I have an extra copy I’d sell…drop me a line!

Yes, the ValueMailers are good quality. Been buying them for many years a d usually buy 100-200 at a time, as well as their pads.

Almost Here (FBR 25th Anniversary Silver Vinyl) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08SB6QN9R/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_D5N2HKPTM744MHD8K27A

The Stereo - Three Hundred would be the best early record they can press...hands down. This IS classic FBR.

It’s called supply and demand...more people want/buy records now than 15-25 years ago...

Same...one single piece of tape that didn’t reach the sides with no pads inside. The flimsy paper sleeve/jacket is called a picture sleeve btw.

Bought....great band...What up Z?

Ah....Drew said it perfectly!

I have an extra copy of Orange if anyone wants to trade for something in their collection...PM me!

Finally got it...only 13 1/2 months later...

Hey @scottheiseland @jhulud — I got mine about 10 days ago...maybe because I know the label well they sent it earlier? You’ll get it soon...they’re on top of things.

🤣

Got my HHV order (after being delivered to the wrong apartment, many buildings away) and was in perfect condition (#1318). Thanks to those nice Colorado snowbirds for bringing it over!

$52.64 with the cheapest shipping — grabbed it...

Estupido...

Yes, I got mine a while back...

The jacket is numbered, you have no idea when that record was pressed on that particular set of stampers...

Bob, I tried to license Example from Sony a few years ago to no avail. I worked with Subrosa, whom For Squirrels renamed themselves to post-accident and album release in 96/97.

Today we found out that the COVID-19 pandemic was a hoax perpetrated by Relapse Records and the band Nothing to delay the world so that they can come up with 52,000 variant names of the Great Dismal. Note: Please do not take this as a truth...

Frankly, this guy has no clue about record pressing, the industry, pressing plants and quality control. I was an Ops Manager at a pressing plant and run a label. I would say that I’m more fit to talk about these issues. This man, as a consumer (nervously listening to new records and looking for issues) is exactly the type of person who needs a new hobby and/or needs to switch back over to CDs. Most new pressings are generally decent. There are good and bad pressings from every plant. It’s ridiculous to say that everything from GZ or URP or Third Man is crap. I have great pressings from all of these places. I also have shitty pressings from what are known as the “better” plants around the world that will remain unnamed. It’s the nature of the format. Things happen along each step of record making that effect a pressing. Sometimes even while on the press, things change drastically within 5-10 records...Every plant basically has the same QC method. It’s how they’re enforced that sets aside quality. Also, every job that hits the press is generally “rushed” to move on to the next job...it’s always been this way and will always be this way. Color contamination is a joke...learn about the extruder and nozzle first before you even talk about a spec of black or another color in your record. It’s the most annoying complaint and non-issue that exist in vinyl pressing. Rant done...

Just ordered one now...
