And will it be for everyone or just those that have sent them emails complaining about the noise? I got an email from them stating the repress. Both my initial copy and replacement copy had the sound issue. I had to send them videos of the issue. chrisapple 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For as quickly as it shipped and delivered, I think $65 isn't super crazy. Overseas shipping is nuts right now, so if you knock off the $15-20 for that, you're looking at $45-50 for a triple LP. I've seen single and double LPs at $45-50 these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have heard back from the pressing plant and have two options for people who received a replacement that did not solve the issue. We will be receiving a repressing of the record, estimated to be around October, and will send out a copy to everyone who experienced the issue when we get them! In addition to this, I can offer one of the following two options while you wait for the repressing. I can either refund the cost of the Mars Volta record back to your card, or ship out one of the records on the list below now! Please let me know which option you would prefer and if you have any questions!" You'll need to contact them to request a replacement.

highfives Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 FYI, Clouds Hill said once all of the individual releases come out, the built-in shipping will go away and you’ll be able to bundle LPs without paying for individual shipping for each. So if you’re waiting to buy a couple, you’ll have to wait until after January to get the break in shipping cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheriver Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Lol makes sense…. make people wait until January to place an order instead of doing it like every other store on the internet and doing one shipment when the last thing released comes out. buddha4281, daegor and highfives 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dhesketh Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) Nevermind. I originally wrote about how I picked up a used copy of the VMP de-loused and the static didn’t bother me. After a few more listens it bothers me. Edited August 15, 2021 by Dhesketh I was wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gross ass color though. Of course everyone who bought their CH direct LP will be extra galled by the fact that a cOl0rEd variant is cheaper than their now extra expensive, obsolete and disgustingly plain black copy.

That's how the VMP version worked a few months ago and there wasn't much of an uproar. The gold VMP does indeed sound horrible compared to my black CH copy which is flawless though. I honestly think them being 20 grams too light was a bigger deal to everyone... lmao fucking weirdos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True that to all that. But in general I always expect backlash when people panic buy a non-color copy only to find out there is a color copy released months later. It tends to cause an uproar but you're right. The consensus overall seemed pretty chill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The consensus overall seemed pretty chill. My favorite is when people claim that they were slighted or deceived by the label when this happens. Especially when there is no mention of a one-time press or limited run. "They lied to me and now I have to pay another $30 to own this on colored vinyl otherwise my collection is inferior! Such bullshit. Greedy ass dishonest labels. 😭" I've read comments on social media that are aligned to that with ~90% accuracy, no irony or exaggeration. mcpherson123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based solely on the fact that I listened to the MOV once and the CH once (years apart) the CH is superior. I've not done a side by side and my setup has changed for the better since, but I'm guessing the CH is superior. Having typed all that, the MOV sounded just great. So...I dunno.

jaba1337 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 FTM sounds great. No complaints. Still extremely happy with my "bootleg" silver MOV copy of deloused, sounds excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
