seku Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I just got euro press of this and the jacket is absolutely ordinary, standard one I'd say. WTF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caninesapien Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I'm hoping to get mine today, from Burning World. Eager to check now! How's the album? I've only heard the one taster track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vool Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I just got euro press of this and the jacket is absolutely ordinary, standard one I'd say. WTF? Yeah, same here....everything but specially textured or heavy...simple, light, thin cardboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caninesapien Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 That's not great. I'm not that bothered but weird if there are two versions of the artwork! Anyone got any decent pictures of this special textured jacket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainHerbalLife Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I think there might actually be different covered versions. A bit of a bummer if that's true as I was also looking forward to drooling all over this super UV deluxe soft-touch UV varnish. When I checked on Discogs some time ago I noticed the "deluxe" version is not noted on all versions. Granted, most updates on Discogs are made by vinyl enthusiasts like us so the information might not be up to par all the time. Looking at Southern Lord's bandcamp and site the black version definitely has the deluxe artwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I ask because it sounds a little redundant.) I went and looked at mine, and the jacket is thick. Right up there with standard Southern Lord releases. Each side of the gatefold is very sturdy and not flimsy in the slightest. And while the cover is indeed soft, I'm seeing nothing that would make me think there's a UV varnish on it.

jonnyhambone Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Mine feels like it has a rubberized finish almost...never felt another lp like it honestly. Only listened to side one so far, the Lanegan vocals are cool but I'll need a few more listens. The guitar from Brett Netson is a bit surprising too - little BTSpill flourishes that almost act like 'guitar drum-fills'.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsusi Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I took some photos to compare the US and EU editions. The jacket on the US one is very sturdy and the finish has the same 'soft touch' feel as Jack White's Lazaretto Ultra LP. The EU version is pretty standard card stock, with no varnish or finish on it. A bit of a disappointment, really. But the music is great!

Derek™ Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 That last photo was all I needed to see. Wow. You guys weren't joking when you said that it looks flimsy. Really surprised considering the [often] superior quality in European presses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caninesapien Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Ugh I'm not normally one to complain for there being a slightly "better" version than the one I got but it is a shame the EU ones don't have that extra bonus. Looking forward to hearing it still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caninesapien Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Does the black US pressing have the same textured jacket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vool Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Oh man, thanks for the pictures! Can't believe there's such a huge difference! That's disappointing! Will probably get back to SL US next time and buy from them instead of saving a few bucks on shipping... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apeman Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Did they SL EU shop specifically mention the textured sleeve as part of the product description? I can't find anything confirming it in their webstore at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha yes, I accidentally hyperboled the hell out of it. Didn't pay too close attention to what I wrote so that's what came out. That comparison photo is great. Good to see them side by side like that. They look identical except for being on the opposite ends of the colour spectrum. Looking forward to getting the red/orange swirl. Too bad about the cover, will know better to pay a bit more and get the US version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Us Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Did they SL EU shop specifically mention the textured sleeve as part of the product description? I can't find anything confirming it in their webstore at the moment. The discogs entry says Issued in a gatefold sleeve with obi-stripe. Track D is a vinyl only track.

caninesapien Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 So is it just the EU pressings that have the different cover? All other US versions have the textured sleeve? Just looking at this version on Discogs -http://www.discogs.com/Earth-Primitive-And-Deadly/release/5986730 - so this is the standard black with this UV/texture sleeve?

IG88 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I can't even make it through an entire track on this album, it's terrible. what the fuck is with this guitar tone? why change one of the most recognizable guitar tones ever? it makes no sense! vocals were not a good idea either. ugh, this makes me sad.
