^^ I will end up doing that actually. It just feels kinda shitty to have it show up like that. And of course felt like complaining about it to the board too. Ha!

Wordd, you've had no luck with this and mbv right??

Well. Feel free to laugh at my misfortune. Or my friend's. the copy I sniped for a friend arrived today and talk about being shittily packed and received. I understand that most of these sellers are not into collecting and therefore packing/shipping records well enough and just sending them out in the same box they received the promo record in. This seller even though they wrapped the box itself in brown packing paper, it still suffered.

The box itself is beat up. No pics as no point. BUT. Here is where the greater damaged suffered:

The records went through the paper sleeves.

The wrap-around cover thing has a tear. In the listing the seller did say this right outta the gate so OK on that but still sucks.

The jacket does have crimped/dented corners. But not majorly fucked up.

And of course there is a nice seam split at the top of the jacket. Thanks for that.

And the magazine and "autographed" picture were inside the box bouncing around but surprisingly OK.

Now comes the dilemma. Do I give it to my friend as such? Do I leave aggressive negative feedback to seller? Seller insured it on their own so I am sure that if were to contact them with these damages they'll tell me to take it up with the USPS and that's not going anywhere for sure.

Do you have this on black too? Why not just swap the jacket and sleeves? and use some tape on the inside to repair the wraparound?

I did something kind of bad today....went to HT and slit open some of these to check for coin flips. None

Ha!!! That's great

It's sort of a milky clear blue.

That's tight

Yea well I figured PO info will be up soon with the album due out in 2 months.

So for you whiners and criers keep your panties in a twist

According to pitchfork looks like there will be a limited edition boxed vinyl set for this.

Out 5/21

Picked this up at HT today. No coin flip but the clear/blue swirl is very pretty.

Haven't seen a picture of the hot topic press, wanna post one?

Just heard this is getting a USA pressing! Brand new press with cd combo will be $24.99

Not sure how I feel about this now!!

Holding out has its rewards!

First press on clear

Never heard them before but that the track they have on you tube is awesome. Usually matador does a 10% off pre-orders deal.

You can get this for $34.99 with free shipping at amoeba if anyone is still looking for this.

Really?? That's the cheapest so far, take another $10 off of that and I'm sold!

BOGO, what?

How you do that?

Buy one get one half off on everything right?

Just got an email from a local shop saying they would be charging $50 for the vinyl

I remember seeing these in the bins at porchlight records in Seattle, wa. If you email them I'm sure he'll ship them out

Guess there are a bunch of these, here's mine:

Damn that paisley is sicc

Got the white cover with little artwork all over it, wish I would've got one of the other ones

Whatttt!!!!

Whoa. Got mine today.

Was shocked to find something very different then what was posted above! Haha!

(and no offense but mine looks much cooler)

Pics preeze

As mentioned earlier in this thread. Due to higher demand than anticipated, we decided to make another variant to round out the first pressing to 1000 total copies.

That being said, the Light Blue Marble variant which im considering V1.5 since it used the leftover jackets and center labels from the first pressing.

It will go on sale TOMORROW 3/11 around noon.

Sahhhweeetttt

I actually picked this up from Darren W (who runs Jade Tree Records)

Best hardcore band!

How disappointing is New Moon? I say pretty fucking disappointing, got through maybe 3 songs.

Disagree, it's a ripper

Bump cause I wanna see the wrap around for the new moon limited edition

That cover is hella ugly

Where the f is my new moon LP! I hate seeing it in stores before I get mine

Ditto, sacred bones deluxes are awesome but they take forever to ship

Shipping confirmation on the men just now

Awesome, got my ship conf. this morning, can't wait to see what the wraparound looks like
