Clear variant up for pre-order on Urban Outfitters:

https://www.urbanoutfitters.com/shop/kehlani-it-was-good-until-it-wasnt-limited-lp?color=100&size=ONE SIZE&type=REGULAR&quantity=1
 

Not sure what happened with the pre-orders on her webstore back in May (I heard they got delayed from August until October or something?). I ended up canceling my pre-order from her webstore, but I’ll probably pick up this new variant.  

Ahhhh so excited for this! Gonna try for that haze or color in color.

Decided to pick this up. Got free shipping and 5% off with my RedCard, plus Target doesn't charge until they ship. Color choice doesn't really go with the album art but I actually like the color combo chosen. Other Target exclusives that I own sound great so I'm sure this will sound just fine. 

The milky clear variant I purchased last week arrived today. Spinning now and it sounds great! Not sure why it hasn't sold out yet since it was only limited to 300, someone probably ordered like 100 and they caught it and cancelled their order or maybe more than 300 copies were made. Honestly doesn't matter to me lol I'm happy to own this record.

Really haven't been doing too great either. I'm grateful to still have a job, but working from home and being surrounded by 4 other family members 24/7 is driving me insane. There's so much tension in the world right now, people don't even need a reason to start shit. It seems like every day someone in my family blows up and creates a huge argument. I haven't enjoyed being in this much of a negative environment but I know I'm in a better situation than a lot of other people. I definitely need to get out for a few days, but I don't want to risk getting infected or be one of "those" people who are out living their best lives like nothing is happening.

I really love this album. They also released a picture disc and indie blue variant. I picked up the indie variant but its pretty noisy and not impressive. Any one pick up a copy of this on black and can comment on the sound quality?

I've been listening to this album on repeat for the last 2 weeks, so figured I needed to pick up a copy on vinyl. I also got the 180g blue indie exclusive and think it sounds pretty good! I was slightly bummed I missed the deluxe variant but I hate the PVC sleeve so the indie exclusive is a nice alternative in my opinion.

Heads up milky clear back in stock

Thank you! I hadn’t picked up a copy yet and was bummed I missed out on this variant. Appreciate it! 

I did have a photo of the record itself in the listing. The buyer sent me some more photos, I'm unsure if it's the item I sold them or not as it was hard to tell from the lighting but we came to a resolution and they accepted a 50% refund minus shipping costs and I let them keep the item. I didn't really want the record back if it is in fact damaged so although I'm out a few bucks I'm glad we were able to come up with a solution that worked for both of us. Thanks for all the advice. I wish eBay had better seller protection policies though.

I appreciate all the advice. I just asked for some more pictures and videos from the buyer to determine if the item I sold them in fact has scratches and it isn't a different item they took a picture of. I will also likely try to get eBay customer service on the phone and see what my options are. But if my only option is to just refund them and have them return the item then I guess that's okay since it was only $14. This whole situation is becoming more a headache than it's actually worth, so I'm not gonna spend too much time on this.

Wondering if anyone could offer some advice or experienced this before:

I sold a record on eBay on August 17th (I bought this album brand new, played it one time and never spun again, still in shrink wrap and everything). Someone swooped in at last minute to bid on the item and payed immediately. I shipped out the record the same day. They just received it about an hour ago and messaged me saying there is a "large scratch" on side B that causes skipping in half the songs. I know this is not true as I played it once before and no skipping occurred, and I visually inspected the record before shipping it to make sure there were no flaws. I don't offer returns/refunds on my eBay so I'm unsure how to approach this situation. They are threatening to open an INR against me and were extremely rude in their message. I have 100% positive feedback on my eBay and don't want something like this to affect future sales but at the same time I don't want to allow a return if they are a scammer. The item was only $14 so not a lot. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Edit: They just sent me a photo of the scratch  but from the picture I can tell that's not the record I sold them. The coloring is off.

Just picked up that black/purple split. Looks like it doesn't ship until around 10/30 though.

Not sure if this has already been posted elsewhere but No Sleep Records is having a 50% off sale on all non pre-order items. Some things are sold out but still a bunch of stuff available. I picked up a copy of La Dispute - Wildlife on vinyl plus a keychain and stickers for like $24 shipped.

Really digging the new song, but yeah I agree I wish they would explain what “deluxe” means aside from the alt artwork and 180g vinyl. Maybe an extra song(s)? Really like the white w/ purple splatter variant though, I think it fits the album artwork best. Curious to know if there will be an indie exclusive variant as well. 

Walmart Exclusive Red up for pre-order. There's like 5 or 6 different variants now.

Wow there's some great titles in there and everything seems to be reasonably priced. Gonna try for the Lydia test press. 

Man this has been such a shit show. Someone is definitely getting fired for this. Gonna be upset if I don't end up getting the swirl I ordered since the merch I ordered along with it was a pre-order.

That’s true. Urban had the best pressing of her last album. Maybe they will have a cool one this time too. Then I won’t be bummed about missing the Spotify version. 

Spotify variant back up! Also there is an HMV exclusive variant in red.

Is there a new link? Original still says sold out.

I got the email from Spotify that it is limited to 2,000. The link is the same though. Maybe they are updating their inventory from what’s already sold and will make them available again soon.

Submitted a ticket the day they went on sale, haven’t heard anything since. Guess I’ll submit another ticket. What a shit show. 

That’s super annoying, their customer service needs to get their shit together. Hopefully you can get a response soon.

Damn. The Spotify one sold out while I was checking out. 

  I don't know if there was limit placed on how many of the spotify variant you could purchase but if there was and some people went over that limit or if they have some cancellations some more might pop up. I would keep checking!

Sandbag continues to be the worst, least reliable distributor ever. They still haven't refunded my PayPal from the first day where they "couldn't process my order" causing me to miss out on the splatter. Then at the bottom of the email it states "If you have any questions, reply to this email or contact us at [email protected]". Hmmm, replying to a no-reply email, sounds about right. So, what the hell, I follow their instructions. Then immediately get an auto-response email saying this isn't a monitored inbox. *face palm*

I had the same thing happen when I contacted them to cancel one of the items in my order. That email isn't monitored so you have to go to this link and submit a ticket. They got back to me via email and refunded me within a couple days. They also didn't refund me the associated taxes for the item so I had to reply to them and ask them to do that as well. Was kind of annoying that I had to do this a roundabout way but I got my money back.

Picked up the Spotify exclusive variant. Loved the new single “Daisies” and I think this is going to be a great album!

did you get a shipping confirmation email or did it just show up?

I got a shipping confirmation via email on Sunday!

Anyone get their vinyl yet? My copy of Forever Halloween just arrived today, super impressed with how fast it got shipped out!
