morfiend Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Thanks for the orders. I'll be taking the day off from my day job to pack all of these the day they come in. I'll do my best to have them in your hands asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
octave Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 With what I've heard about Rise Above shipping, I expect this to be on my doorstep in 20 minutes. The Die Hard edition of mind control was over nighted to me from England to Hawaii. About 14 hours to my door. Still blows my mind. Sucks I have to pass on this for now.

iron666monkey Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Love that exchange rate. Nothing like $94 shipped to the door. No EZ Pass here. Highly flippable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cambionic Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I did it. I paid over $70 for a record. So the release date remains on September 18th, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morfiend Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Just got word from my distributor that these are in stock at the warehouse and shipping within the next day or so. Hopefully I'll have my stock of red, purple and black copies by the end of this week or early next week (depending on customs etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clerk3745 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 My local store said he's working on getting me a colored version. Didn't say what color or how but I'm excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostTrail Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I believe opaque purple is the US retail, so it could very well be that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clerk3745 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I believe opaque purple is the US retail, so it could very well be that one I'm cool with that. I was kinda bummed the US repress of Blood Lust was just black but thats a lot better than the picture disc I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevbayer Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I'm cool with that. I was kinda bummed the US repress of Blood Lust was just black but thats a lot better than the picture disc I had. Your probably noticing the way inferior US vinyl and packaging in general compared the the European Rise above version. ...in general. .US versions don't compare to European versions.

clerk3745 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 This dude was bummed but my dreams were fulfilled by it. Weird how that works. I shouldn't say I was bummed. Almost everything else nowadays is color so when you open something expecting one thing and its just black, my natural reaction was disappointment. But in reality I'm just bullshitting post to post. I just want the goddamn music on a piece of wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want the goddamn music on a piece of wax. I'm just intrigued that vinyl collecting culture is by and large majorly hung up on getting a "color" LP and somehow black is this lackluster, unexpected disappointment. I'm disappointed when a pressing is made that doesn't have a black option. I guess that's kind of the same thing though. Blaine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevbayer Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Do you have something to back this up?Have you purchased a metal blade version of any rise above release? Jackets are inferior not only in weight but in art work....vinyl is thin and hollow.Same with the last ghost release anyone who bought a euro version knows it's the same deal.....sounding like it is the same with this Ghost release also. Europeans have more respect for vinyl as an art form ....where in America we think more about profit than pride in work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevbayer Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 My statement doesn't mean all American companies that put out vinyl are cheap...most of the small ones put out a really good product, but for any major or semi major release and you care about quality you are going to get the Euro version.

mcpherson123 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 My Metal Blade Blood Lust LP is black its about as thick as the Rise Above LP and the jacket is gatefold. Sounds pretty good too. As good as that master of that album can sound on any type of format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rooks Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Seriously, tip on jackets are cool and all, but 9 out of ten of my non-gatefold 2xlps are from europe. Great Quality and shit quality can be found in any country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta see this profit over pride....never seen hollow vinyl before. ..must be missing out on something good Wow ...calling me ignorant over this....interesting. When I say hollow I am obviously talking about sound, but if you have never seen an actual hollow record...look for the liquid filled ones from wax works or third man. If you have never seen profit over pride, I would suggest removing your head from your ass and look at nearly any manufactured product. ...like yr cloths from Walmart. If you still need an example besides the 2 I gave already.....check out both versions of In Solitude ' s World the Flesh and The Devil....this is a shining example.
