tannerbnd Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I would like to add that my copy is warped as fuck and pops whenever the orange half cycles. Currently undera stack of heavy books. I got the baby blue, and its the most warped record I have ever seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamrfox Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I just received the baby blue and it is beautiful. Not warped at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Just got mine on orange/grey split. It looks incredible. Won't be able to spin it till later tonight though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannerbnd Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I shouldn't complain too much...my record player is handling it fine, no problems, the arm is just moving up and down like crazy....great record Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seamoney Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 If they knew it was missent, then why is it out for delivery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idreamofpunk Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Alls I know is I got my /100 color of the preorder 7" from the Travellin' Hank stuff.It's on gold/orange, and lovely. See, now I'm really confused. You got a black one (which I misread, and confused for the /100 color) with your pre-order package, I got a grey marble, and now you're saying there's another variant. I'm wishing more people would put these up on ebay so we could see if there are even more colors out there. Edit: I'm gonna take a wild guess that the breakdown is something like this....... Black/200 Grey Marble/200 Orange/100 Yeah, in the 25 cities that they're doing the "Travellin' Hank" thing, the first four people to find him got a special /100 color of the 7". Or, rather, they got a card to send it in to Hopeless, and they'd send it to you. And sold the black one I got with the preorder because the one from the Travellin' Hank thing was going to be the same 7", just a different color. Like i said, I don't need to go all Gaslight on these guys. One color or pressing per record is enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chutterhanban Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 for what it's worth, my grey is pretty warped, too. plays fine though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackinicole Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 This is a ridiculous amount of people getting warped records, and it seems to be mostly the orange/gray splits. Coincidence, or do you think something happened before they got mailed out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Now that I'm spinning the record, mine definitely has a slight warp. Nothing big really, just a slight wave. Plays/sounds perfectly fine though, so I'm not really bothered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robobob Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Mines not warped at all. Grey/orange looks beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoonbill Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 got my 4 pack today. all warped to varying degrees with the possible exception of the black. orange-grey is the worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legendsneverdie Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Jesus christ, hoping that my sweet baby blue arrives in once piece. I ordered from Banquet so that might help. But really, something's wrong. Either team No Sleep is packing the wrong way (is this even possible) or UPS treats the records like shit. It's not okay to receive stuff in this condition, right?

nero182 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Surely No Sleep are aware of the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoonbill Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 if this many people are receiving warped records, it must have occurred between the pressing plant and no sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But really, something's wrong. Either team No Sleep is packing the wrong way (is this even possible) or UPS treats the records like shit. It's not okay to receive stuff in this condition, right? It seems a consistent issue in the split color. Could it be a problem with having a half solid and half translucent color? There seems to be a density difference in records pressed like this. I just go mine and plan to spin it today. Hoping its not warped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just go mine and plan to spin it today. Hoping its not warped. I guess we should blame amazon, they got like half of the split colors at first. No Sleep needed them back pronto for the pre-orderers. I think amazon rushed all packages out, maybe they fell or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipsterasfolk Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 I got my split from Amazon and it came the day after it came out \m/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecream Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 if this many people are receiving warped records, it must have occurred between the pressing plant and no sleep.I don't know about everyone else but mine was clearly fucked by usps. it looks like they put their feet in the middle of the package and pulled upward on either side.

jerseydave77 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Just pulled out both copies i received and they are warped. There was no damage to my No Sleep mailer so this gets a WTF. I'm pretty disappointed that my download sounds better than my vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penthrive Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I emailed nosleep on Friday and got a reply the same day (but it was not about a warped record or anything.) I checked in on the orange/gray LP since they said it would ship last week. The guy I spoke with implied that those 240? have yet to show up at their warehouse for anyone awaiting their shipping confirmation. NoSleep is one of the best out there, so I will continue to wait patiently. It will get here eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecream Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I got a response to my inquiry yesterday. "Ugh freaking USPS.. I as of now have no copies of this color left as my distributor shorted me and I am waiting on more to finish orders, etc. If you want to check back in a couple weeks I can send you one once the vinyl is in. xxx Chris No Sleep Sent from my iPhone Top of the muffin to you!" So i'll wait it out I don't see them at fault and i'd hate to be on the other end of the situation getting dozens of emails. the top of the muffin made it a little better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oterecords Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 mine all arrive in good condition. one has a little dented corner and the gray/orange has a small amount of warp to it but not very noticeable and it doesn't affect the playback at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
