daegor Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I wasn't expecting a 2xLP. 45 rpm, perhaps? 45 RPM wouldn't work, at 15 minutes a side there would be no way to divide it without splitting single tracks over two sides. Maybe side D is an etching? Or maybe it has the seventh Japanese bonus track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archiced Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Sold Out!!! On Facebook Sige says the repress will be on a different color.... Didn't seen it on FB. Are you sure ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Didn't seen it on FB. Are you sure ? I contacted Sige directly (via Facebook) and they confirmed that the next press will be on a new colored variant, along with more standard black copies. They didn't specify the variant or quantities, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniele Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I hope they repress some big quantities because next time i will not partecipate to another crazy "fight" like yesterday....12 hours in front of the fucking computer and nothing in my hands....If not, i will survive without the Sumac vinyl......

seku Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 ^c'mon, didn't you know that it starts at 11pm? Comparing to last Sleep preorder, this one was piece of cake And overseas shipping cost @Merchtable is more than reasonable, I'd say.

helsabot Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I refreshed that page for like 12 hours hoping to grab a clear and failed...anyway I'm happy I managed to get a black copy at least: this album is TOO GOOD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed about the time around 08:00 PM then at 11:00 i added the clear on my cart and when i went to pay with paypal...sold out....I didn'y buy a black just because there was the official confirmation of a repress before they went sold out and i'm just interested about the possibility of a new variant...

scotty Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 We, Dwyer Records, made a bulk order for some local folks and will have one spare copy on black. It'll be a costly copy as you'll be paying shipping twice (shipping to you and covering the initial shipping to us) hence why we prefer a local sale, but, if you really need this get at me and we can perhaps work something out. We're not looking to profit, you'd pay what we pay. We're in Canada too, keep in mind our shipping costs. Thanks. jack8urt0n 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commonman Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Comparing to last Sleep preorder, this one was piece of cake And overseas shipping cost @Merchtable is more than reasonable, I'd say. All of this. Sleep preorder sucked. Green in cart not in cart, blue in cart, not in cart, finally got the blue/orange, they release a red/green which sounds better but without pictures I'm not committing. And $12 shipping to Australia is ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Interesting fact, per Sige: low quantities of this first press can be attributed to errors at the pressing plant. This doesn't mean their ~400 copies are defective, but rather that's what prohibited Sige from pressing more. The next press will be larger and more accessible, and the colors / quantities will be posted as the release draws closer. (Not kept under wraps right up until the PO.) Seems like good news all around for anyone who missed out. From the sound of it, there should be ample time to plan accordingly, and no throats will have to be slit to secure a colored copy. daegor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neanderthal Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Really hope they aren't just saying that the ones they sold aren't defective. My history of clear vinyl is very fluctuating. Have some that sound incredible, and some that sound utterly shitty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have some that sound incredible, and some that sound utterly shitty. They didn't even imply it. I just asked if the repress will be as competitive to secure, and they said it shouldn't be, since the low quantities were only an issue on behalf of their pressing plant this time around. Not to sound entitled, but $33+ PPD for a double LP means that it should sound and feel sublime. jack8urt0n 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azvd Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Finally listened to the stream. It surprisingly surpasses my expectations. I'd go further and say that it's even better than The Ape Of God, one of my favorites from 2014, if a comparison is worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 NOTE ABOUT THE SUMAC 2xLP: In response to some of the comments about SIGE being unable to meet demand for the SUMAC vinyl, here is some information about the process of getting the first pressing of record made, why we set the original pressing at 400 copies, and the imminent repress of the album. At the time we submitted the album to be pressed, the band was very new, and there was no way to gauge what the public interest would be in the release. We are a small label and can't afford to sit on lots of unsold copies of any release, so we set a modest number for the pressing to be sure we didn't make too many. We knew we could repress it if need be, which we are now doing. During the process of manufacturing the album we had a disagreement with the pressing plant about the project, and thus decided to decrease the number we were pressing with them and take the project to another plant for a re-cut and repress. At this point we had a bit more of a gauge of the level of excitement was around the release and did our best to expedite the repress, while bumping the pressing numbers up considerably. In general, our aim is to press enough records to meet demand for a given release, and not too make so many that we end up crushing the label by accumulating debt for unsold stock. It is an imprecise science and we do the best we can. We are happy that when we are able to sell through a pressing, and happy to keep a record in print when it's practical to do so. In specific regard to the SUMAC vinyl, we don't have a precise date for the availability of the repress, though our estimate is that we'll be able to offer it for online sale in the next 3-4 weeks. We have doubled the amount we did of the first pressing, which will hopefully be enough to get copies to all mail-order customers and some out to stores as well. Thanks to everyone who has supported us thus far and those that bought the new releases yesterday (and ongoing!). - Aaron and Faith / SIGE Records.

Shameful Dread Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I'm glad they will have copies on tour. Still bummed I missed this but there is no way I am missing that Portland show and will grab a copy then. I was just hoping to be more familiar with the album but there's always MP3s so whatever.

Cats Are Cool Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 That is absolutely insane, especially with the announce of a repress before it even went on sale. Some people go a bit too crazy for limited variants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
