ok.

They have their own pressing plants but they still used Apollo for their lacquers (Third Man did, anyway).

Counterfeits, not bootlegs.

I prefer to think it is because you are a moron.

Lol you are so far off base it's not even funny. 
Keep buying your CDs on vinyl. We are all sitting in anticipation  to hear your reviews, "tard".

A. Then why bother purchasing.
B. Why bother "reporting back"? 
 

Clear is always top choice for me. Can I ask why you so dislike it? (Genuine curiosity, not trying to pick a fight/be a dick)

Single sleeves
only part that really bummed me out. It would've been nice to have expanded, new artwork.

Yes, Act VI was advertised to be an empty sleeve in the set.  If and when it is released, box set owners get it at a discount.

There was a whole email with a video about it. It's something CC wants to do, but he wants to do it "the right way" (whatever that truly means). He did mention when/ if it is made, boxset purchasers will get some sort of discount.

Everything on side b is reversed, labels and all.

I knew something was up when I noticed the labels on the B side.

The Mars Volta’s old sound guy once referred to us as “meter maids” lmao

I skimmed some sections of the mp3s they sent out switching back and forth version to version and I don't think they really sound all that different but I'm sure some audiophile wizard is gonna step out of the shadows and tell me why I'm wrong lmfao

This! I love It’s All Crazy and I had never heard of them until randomly going to the A-B Life anniversary tour. Their whole discography is special in its own ways. Thankful to finally have this for a reasonable price.

Would throw a dumb amount of money at a deluxe edition and then hibernate for one year while I wait for it to show up.

It’s wishful thinking but I’d love to see a deluxe version alongside a standard repress for those who just want a basic copy, no bells and whistles.  Deluxe could maybe have some demos or unreleased material from the era, if it exists.  Additional liner notes / thoughts on each track.  Maybe bound together in some sort of hardcover edition — nothing as beefy as that [Untitled] deluxe, necessarily, but I’m game for whatever.

Then consider mewithoutCruise.

Weezer did a few. Kiss has been doing one for years and not even playing.  Megadeth had one. They also have cruises of 80s hair bands together.
 
Basically every artist who has an insufferable fanbase decides this is a great idea.
 
I couldn't imagine being anywhere near these
