Sounds like Ben’s wet dream. How many anal beads do you think 12 copies of this set could buy you, on the aftermarket? The aftermarket for the records, I mean. We don’t have to discuss aftermarket beads. batman and Tommy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why they didn't repress this one for RSD too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackshidt Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 Hi, I'm the guy who started this thread. I actually ended up owning two copies of 'Route One'. Don't get excited yet - I paid a fortune for them. I pre-ordered from two European stores hoping to get at least one of them, but both stores came through for me and sent me the album (after marking it up substantially). So, I paid 80 Euros plus shipping = $116.00US for one of them: if someone here wants to buy it from me for $100US I can ship immediately from California. The disc is brand new and unplayed. As far as I can tell, I can get about $116 or so on Discogs or on Ebay, since very few are offered for sale from USA customers. I can provide proof of my original cost if someone wants to see it first. I would love to have bought the cheap ones offered by XL but I did not get those.

stl_ben Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Is this for the original hand painted (If so great deal) or for the new RSD version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackshidt Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 Sorry I wasn't more clear. This is for the retail 1000-count RSD version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I've got a small split on Untitled as well. Records themselves feel nice and heavy. Spinning Untitled now and it's very quiet as far as noise goes. Sleeve has a nice texture to it. Surely they were trying to replicate the hand made nature of the initial run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered that about the texture as well. I just thought it was strange that the back was open and the sticker was directly on the sleeve instead of shrinkwrap. Will listen once my little ones go to bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 In the spirit of this thread and some of its participants, can I ask if the open back makes for easier access? batman, Shelby and jack8urt0n 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Alex Somers had a seam split too I am thinking most of them were like this from shipping from UK to USA?

trickster Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 (edited) When a record comes unsealed and the vinyl is in a generic inner sleeve but the record label shipping department fails to separate them from the printed inner, then quitting is an one way road Edited May 1, 2018 by trickster thievedrelic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack8urt0n Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Email from Rough Trade on Route One: Dear Sigur Ros Customer, We truly apologize, but we must cancel this order. We never received a single copy of this title for Record Store Day. We begged and pleaded with XL and our UK shop to try and get some copies, but as this was so limited, there were none left by the time the orders had been placed. I truly apologize for our error. This item should not have ever been available online, but a bug in our site allowed products with zero inventory to be sold into the negatives, even if we had never formally activated them. We have since patched this out, but I understand that it is ultimately very disappointing. We will keep your information on file, and if we hear of a future repress, or a special edition of a new Sigur Ros title, we will do our best to offer it to you first. Again, truly sorry. Feel free to write me at ________________ with any comments, concerns, or anything else I may help with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossdj26 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Got the same. Bummer. Should have just ordered from XL; I was trying to help out Rough Trade NYC since it's local. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
