shenanigans Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 5 minutes ago, corey. said: 300-ish copies of the split were sold. 100 of the yellow are available. That's only 1/3 of the customers. But also - they all already own a copy of this, so giving specifically 1/3 of the 300 orders a chance to re-buy a second copy privately seems unreasonable as hell lol. *Coming from someone who bought the split thinking it was /100 but not up in arms about it Only 100 people ordered the split... Maybe I should have worded that better. The 100 people who ordered the split should get first dibs at the other /100 version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorrisNuts Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 As someone who would be grateful to own any variant, my only chance of getting a copy is when the yellow goes up, so I hope I still get a chance. corey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be fair if they offer the yellow to those who ordered /100 and got /300 to return their /300 for them to resell. Obviously if this is their mistake they should pay the return shipping, but they didn't say if it was a pressing plant issue or their mistake. That said, if I were to be offered the /100 yellow I'd sell my /300 split at cost if someone here wanted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main issue with this is having customers with no shipping experience sending these fragile pizza boxes/records all over the globe that would inevitably lead to damages and more problems. Also it was said that the plant mixed up the pressing numbers I believe. Edited January 6, 2020 by corey. NorrisNuts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it was said that the plant mixed up the pressing numbers I believe. Not a requirement, just an option. Could be packed back in the same box with the same materials the new one is sent in and I was thinking sent back to the label though it'd be more efficient to ship direct.

fuckinandsuckinandtouchin Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Spinning this now and it surprisingly sounds really good. Dead quiet pressing too. My only issues are the seam splits and lack of any liner notes (although the Stephanie/Richard note was cool). It’s a long shot, but a sort of oral history all these years later from the bands/label would have been awesome, but that’s a job in itself. @thedillon killed it and my vote for the next Drive-Thru reissue would be... a pressing of the first ‘I Can Make A Mess’ album 👍 beta114 and derkwithano 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkellyislegit Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) @thedillon Any insight to when the Yellow pressing will release? I was traveling when the first batch was announced and instantly sold out and was devastated since this release is one of those all time important albums that shaped my youth. Whoever runs the DTR instagram said it was going to release this week, but it doesn't look like thats going to currently happen.

thedillon Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 Thanks so much for all the kind words regarding the packaging and the release! I still haven’t even held one in my own hands 😂 Regarding the last 100... we are still waiting on the green light from drive thru’s fulfillment company that they are ready for the release. As soon as we have an update I promise we will let everyone know! Just follow the instagrams closely @fielddayrecords @drivethrurecs . I’ll also try to give a heads up here but IG is everyone’s best bet! Plan is to announce a time and date before the time and date so that everyone has a fair chance.

Maybe we can limit it to one per household. Giving VC a heads up would be a little more unfair than the alternative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah there’s no way to really do that As much as we would love to it’s impossible to please everyone! Fairest way is to announce the order time, limit to one per household, and let it go! Anyway, it’s still technically Drive-Thru’s release so I can only suggest what we would do. corey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derkwithano Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 What a scam. Forcing the people that missed this initially and have been waiting months for an update on this final variant to buy a t-shirt in order to get it. Horrible business practices.

I'm happy to report that you are not required to purchase the bundle if you aren't feeling the "terms and conditions". Looks like this sold out pretty quickly, which of course justifies it's market price. I agree that I would rather buy this for $30, and not the bundle as well, but it's definitely not horrible business practice. They're a for-profit business, they see demand, and created a win/win for the individuals who did indeed follow through with the purchase.
