I didn't bash you, i bash the vinyl community. Sorry if it sounded the first way. Of course you make the most hyped variants to sell the most copies. I just don't get the why behind it. It looks awful compared to even single solid colors. Also don't really understand the plants and why don't they discontinue splatter on solid colors? it is always come out awful.

 

But whatever new cis in 13 years, can't fucking wait.

I wasnt taking it as bashing, apologies if I came off as defensive, just providing some clarity from the literal person who comes up with 90% of variants for our label and orders them.
The reality is that the amount that splatters, or any version of a splatter, sell higher than a solid/single color is honestly very staggering, especially in the age of social media where 50-75% of people buying vinyl are literally just buying the coolest looking variant to post on social media.
I as well am not a huge fan of splatters on solids, I very rarely do them unless they are part of a half/half or in an aside.bside.

Yes, new CIS, album rules. These aren't even the 2 best songs from it, in my opinion.

BBB lists it as BBB/RT exclusive.

that is correct, there was a miscommunication during set up. BBB has half, rough trade has half.

I’m fine with PN in general and am hoping for a sick CIS Drug Church tour… just an awful lot of spatters and colors for a pretty minimal cover is all.

🤷‍♂️ Band specifically wanted a lot of random colors because the art was so minimal.

My original suggested variants were more black, white and grey themed.

This! When will the ugly-ass splatter mania dies off?

when people stop buying them more than any other variant? I put hundreds of variants into production a year,  not just making them up randomly.

I cannot tell a lie I wish this was not a silly PN variant release. Still bought a copy to see what’s up.

Album rips and anyone who wants to buy it is able to, whats the problem?

Looking to thin out my collection a bit

$20 PPD to US, will ship outside US but you have to cover shipping costs over $5

5 random 7"s

or 2 random LPs

Do I need this? No.
Did I order it? Yep.

Both the shows this weekend were amazing!

 

They didn’t have the band only pressing of the re-recorded EOTW yet, still waiting on them to ship. 

 

If anyone is going to a show later on the tour and willing to snag a tour pressing for me, I’d greatly appreciate it! 
 

 

Tour pressings won’t be available till next year

too bad there is no pre-order for us folks in Europe (no, UK is not Europe )

The standard and uk/eu exclusive will be up on impericon

Hmmm. So the ones that went on sale are the regular version yeah? I might pick up a variant of the re-recorded later depending on how it turns up.

The recent pressing by Hassle was just a standard licensed reissue of the original version of the album.

`'We decided to re record EOTW first and foremost to be as cool as Taylor Swift, but secondly because we wanted to be able to repress the vinyl and offer it to fans that haven’t been able to get it since the record came out." says Alan Day.  He continues "It was really interesting to revisit all of the songs down to every detail, getting to kind of relive it in a way. We recorded the drums with Will Putney (who worked on the original EOTW as a engineer), did the rest by ourselves at Dans house, and then had Will work his magic on it and mix and master it. We had just worked with Will for the first time since 2010 on our new album Brain Pain, and figured it would be perfect to work with Will as he knows FYS old and new more than anyone. So give it a listen, come out to the tour, and party like it’s 2010 again."

Is this really not getting a US distributor... I want this enough to pay $52 for it, but I'm not ready to pay that just yet.

I never said anything specially on this particular release, and/or about releasing b-sides in general.

I said what i said about pointless deluxe editions with bedroom demos, acoustic tracks etc which can be perfect to have digitally. In those cases the sole reason from the label/band is to make a pop with zero effort involved. It is just not fair against the buyer of the og version especially in this economic situation. 

On the other hand you could have just released the b-sides as a standalone entity, and you wouldn't double charge someone who really wants to buy it for the album.

And yes I never released anything, this is just a regular buyer talking who is fed up with 30 dollar single LPs and yes it's not your fault either. So all in all in, sorry it was never against your/the label. 

Perhaps I got overly worked up and offended, for that I apologize.

In this very particular case, this is exactly how the band wanted to release the product and they have final say over anything we put out of theirs. The standard edition is still very widely available as well, but they did not want to do the bsides/acoustic songs as their own release.

In regards to a $30 LP,  we aren't at $30 for a single LP  but we try to keep our prices as low as possible, but in a post covid world production costs have soured and unfortunately there's only so low we can go.

Anything real to contribute? 

The only reason this version of the album happened is because the band wanted to do it. They like the b-sides and the acoustic versions and wanted it pressed and wanted to re-vamp the physical packaging.

Saying this has zero effort from the band/label is just flat out ignorant and disrespectful quite honestly, many people (myself included) worked very hard to make this version of the record.

If you don't like it or think its stupid then just don't buy it but no need to throw around disrespectful comments when you have zero knowledge of what it takes to put out something like this, or any record quite frankly.

 The label's sole intention with these is to make it more desirable again, and also want to milk the same people again who has the og version, and yet these songs never really worth anything at all, and has zero effort from the band/label. 

 

LOL

I saw the tease. I saw 11 EST. So I tried to manage my time at work so I was ready at least by 10:50. I was too busy to check periodically over the hour before haha. 

No big deal. I've been lucky with albums going live earlier than the aforementioned time over the last few years. Can't win 'em all! 

as a general statement we always make our preorders live at 10am EST, most of the most people don't notice because it isnt advertised. The 11EST was when the actual announce was scheduled to happen.

14 minutes ago, INRIhab said:

So did this go live early? I went on lunch just before 11 EST and the PN1 is gone already. 

all our preorders go live before the announce so we can troubleshoot any issues, the band teased it last night so people jumped on it.

Must've been my lucky day, or I'm about to get a cancellation email, hahahaha.

They have a beautiful press of Seeyouspacecowboy's album, got it a few weeks back, it definitely looks like the mock, you can expect to be amazed.

the SYSC ones are actual pictures of the records. We didn't go live until we had them in hand.
