Did your caretaker come up with that witty retort, or did he just type that message for you? The image for the bundle on the website clearly shows two records coming out of one jacket. There's a lot of stupid shit that goes on in this record business. It's always nice to get some clarification. I hope you get a papercut when you open your next record. dantheriver, henster311 and Plarocks 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wargod Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 We've sold out of our webstore copies but you can still pick up both variations from Light in the Attic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrainGilliams Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Nice!! These turned out great. (not my picture) Also, if anybody is still looking for either variant, Light in the Attic Records still has both for sale. https://lightintheattic.net/releases/4465-rotting-pinata Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

got PTSD from RSD Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Great looking release! Curious to see final numbers for each color. I know wargod said "First press is limited to 1,000 copies worldwide", but they must've had a second pressing already in the works for other retailers because stock numbers just don't add up to 300/700 across all retailers. I know there are mixed opinions about wanting things to be strictly limited vs widely available but I think buyers should have all the information available to them. aopps42 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highfives Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I haven’t a/b’d this to the original but I did give the first side a spin. It sounds nice on the first pass. The biggest difference is really the artwork. The front cover has been recreated - the face artwork was redrawn and the candy corn is different. The back cover is entirely different - the original had pics of the band in colored squares, the reissue is white with black drawings. the original came with a printed inner sleeve with the liner notes while the reissue has a plain black sleeve and a flat insert. The original labels were red Columbia labels while these are red/yellow for the a/b sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, we're really happy with how it came out. Thanks for all the great feedback guys. pizza face and highfives 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't take the time to dig my CD out of the bin it's currently at the bottom of, but the LP was easy to reference. I'm in the licensing world, so I know how little IP owners can give you. I feel your pain on a daily basis. You guys did a good job. I was just noting the differences. Any plans for more Stabbing Westward?

Well someone pressed more because LITA alone sold more than the stated pressing numbers. Same goes for the Stabbing Westward titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

got PTSD from RSD Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I'm not arguing with them. Just letting people know. It's pretty easy to track stock levels over time by monitoring the source code. Source code doesn't lie and I've never known LITA to manipulate it.

jrodan Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 LOL, i can go ahead and guarantee that LITA has not sold anywhere near 1000 copies of the album. dare i say they haven't sold more than 100 or so. you crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any stake in this. Just telling you what I saw. Like I said, it's possible that LITA is faking their stock numbers and somehow keeping track of actual stock levels manually. But I've never seen them do that with any other title. Not to mention there would be no reason to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
got PTSD from RSD Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Sponge has been up for over a month, but take a look at the current stock of the Stabbing Westward titles and then you can choose to believe or not. Doesn't matter to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrodan Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 i have no idea what your point is with the stabbing westward stock situation and its regards to sponge. but i do appreciate you fighting the good fight to let the people know about Wargod's conspiracy to trick record buyers with false pressing numbers. finally someone is fighting the little guys for the little guys!
