If the copy you purchased was actually sealed, and looked perfect, I am not sure how you could say that was because you bought a copy from a band on tour. Drop me an email - [email protected] this sounds more like problem that occurred in manufacturing.
I was confused about that, too, I guess the possibility of a manufacturing error slipped my mind; I'll be sure to email you, thanks!
Was this copy sealed, and visibly mangled when you bought it?
It was sealed and looked perfect, but when I opened it, it ended up having 5 huge gashes/scratches on the B side that are as long as all of the grooves.
Sort of sad that the copy I got at their show was all beaten up and scratched beyond playability, but I guess I have to expect that while buying from a touring band..? Oh well, record is still great.
Run For Cover & No Sleep both rule and tend to give me extra stuff all of the time. Same with Saddle Creek. Jeff from Run For Cover responds to his emails super fast, too.
