I ordered the splatter with screen print and haven’t heard anything from Near Mint about it.

I knew there’d been the lack of info on the website, but just now realized there’s nothing about it on their IG anymore either with all of their listed releases. Bootleg or not, that’s fine with me as long as I can listen to it 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The official Lydia IG reposted a Near Mint video of it spinning when it was first released, that's pretty much the only source of legitimacy with this press.

tokimedo Posted September 23, 2023 Author Share Posted September 23, 2023 wasnt the brown variant supposed to come with an obi stripe? mine did not. Anyone remeber the variants?

Doesnt help that theres no existence of this anywhere on near mint to reference. I think there may have been an option to include the OBI for like $10 more. Because I didn’t get one with my brown variant either and I know I wasn’t expecting too. Seems like all the variants are up on Discogs at least, but yet the only variant listed that includes the OBI is the brown one so yeah. No idea what’s going on haha Regardless, my copy sounds very good and I couldn’t be happier with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawhizz Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Ordered a leftover. The prospect of having a pressing without the SRC gaps was just too tempting, even if the artwork is a little sketchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
