timsimmons Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Thats fine. I think its awesome that the groop and RT are hooking people up that got stiffed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youspinmeround Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I got both editions on clear from the moose last week. They didnt package them too well(bubble wrapped but in too large a box so got so corner damage). Listened to transient about 5 times now. By far my favorite stereolab record and it sounds amazing. Hoping to finally move onto Mars this week At 30ish bucks a pop, these are a steal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Struck out on the scratch and win, but managed to get #1/500 for MAQ, so thats pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fondfarewell Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) Just got the /500 MAQ obi in today. Kind of unfortunate marker choice for the numbering. You can barely make it out. Will likely fade into nothing. No black Sharpies around? Edited May 10, 2019 by fondfarewell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Yeah, mine looks bad too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably paper so imagine so. Difficulty was likely in writing on the tape, but not sure why they couldn’t at least do black. Something like a grease pencil might’ve been ideal. Oh well.

timsimmons Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I saw that. I ended up getting a second set from discogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glass realms Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Got my clears from Bleep/Ochre today. Sadly, Mars Audiac Quintet arrived with a massive seam split on the top spine. I've emailed them to see if I can get a replacement. On the bright side, one of my two scratchcards was a winner. whoop whoop! timsimmons and CeCeCe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Going off the time window and release dates of the last reissues, I estimated a PO would drop in May at some point. Decided to feel it out by asking the band about a potential pre-order date – even a vague one – and they responded “no idea”. And then suggested to subscribe to the Lab report. So there’s that. Unrelated but something that’s been bugging me: all of these reissues are showing up in the stiff sleeves that you typically see with picture discs, right? (I own very few if any picture discs these days, so bear with me.) Or are they a different material? Just trying to make sure there’s no potential for them to “outgas” the vinyl inside or surrounding records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to make sure there’s no potential for them to “outgas” the vinyl inside or surrounding records. Yes, the outer sleeves are PVC. I always replace these for pic discs, but recently checked some of my other PVC’d LPs and there is definitely an odor and some chemical interaction with neighboring poly sleeves (they get kind of rippled). Records seemed fine, but long term, I don’t like it. I’m now storing printed PVC sleeves separately and just trashing generic ones (like these). FYI I found the stickers peel off very easily to transfer (though be careful of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CeCeCe Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 The 1st batch of releases had a late Feb pre-order for a 3rd May release so I'm guessing it will be in the next two weeks and a later August release Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I use the 5mm sleeves and they are still too small for these reissues, anyone have a good rec for sleeves that aren't the box set sleeves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
