mindovermatter Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Pressing plants don't actually tell you WHY they're fucking you. They just say "LOLOLOLOL you already paid us at least 75% of the pressing costs, so just wait it out." We only sort of knew about the Beatles messing everything up, I doubt someone emailed Deathwish to specifically say so. That being said, it's just not cool for labels to do preorders anymore. Those days are gone and there needs to be a better model about gauging consumer response, ordering appropriate quantities and then - in turn - getting the item out in a timely manner. THAT being said, I don't have any solutions here. Just whining. Ha! hzielaskowski 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shifres Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Preorders have a huge impact over the music industry. Did you know that the money or amount of copies being sold preorderly is being calculated as "first week sales" and therefore count towards chart ratings and sales ratings for the first week and so on... That's why it won't stop, there's too much money and prestige at stake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 emailed King's Road this morning about my blue copy. looking forward to their response. I was just wondering why I am still waiting for a record I ordered in July. it seems as though all 69 other variants that you idiots made have been released, yet here I am waiting for variant #70, which seems a bit odd since it is the most rare variant. please let me know how you plan to remedy this situation, as I have never in my life dealt with a bigger clusterfuck of a preorder. get your shit together. You are waiting for a record to come in the mail, relax dickhead. I hope yours comes broken kentin31 and rynflnnry 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsterrod Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 It's an opaque yellow with some black marbling. Looks nice. I can't believe it is finally in my hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parkinglot Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 There's a couple pictures on Instagram. Just search the tag "newbermuda". Looks like any other opaque yellow record I have seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsterrod Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 You can see that it is slightly translucent where the vinyl overlaps the embossed cover. Can't make out the wisps of black in there, but they are there. Not exactly like every opaque yellow record ever, but not too far off.

Gumbo72203 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 just got mine in the mail yesterday! I think it looks pretty sick, I love the swirling in it. Granted, you need to see it in the light to have it really stand out, but I'm good. That cover is so fucking sick though, holy shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poweredbytrust Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 can anyone confirm that this listing by ccmusic.com is really the Deluxe Edition with the embossed cover? The description says so, but I haven't ordered from them before so I'm not sure how correct/legit their listings are. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerohacker Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 At this rate I'll have the next Deafheaven album before my copy of New Bermuda ships Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rottengoth Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Now that deluxe is out and circulating, most stores and retail have the deluxe copy. I'm seeing it everywhere now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downisthenewup87 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Are all versions listed as "deluxe" colored? I've seen several listings online that are described as such and are at the higher price point ($23.95-27 depending). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poweredbytrust Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 nope, there is also a 180g black version, which is probably the one most retail/online shops will get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downisthenewup87 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 nope, there is also a 180g black version, which is probably the one most retail/online shops will get. Thanks for the response. So just clarify, the 2xLP in black is also considered the deluxe version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hzielaskowski Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Deluxe version or delayed version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
