Just received the replacement disc (which was only the disc in the package).

Not impressed by the „foggy blue“ considering what the original would have looked like. 
 

i really hope the new album will not be released by Red Creek!

 

Mine looked the same and I was a bit surprised actually. Not what I had expected.

And the inner sleeve was fucked despite being really secure packaged.

There is now another pressing with the blue cover art, "foggy orange".  It's basically another mispress but I think it looks really nice.

This EP has grown on me a lot. I'm really enjoying it now that I have started listening it again after a few months of break. When it was released it felt a bit boring and uninspired, but now I enjoy every song. Weird! Maybe it was just too early to start digesting it right after ADTF.

I don't think this is a new pressing.  The "misspress" of the Orange/Blue merge from the 1st press is this exact color.  I think these are probably the left overs from that.

I asked this on Facebook :). The plant tried to correct the first blue/orange/galaxy pressing and pressed 500 of these foggy oranges. Label and band did not accept them for a replacement copy so they did a third try and then got that foggy blue.

 

So there should be 500 of the first press, 500 of foggy oranges and 500(?) of foggy blue.

lol @ the never ending press comment

Also this EP rules.  This happens to me tho with albums where i don't love it immediately and come back to it and see it in a whole new light

So I reached out to them as well.  The first pressing was the supposed to be "orange/ sea blue galaxy /500"  what we received was a "foggy orange".  The band reordered the original color and again received a "foggy orange /500".  The band then opted to press "blue/light blue /500" and send those to the people who had purchased the original "Orange/blue galaxy".  I am one of those people.   

 I asked Red Creek if the number of total number of Orange would then be considers top be out /1000.  They said "No, Officially /500 First one did not count to us, as we replaced for another one".  So take that as you will but when I followed up again they basically said the Orange one that I originally received "Officially doesn't count".  In my mind the "foggy orange" is really /1000.  The red creek statement is basically "These aren't the droids you're looking for" .

 

Regardless I love the LP.  It was a solid and respectable move by Red Creek to send us an additional copy, but being a variant nut this is a weird scenario.

i suppose it would only matter if those original 500 are in circulation.  did they get destroyed or sent out?

We all received the original Orange/Blue and then we all received a Blue/light Blue replacement (without cover).  The original 500 Orange are in homes, now they have a rebranded Orange /500 up for sale and its the exact color as the original just named different.

My additional „Foggy blue“ came without a cover - so I assume all additional ones (or replacements) came w/out a. cover.

Mine came without a cover as well.  I still think it's amazing that they sent us all another color but it's confusing the pressing #'s with vague answers
