Tom Servo Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 YES! So stoked for this. That red variant looks absolutely incredible! But, I keep seeing these limited clear editions from Relapse, that then indicate (DO NOT REQUEST CLEAR), so how does one go about obtaining these clear variants?

I have a few clears and I have gotten them from all three. Tom Servo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was basically told if you don't like it you don't have to buy the clear but people pay so we do it (paraphrasing not quoting). I have friends in some of the bands give me clear so whatever i guess I'm part of the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have a person I talk to occasionally there but he's never really told me about what he pays for those. but I know I bought a wrong on clear and it wasn't too much more than what one pays retail.

That's cool. Im not a fan of the practice but like i said, its not like i wouldn't take a clear so I'm part of the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want the records and if someone reselling their special copy pays bills for someone who probably doesn't make a ton working for a record label, that's ok w me. but definitely realize it might rub some people wrong.

versusexcalibur Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 When i place an order with relapse, i always write in the notes "someday you'll surprise me with a clear" or something to that effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EHughes527 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 i wonder which retailer gets the /200 blue... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toomanyrecords Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I think I was able to snag a clear through some connections I have, so that's super fucking exciting. Also ordered the /900 because the variant is straight gorgeous. Tom Servo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Potter Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Ordered so fast. Really excited for this one. First new Owen yesterday and now this! yesssss. Its been months since anything has been announced that I was this excited for and now two popped up in less than 24 hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBuckeye30 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Pre-ordered this with fucking haste! Now to wait until late August... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 i haven't been blown away by anything since their last full length, but their output is consistent enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I'll probably grab that /900 if it's available next week. I like that Relapse isn't afraid to release something that's a bit outside of their norm from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toomanyrecords Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) So Relapse just sent an email saying the pressing plant fucked up and pressed the deluxe record as blue... Not gonna lie, I'm pretty fucking bummed. The red/white/black splatter one was amazing and matched the cover PERFECTLY. This looks cool, but doesn't match at all. Ugh.

Hairy Potter Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I got an email from Relapse Quote We are contacting you regarding your recent pre-order of the deluxe edition of The Album Leaf's new record "Between Waves". Due to a mix up at our vinyl pressing plant, this version of the record was pressed using blue vinyl for the merge instead of red as originally announced. We apologize for the change, but we still think that this record turned out awesome...you can view the final product below:If you wish to cancel your order for any reason please reply to [email protected]for assistance.Sorry once again for the inconvenience and thank you for supporting The Album Leaf and Relapse Records!-Relapse Mailorder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Servo Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Not nearly as cool, but it is what it is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
