bortx Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Based on that email my guess is that there's just one clear w/ brown splatter which is the same in UK and US stores I am just thinking about what happened with Memorial, a translucent grey was announced on webstores and opaque grey as tour variant and it ended up being the other way around... The tour is on the corner and I wouldn't be surprised if a tour variant is planned.. just saying... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 It'd be funny if that was indeed the brown-burgundy variant, and they opted for it on account of overly ambitious mockups, initially. "So yeah, what we had on paper was pretty cool. But it turns out we'd only need to order, like, 10% of our estimated brown pellets if we cut back and did this."

Is there a photo of the paper mockup for this somewhere that you are referring to? I scrolled back through the thread and did not see one.

Just kind of funny that they'd specify the other variant as "clear with" when they're both clear with similar splatters. If that is the case, rather. 34 minutes ago, coreystevens88 said: Is there a photo of the paper mockup for this somewhere that you are referring to? I scrolled back through the thread and did not see one. I don't think I'm imagining it, but I could've sworn there was a crude mockup poster over at Hello Merch. I enjoy nerding out about variants, but before anyone goes full on hurdur you guys gonna' discuss the music or what?, I'd like to say that I've probably put about 5-6 listens into Guidance so far and am super happy with the way it turned out. That production chatter on the last page holds merit — going from this album back to Memorial is like night and day. Ballou truly is a skilled man of his craft. Tough to choose an absolute favorite but Mota has my heart pretty good at this point. I feel like that track has RC showcasing a lot of their signature sounds and acrobatics, and it all flows so, so well. Just doesn't let up.

Fuzz Pig Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Mine was delivered but I'm out of town! Sure hope it's still there when I get home tomorrow. I like when pre-orders arrive before the the release date--makes me feel special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizio59 Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 At the end of the video there is something that looks like some kind of brown marbled vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcpherson123 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Got shipping confirmation the other day but the package seems to be stuck in the Hell Gardens, CA PO. Delivery estimate is Monday the 8th. One day I'll learn to stop pre-ordering from SH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliminator Jr. Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) @fizio59 Might also be black, though, with the brownish cover art cheating our eyes into seeing colorful reflections that aren't there. - edit - I used it once, so this code may or may not work once again.

mcpherson123 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 No way the reflection of the record cover is causing the LP itself to look monochrome burgundy/brown. fizio59 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjkenney Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) Only half way through the first side and I am loving the hell out of this album. Variant seems to have come out more of an opaque brown with clears burgundy splatter.

Derek™ Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Fairly decent match with that album art and packaging. I'm still interested in grabbing that Euro retail, I think. There's no RC record I only own a solitary variant of and I can't start with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Mine showed up today, plan on listening to it once I'm done working. Mine has quite a bit of black splatter on the clear, but it's still kind of boring. I think the brown looks a little better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsleepOnRocks Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 So, I did something with this record that I've never done in all my years of collecting. I completely forgot that I ordered it. A couple days ago, when people started posting that they had received their copies, and posting pictures and whatnot, I was thinking "Hm, I really should get around to ordering a copy for myself." So, I hopped on the Sargent House merch site to grab one, and when I realized that all the variants were still available, I decided to wait a couple days until I got paid and I would probably order it this weekend. Well, lo and behold, there was my copy waiting for me in my apartment complex's office later that same day.

The Vool Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Well "brown w/ splatter" would have been a more decent description... I hope this will arrive at my place within the next two weeks...I want new RC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bortx Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 So I was wrong, there are two different US/EU variants with the same name, cool! anyway I think I am fine with the EU one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
