Snagged the screen print from End Hits, waiting patiently for the Newbury.....

I chatted w/ them on FB messenger, sounded like they weren't even aware of the issue. They got it fixed & I was able to place my order 🙂

HOW?!

Snagged a Golden Age. Wondering if it’s also a “deluxe”, as it’s the only variant with a hype sticker like the coke bottle.

Do you have a link to this? Can’t find it anywhere...

Snagged a blue after green sold out.... patiently waiting for them to announce the Euro press!

Man, not impressed with any of these variants except for the blue that sold out when the west coast was all still asleep 😕

Hmm, no way to get pressing numbers I see. I'm guessing they're all the same since they're all available in bundles, too?

Man, I've been waiting for these to be pressed forever but all those half & half pressings are just hideous imo. Holding out 'till a 50% off sale or better looking variants.

Well unfortunately, I spun my smoke variant for the first time today and there are a handful of loud pops / skips on each side. In messaging with Laser’s Edge, it sounds like the pressing plant in Nashville this did the US variants is known to have pretty poor quality. The EU Pressing plant is in Germany & is supposed to be among the best. I would grab one of the remaining gold variants, but since it’s on the US Century Media site I’m guessing it was also pressed in Nashville. Anyone grab an extra red press they’re looking to sell?

Tried cancelling my Absolutemerch order & they said it’s not something they do 😕

Hell yes. After the Eulogy screen print ordered!

Bummed I missed it because it’s rare, but the actual art and variant are pretty lame, so oh well...

I went for white as well!

Black & Red unknown. https://napalmrecords.com/english/pitfalls-black-2-lp-cd-gatefold.html https://napalmrecords.com/english/pitfalls-colored-2-lp-cd-gatefold.html https://www.omerch.eu/shop/leprous/products/leprous-pitfalls-star-exclusive-star-transparent-red-2lp-plus-cd

Wait, did HMV already go up & sell out or are we waiting for them to post it?

Just received the "opaque pink" from TC's webstore & it's definitely a Pink & White marble. Wondering if there's actually just one variant and both sites had inaccurate descriptions....

Ordered a bone w/ black from NB. They’re always a pleasure to work with & src is a nightmare every single time, so easy choice. Couldn’t find any info or trick the carts into revealing how limited each variant is though.

Appears to be /300 according to the shopping cart limit.

If anyone in here has seen them live in the past few years, Cory always makes a point to say "Norma Jean is a collective of musicians". They embrace not having a stagnant lineup, which is imo refreshing and keeps new ideas flowing into the music. That said, I also hate the new album art. PO'd two of the new variants anyway!

That’s another reason I went with the opaque variant. The description on Merchnow says “splatter” and the mock up is definitely a swirl / marble, so who knows how that thing’s gonna come out... EDIT: Just tried the "how many can I add to my cart" trick for the first time & there are 302 of the opaque left & 819 of the splatter. I'm guessing original numbers were 500 & 1000?

Ordered the opaque pink in hopes that it is the more limited press. Any numbers on these?

I’m in the same boat. Preordered out of excitement, then listened to the singles & am not excited at all. They don’t hold a candle to the old stuff.
