No This Is Patrick Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 In a strange twist of fate, it appears splatter is sold out but haze is still available. That's insane! My only guess is because it's cheaper, but still it's not by much. The haze is basically screaming: "record flippers buy me!" so why is it not gone? Anyways great album, can't wait for mine to arrive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBarry Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Is nobody else wondering why they would charge more for the haze than the splatter? Pretty weak if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gippej Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 In a strange twist of fate, it appears splatter is sold out but haze is still available. I'm sure it has to do with the fact that they posted online they were both out of 300. I switched mine to a splatter because of the incorrect information.

No This Is Patrick Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Is nobody else wondering why they would charge more for the haze than the splatter? Pretty weak if you ask me. Haze is the more limited pressing. But other low press records sell for the same as "regular" editions so it is weird. Might be on the factory side, would it cost more to do a haze than a splatter or starburst or whatever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 naw man, it's a straight money grab. If the prices were lower I'd believe that they had passed the savings of the larger pressing to the customer, but there is a large profit margin on these suckers even for the splatter.

SBarry Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Compared to like 80-90% of what people buy on this board I'm shocked the prices for his have people so upset. Other than the whole different pricing for the two variants I'm really not that upset. verb1999 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the whole different pricing for the two variants I'm really not that upset. No one seems more upset with this than anything else. Just simply pointing out that the difference isn't due to anything other than profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcafilm Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 Compared to like 80-90% of what people buy on this board I'm shocked the prices for his have people so upset. Other than the whole different pricing for the two variants I'm really not that upset. $27 shipped for a single LP (especially considering T&N/SS is notoriously cheap on packaging) is a bit on the terrible side. Personally, I would gladly drop $20 shipped on this, but I'm having trouble committing to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBarry Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Definitely agree it's more expensive than I really wanted to pay but I know there are people posting in this thread that buy a lot of $27 LPs before shipping. Just saying with all the crap being repressed as of late this is one of the more reasonably priced represses I have seen for a major/popular band. The label just dropped the ball with shipping cost.

craigalanp Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 My splatter copy came in about an hour ago, and I'm pleased with it after playing it through. It had random skips here and there but cleaned it off and no problems afterwards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No This Is Patrick Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 The splatter version appears to be back in stock now... rcafilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcafilm Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 So it does! Thanks for the heads up. Also, I kinda thought this was common knowledge, but you guys should probably be cleaning all your new purchases before spinning them, regardless. Many records definitely do not come from the factory clean. Fridge Fox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grond121 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Just ordered the haze. Thanks for the heads up VC! The shipping is a bummer but for messengers I'm down for it. I actually really like the artwork on this as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

defchino11 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Got my haze today...looks pretty awesome IMO and very similar to the initial mockup pic. Unfortunately, the printed sleeve has BRUTAL seam splits all around (see pictures). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedshabazz Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 i think the more important thing is that Unearth poster behind it. you get that signed at the 10th anniversary tour? verb1999 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twistedshabazz Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 wish i could have went to that show. i was at a wedding when they played my city. I have seen them probably a dozen times and they always crush. one of my favorite shirts I have is the Unearth rambo shirt. get alot of thumbs up when I wear it. it has become my concert shirt because someone ripped it at a Chariot show and I patched it up and "dont care" if it gets torn up now.
