I absolutely had to scoop up the Guru album this month but I'm really intrigued by this month's release. Might have to get it next month depending on the next ROTM.

I did the same thing.

Read this. Best of luck! 

Anyone know anything or have a link to a bio of Ayalew Mesfin?

So I'm finding more and more often that the sticker on my new LPs are off center... makes my OCD itch. What's the thinking on this in general? Is it better to leave the sticker alone, or peel it off and do without? Anyone know of a good printable sticker kit to make replacements?

It annoys me when the label is off center, but I wouldn't recommend removing it. I also wouldn't make replacements. If you remove the label or try to replace it, you'll probably decrease the value of the record.  

Use a razor and trim any parts of the label that obstruct the sound. Leave the rest however it happened to be placed. 

Sooo....  I'm heading to Naples tomorrow. I looked around online and found a place named Epic Records & Tapes. Any good?

Really like this band but the deluxe is stuffed full of useless tatt. Just give me a well pressed LP and charge me extra for an autograph if you wish, and I am happy.

This could not be more correct. I don't require a harmonica.

Purchased at Rather Ripped Records in Brookline, PA...

Amazon warehouse deals...

I'm not sure and it's hard to say.  In 16 months I've only gotten one and it was in a replacement record. 

Well that's about the frequency I've experienced. Almost same amount of time, and I've only received one (in the St Vincent record). If you're still looking for it, let me know.

I think it's almost every month with some months not having one. 

Gotcha. What's the chances of getting one? How many released? 

What's the frequency of the secret 7" releases? I got one for the first time recently, and I must admit, I didn't even know this promotion/program existed. 

Thanks to the Vinyl Deals thread:

You know how a regular record is just one solid piece of vinyl that's pressed together right? Picture discs are all thicker because they split those two pieces of vinyl and sandwich them on the actual paper picture thing that you can see. In addition to this the vinyl isn't just split it's actually a smaller amount on each side or picture discs would be even thicker. So because each side has a smaller layer of vinyl to play the recording off of they generally sound more noisy than normal records.

 

Makes sense. Thanks for the run down. As for my name (VinylSandwich), I just really like sandwiches. But the relation to this discussion is uncanny.

The thread on here is full of people complaining about split copies you just got lucky. Thanks for the audio feedback.

Gotcha. Well better the sleeve busted than the record. As for picture discs, I honestly didn't realize they were all the same weight. I don't have many.

I'm curious to listen to BFT more and see if the audio is crappier due to the pretty fishes on it. Have you ever found a picture disc that sounded on par or better than regular vinyl?  Or is degraded sound the resounding norm?

Both my copies of Atrocity Exhibition are split all over the place to be fair. Those plastic sleeves are all garbo.

 

Also pic discs come one way there's no heavyweight picture discs they're all thick like that. You complimented the one reason everyone is complaining and then got mad over the tiniest thing that doesn't matter lol. Just found it to be a bit silly.

Fair enough. Reading your thoughts, I suppose mine were a bit silly. Although, my Atrocity Exhibition garbage plastic sleeve isn't split at all. Maybe you need a third copy. 

My "signed" insert came tossed between the album and the cardboard box sort of bent up. A sticker was hanging half off the album that I suppose someone was attempting to attach the insert to the album with - failure. 

The other thing that shows the lack of craps given to this pressing is that the plastic sleeve was cracked and broken along the spine. I think the records possibly caused it to break - along with the general cheapness of it. I have a few other records in plastic outer sleeves that are much better quality. For example, "Atrocity Exhibition" by Danny Brown has a plastic sleeve that's holding up. 

Overall, the packaging is a turd.

On the upside, the records are heavyweight and so far they sound pretty good (for being picture discs). 

Crabs in a bucket. 

I just got my shipping confirmation. Bring that DAMN vinyl with the squiggly looking KL on it to Pittsburgh!

Same here. Hey, that signature takes time. 

I do not love, nor do I admire, $39.99 plus shipping.

Does anyone here own the Sabbath exclusive/care to speak on the sound quality/pressing?

I have it. I don't perceive anything but excellent metal. My three year old keeps saying he's iron man. 

As for Betty Davis...     https://www.sadtrombone.com/

Went cheap and ordered signed CD with shirt...have Paypal receipts but never received any type of order confirmation email at time of purchase...did anyone else?

 

i emailed them about it recently and they just said that stuff is shipping out last week and this week and totally ignored my question about the order confirmation email. 

 

Bad feeling on this one...

I just checked the confirmation email that I got when I purchased the autographed vinyl. It says, "If your order contains the DAMN. Limited Edition Autographed CD, your order is expected to ship on or around May 19, 2017. If your order contains the DAMN. Limited Edition Autographed Vinyl, your order is expected to ship in July 2017."
