Photos of Screeching Weasel, Queers, and Off with

[Guest Admin]

So we ended up getting the represses of Screeching Weasel, Queers, and Off with Their Heads in late last night and due to the number of orders for Norma Jean and Sparta, we did not get to these last night. We are working hard to get these out today, but some may not go out til tomorrow.

As you can see from the colors, they are not exactly as described. This is due to the fact that most of the plants in the United States are having colored vinyl shortages. Seems implausible I know, but it is in fact the case. Because of this, the recent Recess represses look more like the No Idea Grey which results from a combination of leftover colored vinyl and black vinyl.

There is word that there are different color varieties with the represses and for those of you who ordered more than one copy, we will pull copies from different boxes hoping to get you different color varieties. No guarantees though.

Luckily the Off with Their Heads has different labels or collectors would flip out that it's too close to the original on grey.

Also, I got a black hospitals I might trade if anyone wants it.

[mrc]

oh no, hickey... looks like you got some work ahead of you with the unknown variants/shades of gray.

not really what i was expecting and im a little bummed but oh well. im not going to complain

Seriously, with all the, "OMG it's so beautiful" posts that a lot of records get, this made me laugh, so hard.

[jawbreaker]

It would have been better off black.

Yeah. I have six copies coming (3 from VC, 3 from Recess) but if the variations are only slight I'm not too worried.

How in the name of all that is good do you run out of coloured vinyl

[justaminrthreat]

Bummer...they look like shit.

its funny that a splatter/swirl/half&half record will get all the praise in the world, which more often than not looks terribly tacky, but god forbid one of these gray "abominations" come out. as far as aesthetics go ill take this over a wacky splatter any day of the week but more importantly these records are repressed and are now affordable to everyone. im stoked to finally get this screeching weasel lp at a price i want because at the end of the day im paying for music not for some "color."

i suppose recess could have waited till the plant got more colored vinyl in but then theyd be bombarded with the impatient "omg its been "x" months since i pre-ordered this, how dare they! shame on you!"

damned if you do damned if you dont.

[refused]

oh well, at least they're out

Yeah, but come on... they look like carpet from the remainder bin

to each his own, i prefer to look at their "inner beauty." down with the superficiality, im here for the tunes.

also, always glad to see records pressed in the US too instead of being outsourced to GZ.

[justaminrthreat]

I was looking forward to getting one that matched the cover a little better and such, but I'm still pretty stoked to have the Screeching Weasel one on the way. And hell, that one looks the best of the 3, I think.

[sherlock]

Indeed, brother.

[captainmorgan]

Yeah, I'm still glad to own both of these albums, even if the color is not so great.

After all, I still would have bought them both had they been advertised as being on "sorta ugly ass gray"

[googlemyass]

so glad i thought twice about that screeching weasel. that is ass ugly.

No reason people can't want both the superb tunage AND a record that looks cool.

i never said they couldnt but the jams are my priority and in a perfect world that would be the mindset of everyone else but like i said, different strokes for different folks.

yeah well when you own 2, 3, 4 or however many copies of the fucking record i think youre past the point of the "tunes" and on to the collecting/'visual' side of it.

i dont "collect," therefore i have no qualms.

[sherlock]

just as an aside does anyone know why there's a shortage of colored vinyl? are that many more records being pressed? or does it have something to do with oil/petroleum costs?

I agree. Seriously, why would I want to own this record now? Sure it's one of the best punk records of all time and a classic, but OMG, the color is so ugly. No hipster dudes will ever want to suck me off with an ugly ass grey record on my turntable.
