Basically you pay a deposit before you got to press, then when it’s completed they hold the shipment until you pay the balance. The balance reflects how many units were finished. We’re on our 20th release now and FDR19 and FDR20 (chroma and ocean avenue) are the only ones we’ve had underages on. It could be a number of reasons but the plants always claim quality control.

I guess time will tell as people continue to post photos. Also Fuck underages I’m so annoyed that our last two releases had underages after always having overages. I just received my black copy today in the UK and its #00487. I thought there were 484 of the black but seeing your comment I guess there could be 500 after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boaty McBoatface Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I thought QC was typically done on the individual components (records, sleeves, inserts) before they were assembled and sealed. It looks to me like this was a case of some goof at the plant dropping a box of final product and damaging them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivions Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 My theory is a factory employee got hungry and thought no one would notice a small bite missing from several copies. His manager Talbot walks in, holding a red thermos filled with piping hot breakfast soup, the eggs still bubbling and small bits of bacon swimming up to the surface. Talbot looks towards his employee Reynaldo, mouth full of cardboard and hard vinyl, and gasps. “We don’t allow this,” Talbot whispers. Reynaldo turns in shame. “A part of me wonders,” Reynaldo says, “if I always wanted to get caught.” Talbot is silent. He grabs a clipboard and he writes on the attached paper. Reynaldo knows what it says but he can not resist looking. He walks behind Talbot and places his chin over his shoulder and reads: Make 18 more copies of the Yellowcard record. That’s what probably happened, based on the info shared above. backpackoat, SkiptotheEnd, corey. and 4 others 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume right now is likely my best time to buy since the supply is high (in scalper's hands.) I didn't really want to pay $130 for the album. but desperate times.

I’m merely frustrated by the fact that there are flippers just waiting to prey on anyone with your sentiments. They’re keeping the record out of your hands just to turn around and sell it back to you for a sick profit. My advice is simply to not let them do that. FDR has promised a repress. We can only hope it won’t sell out in less than three minutes next time! IndigoHollow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
