thechasebegins Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Has the Hot Topic variant been released yet? If not, does anyone know when it's due out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheriver Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Has the Hot Topic variant been released yet? If not, does anyone know when it's due out? Usually a delay means every variant is delayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeepo Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 The situation with the vinyl version of this album seems so odd to me. I get that delays happen with vinyl, but 4 months to complete a press (yes, I'm aware of BYTA and Glassjaw)? Good Fight must have been super far behind on the vinyl when they put up POs.

I get that delays happen with vinyl, but 4 months to complete a press (yes, I'm aware of BYTA and Glassjaw)? Good Fight must have been super far behind on the vinyl when they put up POs. I think they screwed themselves over, the first delay wasn't a plant delay, they rejected the pressing (wasn't quite the right colour) after that they were behind the 8-ball and the plant kept delaying the order.

GhostTrail Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Yeah, I don't really get it. The Contortionist's new album Language came out through Good Fight as well; it went up for PO after '68, and the vinyl was out in time for the release date (09/16). Definitely a little weird. Edit: If it was rejected, then it definitely makes more sense. Although they had an issue with the color of Language as well, but they ended up just changing the mock up image and giving everyone a heads up. I wonder if they just said fuck it because of all of the delays with this album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know about the rejection. The amount of time this has taken makes more sense now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
distinctlydustin Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 If it doesn't come out, I riot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enjoytheride Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 If it doesn't come out, I riot. Its gonna come out. This is my AOTY so far and I will make it my mission that this album comes out on vinyl, if there does happen to be some sort of issue with this pressing but sure its fine and just delayed based on which plant they chose & black friday stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smeepo Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I'm extremely envious of the people getting the blue and white swirl, even though the clear is more limited. There's only a few clear copies left on MerchNow btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

himynameisdk Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Bummed I didn't snag a swirl, but I'm just happy I'll have it on vinyl. And you really can't go wrong with a clear variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
