Did they only have 100 copies available for sale initially of the gold demos? Kung Fu/Cleopatra seems to do that a lot. Wait for the first 100-200 sell out then post the rest...I ask because it says there's only 7 left of the gold and I doubt they sold 493 copies of this in two days.

It's the ataris, youd be surprised.

Assuming that every listed supporter on Bandcamp 48 x 6+1 (289 ppl) bought one, only half were put up. This is, of course, assuming that there aren't more Bandcamp doesn't show for whatever reasons. 

Just bought 1, so 1 left...

They put them up in waves for whatever reason. I snagged one yesterday when it said there were 3 left and then saw they put up more later that afternoon

Apparently the waves are random. I just bought one and it said "1 remaining." Now it says "2 remaining." Either way, I'm pumped to listen to this.

It may be the Ataris, but really it's THE ATARIS to like maybe 200 people. Let's be real here.  That being said, I purchased it. Fun to have both the demos and full-length.

You’d be surprised. I’ve seen Tsunami Bomb (who also release vinyl on Cleopatra) go through pressings of 500 in a few days.  They never had nearly the following The Ataris did in their heyday.

Finally got paid, stoked I was able to snag this one.  It said  " 19 remaining "  before my purchase so assuming 18 left now.  Has anyone received it yet?

Showed up yesterday afternoon, so I'll play it soon. Sealed w/ hype sticker (unexpected), also it was wrapped in bubble wrap and double boxed. :o

that is strange...I havent seen hype stickers in a long time.

 

edit- are you talking about the sticker that says "gold color vinyl" because I wouldn't really call that a hype sticker.

Yeah, I know it's not ACTUALLY a hype sticker, but I solidly expected an unsealed sleeve and MAYBE a poly bag? The thing looks record-store-ready.

Mine also showed up yesterday and I was super confused when it came.  It said that it was from Cleopatra Records, it was oddly shaped... which turned out to be because in a mailer inside of another mailer, and it was double wrapped in bubble sheet... I was impressed in the same way that I get impressed by people who squeegee the tub after showering.

Sweet, let me know how it sounds dude. I hope mine comes sealed with a hype sticker too! B)

I'm glad this came out.

The record itself sounds great. Occasional pop or whatever, but I only brushed it.

Most of the songs sound release worthy (8 of 9 is an exception here, imo). A couple are barely distinguishable from original release (Diary). I favor a lot of these versions over the actual release. Stoked I bought it.

 

Great job putting this out, Kris!
