shenanigans

Is anyone else bothered by the giant fucking parental advisory logo on Bsides?! Like where did they take this image from? I literally have 12x12 flats from when this album came out with no parental advisory logo on it that they could have scanned.

Finally got mine. Right variants on each, but no additional stuff. I know I got my order in with the first 300, but mine are numbered 396, and I’m bummed I didn’t get that alt artwork. At this point I’m just glad to have these goddamn records.
 
I just hope none of my favorite acts work with this dumb label again. The amount of buffoonery surrounding this release is top notch garbage. I knew the second that I saw it was smartpunk that this shitshow would blow chunks and be late, but never thought it’d be this flurry of misinformation and bad service. Fingers crossed that these pressings don’t sound as bad as some earlier reviews I’ve read.

And I slept in. 10AM EST is kinda early... (for a PST guy)

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.

I always ask for records to be shipped outside sleeves, and that has almost completely eliminated it for me (even though I'm all the way in New Zealand). 
I figure if I always ask, and they don't do it and damage happens, that's on them and I did everything I could to avoid it - and I feel justified in asking for a new cover.

Since it seems like nobody has come in here and said it yet...maybe don't be such a baby about it?
 
Like...unless its a big company like amazon, or you specifically requested it be shipped outside its cover get over it. Shit happens in transit.

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.

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.

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.

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

My favorite recent test press story is how the ‘test press’ copies of the new Matt Berninger album were produced and arrived with a delay AFTER every other variant was produced and delivered. Risky move to not get your test presses and check for audio flaws until after the entire run of vinyl is finished. 😁

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.

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.

I suppose I'm the right person to answer the question. Sorry, I've been slammed with work. 
The recent Make War album on Fat on color. Happy to work a swap.  It is the Fat 2020 release that I regretted missing. 
 
Thanks for the ask. 

Which color did you get?

Fuck that guy.

yup, thats him. 

same here. had a guy go through a bunch of tests i added question the credits, track times, dates and even change the way i had the pressing amount listed (i guess /# wasnt goo enough).  he even commented and then removed the dashes from the track listing - but not on the original listing i had copied from - just mine. 
i swear that so many of them just want their name on as many releases as possible. 

Hope they'll send me splatter instead of my white 🤪

Hey, just wanted to drop a big thank you to everyone who put forth some real effort into trying to make a true 'vinyl collectives' dream come true on this one. It was a fun ride, and appreciate the goodhearted communal vibes.
@Tidal Wave, @smailtronic, @hookups96, @agua,  & others of course.
 

P.S... No I was not able to win the garbage can lot, slipped through my fingers

Delete that SRC link and put the band/fearless link at the top. Why promote a store that's just going to rip people off?
