People ordering vinyl for color mockups and not music is very sad

Sadly for the first time in a very very very long time. I'm having to send an item back.
When 4ad announced that they intended to reissue Belly's album STAR on luscious coloured marbled vinyl (see first picture) I was delighted, promptly pre ordered my copy & patiently waiting for the release date.
Now I have to say on the + side, the album arrived on schedule & in mint condition. So far so good.
However upon carefully opening the LP to peruse the "gloriously luscious marbled vinyl" I was given to anticipate from the visual presentation in ( picture 1 ) I was greatly dismayed to in fact receive. Two albeit very pretty blue & pink (very slightly) marbled vinyl.
Now two things to say.
Firstly, I understand & accept, that by virtue of the process of creating a multicoloured marbled vinyl. There is likely to be some variation in results. That as our US chums would say is a given.
However, secondly, I would have thought it would have been prudent of 4ad, to clearly state in the pre order info / advert, that the colour & results of the marbled vinyl may vary GREATLY from the example pictured.
You are welcome to play a game of spot the difference, by checking out my pictures of the actual vinyl received.
The irony being, if 4ad had taken a little more care with their description of the vinyl. I would have been more than happy with what I received.
But sadly, these vinyl are being returned to sender first thing Monday morning!

Hopefully you'll be able to see my post on my fb page that shows the actual vinyl i received today

Sorry to bump this but I was just scouting through amazon.co.uk and saw a pre-order page for a few other Godflesh titles. Couldn't find a dedicated GODFLESH or Earache records thread so rather than creating more I figured I'd put links here for everyone. Amazon UK has them priced pretty damn low and the pages say this is being handled by earache but I can't find anything on Broadrick's sites or Earache so the schedule might be subject to change. I'd be surprised if they didn't do a variety of variants like they did for Streetcleaner if these are legit happening.

Pretty sure it's a pseudonym for The BeeGees fronted by Peter Frampton.

not sure if serious.

tracking down some of these variants took years!

I'm pretty sure scalpers are taking full advantage and "buying" out what they can. No risk to them. Or TM are continuously shady. Probably both.

The misspelling is giving me an aneurism.

the german ones? cause i read those are too big and have issues.

can 1 on my fellow vinyl friends on this forum just post me a link. there is no way these do not exist. please?

i am on a mission to find a certain kind of inner sleeve for my 12 inch vinyl records...they must be:

 
1 a white perfect square with view label hole

2 no corner cuts (so ugly... i do not know why so many companies think i am so stupid that i can't slide a square into a bigger square)

3 no lip (so ugly...i do not know why so many companies think i am so stupid that i can't slide a circle into a square)

4 and if possible the paper fold glued on the inside so the sleeve looks same front and back
 
 
these would be the nicest most asthetic sleeves.  how are these not sold everywhere? how do true vinyl collectors not make videos of themselfs destroying rare LPs until these sleeves are made? i just don't get how i ccan not find them.  is this so much to ask for?  does anyone know where to find this? please help?

I think the effort to contact and wait for a replacement is way more than just taking some glue and re gluing it.
 

Willing to sacrifice the one thing that actually will make a difference in the long run but not all the other stupid aesthetic things... hmm.

i lowered my wish list and all i am looking for now is  inner 12" record sleeves consisting of:
 
*white perfect square with view label hole
*no corner cuts
*no lip
*and maybe if possible the paper fold glued on the inside so the sleeve looks same front and back
 
is this so much to ask for? why does this not exist? why can i not find this? does anyone know where to find this? please help?
 
 

I called all my other indie stores and they didn't get em in, but yeah, that is the one that kinda screwed me over. Originally they told me it'd be out on a the 16th on the floor and then on the 15th they said "oh nope raffle" - it just sucks because we couldn't even preorder the indie edition, it was only for the standard black and CD, and I had already preordered the deluxe. Just was a bummer. 

I have 0 copies because my local store changed their policy last minute and did a raffle.

This has been oop for a while and consistently expensive. Rarewaves and marvelio also have stock up on amazon for a reasonable price. Hopefully this was a warehouse find and doesn't turn out to be a cd.

I didn't get mine yet :|

Well I just got fucked over by Amoeba, kinda... I called last week and they said the Burn the Witch 7" is gonna be in the store tomorrow. I just called today and everything changed. They got 15 copies, and if you preorder the album tomorrow on CD or vinyl (regular, not white) you will be entered into a raffle to be able to buy one of the 7" records. Fucking sucks. I already ordered the deluxe on the site.
 
I really, really love this album. If anyone has a second copy of the 7" they can hook it up with... please let me know.
 
Here's my vlog's first impression in case anyone's interested: 
 
 

Happy I'll be at the NY shows w/ Dawn of Midi, their music is the perfect compliment to Radiohead's

I am in love

It's beautiful 

ftfy

I'd buy tf out of that!
