drewberinger Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I mean they’d have to completely repress the record similar to what Epitaph had to do with low teens all those tests presses DTR is selling - guess no one bothered to listen to them lol Justinadamk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is what they'll have to do if enough people or the band complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, maybe you can get by ignoring quality concerns and just approve whatever horrible sounding record. But seems super low bar to have some intern listen to the < 3 test presses that come in every week and say “Yes all the songs are there” and “Yes the labels and artwork we approved are in the right order” that’s like $50 of labor to avoid burning tens of thousands on represses.

Which version did you get? I got the standard, ‘non-3D’ insert and been only seeing that one and the UO version floating around online. If you ordered one with the 3D glasses or bundles maybe it’s holding up the order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had to go back and look. I got a non-3D one - Color In Color (Clear + Aqua). I guess I'll shoot over an email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justinadamk Posted Friday at 08:36 PM Share Posted Friday at 08:36 PM Sent an email to DTR earlier this week, and got this reply from their customer service 30 minutes ago. "Hello, I apologize for not responding earlier or reaching out preemptively, but I’ve been waiting for the responses from various parties regarding how to move forward… At this point, I’m not sure if you are aware of the issue with the pressing of New Found Glory’s “From The Screen To Your Stereo Pt. 2”, but it is missing track 3… We have reached out to all parties involved and I would like to say first that this result in faulty manufacturing is NOT the fault of New Found Glory, or of Drive Thru Records… I have been searching for a solution that frankly won’t bankrupt what we have had here. It has been a difficult year already and after personnel changes we feel that we have addressed the areas that needed more attention, and more importantly, can ensure that we won’t have the difficulties that we (and you) have been experiencing. I have been in touch with the manufacturing plant, and we are going to repress all copies of this printing of “From The Screen To Your Stereo Pt. 2”, and we will ship these out to you. Further, your order of this record will get you early access (via email) to the next release from New Found Glory that we will be pressing later this year. I know and understand that it is frustrating to wait for these to be shipped, delays in manufacturing, and then to have this happen; I assure you that it has been nothing short of a nightmare on my side and that I’m doing all that I can to try and make this right for you, the band, and all the fans" Glad they're rectifying the missing track! Just wish they shared this info proactively. I guess time will tell how this goes fuckinandsuckinandtouchin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyckelJay Posted Friday at 10:29 PM Share Posted Friday at 10:29 PM I didn't even know the NFG record were shipping out. I got the cheaper 3-D version, but haven't gotten shipping confirmation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc32137 Posted Saturday at 12:23 AM Share Posted Saturday at 12:23 AM Honestly, how could it not be DTR’s fault if they’re supposed to approve the tests beforehand? And I wonder what other NFG release they’re planning on releasing this year. Finally another NGCS repress? Or the first FTSTYS?

Just about the only scenario that makes sense is that they previously rejected a test press missing track 3 and then approved a fixed one but then the plant used the wrong plates for the final product.

I thought about that too, and it’s plausible for sure. But you’d think the bad plates would’ve been destroyed after they were rejected as a precaution. dantheriver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just figured I’d weigh in that it IS possible they weren’t at fault. Justinadamk and marc32137 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
