Dr.SteveZissou Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Mine was so warped that I couldn't get it to play.. so I got on the placement list and I figured i might as well try and get this copy to play. So i left it on my warm receiver and put my printer on top of it. It was still warped but not as bad. After i adjusted the weight of my tone arm to apply slightly more weight, I was able to get it to play. Not ideal, but at least I could listen to it on vinyl. It sounded fantastic.

LIGMA_BALLZ Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Saw an instavid of a guy taking a hair dyer to his copy to flatten it out.... Also saw a comparison video of someone using a record clamp and that seemed to work too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouTwo Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Just got a 2nd email saying I was on the list for replacement? So i'm not sure if I'm on the list twice or they just thought they didn't respond before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barberbro Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I ordered one from the FJM website. Wonder if they'll fulfill the orders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Don Volante Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Mine's bouncing around a little much on the turntable, but it's playing fine and i've had no skips so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney Crosley Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Mine's bouncing around a little much on the turntable, but it's playing fine and i've had no skips so far I'm in the same boat - so far, playing fine. Just got mine from FJM's site. The tonearm bounced the most during the first track on A and B, and considerably less as each side went on. That being said, I'd need to play it a couple more times to really determine if it skips. Actually, nevermind, just skipped. Too good to be true...

Dirty-Frank Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Received my Vinyl Me, Please clear LP's today. They look and sound amazing. Was unfamiar with Father John Misty prior to hearing these. I am impressed and will most likely purchase the deluxe edition if I ever see it in a store. Cause, let's be honest. Those records are hot!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyllaaan Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Sub Pop took 6 days to respond with an official: You're on the list. Hang in there if you're still waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGMA_BALLZ Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Well looks like my VMP edition got delivered to the wrong address.....josh Tillman does not want me to own a variant copy of this record Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No known issues with the VMP clear or the Bella Union 2-coloured press. If you bought from Sub Pop or FJM's store, they will mail you replacements. For Sub Pop, contact them here: https://www.subpop.com/news/2015/02/11/on_the_subject_of_the_deluxe_lp_edition_of_father_john_mistys_i_love_you_honeybearor from FJM's store, go here: https://merchline.wufoo.com/forms/honeybear-vinyl-replacement/ ; all other returns need to be at point of purchase.

_stretts Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I have been obsessed with this album and ever since Fear Fun clicked for me I have been obsessed with that too agaetisbyrjun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeardedSteven Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Completely forgot to add my name to the list(ordered direct from subpop). Thanks! But yes, my LP 1 would skip at first. I got it to play with a little adjustment, but it's still fairly warped. I'm glad they are doing the replacement. I absolutely love the album. Anybody play the demos cassette? I've still not found a tape player to play mine in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanwtaylor Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Side a/b of my VMP copy was very warped and literally jumped 1/2" high out of the groove... C/d was fine. I emailed VMP and they sent me a replacement right away and it's fine. Just a shipping thing for my copy I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeardedSteven Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Well it looks like Subpop are all caught up in replying to emails to people. I just emailed to add my name the the list and got an email back a couple hours later. Saying replacement coming mid-March. Any word if they are expecting us to send back the warped ones at some point? I already said, but I think it's great they are replacing them. Things happen. They easily could have just refunded and said buy the regular version... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oilerguy Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Just got a shipping confirmation email from the FJM webstore for the deluxe version. So I'm guessing the new (fixed) pressings are in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckydan Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 FJM webstore has the standard edition listed with both black and clear vinyl. I wonder, is that the same as the VMP issue? jaba1337 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
213041284s Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 FJM webstore has the standard edition listed with both black and clear vinyl. I wonder, is that the same as the VMP issue? well so much for "exclusive color" haha. The art print, cocktail recipe and postcard are exclusive to the subscription though. They either had this already planned or decided to make the clear available for wide release to people who still wanted some kind of variant but were disappointed by how the deluxe came out.

Interesting. I bet the replacements should be going out soon. I wonder if they are just shipping the discs or will it be new packaging as well.

whose_thare Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I listened to the demos and they're rough (his voice goes in and out) but good. The finished record is miles better but I do like the cover at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if it was maybe overstock from the VMP press? It's not on the sub pop store. Kinda want to grab it but it's pricey to ship to Canada.

sunkilmoonfan Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Nice... Just picked up the clear vinyl. I really almost joined VMP in the hopes that they'd have some for sale at the end of the month... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
