mcpherson123 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Shit. It looks cool and everything but I can see that sheathe going to shit really quick. Maybe if I keep the whole package inside a resealable sleeve it will reduce the wear on the shite plastic. And apparently this record player spins discs over the controls lol. A minor detail and a valiant effort in trying to replicate the CD packaging. The label could have used a bit more detail to faithfully replicate the CD image but still its close enough. All I really care is that they made it sound good enough as its all crammed onto a single disc. Dear crazydiamond, Please post more angles??? Please? EDIT: And FUCK, that's Appendage underneath it! Man, I wish I had connections! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblahmaster Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 While it's cool they did this, those picture disc sleeves will only get nasty grime on the record if you don't put an inner sleeve on it. Not only that, those plastic sleeves tend to split very easily on all sides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 ^Yeah, that's generally what's on everybody's mind right now. It won't be so bad to keep the record in a clear sleeve inside this package. I can think of a few ways they could have achieved this same effect with a better outcome but it probably would have been too expensive and they probably should have just printed the implied CD image on a standard cardboard sleeve. Novel idea but worse for the product in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deafmx Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 that's some pretty weak packaging for a $20 single LP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Another good point. Luckily I scored mine for $17.68 before shipping. Given that price tag, its about fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harryq Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 on the plus side, it shouldn't be hard to distinguish a white HT exclusive from a regular black record, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deafmx Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 on the plus side, it shouldn't be hard to distinguish a white HT exclusive from a regular black record, right? thankfully. death to white vinyl! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Really glad I ordered this on black now. It looks perfect. I think it'll just look odd with it being white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Yeah, not sure why they even went for white but its an interesting variation. I have nothing against white vinyl. Some of my best sounding presses are white. Not that I credit the color with the superiority in fidelity. I just had an amazing idea! You could Exacto slice the front of this plastic sheathe out and stick it in front of a traditional album sheathe...you know... the ones that last.

Rip Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Yeah, I have nothing against white vinyl at all. Just in this one case, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Yeah, but I think deafmx does...lol That's what I was referring to. I really wish I had my copy already. "The waiting [drives] me mad..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Interesting. I had a slight feeling that the package may be along those lines. [An album that features an actual record? How could you not?] Makes me especially glad that I went with the black variant, though I may contemplate snagging a HT copy down the line. Either way - someone should confirm how it sounds.

partysmasher Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 GREAT! Anyone else been sent this message by SRC? Hi Alex, I just wanted to let you know there is a shortage of Glassjaw LP's and we unfortunately have to cancel your order. I apologize and wish I could help. Thank you for supporting us! On Record Store Day we will have several other releases up that will be in stock and are NOT pre orders. Hopefully you can find something then to make up for it!
