patrickemmons Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 THIS!! I took the With Hopes of Starting Over EP out of the poly bag, wrapped the obi strip around it, and got it back in the poly bag. the obi strip is whack. way too small that's what i ended up doing. i own a few records with obi strips but not a collectors pack of multiple records and there is really no purpose of the strip if it can't fit around both records in their intended poly bags. I wrapped each individual obi-strip around 2 records and then taped it shut & slid it off - so it fits around 2 records that aren't in poly sleeves - just think of it as a certificate of authenticity w/ the number in the edition on it - it's not meant to be super functional, who would ever need a strip around a record to begin with?

Mine barely fit around one of them when I took it out of the sleeve! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine barely fit around one of them when I took it out of the sleeve! That's strange - I literally wrapped it around 2 records, sealed it, and slid it right off - so at one point it fit around 2 records Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even a big deal really, just strange. It's double sided tape. No glue. Just open it, put it around your records and then close back. Pretty simple to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

llamason56 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 haha yeah i was in the same boat but i just said fuck it and tried it very carefully. i saw the tape and instantly felt relieved and just pulled it the rest of the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsundownerx Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 My 2-pack was packed perfectly...no seam splits as the vinyl was outside of the sleeves and in poly sleeves. So A+ and thanks to whoever shipped mine. They sound great too...loud and clear. It's unfortunate for those who had issues but overall I'm more than satisfied with this release and what I received. VERY PLEASED WITH EVERYTHING!! GLAD I GOT THE 2-PACK. THANKS!! +1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrickemmons Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 my two pack looks great! bring on TEN My friend Kyle and I are working 1-2 nights a week and both weekend days to build the wooden boxes the 2-pack will go into for these. We've got all the framing pieces cut down & routed & 45 degree angles cut and we just finished cutting down the back flat pieces. We'll be assembling the framing of boxes all weekend and sanding the back pieces to prep them for a stain and then screen printing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesupervillain Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I'm willing to bet my copies are split to shit too, but I won't even get a chance to see them until Christmas so I'll have no way of proving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
