realirony Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Hi, I'm trying to find a copy of Samiam's repress of Clumsy on clear vinyl. The clear copies were randomly distributed among the red version that was part of RSD13. Horrible for collectors. If you can help me, hit me up.

chiefwahoo Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I'm a pretty obsessive Samiam collector and I e-mailed the label (Siren) at the time about the clear copies. They said it is not true and that the red copies were the only color variant. If you have any proof to the contrary, please let me know. Side note: Clumsy is apparently only $5??? http://hellomerch.com/collections/siren-records/products/clumsy-12-inch-vinyl?variant=304355861 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suchashorttime Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I have a red one I'm happy to part with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realirony Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 The only proof I have is my email exchange with Siren Records: My request: Hey there,I totally love your pressing of Clumsy, especially the #ed red one. As a record collector, and especially a Samiam collector, I've tried to track down one of the "clear" Clumsy's like forever. Honestly, I've never seen one although it was announced via recordstoreday.com that there were 100 clear copies distributed randomly: http://recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/5988But, are there really clear ones? Or are they just a myth? Please help to clarify that, I hope to hear from you soon.Cheers Their reply: Sorry for the delayed response my friend! The Clear is most definitely real! We love to do these limited colors “peppered” into the larger press distribution. We did the same with the Peace’d Out record (oxblood red). It’s sort of a “golden ticket” scenario. I don’t even have a clear!!Happy hunting! Thanks for the support and keep in touch.Donny / Siren I still have never seen a clear copy. But I doubt that they answer my email saying there IS a clear copy if there isn't. That's what led me to the assumption that there are indeed clear Clumsys out there. Still looking for one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still looking for one There is a good reason one has never been seen or heard of. Doesn't exist. Sorry dude - but at least know you don't have to find one!

realirony Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 How do you all know it doesn't exist? btw, I'd happy if there wasn't a clear copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefwahoo Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 That's the same guy that told me they don't exist. I could probably find and post the e-mail from him saying they don't. Of course now you have me curious again, dammit. I don't see how one out of every 15 could be on clear and zero have popped up, though.

realirony Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 Yeah, same here. I also couldn't believe that none of those had popped up. That's why I contacted Siren. But since that reply I've been on the hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
