You could also read through the Third Man Records thread. You can find that thread, also, through the search function.

no, they aren't waiting on test pressings. this was already test pressed, pressed, then it was found to be defective. that takes us up to the original time frame. so they ordered new tests and here we are.

Ok. Makes more sense then. Would have been nice to have heard this information from them though. All they have said was that there were "delays in manufacturing".

 

just got this in my email right before i left for this show AND none of my friends can go to this revised show.

 

double sad whammy.

Looks like the improvised show might be a good time though.

An update from Saddle Creek today:

Thanks for your order of the Tim Kasher LP "Adult Film". As we've mentioned, we hit some pretty significant manufacturing snags with this release.

Right now, we're waiting on an approvable test pressing of the record. We hope to get another copy this week which we hope to listen to (and approve, fingers crossed) immediately. Once approved, we can begin getting them pressed and passed on to you fine folks.

Trust us: there is no one who wants this done more than we do! We're hoping you're enjoying the album download and hope the wait is well worth it once the album arrives on your doorstep!

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we do our best to get this resolved.

Thanks,

Saddle Creek

I purchased this over 3 months ago on July 24th, and this was supposed to ship over a month ago on September 24th. They are still waiting on TEST PRESSES!?

For those that ordered this from Merge, was there any perk/bonus items from ordering from them? (i.e. poster, remixes, etc.)

Thanks!

You guys know you don't have to get every variant right?

Also one of them is a tour record. So quit bitching.

Agreed. I'll be happy to have a colored version of any NOFX or Swingin Utters release considering how many I've missed as of late.

Hm. So USPS priority/first class, UPS three day select, and UPS ground all have about the same price. anyone who knows better than i do know which one is probably the best idea?

Last time I ordered from them I believe I selected the cheapest one by a few cents, which I think was first class, and they ended up sending it UPS anyway.

I dunno man... if HatH blows up more, which they very well might, this could become a highly sought after version.

I agree with you that this is likely going to be a highly sought after version in the future. But, I wouldn't expect it to be a $200 nest egg sitting on your shelf.

Wonder if they're gonna go up in price since 100 is pretty darn limited.

I doubt it. That was just the first one that sold for that much. I think the last one sold for like 90. It will cool off like everything else.

The light blue /100 editions are going for close to $100 on eBay.  That's just silly.

Saw this. The first light blue /100 to sell on ebay sold for $227.50.

Ridiculous.

Decent interview with Kevin for anyone who is interested:

Saw Fuzz tonight in Salt Lake City. Only vinyl available was the Sunderberry Dream 7".

Any chance of Matchbook Romance - Stories And Alibis?

This is one I've wanted for a long time.

I just got charged for Bulldozer and it is now "shipping soon" from Amazon.

Has anybody who pre-ordered the albums(not from kickstarter) received them yet?

Bubblegum still says that it's anticipated delivery date is today from Amazon, but it is still an open order. Thinking it might still be awhile.

I wanna say I'm 98% sure that he tweeted the Yellow/Pink variants would be sold on tour a few weeks back.

Ok. Thanks for the response.

Anyone been to any shows on the current tour?

Should we be expecting tour variants of these albums?

Got my light blue loser edition from Sonic Boom today.

Meh, I don't buy that being the reason. They just know a bunch of people will happily pay $20-$25 so that's what they are charging. I don't neccesarily blame them, they are a large corporation and their goal is to make money. It's what they do. I just can't help to think that while flawed (see MTS and suburban home) i'd much prefer to see these represses being done by smaller labels/distros. As much shit as RJ got for MTS (which he deserved) he did at least put together really nice looking, high quality 2xLP packages when he charged $25 a pop. Hot Topic is charging nearly the same for high run, single LP's in cheap/standard packaging.

I agree with what you are saying, I just think that on the scale of Hot Topic, there isn't a lot of money in some of these pressings of around 1000 unless you charge more for it. While I don't personally like paying nearly $30 for many of these releases, I feel like many of them would not ever get pressed if it weren't for someone like Travis working so hard to make them happen. There is definitely a cost for this.

Man Hot Topic is really creeping towards that $30 for an LP mark...seems like $20+ has become the norm. I mean it's not even like their packaging is elaborate or anything, usually it is pretty damn bare bones.

Oh well, I've pretty much come to terms with the fact that i'm going to not be able to afford to keep up with this hobby for much longer

In Hot Topic's defense, I'll bet the licensing fees for many of these releases are outrageous.

Bright Eyes has a Christmas album that is still available from Saddle Creek.

Got this today here in Ohio I ordered it on the second day and got black.

SO excited to spin this

Got mine today and it is also black. Ordered second day up as well.

Kinda frustrating because I could have gotten clear 2 weeks ago from my local brick and mortar.

Sub Pop posted this on their Instagram and now it's gone.

I'm surprised this lasted as long as it did. I almost wonder if it got oversold. Hope my order got through.

After first listen my initial thought on this album is "meh"

It has to be better than Crash Love though, right?

I'll wait until I have my physical copy before I give this a listen.

Are any of you still waiting on this?

I don't know if I should just continue to be patient, or if I should try to contact the label.

Thanks in advance for the feedback.
