parkinglot Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 That screenprint is awful, I am totally regretting the order now. Lol, this is so lame. So you only ordered the record for the screenprint? Sounds dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossdj26 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I wouldn't go that far but it's kind of lame when it was highlighted as a selling point (limited alternative cover art). It's still cool but is more along the lines of a bonus giveaway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkinglot Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Topshelf always delivers. They missed on this one (referring only to the screen print), but I'm not upset because they always put out quality, cost conscious releases, and have great service. Maybe something went wrong with their original plans. And remember, $1 of the extra cost went to charity. Also, I know the record wil sound great.

Topshelf nailed it with the gatefold art and the new center fold labels too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HybridxReality Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 The records sound great and the gatefold is beautiful. Sounded like I really hated this release, but I don't. Very glad to own this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I feel that way, I just would have ordered one of the splatters if I knew what this would actually be. Can't ever be mad at topshelf though, they deserve at least one forgiveness for a miss.

NEEE... Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Glad I went with this one. Good quality press. rcafilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkinglot Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Glad I went with this one. Good quality press. I think that's the one that I will receive from Amazon. Best looking one in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchorlessbodies Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Lol, this is so lame. So you only ordered the record for the screenprint? Sounds dumb. I already have the OG press on blue and yes, ordered the white one to have an alternative cover version (as it was advertised), not just a simple cardstock with a logo. Of course I can live with it but at least a mockup would have been very helpful to choose an other variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcafilm Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Really both of the splatters came out phenomenal. Can't wait to get mine in and hear the quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Pretty sure "alternative" was never "advertised" (lol)To be fair it was billed as a screen printed cover, though, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 To be fair it was billed as a screen printed cover, though, right? Yeah but that wording is hardly as specific as "alternative" which implies something similar to the E!E! tour press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchorlessbodies Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Pretty sure "alternative" was never "advertised" (lol) You are right, it was advertised as " w/ Screen Print Cover" , suggesting that it would have a different cover.

Rip Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 You could technically "cover" most things with that print though. Like a shirt I folded a little bit ago. Or I could cover up a mess I made with chips or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcafilm Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 For those curious, the screen print will be black on white with a small flap that folds over and is hand numbers /200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwhitmuzik Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 yeah, that's why I'm quite bummed by this feel like my loving grandma misled me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsr00seth Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 As some of you can figure, the screen print didn't come out as we originally planned. I don't believe we had ever said it was a cover or an alt version of the cover, but can totally understand how it could have seemed that way. We hit a lot of stupid delays and issues with a few different print shops to eventually get what we ended up with and it ended up taking longer than expected at that. I don't blame those of you for being bummed, I'm bummed a bit myself since it's not how we envisioned this. We also totally dropped the ball on not giving anyone who ordered it a heads up about the change of plans for the print. It wasn't intended, because we try to do that where possible. If anyone feels like we've duped them into buying this version of the record, i'm happy to give you a refund on the screen print. If you feel that this version of the record is totally sub par now and you cannot live your life with it, we'll work with you to swap for a different variant where we can if you send this back to us with the print. Just email orders at topshelfrecords dot com. tape, rcafilm, sabukweli and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrodan Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 appreciate the response. label is still backed hard. out of curiosity, with the changes to the screenprint, why did that change the plan to number these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abovetheearth Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 this is why you guys are the best. not to be a stickler but the description of it as the cover is why I bought it. but I'm fine keeping it as its a record and not a life or death situation.
