I don't know if this is a pressing error exclusive to the Retail Black but my A-Side is missing tracks 6+7, "I Didn't Want To Join Your Stupid Cult Anyway" and "It Remembers". I've already tweeted the band to give them a heads up but the A Side definitely has a decent amount of dead wax where those two tracks should have been.

Some people have received return labels, some haven't. I fall into the haven't category and I'm not going to press the issue too hard

Me and my buddy both were shipped black when we ordered the Smoke and discussed the same thing. I'll definitely be holding onto my black copy until I receive the correct variant. I'll double earlier comments by saying the black sounds phenomenal, I've already given the entire record a couple spins.

My C/D also has a bit of swirl, I initially thought some fur from my white maltese made it's way past my dust cover. Good to know I'm not alone haha

I honestly can't wait for this record to get here, I preordered the clear variant. I had a couple weeks with the advance copy to review, if anybody was interested in my take on it. http://www.stereokiller.com/newsreviews/article.cfm?Review=SUMAC-What%20One%20Becomes&intarticleid=13769

I also received black variant when I ordered Smoke the night preorders went up. I called the # listed in my confirmation email 877-687-4277. I spoke to a nice representative named Star. She assured me that she'd send the proper variant immediately via UPS Ground and that i'd have it by the middle of next week. Also emailed me a prepaid return label to send the black variant back.
