Apparently the regular version is on colored vinyl too:

"Beautiful double 12" Heavyweight ( 180 gm ) vinyl.
Mid Grey coloured vinyl with 4 colour centre labels, housed in a black polylined inner. Hand placed into 3 mm spine sleeve, printed 4 colour process + special screen printed 5th colour orange designed by Hingston Studios and Rob Del Naja."

Did anyone who pre-ordered this from Drag City receive it yet? I had some problems with my order--it didn't show up in my order history for some reason--but Drag City assured me that everything would be okay. I've seen it in stores, but I don't want to snag a copy, try to cancel my order, and have it show up the next day.

 

I received mine last week. They sent an email when it was shipped (no tracking though).

My Amazon.com order also has today as the expected ship date.  I'm excited to see what this actually looks like.  I couldn't find any good pictures online.

 

Sorry, this is not a very detailed photo. Inside the leatherette sleeve the records are housed in regular non-printed sleeves and there is a two-sided insert with the original album art on the other side and track list and credits on the other.

 

This is the signed 3xLP edition from Badly Drawn Boy's web store (limited to 100 copies).

 

Anyone in the UK order the clear from the US webstore? I ordered as soon as this was announced, and haven't got it yet...don't know when to start worrying.

 

I'm not from UK, but I ordered the clear + litho bundle from US store. Got the lithos couple of weeks ago, and shipping confirmation for the vinyl on 4th of January. Still waiting but I've used to wait for at least 3 weeks for shipments from US.

I just received the replacement records. They arrived from The Vinyl Factory, UK.

 

This pressing sounds amazing!

I contacted them concerning my 3 bended sleeves, and got a reply they would send me replacements. 15 minutes later got a another email saying they don't have replacement sleeves for Ire Works. Meh.

Thank for you posting. Definitely sounds rough. Hope you are able to get a replacement.

 

Just got a a reply:

 

"Hello, Jsusi.

We'll forward this along to the label, and they'll replace your copy.  Thanks so much for your patience.

Regards,

Sigur Rós Online Store"

They replaced mine within a few days. Super quick, no pictures needed.

 

Thanks, I'll send them some mail.

I received my order from Sigur Rós online store, both – Takk & ( ) – arrived safe and sound. But my copy of ( ) has those issues. I recorded some clips (from the output of my stereo to Mac/Audacity). You can check those here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3kngr4csog9xr89/AACZcHsmWF2p6XKuzMb5ksFna?dl=0

 

There is a small amount of noise on side A, but very bad on sides C and D.

 

I just wrote them back asking how to proceed.

What's Relapses policy on replacement sleeves? I received my 3 reissues, all with serious bends on the sleeves (as well as inserts but those are not so important).

This is now available in https://shop.rammstein.de/en/catalog/Visuals-Sounds/Vinyl/XXI-The-Vinyl-Box-Set.html for 249 € , shipping to Finland 20 €. Still over 100 € cheaper than local record store...  http://www.recordshopx.com/artist/rammstein/xxi/

I bought the box set today, even though I already have the red vinyl version. Couldn't pass it up; I was in good mood, it was payday, and it only cost 35 €. Nice to have the 10"!

 

Also; I think this is my favourite Ghost album. They have some very good songs on the previous albums/EPs, but this is a great solid album.

Shipping $45.60, so I'll skip. Besides, I have the 2x7" version of this already.

Sorry for bumping up an old thread, but I did some comparison between the two issues (RSD/Cake webstore and the later issue that was available only from Cake webstore).

RSD 2014 / Cake webstore version:
- weight of the records varies between 145 to 170 grams



Cake webstore version (later edition that was up for pre-order for a limited time):
- weights of the records varies between 135 to 148 grams
- some of the vinyl colors differ; Prolonging The Magic is translucent dark blueish green with “whisps”, Comfort Eagle is translucent marbled blue, Pressure Chief is clear (with a hint of pink) with pink swirls and Live From The Crystal Palace has a lot of more black swirls than the first issue (this might also be just normal variation)



Soundwise the later pressing is better - at least my copies. I had some weird noise issues on the first edition’s Prolonging The Magic, at the end of “Sheep Go To Heaven”, also on some other records (I can’t remember anymore), but no problems on the later pressings.

Finally reissues! Preordered!

I really want this! But I can't order it from Bullmoose because I'm in Finland and Acoustic Sounds has $50 minimum on international orders and won't show shipping costs... I hope this (and Takk) will be available from other sellers as well. Takk probably will be released in Europe too, though.

This is what my record looks like:

Mine arrived today from Rough Trade as well, but it was shipped in a sturdy cardboard mailer made for records, no damage. I'm always a bit hesitant to order from UK, so many times I've received dinged, creased an bent records, due to poor mailers.

Did anyone order the Swedish-only variant from Ginza.se? Have you received it or got any confirmation from your order? Or were all the color variants delayed? Can't remember...

This is harder to get than I thought. I was sure that GBMS would be the only item I'm able get from my store, instead I got almost all the other stuff from my list except this.

 

So any help appreciated, I don't want to throw $70+ for this on Discogs/Ebay. Yet.

 

Too bad so few European sellers seem to have this.

From Finland: http://www.recordshopx.com/rsd2015/

Super expensive, though.

Got the shipping confirmation last thursday, received the shipment today, via DHL Express. Never got the tracking code.

Got mine today:

 

Getting a replacement...

$30? Pfft, try 48,79 euros!

There was that black vinyl bootleg of Deloused too....

 

Sure, but I'm not that interested of unofficial releases (that one live bootleg will do).

Wowsiebowsie! That's impressive. What's it missing? There's a black Tremulant afaik..

 

Thanks!

 

Missing black and citrus yellow Tremulant, few promo singles and at least one 12" single. And of course test pressings, but that's too much.
