.

Same!

Don't know why, but I thought this wasn't supposed to be out until closer to the end of the month; still waiting for shipping confirmation on my order.

Still waiting too, ordered two minutes into the drop.

Really jealous of those of you who have the record in-hand.

This could be salting the wound, but clear w/pink & blue turned out gorgeously. Sounds great with a few pops (haven't deep cleaned yet).  Glow-in-dark features may not have enough exposure, but I ain't gonna leave this in the sun.

Are people still waiting on these? 

Still waiting on Revolver boxset here. No word since February when it shifted to “first week of April”.

So, I did a google search as well as Discogs and couldn't really find any "good" info. What's the deal with the first pressing of that record? 

Sleeve basically eroded the grooves. Some painful memories here, then basic info from the  Wiki:

This first pressing is known for its PVC sleeve which caused a chemical reaction and damaged the record within it.

But that’s exactly some bullshit Glassjaw would pull.

This. Let’s not forget Worship and Tribute’s first press. Almost won a Grammy for a design that destroyed the record. Great concept, awful execution.
