mindovermatter Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Went to go listen to my copy of JEW - Bleed American for the first time and this is what I see on Side B. Anyone ever see this on a record before? That busted ass label is pressed right into the last 20 seconds (or so) of grooves! This is the definition of pissing away $40. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xjustinxschwierx Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 theoretically you can get a replacement, contact the place that sold it to you and see about exchanging it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindovermatter Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 I got it at a local record store, so I'm skeptical that they have another copy floating around. However, I'm hoping that maybe they can get in touch with their distributor or something? A lot of channels. Either way, I thought this was pretty wild.

xjustinxschwierx Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 it happens, they can contact their distributor and see if it can get resolved up the chain, this is extremely rare, but t does happen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allstar Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 rare that it will get resolved, or in that this manufacturing defect is rare? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothingnatural Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 http://www.sadtrombone.com/ HAHA! Thanks! This site will come in handy. About the screwed up record....9 times out of 10, the store or online store will help me with a problem like this. They may not be able to offer a replacement but hopefully they will refund you.

tylerrr Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 How does that even leave the factory? Lazy workers not checking both sides or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest markovianprocess Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 How does that even leave the factory? Lazy workers not checking both sides or what? Maybe they thought that no-one actually plays records any more anyway. $$$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suchashorttime Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 1/1. lolz. no, no. that is a bummer man. but that certainly is a rare plant fuck up. usually there are double labels, no labels, loose labels, even wrong labels. that is a unique misprint.

xjustinxschwierx Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 rare that it will get resolved, or in that this manufacturing defect is rare? rare that this manufacturing defects get out of the plant. their Quality Control department was probably overloaded from Record Store Day madness, so as people start guffawing all over the place and getting their pickets and torches ready to complain about how dare the plant let this escape, all those people have never, not paid 100% attention to everything every minute of every day at work...shit happens, the records in print somewhere, it's not anything that can be faked, so go back to the store and ask them to see what they can do, they can probably call their distributor right there or get back to you.

rocknroll76 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I got one of those in the collection. I'm glad it's not my Bleed American, I feel your pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindovermatter Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 I got one of those in the collection. I'm glad it's not my Bleed American, I feel your pain. I've seen the double label before, but I'm trying to imagine the actual pressing process and how this label could've gotten caught on something but still manage to be between the stampers when it ripped. I'm headed to the record store this afternoon. I know that they'll take care of me - they rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almightyseancore Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 if anything the store may give you the $40 in credit. or, if your lucky, maybe get a distro to replace it with a coloured copy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burntwolf Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 i had a UK pressing of the 13-track nirvana bleach on white that had part of the label pressed into the grooves. jacked up about 20 seconds of side b. i guess there were a fair number of those that had issues like that.

thieves Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I can't imagine either of the pictured records getting past me and/or my team here, but for those interested, I know the cause. the broken label going out into the grooves is because the label was too brittle to begin with, usually from baking/drying too long. tue double/off center one is just from the label suction cups picking up two labels and the top one didn't land on the center pin correctly before the press went up. I know this trivia won't get you your money back, but that's how it happened. as for those of you who get the bubbled up/double labels, those are usually easily fixable if you're brave. just bend the record a bit, then bend it in the opposite direction, the second label will usually come loose. the trouble is that sometimes it'll be stuck to the ink of the label underneath, so you'll still have a goofy looking label, albeit a non-bubbled one.

mindovermatter Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 I am able to get a refund from the store, courtesy of the distributor being cool about it as well, but they aren't able to replace it as they have none in stock. Needless to say, I'm in the market for a new copy of Bleed American. If anyone is unloading a copy, please PM me. I'll love you forever.
