The Saint Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 The exclusive white vinyl for HT is kind of a marbled white, looks really cool. I'll post pics in a bit. Sounds cool. Maybe I'll just get that rather than trying to find a secondhand copy of the EU variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah511 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 lol yeah because he should trade it for something he doesn't want just to make you happy. This is hardly a record that people buy just to flip.yeah, I guess you're right, but I still don't understand how people accidentally end up with extra variants (the most rare ones). Didn't mean to jump to conclusions. Also, pianos older albums have an insane amount of pressings, and with the popularity of this record, I wouldn't be surprised if these variants do go up in value.

Epitaph isn't known for a ton of variants, right? They'll probably just keep black in production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare? The brown was /700. People had an ample amount of time to jump on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eliminator Jr. Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Hot Topic exclusive white marble /500. Available in stores later this week, online soon too. That's a sweet variant to own, matches the cover artwork nicely. Good job! Unfortunately for us Europeans those HT exclusives are such a long way to go.

Fridge Fox Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I wonder how many turned out as flat brown and how many are actually Cola... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helsabot Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Got brown. Looks like shit. The front had a sticker that said "cola brown vinyl" with the word "cola" sharpied off. Great. That's really unfair...I wonder how my "cola" copy will look like... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusted_By_Space Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I got the shit brown copy in this morning with the same sharpie scratch through as others. My copy looks like the no idea random mix brown. Kinda pissed but hopefully it sounds good. http://instagram.com/p/vBTmuvhWb0/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subplotofcrows Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I spun my copy yesterday and thankfully the warp I got doesn't affect the sound. In fact, it sounds infinitely better than the digital copies I've been listening to and it might be one of my best sounding records, period. Quite surprised but glad this record was done so well.

dantheriver Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Mine isn't that thin, I've definitely got thinner ones (probably also from Epitaph). I was wondering which color of cola I would get, then I opened the box and remembered I ordered navy. Looks good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himynameisdk Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I got my Cola copy in the mail today and I love the way it turned out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Loyd Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Just received mine and it's chocolate milk brown when definitely I ordered cola. Pretty much BS. Anyone contact Kings road yet and get a reply? UPDATE. Never mind I just called and was told "all we got was cola and black, maybe yours was when they were changing the color over"..... I'll call epitaph now not that that will make any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadDonut Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I really love how mine turned out! http://instagram.com/p/vB_-JdwgjB/ Here's one with light shining through it. http://instagram.com/p/vCARgLwgjo/ It sounds like this was a pressing plant mistake. Maybe they didn't make enough and went back to make more and produced a different color or something similar to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sticker says straight up brown despite having 4 emails and an invoice that says 'cola'. They clearly oversold the cola. I wish they would just be honest about it.

dork337 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Are you guys who are complaining about getting "brown" rather than a slightly different shade of brown new to collecting vinyl records? It's pretty much rule #1 with colored vinyl pre-orders that the planned color and the actual color may vary, not just with Epitaph. It literally said on the pre-order page: "PLEASE NOTE THAT FINAL VINYL COLOR MAY VARY SLIGHTLY FROM WHAT IS SHOWN IN THE PICTURE" . trevorxramage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isn't the problem at all haha it's that people are getting different cola colors. They arent all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one thing when the pressing turns out different than the mock-up; it's an entirely different issue when customers who've ordered the same variant end up getting two different ones. Especially when one of those is pretty damn close to the mock-up and one is well, shit brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
