Guest Admin Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Just picked up the final repress of Minus the Bear's "Planet of Ice". These took a little bit longer than I had hoped, but records almost always do. I think both colors turned out nice even though I was expecting something completely different for the Clear w/ Purple Splash. I think that the folks at Rainbo who work with Record Pressing just don't have the ability to separate out colors. While I might not have ordered this color had I known they would have turned out this way, I do like how they turned out. What do you think? For those of you curious about when these records will ship, they are being packed and shipped as I write. I hope to get most out today, but some will go out tomorrow. Thanks for everyone's patience. And I wanted to offer a test pressing to one person who can identify the at least 5 differences between this final repress and the previous pressings. Email me your submissions and I will pick a winner in about a month from now. I will also pick the normal test pressing winner sometime next week. Good luck.

Guest Admin Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 and while it might look like I am palming those records, the only part of my hand touching the vinyl is on the side and on the label. Those of you worried about the acids on my hand compromising the vinyl need not worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xadamhudsonx Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I'm not a fan of the granite color, but I think the purple one came out really nice. I like that effect a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Admin Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 and anyone thinking about entering the contest, you won't win unless you have the records in hand. there are at least a few differences you will only notice upon having the records. thanks.

jhulud Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I like how they turned out. Can't wait to get mine on hand to see what the differences are to enter the TP contest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonesomexloveus Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 i reeeeeeally dig the purple (almost enough to buy it). the granite is too greenish and blah for my taste (though maybe the green tint is just a white balance issue with the photos?)

deafmx Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I'm still curious how the cash grab green would have turned out. :-/ googlemyass got the possibility of the color scheme stuck in my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkfoster8 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Those photos look even better than what was posted on VC, jhulud. I'm excited to get both copies now. Was a little skeptical on the granite at first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Is it me or do these sound a little dull compared to the previous presses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinyl Fury Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 is this the only pressing that doesn't have printed inner sleeves? i was comparing it to my friend's 2nd press (tour edition) and the packaging seemed a bit nicer. haven't compared the sound yet, but isn't this new press from a new stamper? different pressing plant than the 2nd press too, which seems to be Pirate Press.

garrygumguru Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I'll probably pick this up from Suicide Squeeze. I'm not buying from VC again until I get my last order from back in April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
