Photos: Thrice "Alchemy Index" box set (FINALLY!)

[thomasofthejames]

THIS IS NO JOKE GUYS: Right after I posted these photos, Cobraside said for us to hold off on shipping because there might have been an issue with the stamper on the 4th 10" and there might be a skip on every box set. This shit is cursed. Fuck!

It figures I'd read this RIGHT AFTER ordering one. Seriously.

[Guest Admin]

so we listened to the first track on the 4th 10" and half way through the track, there is a really bad crashing noise and loops and continues on and on. This record is cursed; they are figuring out now their next step. I assume they are gonna plan to send us another 4th 10" and will ship them all together.

for those of you who got copies from vagrant, check your 1st track on the 4th 10", Side G.

Would listening to a test press have prevented this?

[jmt873x]

so you can't ship this until you get the new 4th 10"

i guess they could ship it and send us the fourth after getting it, but no sense making VC's life more difficult because someone else fucked up.

[jmt873x]

i hope they do just ship as is and then the new 10"

[acorren1]

Wow. I'm pretty glad I held off on picking this up at this point. Fucking Cobraside.

[travis]

Ive waited this long, I cant wait a little longer til they get the 4th 10" right.

Im not even mad, its just funny at this point.

[Guest duhpunk]

i thought people had already received this in the mail? photo's are floating around the internet, no one has listened to it yet? wtf? the plant didn't even test it until after shipping it?

wtf is going on?

I thought the same.

[thedavidescapeplan]

Why does anyone deal with Cobraside? I don't fucking get it. They never seem to do anything right.

[mattisr1984]

sooo would have listening to the tests caught this? or no? i didnt order it so i guess im not sweatin' it, but all i can say is wow. feel bad for the folks who bought these in like what... june of 08?

[troymess]

Those photos look absolutely incredible. I really want to buy this, but I may wait until the dust settles on this one. The amount of problems plaguing this release in unreal.

[bruins4ever]

Bwahahaha fuck me.

[jmt873x]

Yup, been waiting on this since then. Kinda funny how many delays this thing has had.

[monk0nuggets]

LOL

[pjaicomo]

Just listened. Mine is fucked up. Awesome.

[monk0nuggets]

But seriously, hopefully they'll have them shipped by July, so they don't go past the one year mark.

[blanketbyday]

so how does the rest of it sound? i mean the non fucked up part? was it woooorth the wait jaicomo?

Virgil this situation just reinforces my thoughts of you being the best online distributer for vinyl. Even though this took forever to get out and it will take a little longer to get because of this, Virgil is going out of his way to hold on to the sets and ship the corrected copy together. I dont know what its going to be like for people who got there copies from other distributors or stores. So glad I ordered this through VC, Thanks Virgil.

[rediar]

I would have to agree with this... I've bought a lot of vinyl from VC and I looked elsewhere for this release and now I'm having to dig and search through records of who i Pre-Ordered with so I can see if i'm getting both the shitty copy as well as the newer one. I'm going exclusive VC when I can.. it would have been worth the extra

7$ i saved.

I love VC and I love Virgil, but what else would he do? It would cost him more money to ship them separately.

[vinylme]

He could have passed the cost on to the people who ordered the set since it wasnt his label that made the fuck up. I would also like to add I ordered from Virgil when it was originally posted and when cobraside decided to increase the price Virgil didnt charge the the people that ordered when I did the increase. Which is another thing he could have passed on to us.
