xthricex Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 hey has anyone else had issues with the middle hole being slightly smaller than the spindle on their player? It was a bit of a tight fit getting the record on the spindle when I played it, never had this issue before with other records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underoath23 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Is anyone else having an issue with "Cold Cash And Colder Hearts" on Side A of the first disc? My copy skips right after Dustin starts singing. I thought it was just my record player being ghetto, but I tried it on my girlfriend's turntable and it does the same thing. It only skips at the very beginning of that first song and everything else plays fine. Wondering if I'm the only person who got this... I had the exact same problem. I usually keep my counterweight set at 1.5 - I set it at 1.25 and Cold Cash and Colder Hearts started up without the skip. Ok cool thanks man. My gf and I just have those cheap Crosley players that we bought at Target for like $100. Maybe it is time to invest in something a little better. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindovermatter Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Hey guys - I bought an extra copy for a member on here who no longer needs one. It's gonna be cost + shipping if you're interested. PM me if you need a copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrd Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 for those people saying the cover doesn't matter...it does you ask anyone why they prefer vinyl over other formats, one of the reasons people say time and time again is the enlarged artwork i bought this because i love thrice, i love the album, the color is gorgeous, i listened to the whole thing when i got home after buying it and it sounds great...but the fact that we got a subpar piece of artwork really bothers me! especially when it costs $20+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larger artwork is a big part of why I like vinyl over anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maintreqd Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Back up, yet again. if so, it was a tiny batch that went fast (sold out now). i'm betting it was your browser cache though... got mine today and the pixelated cover is way worse than i imagined when people said it. i guess i figured a big deal was being made over a smaller deal but this is crappy lookin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradedOnACurve Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Don't understand why some people are still upset about the artwork. If you don't like it sell it for cost and wait for the repress. Problem solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do not care if the product is crap or whatever, just as long as it sells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mindovermatter Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I think that too many of you perceive what HT does with this licensing to parallel how a label functions...and that is incorrect. Travis will correct me if I'm wrong, but this artwork problem is not in any way HT's fault because it went down like this: 1.) Travis set up the details for the repress and left all of the work in the hands of the folks at Universal & the pressing plant. 2.) Artwork proofs (that probably aren't even sent to Travis/HT but who knows) are generally Lo-res for basic purposes involving email inbox limitations and uploading/downloading bandwith restrictions. However, unless the person viewing it has the slightest clue that it was set up at 72 dpi, the Lo-res proof will look acceptable. They don't print a few to send out with test presses or anything like that. 3.) Once the product is completed, the pressing plant ships them to the two HT distribution centers - NOT to Travis. At this point, they are 50% of the way to the stores (because that process happens LONG before orders go live online.) 4.) Travis plucks a copy from the California distribution center and gets bummed, but realizes that there is no way to recall hundreds of records back from each store that received them and proceeds to warn everybody BEFORE anyone could purchase it. Nothing shady at all. I could see a revolt if HT had stuffed them all individually like some DIY label or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikepapalone Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 i could care less about the artwork. honestly im just happy to have a thrice record what i do care about, is that the thing skips out the ass. oh well i guess ill just have to buy another one next time around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mindovermatter Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 a proof of the actual jacket should absolutely be checked by someone whether it be at the printers or by the customer, before an entire run is created This is something that only happens if you're willing to pay extra. It's tough to meet those types of challenges while keeping the cost reasonable for everyone. Universal wants a huge chunk for the exclusivity to HT, and then if you want bonus songs it's gonna cost extra. Want them mastered at half speed for extra clarity? That's more. Want a physical proof for the print work? Yeah, you get the point. People were already sensitive about the $20 price tag, and sadly we can't have it all.

rrd Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 you telling me that for a run of 1000+ records they were just like meh we won't pay the extra $50 to proof the jacket? not a chance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
