I'm not sure if this has been updated elsewhere but check this out:

"Hello! Jeremy from Jump Start Records here. I wanted to send out a quick note about the status of the Crucial Dudes vinyl LPs and LPs combos because we're a bit behind schedule and we wanted to give everyone a heads up on what's going on.

We've got good and bad news.

First, the bad news.

Somehow the labels that were printed for this release got mixed up with another label's release at the printers and were sent to the wrong pressing plant. To make matters worse, our Crucial Dudes '61 Penn' labels were actually used on another release for another label at the pressing plant. Awesome, right? To go a one further, somehow our labels, which are for a 12" LP, were used on a seven inch single. For those of you that don't know, in order to do that you've actually got to use a die-cutting press to trim the size of the 12" labels down to a seven-inch label size, which is what the one plant did with our labels. So, instead of realizing the mistake and doing a quick UPS switch-a-roo, we had to get new labels printed. Right now there are 500 seven inches that have been pressed with the wrong labels and we're waiting for our labels to reach the correct pressing plant so we can get our LPs. We're hoping this all will happen in the next day or so.

Now, here's some good news.

In the meantime, we're actually trying to get a hold of a hundred or so of the mixed up seven inches with our labels on them. While it sucks that this happened, it's the first time something like this has happen to Jump Start and makes for good story telling, not to mention collectable items. It's not our say if we can get a hold of any of the mixed up records. Right now the plant and the printer are trying to figure out the best way to fix the problem so that it's resolved quickly and cost effectively. If that means we can actually get our hands on a few of these records we're going to include a FREE copy with each preorder as a special bonus. We should know about that very shortly."

TLDR: The plant screwed up their LPs; they are trying to get the messed up 7"s to give out with the pre-orders.

I think this is awesome. Even if it doesn't work out, it's great to see these guys are working on making a delay into a positive. Keep up the good work!
