That sucks. They had me send my copy back “for system and stock purposes” in order to process the exchange even though I ordered a copy from Brooklyn Vegan and Hard Times. I’m skeptical they can get it right but claimed they can fulfill the orders. ”Yes, we will be able to fulfill your order for STRETCH ARM STRONG ‘RITUALS OF LIFE’ LP (Furnace Fest Exclusive – Only 500 made, Clear w/ Blue, Black, and White Marble Vinyl) and BrooklynVegan will be able to fulfill your order for STRETCH ARM STRONG ‘RITUALS OF LIFE’ LP (Limited Edition – Only 200 made, Blood/Black Swirl Vinyl).”

Update: Iodine confirmed it was a warehouse mixup when I asked on IG. Told me Project M sent the following for people to contact them: “You can point people to: mailto:[email protected] mailto:[email protected] mailto:[email protected]”

Believe so. I ordered that version as well but it hasn’t shipped from BV who were selling that specific colorway. Hard Times sent the FF version that I received yesterday. Same company but none of my current copies have any external identification as to variant plus the barcodes are identical.

Has anyone received the FF variant of Rituals of Life yet? My copy had the obi but the blood/black color vinyl inside.

Stretch Armstrong: I received the Furnace Fest edition from The Hard Times w/ the Obi strip but the blood/black swirl was inside (same color as the Brooklyn Vegan variant that I placed a separate order for but had not shipped yet). I sent an email to get the FF variant sent in place of the unshipped BV variant. A copy came from DW (gold/galaxy- looks great) and all of the copies have the same barcode and no external information identifying what version in inside.

Just got shipping notification and I appreciate the quick turnaround time.

Having all the b-sides together makes it worth it for me. I love a thorough reissue.

I think direct to consumer preorders and whatever stores request as per usual. The site says 401 locations and I assume they get a solicitation for each release. Had to get the Fire Theft in a shop because I dragged on the preorder.

I plan to attend the Detroit date next week. I went to the Numero pop up at Third Man Cass Corridor a few years back. Tons of deals as well as stuff not available online, and should be a similar experience this time with even more vendors. I think if you like these labels then it’ll be worth checking out.

I was pleasantly surprised to find my copy included a tip-on sleeve when the order arrived today. A nice touch to match the design.

I want to say they had the 20th anniversary versions available until recently - hope they keep them in print and do the split with the Get Up Kids again as I never picked it up.

The preorder aspect is nice - get it to people who are interested ala run out groove. If only they would offer a voting system for releases that haven’t been around a while to gauge interest (number one pick for me would be Get Your Goat).

Crazy deal. Was just watching old videos of them from Krazyfest when A Flight and A Crash had just come out. *nostalgia intensifies*

The 7 Songs EP came back in stock on red after it sold out day one, likely this will be back on green due to demand. Glad they are doing more titles in a color that reflects aspects of the cover art.
