hammertime Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Anyone know the deal with the tricolor version? I've heard a couple things about this coming out of the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's take a breath and all remember what happened with Radiohead's last album on white and how we all freaked out. I ended up buying two copies because I was scared one wasn't going to come through. Then they were fairly plentiful and now you can get one for under $35. That band is bigger than Sleep(though they shouldn't be) and that record was limited to 9000. Yes, I can say this calmly now that I have a green, but I think all of you will get one. TMR is just running this through the hype machine and those of us who actually love the band are shitting ourselves as we see flippers flip. I still hope I can stumble across a split. NM you said they were fairly plentiful.. sorry got carried away. .still on my way to grab a copy.. Store Credit FTW!!

Or it’s 4/20! You have to get that split! its for suckers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clerk3745 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 IMHO I don't like the split version's cover. hammertime 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusted_By_Space Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 (edited) Has the 10.000 on the green actually been confirmed? I didnt think sleep was big enough to push that many vinyl copies. Plus tmr’s websote is already selling a black version as well, and theres that split color to boot. Good for them though if that many people are into them, they very well should be.

mcpherson123 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Nice. Translucent green works nice and I really love the regular cover. Looks like I might have a shot at getting a copy on Monday. Either way ordered black from TMR. faaip de oiad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancy_raygun Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Picked up the last green/black split at my most local shop that was carrying it. I think the limited has a better cover but I was disappointed to hear that the official release is a gatefold. Not sure why they wouldn't also make the limited a gatefold, unless they're just fucking with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicondevil Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Just noticed there are two different types of hype stickers for the green version. Collector nonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Yeah, I much prefer that gatefold outer cover image and the insert is cooler too than the split color one too. Though I do dig the all green background with the print on it. Still I prefer the overall aesthetic of the gatefold version. I hope its the same for the black copies.

Shelby Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 That looks like a heavy duty Stoughton tip on jacket too. Pay $20 more for a much thinner wide spine single pocket jacket with a fucking piece of paper insert and ugly variant because it's more limited... Jack White should seriously feel shitty about ripping people off that way. You'd think him of all people would at least try to not make it so obvious he didn't start up a pressing plant to improve the industry but to milk it even more.

Personally, I think the alt cover is gorgeous and the variant is too - however I completely agree on the front re: Jack White. Not a fan of his business practices at ALL.

I really like the alt cover too but it's a piece of thickish paper compared to the standard jacket that you could use to murder someone with if you really wanted haha. Imagine a mirrorboard tip on alt-cover I don't think there would be nearly as many complaints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hezagenius Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 @Bladewillisisdead That's kinda of what I figured. I didn't want to order somewhere online and end up getting a black if there were still greens out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
