steventangent Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 I really want that. I wonder if it will be significantly different than the US version? Especially with the US dollar having just hit a record low against the Euro, I'd feel dumb buying this and having it be nearly identical to the US one.

frank Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I don´t think there are big differences. Maybe the gatefold sleeve or the mp3 download. The differences I noticed in the past between Epitaph US and Epitaph Euro/Burning Heart -The Euro releases always have printed cardboard innersleeves instead of an insert -most of the stuff was pressed on heavy 180gr vinyl, for example the last Bad Religion records and I think also Reconstruction site... But these differences are marginal, plus by the time you receive the record from Europe, the US vinyl might be out as well I might pick up a copy today, if so, I´ll post pix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 so I picked up the european Burning Heart Weakerthans vinyl today, here some pix for you: features: heavy, non-glossy gatefoldsleeve, printed heavy innersleeve, 150gr. wax, mp3 download coupon the mp3 download is from the epitaph.com site, so I assume the US press will have it as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steventangent Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 God, it was like a month ago that I made the comment that was here, and reading it just now grossed me out. So it's edited! Gone! Fuck it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Man, Epitaph needs to hurry up and release this in the US NOW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skumbucket Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 did they really put a sticker on the front cover? i hate it when that happens... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 yeah, they did. Actually the record came shrinkwrapped and they could have easily placed it on there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefwahoo Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 A shrinkwrapped European release? You sure that wasn't done secondhand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 yeah, I know it´s unusual but the record store had like 8 copies of the record, all shrinkwrapped. Epitaph Europe/Burning Heart stuff allways comes shrinkwrapped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefwahoo Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Even outside of that particular store? I know some stores do it themselves. I've never had a shrinkwrapped Burning Heart release. Interesting. I guess that's good, they really should shrink them anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I´ve seen them in two different stores, all came shrinked. Plus the shop where I bought my copy is a small punkrock recordstore, not a big chain. Most of his stuff is unsealed. I think Euro Epitaph/Burning Heart just started shrinkwrapping them some time ago, I remember as well the older releases weren´t shrinked. But the last two european Bad Religion LPs also came shrinkwrapped. I don´t see too much sense in shrinkwrapping records anyway. Unsealed makes it easier to check for color wax and the shrinkwrap doesn´t provide much protection to the sleeves at all. So why do companies seal vinyl? Anyway, this is absolute nerd talk. We better stop it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steventangent Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 So first it was bumped back to October. Then November 20. Now it's been bumped to December 4. Even though $23 euro is like $33.20 USD, that Euro press is really starting to look tempting. Especially considering I have a sneaking suspicion the US version isn't even going to be a gatefold, and it's gonna be on really cheap vinyl, and it's gonna get pushed back at least one more time. I saw them just over a week ago and I'm still psyched about it, if that says anything about how much I love this band. I guess it depends how much my phone bill is and what my overtime from last week looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
