shenanigans

Post christmas bump. These are mostly album promo posters

Maybe if you left the Ghost Realm you'd be able to go into an actual store.

Bumpity bump

Seems like they're just incredibly slow at getting these out. I got shipping notification yesterday. That's definitely USPS. My guess is with as backed up as they are these shipments of media mail get last priority. I've had things sitting in Albany, NY and Orlando, FL for weeks now.

This too. If you buy a sealed record and don't ask for it to be shipped outside the jacket its on you. Opening sealed records is not general practice.

2 things I do when shipping unsealed records - ship the record outset the jacket and put it in a paper sleeve if it has a printed inner.

Getting printed inner sleeves is pretty disappointing. I think some labels (Fat) are realizing these always get destroyed and are moving away from them.

Selling posters again! Take these off my hands!

Confirmed they sent me the wrong variant. Are all 900 of the color in color #ed? Or just the first 300? Did only the first 300 get the screenprint?

Maybe when I email them I'll ask them where the test press is. Tell them I got a black variant with plain white labels, but no test press

I add releases because I don't like putting things away on the shelf until their in my discogs. I rarely ever edit anything unless its to add pressing info or something like that. Damn. Should have told them you got white and you could send me the orange and I'll send them my white.

Staying all technical - 2019! Hard to believe it's already been a year.

Anybody else order the mega bundle? So much disappointment and I haven't even opened the records yet. There's 115 "test presses" AKA black vinyl versions with no labels. And even though I ordered the mega bundle with the 3 1st press versions (color doesn't matter so much to me) and test presses, I ended up with a 2nd press in my order. Hoping its a mistake and they can correct it, but interested to see if anyone else who ordered the mega bundle got 2nd press copies.

Can assume, or just ask? MakeWar is a Fat band, but they have 3 LPs. 4 including Sad and French since everyone wants to be all technical in this fucking thread. Jesus christ.

Was asking which MakeWar LP. Never Trust A Hippy is an EP...

hudsonia?

Which LP?

Also dealt with one of these people recently. I copied a listing to make a test press and they were like are the credits on the test press? No idiot, but they're on the actual record and they didn't fucking change.

Want a spoiler?

Oh god no. A business has to front the money to run their business? What a terrible idea... Maybe the rather than adding a "second batch" they should have just done a 2nd press...where the pressing comes out months later after it's pressed....

Maybe they should wait to put up the PO until the timeline is more clear...5 months is unacceptable.

Like I said, 2 weeks - not a big deal, almost expected, but some other labels are at 5 months now. The preorders went up in the middle of the pandemic. You don't get to use "we're in the middle of a pandemic" as an excuse for a 5 month delay when you already knew we were in a pandemic when you took people's money. If you put up a preorder in February/March and then had to wait for the records to come from another continent by boat I get it. If you put up a preorder in May you should have already known that was going to happen.

NOFX was on Flight 13 also. You can check there. Green Hell just said "Yel" which could be short for yellow/black split...

Not complaining about a release being 2 weeks late, but I don't think you get to use the "we're in a global pandemic" excuse when you put up a pre-order in the middle of said pandemic.

I'd also add if we're going to do it we should grab both the pallet and the trunk, but looking at the picture of the trunk the tests may not be labeled and that could make figuring out what each one is time consuming
