The sticker on the front also only said “color vinyl”. Nothing to indicate it was one of the 200 GITD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Grapes Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Email from Rough Trade (I ordered the GITD): “I'm reaching out to everyone who preordered the Hatchie, Keepsake LP to let you know in a delay in our shipment, as our distributor has informed us that they unfortunately have misplaced our copies. They have assured us we will have our copies shortly, but at this time we do not have an exact date that we will have them in hand. I will make sure to keep everyone in the loop, and let you know exactly when we receive them.” patreeeek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I was mostly joking, but yeah – I have seen some pretty “milky” looking GITD variants that ended up not resembling their intended color. Pretty unfortunate mixup; hope they can sort it out for you both. patreeeek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan P Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I ordered the GITD blue from Double Double Whammy and tracking says it will arrive Wednesday. I’ll keep you posted when it arrives what color it actually is. patreeeek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldo Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I also ordered the GITD version but got this: https://i.imgur.com/s41lVtZ.jpg which looks nothing like the "blue" advertised nor does it glow in the dark http://www.dbldblwhmmy.com/news/posts/10830-hatchie-without-a-blush-full-length-album-keepsake-out-6-21 I emailed them about it as well. I did get the keychain though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patreeeek Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) Hatchie re-posted someone's instagram story with the glow in the dark blue vinyl so someone got one. Glad to see I wasn't the only one who didn't get the right one. Less bummed I didn't get the keychain even though I ordered the vinyl the second it went on sale that morning. Mine looks a lot more like the milky clear vinyl in the pic here. Edited June 25, 2019 by patreeeek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tape Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Hm. Mine's not scheduled to arrive until thursday. Guess I'll definitely have to crack it open right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Just got mine and it is also clear and not glow in the dark. Looks like they really messed this one up. patreeeek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patreeeek Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 They said “The Glow in the Dark and Milky Clear look extremely similar in regular light, have you had a chance to expose your copy to light and then test it in the dark? The glow itself is a subtle blue, so it can be hard to see.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 You know a variant is baller when you have to turn off the lights and squint at it to get the full effect. fish, tape and patreeeek 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patreeeek Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Has anyone who received one tested the "expose your copy to light" suggestion? I don't own any other glow in the dark records so I had no idea this was something that needed to be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more you expose it to the more glow it will have. I just had mine out in normal room light for a couple minutes when i ran home for lunch and then brought it into a dark closet and didn't see any glow. My kid's toys glow good enough that way. That along with the fact that it looks just like the other not-really-limited-variant made me think it wasn't gitd. But I will blast it with a high power flashlight or my wife's screenprinting lights for a minute when i get home and try again. patreeeek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldo Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 After getting the response from DDW I held my record under a bright light for a good solid 30 seconds https://i.imgur.com/25A6KV2h.jpg and managed to get it to glow https://i.imgur.com/CWYnPX6h.jpg. I'm familiar with other glow in the dark items and records but usually they are a bit stronger without having to "charge" it so much. fish and patreeeek 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tetsuodaironman Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Well, I guess I am not so upset about having to get the milky clear after all. Otherwise, I am waiting for the VMP variant. Apparently they took the listing down from their site because they accidentally shipped an unknown amount of their variants to retail shops (lol). When they figure out how many they actually have in their warehouse I guess they will relist theirs (supposedly). patreeeek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed the label about seeing if I could grab a copy (missed out too late) and never heard from them. But seems like no one got the galaxy vinyl from hashtags or here as well. patreeeek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patreeeek Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I can confirm after placing the vinyl into a bright light for a few seconds and then heading into a dark room, it glows like the photo from Aldo above. Apologies for the confusion that I started. I mean when it’s not glowing, it looks way too much like the milky clear mock-up on their website so it was very easy to confuse.
