patrickemmons Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 While not chosing sides here, i think you guys are misunderstanding what Brent is saying. He is saying that it adds to the price of the record therefore making it worthless. Meanwhile color variants dont normally add to the price. i could be wrong, i am worthless. I'm not sure how this adds to the price of the record - the single copies of each album were $12.99 - so times two equals $25.98. If someone bought the 2-pack which includes one of each record + two double sided hand screened liner notes & this obi strip that's $24.99 - so you actually saved $.99 and get the liner notes & obi strip for free - something that was made as a bonus for those fans out there who wanted a little more than just the vinyl. Fans buy t-shirts, posters, stickers, buttons - those things all don't make their music sound better but they're there for a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrickemmons Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 Oh yeah - and I don't work at Enjoy The Ride - I just make the screen printed items & do the artwork layouts for them, so pricing & what is for sale is not related to me at all.

genuma Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 looking forward to TEN boxes, so long as it's not too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjaicomo Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Will the box make the records sound better? No.Will the box makes the records cost more? Yes. Sounds worthless to me. I agree. I think the records should just be the plain wax. No sleeve, no insert, no labels. That's just adding unnecessary cost to the music without improving fidelity.

cactusbot Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I agree. I think the records should just be the plain wax. No sleeve, no insert, no labels. That's just adding unnecessary cost to the music without improving fidelity. Actually. Having no labels lowers the fidelity of a record by increasing the chances of warping greatly.

Damn - I didn't know that - I'm actually glad you mentioned it because I've thought about pressing something that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookups96 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Did these really sell out at that price in one day? Also the difference with the Murder By Death box set and the TEN box set is that MBD was 10 years of recordings, not 2 EPs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lungfutang Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 got my copy of the 'make yourself at home' ep today. sounds amazing. was a little disappointed with the way color turned out (red with gold inlay), it's moreso just a red vinyl. nonetheless, quality sounds great!

lungfutang Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 i apologize for the lack of quality in the pictures. my iphone assumes all responsibility: SIDE A SIDE B Also, did not notice any grain material or anything like that on my vinyl. Could be because mine wasn't that "infused" with gold inlay or whatnot, but it plays perfectly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etphonehome Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 any of the two-packs ship yet? getting anxious! I got the shipping confirmation for mine 4 or 5 days ago but it hasn't been updated at all, it just says electronic shipping info received. I too am very anxiously waiting for this.

pjaicomo Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Okay, so two things: 1. I am not a fan of packing 10"s in a 12" mailer without securing them. They were just in there sliding around (thankfully there was only one split, but I don't really feel like complaining to get a replacement). 2. It feels like someone poured sand into the paper sleeve. I presume this is a production issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batman Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 i ordered both starting line eps and the rx bandits lp, and all 3 of them had seam splits, plus the bandits had corner dings on the top two corners. rage! note to enjoy the ride--a single piece of bubble wrap does not secure records well. in the future, i would hope that you would also ship the records outside of their sleeves, because i'm sure this will be a recurring problem as more people get their orders. also +1 to the sand. i'm listening to "make yourself at home" now and it sure sounds good at least.
