This RAR pressing/variant thing has gone on so long that it must have become a bit of a "lets see how long we can go" thing, too. If you've already gone as far as this many pressings, why would you stop there? Screw it. Go as long as you can. Lets see if we can get 100 out of this baby.

My blue Broken Wing sounds great though.

Back on to the topic of this album's pressing issues: I got my pink a few days ago and holy crap, I've never received a worse sounding record. There's scratching noise that often rivals even the heaviest parts of music and it is always slowly falling in and out of tune as if the record were horribly warped (though physically it looks fine). I emailed KRM and they're sending me a replacement. For anyone that has a habit of receiving their records and putting them right on to the shelf for months: be sure to test this one out while its still fresh.

Speaking of error pressings and customer service (I'm derailing this a bit but didn't want to start a whole new thread yet...), I have a cobraside pressing of Crimson that just sounds horrible on the A-Side. Its not physically warped in any way, but the sound on the A-Side only sounds horrible warped, it warbles, it changes tempo, just terrible. I got this a long time ago and can't talk to the retailer about replacement/return, and I've heard of success talking directly to companies involved in pressings before. Does this sound like something I should email Vagrant or Cobraside about? Just shooting for any advice.

It's been mentioned that the charity version was an earlier mix/master, and that the final version may differ. I wouldn't really expect it to be much more than maybe some different levels and volumes.

did you have to pay anything or send the original pink back?

I will never understand the process behind deciding what songs make and get cut from an Alkaline Trio album. Well, if they ever do a Remains Volume 2, it'll likely end up being the closest thing we ever get to a Dan-centric Alk3 album.

I PUT JIZZ IN MY MAILERS BEFORE IT WAS COOL

Free indie downloads have got me to buy more indie records than any YouTube channel, single, music video or "For Fans Of..." thread ever has.

I bet the shipping is ridiculous.

lol

Holy shit. I just listened to Great Lake Derelict four times in a row. Love it. Holy shit.

"This is the pink version. Description. This is the black version" Edit: $15 shipped means this is one Sundowner song I'm going to have to miss out on.
