toxicity Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Got my split the other day and it looks pretty rad. But I have to say, I've never understood the disdain for glow-in-the-dark vinyl until now. During the run-in and gaps between tracks, there's a faint but audible hiss when the needle is on gitd, and it goes away on the clear. So weird, and a little annoying. But whatevs, I'm just stoked to have this! Keeping my fingers crossed that this label eventually gets the last two albums out. Maybe even a bonus 7" with those two songs the band put out when they briefly got back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a little annoying to hear, but yeah, once the music starts playing, you can't hear it at all. Just in the breaks between songs/softer parts of songs.

soundboard Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Gave this a listen today. Sounds great. Overall really well done. The record and sleeve are top notch. The insert content wise is awesome material wise it feels and looks like flimsy newspaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atticus Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Also no locked groove on the runout... Needle plays the paper. Not a huge deal, just annoying if I'm not in the room. I've got nothing but love for this guy though. Hoping the other two happen sooner rather than later. Hell, Id fund a kickstarter for them if it would help move it along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overdue Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Thanks to everyone who spread the word and bought records! I'm still catching up on emails from people, but I wanted to chime in here too. I wanted to do the liner notes a bit lo-fi, but well designed. Like the cover, which is reverse-board with just black ink. It's similar feel to a zine I made for a class based on the EP. I designed that zine in 2007, and it's been an ever-present aesthetic when I think about the EP. tetsuodaironman, onwardempire, THE_James_Champ and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the Cope deluxe box set. Came with the lyrics on newspaper print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can respect doing the zine style with it and think it's cool the reason you have behind doing it like that. Like I said content wise it's awesome and it looks great. I just worry about durability and accidentally tearing it when I'm slipping it back in the sleeve. That's like a 1% complaint on a 99% job well done.

onwardempire Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 My black w/ OBI and the clear-glow arrived this morning, alongside a replacement R&S I bought to replace the one I dropped on side B in a drunken stupor... Can't wait to play this later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overdue Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Just a heads up, we've got about 50 copies left of the OBI Strip variant, limited to 200. Don't sleep on it too long! A lot of people have been picking up the Glow in the Dark variant, so I'm thinking that's why OBI variant hasn't sold out sooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overdue Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Yeah, that would be rad. Fearless doesn't seem interested in licensing it out or pressing it at the moment. But Bobby mentioned he'd like to see us do it, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overdue Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I think it'll get pressed eventually. But the details about who and when are unclear. Definite answers are much more comforting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd just rather you did it. I like the high quality you put out, the attention to detail and the very obvious love you have for the albums. We should start a letter writing campaign.

AWasteOfATime Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I've seen far more obscure stuff getting pressed in the past couple years, and Volcano and S/T are high up on my list of things I need to happen. I'm optimistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should start a letter writing campaign. Thanks! That's very kind of you to say, but I'm not sure a letter writing campaign would help our chances. They know people want the pressing, and they know about Overdue. The most helpful thing for us at the moment would be to keep letting people know about the quality of releases we have. I've encountered a lot of people, at least outside of Vinyl Collective and AbsolutePunk, who hadn't realize those albums had been pressed. People who were Gatsbys fans, but who aren't necessarily following sites that'd cover news about them. So if there's Gatsbys fans you know, make them aware. And in the meantime, we'd do our best to plan on for the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
