northernfailure Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 From DeadFormat Mastodon's latest album "Crack The Skye" is now available to order on "VERY" limited red and gold vinyl. This version is a single LP and comes housed in a single pocket jacket. http://mastodonrocks.com/merch Came to about $26 after shipping in the US. I had been waiting to buy it, and now I'm glad I did. This version looks pretty sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casey Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I just wish someone knew what "very limited" means. I'm guessing 500. I just went to the site and put 10,000 in the quantity box and it didn't say I could only by X amount of copies. Sometimes that works to give a rough guess of how many were printed.

thechuckdiezel Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I would think since warner put it out it has to be over 500 I would assume something like 1500-2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 i ordered it too. it cost the same thing, about 26USD to ship to canada. i'm pretty excited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernfailure Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 The fact that they pressed some crazy amount on black single and double vinyl, and said this colored one was VERY limited, makes me think it's 1000 or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentgods Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 got a black already. i am sort of wondering if the deluxe is worth upgrading to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thechuckdiezel Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 got a black already. i am sort of wondering if the deluxe is worth upgrading to. Eh I wouldn't spend the money when things like Pelican, Sunn O))) and OX are coming out you will not notice a big difference in sound and its harder to listen to the record more flipping. But to each his own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 so people started getting this colored record yet? when did it go on sale? when did you guys buy it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circlingvultures Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 i bought mine either late thursday or early friday morning. I got mine on tuesday. They actually ship it fast. I got two lp's and they came in a box that could hold about 40 lps with some bubble wrap on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmart Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Someone on the DF thread said they were told by WB there were 650 of these pressed. I think these have been available for a little over a week now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptrsev Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Yeah, think these went up on sunday or maybe monday. No way it's "VERY limited" seeing as it's still available. Unless it's like Seinfeld "limited to the number we're able to sell" type limited. My guess would have been 2000 copies, if 650 is correct then I gotta say that is pretty cool.

ptrsev Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 And yeah, I have to admit I was weak and ordered one. The album is pretty good no doubt, in an old school meets new school kinda way, but the 2-disc release was definitely not worth the dough. Little bit unforgivable that they fucked us with the no show of the 7". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernfailure Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 I'm fucking bummed. I ordered this the day it went up and apparently my order didn't process correctly or something, so now I'm just out of luck. When you're on an unlucky streak, even the little things like record-buying are ridden with bad luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northernfailure Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 Apparently it was some other charge that was $26, it didn't say what it was in my online bank statement until the other day. But it wasn't from Mastodon. I emailed them on Monday night about it, to see if there was any chance I could still get a copy, but I've gotten no reply.

ptrsev Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 That sucks man, I can sympathize. So ebay then? Mastodon's probably too big for this to be cheap there, I dunno, I never really looked for them, what're you looking at for this, 2-3 times retail price maybe? I wouldn't think it was as bad as the new Isis on clear at least, hehe, that got a little wild, I saw a guy wanting 200 bucks for that I think, 200 bucks for a 20 bucks record, sick sick sick! Well anyways, here's hoping your luck changes soon enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernfailure Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 So I actually got this record in the mail today. Yesterday my card was charged and I got an email saying that it was in the mail. So fucking weird... they took almost a week to charge me and never sent a confirmation. Regardless, I'm stoked, this record looks sweet. Goes well with the artwork.
