burntwolf Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 i'm on the other side. i thought white crosses was a pretty great rock record. irrespective of any of their previous releases. i didn't dig black crosses much at all...on the first listen anyway...

sharkie Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 i'm on the other side. i thought white crosses was a pretty great rock record. irrespective of any of their previous releases. i didn't dig black crosses much at all...on the first listen anyway... black crosses is what is; a bunch of demos/not ready versions of the songs. glad i didn't put any money on it since I already own a regular version of WC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcm1610 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Hmm.. I ordered this but can't find the email and haven't gotten it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychoriley Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Just got this today...nice packaging with a 32 page book as part of the double fold open sleeve. BTW it is attached. I almost tore it thinking it was a seperate book. I had been listening to the MP3 of black crosses this weekend....Damn I think it is SO much better than White. I can't believe what over polishing and production did to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyShackelford Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Can you post some pics of the packaging? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avery Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 here's mine. and my attached booklet is kind of torn at the top. it's ok though, i just have to be careful with it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyShackelford Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Eh, I like the colors more than I thought. But the packaging doesn't look as great as I thought it would. Could be me just being jealous because I don't have one. Still holding out on just black crosses being released Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Mine shipped. Hopefully it'll arrive tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fartcat Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 It's just the 3 colors that the album originally got pressed on. That's actually a pretty cool idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyShackelford Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 but all together they look really nice, better than i thought i guess. i dont know, im still jealous. i hope i can get one on ebay for cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fartcat Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I had to pass, it was too expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyShackelford Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 yeah, same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avery Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 ya, it was pricey. i think i justified it because i figured i'd like the colors and i do, it goes well with the packaging. i didn't already have white crosses (other than picking up the CD on a whim) and i kind of wanted the shirt. i still like the shirt design, but i don't like the cut. i got a girls' small and normally, it's not problem but on this one, the arm holes are weird. there's been too many other records i passed on initially that ended up going for more than original price later on, too. i'm sure if you're patient, you'll find a good deal though...

lukin Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 How many copies were made of the tri-colored version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyShackelford Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 250 i believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fartcat Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Geez, that low? I regret not grabbing it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyShackelford Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 yeah it was low. but if the way that total clarity and white crosses colored variants are selling on eBay, it wont be hard to get this for hella cheap in the near future. any color of white crosses has been going for like $16 and total clarity for $25 or less.

Shitty Rambo Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 The way I look at it, 3 disc for $40(I can't remember if this was the cost and don't wanna login into Gmail), that's about $13 and some change a disc. Not trying to justify the cost by any means, but I don't think it was TOO DEEP of an f-ing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyShackelford Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 nah its really a good price, i just cant justify spending $40+ on just black crosses because thats all i really want. im not too concerned with owning another copy of white crosses. thats why i keep hoping just black crosses will get pressed for the average of $14-$16ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 That totally makes sense. If I already owned White Crosses on vinyl that would have effected my choice on whether to purchase this or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to justify the cost by any means, but I don't think it was TOO DEEP of an f-ing. i had to look it up because i forgot. it was $51.50 ppd. as you said though, for 3LPs, the booklet and shirt, it's not terrible. everytime i hesitate on something i like because of cost, it sells out and i can't get it again for similar to its original price. (examples: JEW bleed american color and thrice alchemy index). against me! could be different though since their releases tend to float around a lot...

xadamhudsonx Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Got my copy from Total Treble today. I'm stoked to listen to it but I'm bummed that other than on the back cover where the tracks are listed it doesn't say Black Crosses anywhere. Both the cover and spine just say White Crosses and I was hoping for new cover art... I do like the colors they used being the same as the presses for White Crosses and the booklet with the centerfold are nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
