derbsauce Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Alright so this is Nate from SG here - really starting to get fed up with this whole situation as much as everyone else, as you can imagine. It must be said that RJ/MTS has done an incredible amount for us financially and otherwise, and we will continue to call him our friend, but his business practices the last few months have been appalling. We are still yet to receive ANY of our copies of the Stand Tall re-press, and we are very frustrated that some of our fans have received copies while others are left in the dust with nowhere to turn. We're starting to receive messages ourselves from MTS customers trying to figure out what the hell is going on, and at this point I've been trying to figure out exactly what people can do to try and get their money back. If you made a purchase through Paypal, call them, ask for a supervisor, and explain the situation. They are well aware of the TOYPAJ fiasco and should be able to refund your money. The other option I can recommend is to contact Shopradiocast, as I believe they were handling orders for the 7", if they were ordered through the MTS Webstore. I get their newsletter and apparently they still have copies. If you present them with the evidence that an order was paced and never fulfilled, they might help you. Granted, I'm making these statements and suggestions based on things I have read on this board so take it for what is is. I assure everyone that our manager and I are working as hard as we can to resolve this situation, and we plan to regain control of the masters to get them out of MTS's hands. I would also like to take the time to endorse Shopradiocast, as they are a good company with the best intentions and were dragged unwillingly into this whole mess. Please continue to purchase records from their webstore, as they remain one of the best places on the Internet to purchase vinyl releases. Thank you so much to everyone for understanding, hopefully we will get this mess resolved soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxxxg Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 I think I've already said everything I need to say in this thread but I STILL want to get my hands on a red copy if they do exist. I heard it has the demo artwork so that got me stoked. Thanks Nate for checking in with everyone here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elgato48 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I contacted shop radio cast numerous times and they never responded back to me. Had no choice but get paypal to refund me my money. Would still have rather have had the record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not their fault but they DEFinitely weren't dragged into working with MTS "unwillingly." MTS was already getting blasted about the delays and excuses when Shopradiocast decided to start running the new Blink repress pre-orders through their store. No sympathy!

dethrock Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I'm still relieved I somehow got mine from MTS. Does anyone know if the red copies actually exist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha alright I will give you that one, bad choice of words. Clearly I do not know all the facts. Regardless, I'll keep buying records from them. Thanks for the correction.

derbsauce Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I'm still relieved I somehow got mine from MTS. Does anyone know if the red copies actually exist? Well we saw the picture, so one can only assume they exist, but really who knows? RJ never made the tour covers either so if we do end up getting copies we will have to make them ourselves. I don't have hope at this point that we will ever see the 2nd press so we will likely be licensing it out to a third party or repressing ourselves if we have the money, to make up for all this BS.

thejesseb Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 SRC received all of MTS's copies of these. They are the ones that sent them out. I pestered them enough and the sent me my copies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenna from SRC here! We have the tour copies with no covers. I talked to your management and we are shipping them to you guys tomorrow. I also spoke to RJ today briefly and we are going to work out something with him in the next few days to get these shipped out. We do not have the info on orders beyond what we already shipped. He said he would give it to us. After we shipped the first batch we did not continue fulfilling MTS mail order for obvious reasons. However considering the situation as long as we can work something out with RJ to get the info we will donate our time, boxes etc... and can help out to finish off this release.

Sounds like a huge mess, so I hope everyone who ordered gets their records soon. You guys are shipping the tour copies to the band? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipsterasfolk Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I wouldn't mind snagging a tour copy, considering I went to the LWL/SG tour and none were to be found..... Still happy owning the 1st presses though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you spoke to RJ, did you not mention anything pertaining the fact he's scammed all these people? Why would he still send these out?

maxxxg Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 It would be awesome if you just had Devan draw up a cover for the tour copies. Really dig the drumheads he's been doing on tour (I have one on my wall, haha) and I saw that he did a cool one off cover for someone.
