erthan Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Yeah I was pretty chill about it for the first 3 or 4 months because it is difficult. I get it. Warren is one person and with Brian it's still a tonne of work. But now I'm waiting on one record I ordered December 2014 and another (+tapes) I ordered in January. And now in a week Paypal is going to take SOME of the money back which sucks because I don't want money I want records and tapes, that's why I am on this message board and why I have more LPs than dollars. And they seem to find enough time to put out new releases with my money, yet no response ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockPuppetz Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 You're Worth More To Me Than 1000 Christians LP is delayed. "Coming out and shipping on July 28th closer to the middle of September (due to a pressing error made by our vinyl manufacturer)" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Tea Papi Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I know this is silly to being up, but didn't warren say that they'd be repressing Boring Ecstasy and The Love Songs this year? I know he's busy with other new and exciting releases at the moment but I don't know I was pretty excited for those represses! copelandkid and RockPuppetz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he's busy with other new and exciting releases at the moment but I don't know I was pretty excited for those represses! I think that idea was put on the back burner for a while. They repressed DSU and Heaven but never got to Boring Ecstasy and Three Love Songs like they said they intended. And since it's been so long I wouldn't count on it too much, they've taken on multiple new vinyl releases since announcing the repress decision so I'd be surprised if it happens anytime this year. Another run of TLS would be amazing though, that's the main vinyl release I'm missing from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZTAPES Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Repress Jackie Trash please jackie trash cassettes are not sold out. the band have all of them and I am not able to get them back from them. I did one mistake with this release. i trusted them they will take care of shipping them (wanted to save money of people that way). turned out to be the silliest idea. I hope I will eventually get hold of them. this is also one thing that I have learned doing cassettes. never rely on someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZTAPES Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Also sorry guys for such long post. I just do not feel like blaming him, but you are right. Until everything is shipped out, nothing new should be published. I hope it will change in future.I hope I will be able to avoid such things n future, because I have already done similar silly things with orders and I am feeling shameful. I hope I have made things right at the end. With the new releases I am trying to be as professional as I can be. Btw if you have any good tips running label, feel free to message at [email protected] or add me on facebook (FIlip Zemčík) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, you should do a tour edition tape Thanks! I don't think I will be able to send him tapes before tour. The shipping is taking too long. But he will get some tapes from the release. So he will have it with him next time. Unfortunately we started working on cassettes too late. We had in plans releasing second issue of Victoria Park, but Orchid Tapes will probably do it. But who knows Maybe next time, we will do something special. But it is not very cheap to tapes in Europe. It's better to do it in USA or Canada.

batnoises Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I've been checking out more of z tapes' catalog and I really dig these releases. if you guys weren't international I'd pick up all the releases at once, but at this rate I'm planning on doing two at a time.

runforcover Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Only sort of Orchid Tapes related, but the Spencer Radcliffe LP is up for pre-order and you can listen to the new son 'Mia' here. Probably one of my favorite songs we've ever released. http://www.stereogum.com/1819906/artist-to-watch-spencer-radcliffe-mia-stereogum-premiere/franchises/band-to-watch/ http://www.runforcoverrecords.limitedrun.com/products/556402-spencer-radcliffe-looking-in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orchidtapes Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Hey guys, I don't read / post here much anymore, but I'm just gonna copy the email I sent out to everyone who ordered the Alex G record a little while ago, hope it explains the radio silence and delays on my end a bit. "This is Warren of Orchid Tapes. I’m just sending a group email out to those that purchased one of the last run of Alex G records we did on pre-order, I know a few of you have emailed me independently but it’s just best and easiest right now if I just message everyone all at once to give you an update. I’m sorry that I fell a little bit out of contact over this stuff lately and didn’t really give any information regarding the status of everything, this is a little embarrassing to disclose but a lot personal matters in my life have kind of gone to shambles lately and for a good deal of last month I was functionally homeless and unable to access any of the work stuff that keeps the label running smoothly, and in dealing with certain pressing matters a lot of contact / email stuff fell behind pretty drastically. For that I’m sorry and I hope you guys can understand where I’m coming from. Running a label entirely on your own really demands that you be there 100% for it every day and over the past little while that just wasn’t possible.With all that said, these should be getting out very soon! Another issue that was encountered with this batch of records is that when I got them from Alex during the middle of his previous tour *every single jacket* of the 100 that I was owed was damaged from rough shipping between our plant and him, so I’m presently waiting on a shipment of replacement ones so I don’t have to send anyone records that look like garbage. As soon as that happens these will be going straight out.Let me know if you have any questions or if there’s anything I can do to make this delay less sucky. I think a couple people’s orders charged pack through PayPal and that’s fine, if you feel like working something out once the replacement jackets arrive and these are set to go just let me know.Sorry again about all of this, I appreciate all of your business, support, patience and understanding.Sincerely,Warren" xo feel free to email me if you've got any thoughts or questions. I'm still trying to get caught up on emails but if you want a more immediate answer just send something to [email protected] or [email protected] joshman150 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of Breath Records Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 Thanks for updating everyone Warren, I feel this so hard. I've been just completely in the gutter with personal issues and have been entirely unable to work on label stuff for the past month or 2. It's a super stressful job running a label solo and honestly if things aren't "Mint/VG++" in regards to mental and physical health then it's disgustingly too easy to fall behind and before you know it you have a stack of things to do that you don't want to look at that seem completely insignificant compared to your "real life" problems. Totally understandable that people want refunds, but don't give up on this great label, so many great things have been put out that have really opened my interests. I know Warren will make it all right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
