Emailed GP, this is what I got:

sorry for the delay, yes this will be the same as Loser edition as we are getting the same stock from Sub Pop.

thanks and enjoy!

My copy of I8 sounded very bad on Side A during the end of "All Night Diner", cleaning it with a duster remover fixed the issue.

hmm. Seems like the color choices should be swapped. Red would fit way better with Interstate 8, and blue with Building Nothing.

This is what my friend and I both said. If anyone wants to double-check, check out FP's contact page:

The guy who does distribution for the UK is the one I asked.

I emailed FP about the colors of the records, they said the following:

I8 - Solid blue

BNOOS - Solid red

photo style looks familiar 

 

is that from Takeheart AKA Revealed Records AKA BobLoblaw? 

eBay name is recordsbytakeheart, so yep. He's flipping them for $75 a pop lol, there's a good chance the goHasting ones are the same anyway.

FYE, but I took that picture from a scalper's listing on eBay.

Red and green are pretty much the worst possible colors they could have chose

They at least sort of match the inner sleeves:

LCW back in stock at FYE:

There's also a new variant of LCW out.

I already found two other stores taking pre-orders in Netherlands lol.

Edit: I'm sensing some NaCl.

If anyone's looking for colored copies of LD and/or LCW, PM kess and he'll give you a fair deal.

My friend just got his two records in the mail today from SRC, turns out they shipped them from the Czech Republic to the US. No wonder their orders are taking so long, LOL.

Here's all the different versions of LCW!

Well I received mine from newbury today. One is actually broken "I haven't physically opened it but I can hear all the pieces sliding around inside". Other has been assaulted beyond recognition. I emailed them letting them know. But I am unsure what they can do at this point... being in Canada return shipping would be ridiculous.

I doubt they'd make you return it, just record a video of it and they'll send you a new one for free.

Here are pictures of all four pressings of Long Drive:

I just got my copy of Long Drive from Banquet, it's very pretty!

Did these say they were colored when he ordered them? I'm going to order through them tomorrow regardless, but it would be nice to have some colored variants.

She got a black copy in the mail, but it was damaged so she returned it, they sent this back.

And a picture, with the fat possum receipt in the pic too:

 

Hey so my friend got a colored non-Newbury copy of LCW from the US:

Apparently the Banquet pressing is the same as the one Fat Possum sells for LD:

Does Newbury send out a shipping notification or do they just arrive all willy nilly?

Mine just showed up at the door today, the order number never even mentioned it had shipped.

Got my Newbury Comics version of Long Drive today, it's so purdy.

LCW went up on Banquet today.

I don't see a way to preorder the LPs on the banquet site, is that not available yet? I can only preorder the CDs.

Thanks for the info!
