Havent' bitched in this thread for some time. This is of course USPS begin stupid again. 
Picked up an LZ II RL Hot Mix from someone off Marketplace. Dude didn't want to ship it, but finally caved. Anyway, it's about a two hour drive from me here in in Maine. This went to the Southern ME distro center near Portland and then should have headed back north to me. Nope not this time! It took an adventure for the holidays to Oklahoma City, OK!!!! That's some crazy shit! I can't believe it. If I were to try to fly to OK from ME it would be a real headache and maybe three flights to get there, so the post office worked hard to get this thing there. Further update when I get it, hopefully next week. 

Y'all sound like you still raise your hand to speak. Just keep selling and lie duh.

Whoa, that sentence was a wild ride. 
 
In for the EPs. So so so glad they’re on 12”. I hope they sound half decent. 

Ordered through camp wilderness with the early access and my autographed copy arrived last Friday 

Crossing my fingers for Fenix TX or Catalyst. 

It actually looks really nice with the small amount of blue in there. Works really well with the cover. People emailing you to complain about it is pretty pathetic imo. 

thanks for your patience with me on this one, y'all. i know there have been some headaches over the last year or so. we've really been going through it. i'm def not trying to make any excuses though and want everyone to be happy with what they ordered. i will say tho, i've had so much support from friends when it gets crazy, but day to day, all customer service, shipping, receiving, inventorying—it's all just me. so it can get kinda backed up sometimes (it is right now). we're bringing on more folks to help soon and gradually rebounding from the whole Awesome Merch fiasco. i can't express how much that knocked us completely on our ass tho. i think we're putting out some of the nicest, high quality, intentionally packaged records of any indie label our size currently despite all that. and i think we're gonna get things more organized and streamlined in the next few months. so, yeah, idk, i am rambling, but i just wanted to say thanks for bearing with us on some super annoying pre-orders. we'll definitely get things humming along again here shortly. 
 
oh! also! anyone getting the "Polaris Blue" variant and finding it doesn't look as intended. we're looking into how this happened as this isn't what we ordered. i was as suprised as any of you. here's some copy pasta i've sent a few people who have emailed to inquire about it:

My guy. I've been holding my tongue, practicing the whole, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all," thing.
 
BUT.
 
You need to stop spamming the board with every thought you have. Read the rules/guidelines, read the FAQ, lurk the site to get a general vibe for a little while and then eventually try again. Use the search feature a little bit to see if you get any answers to your questions that way.
 
Nobody here really gives a shit about reading your blog or looking at your social media unless you're in a very specific niche, or very good at what you do.
 
Have you recognized any of the bands/albums that you see posted about on here? You seem mostly interested in classic rock and pop, which makes up a very, VERY miniscule percentage of the posts here. I know I'm not here wanting to mentor someone who is just getting into the hobby who also shares very little of the same musical taste, and I imagine most people here share that same sentiment.
 
I wish you luck on your record journey, but this isn't really a "starting point" type forum. The most active users here have mostly been involved with this forum for well over a decade at this point and have been collecting for much longer than that. We're a little jaded, and a lot sarcastic, and you came in here with a lot of questions as though you've done zero research or work to figure anything out on your own. Take a break from posting, read some threads, come back later, and don't take it too personally.

I have no words to express the gratitude and support from everyone so far. This has been an incredibly difficult and unexpected turn of events and experience. My father had been fighting cancer for two years now...for a second time...and was doing well. But three weeks ago this past Wednesday, he complained that was feeling dizzy and not all balanced. We took him to the ER and eventually was admitted and found that he had multiple small strokes in his head, a brain bleed, and a heart issue. The cancer was in his left lung. In those three weeks, his condition physically and cognitively deteriorated. On that last week, it was worse than ever and it's when doctors advised that nothing else could be done. 
He was taken to hospice on Friday mid-day and passed at 3:00pm or so right as my mother & I arrived to see him as they had notified us he had arrived and was settled in. My brother had to stay home with our dog as she's been having a very hard time with my father's absence up until then. 
It has been a great deal of a struggle so far in not only these past weeks but also due to his passing. He left us without any info on a will or life insurance or anything of the sort. So we're handling all of this on our own as best as we can. We tried to contact a number of attorneys to assist us, but they're all asking for amounts of money we do not have. Thankfully, I have a few friends locally who have been able to guide us through some things as best as they can. But it all still feels very lonely and it's most hard on my mom as she feels all alone. And we don't have family close by who can stop in and hang out and be with us in these times. 
But I am thankful for Jared for not only making this post but also looking out and all of the support and love from all you VC'ers. It's incredibly appreciated and makes me feel less alone in dealing with this. 
We knew that my father would eventually pass but not this fast. But we're comfortable in knowing that he's no longer suffering and passed peacefully and waited to go as soon as we arrived to see him. I am taking comfort in that. 
Again...thank you so much VC. I feel the love and gives me comfort. 
 

They don’t seem to always put out numbers. According to discogs the first press blue of the Indian summer discography was out of 500. So maybe double that at least for each color? Obviously just a guess but with them being similar enough to have some of the same audience it could be a starting point 

I only hang my vinyl on the wall, sealed of course so my investment stays intact.
