According to Justin Pierre and Farewell Continental's twitter, the lyrics were suppose to be printed inside the sleeve (and be a double gatefold). My black on black version wasn't like this. Has anyone that received the variants had a lyric sheet included with their version?!

Mine is just like Derby625's. Black on black. Not on the black label itself, but on the inner of the record (where there is no music) the words "Hay Hay" is scrawled really small on one side and "Pie O Near s" on the other. Is your's also like that, Derby625? And Beardacus / thefavoriteplay, I'm assuming you guys did receive one of the swirl variants. My guess is there's no way to specifically order a black on black copy. As someone else said... the black on black version may be the rarest. And I'd guess that's because only a certain # of pre-orders received it and not ALL pre-orders. Plus, you can't specifically order the black on black version.

I pre-ordered in May and my vinyl is simply black on black. No labels. No swirls. No orange. Etched in small barely visable handwriting on one side is "Hay Hay". The other side has "Pie O Near s" written. Anyone else receive a copy like this?

I sent an email to Farewell Continental's email address and received this message from them on November 5th: We apologize for the ridiculous tardiness of the delivery of the items you ordered, but it is all the fault of our record label. They are not very organized and somehow never got around to pressing the vinyl and now after months of trying to get a hold of them finally have said that they will be done soon. We have no idea if this is the case, but it is extremely ridiculous. We are super bummed as a band because we never say anything unless we mean to do it. I hope you can forgive this extreme delay as the record will be brilliant when you see what we've done for it. Keep checking in and feel free to bombard the label with emails as the squeaky wheel usually gets fixed if you know what we mean. Thanks and again, our apologies. -TFCGofNA

I just found this message board. Glad to see I'm not the only one with this vinyl still on their mind. I also pre-ordered back in May, and obviously haven't heard anything since June either. Over the past 6 weeks I've emailed Blue Collar twice, and tried to catch either Justin or Farewell Continental on Twitter to see if they had any info. No response from anyone on the issue. Just glad I found this message board to see that people are actually still talking about the potential release of the album. Blue Collar has been sitting on my $35 for the vinyl + T-shirt for 6 months now (and no, the t-shirt never arrived either). I was getting close to telling them I want a refund if this vinyl isn't gonna happen.
