My Bullmoose order arrived yestersday. I A/B'd it last night with my original pressing and it sounds very similar to my ears. 
I'd say the original is cut a little louder, and the instrument separation and clarity is a little better with the new pressing, but as I said, only very marginally. 
 
 
 

Mine says lucky, pretty much nothing on the record other than that and asb-142-a/b for the release catalog 

Maybe the song or the 12" Frances the Mute will be included this time making it one of the selling points? Judging from Cloud Hills' release policy it would not surprise me to see even a new 3LP reissue of that album with the track included instead of the etching...

Haven't logged in here in ages. Came to post about the tour pressings but I see Scott did it already (thanks!)
In regards to the cloudy clear. I admit it's a little foolish in retrospect.
3 things
1) its a different matrix. Original pressings look handwritten. This new press is the typed style.
2) if you hold them up together - there is a difference. Clear is straight up clear. 
3) new press has a hype sticker saying cloudly clear / original press has zero hype sticker. 
 
There's always going to be people who foolishly try and sell a record for more than its "worth" - so if you're in the market for the original press on clear be sure to ask those details.

I can't imagine adults listening to Mad Caddies

I'll try to keep this short, so let's go.
 
About a year ago I was fed up with intl shipping prices and the new EU tax law, that you have to pay tax (it's 27% here in Hungary) on everything you order, it is especially disgsuting that the amount is calculated on the item + shipping total, so basically a 20-dollar record with the least awful scenario of a 20-dollar shipping would end up in my hands  for a whopping $50,8 which came to the point that collecting is becoming unsustainable. This is when I dug into mail forwarding services, and after about 5-6 shipments without any issues I can confidently say that it's a game changer.
 
Disclaimer: please look into it yourself with your country details etc.
 
So the process is I'm using ship7.com who has a warehouse in Delaware (tax free US state), I ship my records there mostly for free or cheap media mail, I have up to 60 days free period (after that it has a small fee)to wait for multiple packages and then I ship them out to Hungary together for way cheaper than it would be  directly from the labels/stores would be, not to mention you can get US indie exclusives, get stuff from stores that only ship to the US etc.. (Also, this is up to how rulefollower you are you can play with declared value, but then again it might be risky, so it's on you to do it or not, but alone saving on shipping is huge, saving on tax is enermous). Obviously inserting a middleman is always a risk, as you have no help from the place you bought the record anymore after if arrives to the warehouse, but I was at a point of either this risk or selling off my collection. the rant stops now, here are some pictures of my last 10-record (teamed up with a friend for HIL, that's why only 9 records pictured) shipment and a sheet about the savings.
 




 
  

Use ship7's mail forwarding service.  you mediamail it to their us storage then you can undervalue it to declare less tax and ship it for a way more reasonable price from them.
( I'm waiting for a 10 record order from various labels from them right now for 80 dollars total of shipping which would be a lot more if i ordered from the labels directly.)

Yeah I think you're right. Gotta just assume the people on Reddit were mega dumb then.

I don't think it is a lathe cut. The center labels have pressing rings and a deeper stamper "indentation" (cannot remember what the actual term is). I see a longer runout etching in these pics. I don't think somebody would do that on 1000 copies manually.
Edit:
Preorder description says "produced at Studio 4 Vinyl." .They are not offering lathe cuts from what I can see.

Didn't realize it was resealable - opened it up and yes it is this one.

Some AK3 news that may be of interest: I saw them with Bad Religion the other day in Philly and got to talk to Derek and Dan out behind the venue for a little bit. Derek told me a Good Mourning vinyl reissue is in the works for the 20th anniversary next year.
He said they were thinking of doing it as a double 10" or maybe even an expanded version with the demos and stuff. Said he wanted it to be a deluxe thing. I asked him to lobby for the inclusion of that leaked "Angel Alcohol" / "Everywhere I Wanna Go" demo, and he said he'd try. He also told me the actual title of that song was "So Good To Be Here".
Just some info I thought people here may appreciate.

Thank you! I've had a couple of bad experiences with JPC, but will check out Flight 13!
