zdkaiser Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Just recieved my copy. Here's a brief review. Very thin paper jacket. Simple insert with cover art. LP in standard paper sleeve. My record is without scratches or sleeve scuffs and is completely flat. A miracle it's not warped, as it seems every record I buy has some degree of edge warp. I think the LP sounded pretty good. No surface noise. Played clean. It's a bare bones re-release, but I'm happy to own a copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm now a little paranoid (not that I would care TOO much) because mine has started moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually coming to post this morning! I spoke with the 3rd party distributor about it. They asked me to verify if the vinyl itself is okay (which it is), and said since it's a signed copy it's a little bit trickier, but they're working to get a signed replacement jacket into my hands! "Okie doke! Can you confirm your shipping address? I'll arrange for a new jacket to be sent to you next week. 😀" Very happy to get a quick response from them about it!

Glad to hear that they are able to replace it, and now you can just slap one in a frame and call it art! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardboard_Robot Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I got my copy over the weekend, no shipping notice or anything, just showed up. Surprisingly it was in perfect condition, even with the flimsy cardboard mailer. As others have said the package is super flimsy, almost feels like the jacket would blow away in a breeze. Still somehow, no dents, dings, or creases (which amazes me), and the record itself is awesome. Looks great and sounds great. For those who are wondering about leftovers or future presses here is an excerpt from my most recent email from Kickstarter. Quote I missed the Kickstarter, can I buy an album? OR Can I purchase extra albums? Bummer. If we have any Kickstarter copies left over after fulfilling orders, we will make them available to purchase, sign up for email at presidentsrock.com to keep in the loop on that. If there are no leftovers, fear not, a plain black version of the album will be available to purchase in the fall via your favorite local record store. Let your local record shop know you want them to reserve you a copy and that they can order from Burnside Distro. NOTE! Burnside is not going to take direct-to-fan orders; you need to get the record through a shop. Support your local record store! Please! They need you! Just call them up and tell them what you want, and we're sure they'll be happy to help make it happen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRabbit Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) Not as lucky here unfortunately. Got it today-saw the cardboard mailer with a folded corner and knew I was going to be disappointed. Lower right corner of the jacket has a nasty crease and the vinyl has an audible warp off and on through the first side. I've reached out to the distro and hopefully they will help out!

I've never seen such a cheap flimsy mailer before. I can't believe mine had no damage. Hope they can help you. A friend of mine got in on this Kickstarter and he said his is part of a 2nd pressing? Or atleast that's how he worded it? Maybe they are still pressing these and can make it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipping a single LP with a paper thin sleeve in such a crappy mailer is asking for headaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faaip de oiad Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Oh shit! No notification since the backed up message few weeks ago then I come home today and found two stacks of shipments today,lol! One was my Eminem MTTBMB and the other PUSA! Suffice it to say I'm pretty happy this evening! (Wife too!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faaip de oiad Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Tis' true about the flimsy packaging! Several puncture holes and bends in the mailer. Luckily it did not puncture all the way thru and my record was spared! Hopefully, those of you who had a damaged record can resolve your issues...🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boaty McBoatface Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 You’re making me really nervous, guys... instead of heading north, mine got sent to Miami. At least it’s moving 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it’s moving 🙄 Spontaneous think-tank session: a PIXAR-type movie where mail packages have personalities, and a group of them decide to fraudulently change their destination to Miami to finally see the ocean and go on vacation. One of them is a record with a sad corner bump. erikness, vinny0190, faaip de oiad and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookups96 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Mailman left it in a really random place and it was out in the rain all night. Freaked out when I saw it, but looks to be in perfect condition even though the mailer basically disintegrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
