museummouth Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 The fact that the regular price for the alternate artwork one is $25 is laughable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeepo Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Didn't YNE come with an alternate screenprinted artwork for the first "X number" of orders at no extra cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smeepo Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 ugh $8 shipping why This. "Standard shipping" is such a joke. The LP + 7" bundle could be shipped media mail or probably even first class for a fraction of the cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futures Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 its probably "a handling charge." thats what happened when I asked them last time about their costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeepo Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 In a lot of ways, that's fair. They have to pay someone/some people to pack up their packages. But if they're using media mail that costs less than $3 for 1 pound of postage, $4.69 per LP package is quite the overhead. Even so, the bundle I'm looking at is still a reasonably good deal with that shipping cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alogical Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Didn't YNE come with an alternate screenprinted artwork for the first "X number" of orders at no extra cost?Yes and mine is on eBay if you want it Prices for this are ridiculous. Prob not buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeepo Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 That artwork is so neat. I didn't like YNE a whole lot, but I did like the acoustic versions of the songs on Futures and Sutures. I like what I hear in the teaser, but I need to hear a whole song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwhitmuzik Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I'm sure rise will have their preorder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diabretic Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I went ahead and bit on it because the artwork is /250. Now i'm sure rise will put up limited variants and what not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 From their Twitter: "Every Transit record has been different. Joyride doesn't sound like L&F or YNE..It sounds like the next Transit record should. #Joyride". Hmm That still kind of worries me. I'll wait until I can hear more, I skipped YNE on vinyl for obvious reasons. I really hope Transit snaps back into it because they've put out some really great material prior to their last LP.

smeepo Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Judging from the teaser, it sounds like this album could be a step back toward L&F... but y'know, pretty hard to make a judgment without even a full length song out yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWasteOfATime Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 the teaser and art skew poppy, which could be....better... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeepo Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 According to Transit's twitter, District Lines will be the only place where PO's are available. I wonder if "Don't Bury Me Away" on the 7" is a re-recorded version of "A Living Diary." It probably is since Transit is into re-recording and renaming old songs.

futures Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 Already delayed, it seems: This item is on pre-sale with an estimated ship date of October 14th, 2014.Note: Due to manufacturing delays, vinyl will not be delivered on or before release date. We will ship immediately upon receipt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviex2shoes Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Just because they're saying Rise won't have a pre-order, doesn't mean they won't. I believe it was the last record that they offered this pre-order on their site with special screen printed covers. But then rise had their own order set up a little later, plus it was available on amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeepo Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Think this is proof Rise doesn't care about this record? Eh, no. They did PO's for YNE through their storenvy. I think the same was for Futures & Sutures. It seems like Rise has let Transit do whatever they want with their merch. Also I think that disclaimer is put in the description as a safeway so that no one can get mad at DL or Transit about the time it takes to ship the records. The album release date is 10/21 and the expected shipment is 10/14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Don Volante Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Really hate how there's not a bundle with just the alternate artwork one and the 7" somber_silt and veggiecorecords 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veggiecorecords Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Kinda bummed, All I want is the acoustic 7" and the alternate vinyl, no package for that.... I don't need another cheap Gilden Transit t-shirt I'll never wear. somber_silt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smeepo Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I like how they include a copy of the CD in that bundle... because that's what we listen to our music on. Tiny, cheap, plastic discs... what a world... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
