thenameisluigi Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Can't wait for the big bundle! Got the split color bundle from July a couple days ago. Didn't get a tracking email for that one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeah_totally Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) Got my /300 Anthem today from smartpunk *Spoilers for those who wanna be surprised * comes with a 12x12 screen print of the cover, matchbook, and is numbered by a gold foil stamp on the backcover.

The gold foil part applies to every copy of that particular variant (color in color blob, ended up being around 900 for that one if I remember right). And then the art print applies to the "first 300". Not 100% on whether that's the first 300 orders period, or first 300 of each variant. There's also a couple extra things SP mentioned for people that bought the big bundles. Edited December 16, 2020 by thenameisluigi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turk99 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Got my /300 today. No matchbook. But I got a sticker. Should I start a "I want my matches" thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinny0190 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Finally got my shipping notification for my koozie bundle, all this talk has me excited (even if the audio quality is reportedly not the best). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWasteOfATime Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I got a shipping email, but it appears on the email that they shipped me the bundle with both Split variants when I had ordered the color in color... My order was from 5/20, before the indie2 split variant was even available... might have a problem here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shenanigans Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Anybody else order the mega bundle? So much disappointment and I haven't even opened the records yet. There's 115 "test presses" AKA black vinyl versions with no labels. And even though I ordered the mega bundle with the 3 1st press versions (color doesn't matter so much to me) and test presses, I ended up with a 2nd press in my order. Hoping its a mistake and they can correct it, but interested to see if anyone else who ordered the mega bundle got 2nd press copies.

Oblivions Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 My favorite recent test press story is how the ‘test press’ copies of the new Matt Berninger album were produced and arrived with a delay AFTER every other variant was produced and delivered. Risky move to not get your test presses and check for audio flaws until after the entire run of vinyl is finished. 😁 shenanigans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe when I email them I'll ask them where the test press is. Tell them I got a black variant with plain white labels, but no test press hookups96 and mmhmm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shenanigans Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Confirmed they sent me the wrong variant. Are all 900 of the color in color #ed? Or just the first 300? Did only the first 300 get the screenprint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 900 of the color in color version are numbered, and not sure if its first 300 orders get it, or if it was the first 300 of each bundle.

derby625 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 (edited) Got mine today which I’ll open tomorrow. I ordered and was part of the original 300. Both came with screen prints with alternative cover art. Numbers for both are in the 200s Edited December 22, 2020 by derby625 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnywreck Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Finally got mine. Right variants on each, but no additional stuff. I know I got my order in with the first 300, but mine are numbered 396, and I’m bummed I didn’t get that alt artwork. At this point I’m just glad to have these goddamn records. I just hope none of my favorite acts work with this dumb label again. The amount of buffoonery surrounding this release is top notch garbage. I knew the second that I saw it was smartpunk that this shitshow would blow chunks and be late, but never thought it’d be this flurry of misinformation and bad service. Fingers crossed that these pressings don’t sound as bad as some earlier reviews I’ve read. shenanigans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyIceyo Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Mine are still "label printed awaiting whatever" since 12/13. I sent a nice understanding email to SP regarding any type of movement or explanation as to why they have been sitting there for 9 days, but to no avail. I get its holidays and its busier than ever, but there is no excuse to mark something shipped and have it sit there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onandonandon Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Mine is showing "label created" since 12/11. There is a chance that they haven't dropped it off yet or the post office may have just forgot to scan it. I recently shipped a record of my own that sat at "label created" for 11 days before suddenly switching to delivered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
