natenomm Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I received mine yesterday, and the difference in quality between the packing for this and Birth of a New Day is noticeable. The sleeves are much thicker and have a nice matte finish to them, and the records themselves are a milky clear color quite thick. The sleeves are the shitty black paper ones that came with BoaND, but they're some sort of...plastic? They're definitely an improvement, but I still swapped out for MoFi sleeves right away just to stay on the safe side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure myself so I swapped them out, but if anyone else has anything to say about it I'm interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRHews Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) Beautiful warm sounding, heavy vinyl and great packaging. +1 - replacing my inner sleeves too jic... Edited August 4, 2016 by JRHews Rip and lethalenforcer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalnutSoap Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) Heads up - if you ordered a black Rain Temple repress, check your emails. Looks like there was a mix-up at the pressing plant and black vinyl is no longer available. They're offering transparent vinyl instead, but you've got to respond to their email to confirm that's ok.

So more of the first variant it sounds like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s_alvanip Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Seems to be the case. Good if you got in on the release later, bad if you wanted an early exclusive. I replied shortly after they sent out the email and got a shipping notification for the clear copy this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything that spurns the flippers is a-ok by me. lethalenforcer and s_alvanip 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flippers selling them for like $2 over cost on Discogs? They're screwed regardless. EHughes527 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalnutSoap Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Yeah, the fact there was a repress at all really killed the resale value. The fact it's now a clear is just fine with me. Still can't understand why they haven't repressed the first LP. Surely they know that there's demand. s_alvanip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. I believe a repress has been hinted more than once, but I'm wondering what the holdup is. Someone get that repressed on translucent purple vinyl so I can stop feeling guilty about missing the black 1st press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think that'd be an easy money-maker for the label too. Just throw a pre-order up and get it going man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunarjetman Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Received my copy of the clear variant yesterday. In the email I received from them, they promised a free gift for the inconvenience (!) of not getting a black vinyl copy, and inside the package was a 'Best of Dream Catalogue 2814-2815' CD. Nice bonus! Win/Win as far as I am concerned. I read somewhere that the wishes of a repress of the first album has been acknowledged, I understand it is because they had a fall out with the distributor / manufacturer so a new master will need to be created. I'm sure it will happen some time in the future though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
