counterfiction Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 to any of you who ordered a copy of the recently "found" copies of Transatlanticism, I have a question. Notice a difference in the spine print? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lechevre Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Yeah I haven't gotten anything either (record, refund, or email) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counterfiction Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 everything is exactly the same minus the bottom of the spine print. the original I have has an image of the barsuk dog and the new one does not. don't know what this means.

ronniethebear Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I would think that it means we were lied to. Again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counterfiction Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 either that or there were seperate spine prints depending on where the record was sold (retail vs. online) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronniethebear Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 True. But somehow I doubt they would go to the trouble of printing different ones the first time around. These labels should learn that if they're going to try and pull a fast one on us by repressing and calling it a first press, print the goddamn jackets the same way. We're some observant, scrutinizing motherfuckers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counterfiction Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 i wouldn't have noticed except i slipped my new copy next to the old one and I picked it up for some reason. it's so miniscule i would think that 99% of people wouldn't notice it.

scottheisel Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Maybe they're the import copies? Those wouldn't have a Barsuk logo on them, would they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counterfiction Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 they wouldn't have the Sonic Boom logo if they were imports. they have the Barsuk logo on the back and the sticker on the front it's just the bottom of the spine print that's different.

riddle350 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I had heard that while this was in print they actually did two different runs even though the first never went out of print. So maybe it could just be that. I still don't have mine though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I would think that it means we were lied to. Again. Same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I would think that it means we were lied to. Again. Same. It makes no sense for him to have lied -- if they did a new pressing, they'd obviously have more than enough to fill all orders, and people wouldn't be having their doubles canceled or their orders held (which is what it looks like mine is). Wouldn't he want to be making money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadetapplesauce Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 no worries. still a great record, regardless of what press it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 ^^ I realized that I quoted the wrong post by ronnie...D'oh! I still haven't gotten mine. But I did get an email from Jason saying that they refunded me for 1 of 2...and that one has already gone out...so I should see it by next week...hopefully.

xxmartinxx Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Hmmm... interesting. I didn't compare my new one to my old one. I'll have to check when I get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnywreck Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 sooo...does this mean someone wants to sell this to me for less than the insane amounts it's going for online? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

counterfiction Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 sooo...does this mean someone wants to sell this to me for less than the insane amounts it's going for online? It's only going for about $70 now. which isn't bad, it's a great record that's OOP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 as much as i'd love for it to be first press, a logo at the bottom of the spine is absolutely stupid to get all rilled up about. i have transatlanticism on 180g vinyl for $25 so i'm all set.

xxmartinxx Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Maybe the one with the Barsuk dog is the second press? How do we know? I forgot to check my old copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
