StandupPaul Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Anyone else had problems with the record? Earache are shipping me a new one as the black vinyl was terrible for me. Sound cutting in and out, overly distorting in places. Edit: Just seen the pictures from the post above. Have to say, mine looks nothing like those, but still has the same shit sound problems.

CaptainHerbalLife Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Oh man. This record just might be cursed to begin with. If Sleep was getting money off this perhaps none of this would've happened. Deliberate pressing plant sabotage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Man, I ordered two copies and neither are scratched up like that. Mine have some oil spill looking marks and maybe some finger smears but the one that I've played sounds awesome with no issues except some clicking during most of "Some Grass" which doesn't bother me because I don't give a shit about that "song."

Rev. Mike Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Oh man. This record just might be cursed to begin with. If Sleep was getting money off this perhaps none of this would've happened. Deliberate pressing plant sabotage. Sleep fucked themselves on that deal. The remaining pressing plants are being pushed to the limits of the capabilities and it is increasingly becoming a problem.

kk-downing Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Seriously. I hate buying records from Europe, England specifically. They don't fuckin' make real cardboard there? I did buy a record from Yugoslavia that came wrapped in one sheet of newspaper. It actually arrived in perfect condition. Yugoslavia hasn't existed for 25 years. planetrakis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Yugoslavia hasn't existed for 25 years. Thanks KKpedia. It was somewheres over deres across dat water stuff far far away. How do you know I didn't buy it 25 years ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't, but in a world where most people still believe that Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia still exist, it's important. Plus, even if it was from Yugoslavia, based on where it came from you could still designate it as Serbia, Macedonia, Bosnia, Croatia, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsusi Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 This is what my record looks like: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/fwgl2b175gemf1c/AAAKn84DX6UZKz1pnke6Fom-a?dl=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinji Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I know it sucks, but a lot of these photos seem to be the norm for most of the records I buy, that's why I pretty much had to get a Record Doctor cleaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planetrakis Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Where are these being pressed? Sloppy, damn sloppy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinji Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 ^ I thought it was GZ Media, but those etchings in the run outs don't look like they did it, unless the masters were made elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clerk3745 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Soo... I don't have FB and haven't heard anything for a bit. Still waiting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natenomm Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 We are still waiting for a delivery date from the pressing plant Nick, since we are asking them to re-press the black everything is coming together, hence the delay of the colours. As soon as we have word we will let all pre-order customers know. Thanks for your patience. From yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clerk3745 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 From yesterday. Well better than nothing I suppose. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gippej Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I'm usually not one to complain but I feel this wait is rediculous. At this point I kinda feel we deserve a little something (free record or at least a free download). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusted_By_Space Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I agree that the delay sucks, they always do, but this record came out almost 23 years ago. Personally I'd rather wait a bit and let them get it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gippej Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Free record lol.Lol I know that's a lot I just coulden't think of anything off the top of my head. Maybe 20% off an album code or something. And I agree as well that I would rather wait to have the product come out correctly but still clerk3745 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainHerbalLife Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Sleep fucked themselves on that deal. The remaining pressing plants are being pushed to the limits of the capabilities and it is increasingly becoming a problem. All of that was tongue in cheek. Realistically, I'm with you on all that. The other possibility is that the dudes working the pressing plant are high out of their mind and can't get off their asses to cease spinning those green copies clerk3745 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clerk3745 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Haha I know if I had (when I have) this to spin I'd be stoned out of my mind too. Throw in a patch or sticker or coupon, something. But I'm with most of you, I'd rather wait a little while longer and have it be right. I've already waited how long? A few more weeks or total of months isn't going to kill me.

RustyShackelford Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 How mad is everyone going to be when they limited colors don't come out how they were pictured and they accidentally press 3 or 4 times the amount they were supposed to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
