WITH a white label “Judas 0” hidden inside! 

that would make it worth it to me, since "set the ray to jerry" may be the best SP song ever written.

just a heads up, but sub pop is offering free domestic shipping for the rest of august. just preordered this bad boy for $18ppd which i am quite pleased with.

Whoa the LP/book set is shipping??!

i mean tomorrow is the release date, so it would make sense they started shipping.

Anyone care to share some pictures? I cancelled my preorder and now I'm kind of regretting it.

if you regret it, why not order it?

Yeah, I thought the packaging was going to be pretty respectable given the price tag and care going into the compilation, and considering that the reissue was finally available to stream under a brand new title.  Just seemed like a big deal.  I guess it beats $100+ for an OG copy, which also seemed to have pretty minimal packaging too.

not to mention you are getting double the amount of music than you get on the OG, since that was just one album.

Really?  I still keep coming back to it.  It’s such a great summer drive album too, in my opinion.  This remix definitely intrigued me and listening to a few moments on a few tracks to get a feel for it, it sounds like they really put some care into their approach instead of just slapping on some synths in moments that could afford them.

i was really into the joy division done by ceremony vibe of l-shaped man, and this just left me wondering what they were going for. nothing really stuck besides the first single, but even that didnt hit me. this new remix (it is actually just Anthony from the band that did it) just hits my interests way more, as i am a sucker for synths. no qualms with anyone enjoying the og, as i dont think it is bad by any means. just wasn't for me i guess.

i am enjoying this wayyyy more than the 'regular' album. i was really let down by that after how much i loved the l-shaped man. this synth version is how it should have always been, because the guitar version was pretty boring to me.

I got real lucky with my Hello Merch copy that jrodan shared the link for.  Red with very “layered” blue swirls.  Sort of has a blossoming-rose effect going on.  Hope the rest of you guys score as well or better.

got mine today as well and it also has that awesome blossoming effect. it is also definitely red and blue and not red and black as someone mentioned previously. cant believe how fast it got to me, and so stoked with how it turned out. glad i could help some others out as well. praise VC.

I can’t believe I just spend almost $100 on the clear w/ zine and hoodie, without listening to the song (cuz fuck listening to a closer before the album comes out) but deftones make me stupid. Not a bad album in the bunch and I’m pretty sure I could listen to Chino sing over my farts and I’d love it. 

5 copies left in case anyone is on the fence.

please, keep the rape jokes coming y'all. the pinnacle of hilarity.

Great job. Definitely need as many jokes about this as possible. But like, your screen name is @Jackie Crackrock so you are the king of zinger.

You’re right.  There’s just some speculation that US copies ended up as more of a red with black blob, from what I’ve gathered.  If it’s all a giant dice I’m still into it and will gladly grab a copy for $20.

That’s some real THE HOBBY hair splitting, and I doubt you could ever get pressing numbers. But perhaps in 50 years we will have ourselves some Misfits/Black Flag style confusion leading to insane prices.

Nice.  Are these true blue-reds or likely the red with black blob?

from what i have gleaned, there are only 3 versions. black, blue transparent and blue/red blob which may have different variances within it, but constitutes the same version.

appears to be 47 left.

sup nerds. my internet buddy in the band just gave me the heads up that the small amount of copies the band got of the blue/red just went up. i would act fast, as i believe they did not get very many at all.

if you all are lucky this will be cancelled completely!

straight douche chills.

i ask that you post this in the right section, fool!

this and the so impossible/summers kiss eps are all i am after, so let's star this mother.

all part of my lifelong plan to get people to take a second before clicking "SUBMIT REPLY,"  my good man.

Dang didn't realize their definition of "records" included 7"s. Might've not done this if I'd known that. 

what an absolutely bonkers thing to not realize. 

jk, im embellishing. just trying to make the point that there are better versions of this style to listen to if one is in the mood. different strokes though.
