TmvFan707 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Damn thanks for the tip! Just came from the coma otherwise I'd probly never have seen this. I wonder if rlpe had like two pressings or something.TThis'll go great in my insane #VoltaPorn collection! Edit: hi Oliver, did u happen to get the other one? Cause I don't think there are any more from this seller. Not sure if all the EU pressings are like that tho. I have 2 of the US pressings with the jacket but never thought the EUwwould be crazy different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean this album has been out for so long, I feel like we would've seen this surface from a European fan by now. Unless it's some sort of repress?

Should have just bought that copy yesterday. I didn't think I was a fan of Octahedron until I saw that variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danoise Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I tried contacting sargent house, who is literally the only contact info I can find for Rodriguez Lopez Productions. All they really had to say was "We don't work with the mars volta anymore". The Comatorium (TMV forum) told me I was a millionaire, hahaha. My roomies gotten re-tweeted in the past by cedric for making TMV christmas tree ornaments, we're trying to get his attention again. I still gave the seller a 5 star ranking, and told him about the weirdness of it and didn't get any reply. I wonder if someone out there has a grey C/D record? Just check recordmule's discogs. he's got one left for a good price but who know's if it's like what I got from him. http://www.discogs.com/sell/item/241413706 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TmvFan707 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I bought one from the seller before he ran out. It shipped today. I'll let ya know if all his copies were like that when it gets here! Fyi the coma members have opened EU copies and they are all white. It's possible there was a later 2nd pressing that didn't last long or maybe the one posted here is just an amazing mispress! Either way I'm gonna find out! danoise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoToRoBo Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 They have this at work. Guess I should take a chance on it and see if it's that cool one you found there in the interwebs, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TmvFan707 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 And sell it to me. If ur just looking for any copy of octa I have 2 us copies with the plastic sleeves and this EU is coming. If it's white for both lps I'll gladly sell it to u. If it's amazing and grey I will sell a US version... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Looks like they used trash vinyl to even out the pressing after running out of white. Pretty cool though. danoise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danoise Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Looks like they used trash vinyl to even out the pressing after running out of white. Pretty cool though. I could see this being the case. It's kinda ugly in my opinion haha. I was kinda beside myself when I first saw it, but Im not partial to white either. in this case I was just happy to get a great album for cheap.

planetrakis Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I ordered one I've been putting off buying this album for some time, seemed like a good enough reason to pull the trigger.

Opening the corner just a little bit to see and not expecting to see anything but then being happily surprised! So mine is disk 1, urs is disc 2 right? So still one of a kind so far. It's released on konkurrent and I thought calibration was too but just saw that'd from n2o iinstead. Still very similar colors tho!Haven't msgd the seller yet but maybe, I doubt he knows.

planetrakis Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 It appears to be a whole new pressing, the gatefold is not the original heavy wax like the first pressing. It is still very nice stoughton, but not the really waxy cover. One white, one grey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is still very nice stoughton, but not the really waxy cover. One white, one grey. Do u have another EU version you are comparing the weight and feel of the cover to? Cause ya, the US version is beautiful and heavy with great matte inners and just the right amount of gloss! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
