petgrief Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 i saw a couple copies of the "Oh, Holy Fools" split at my local shop yesterday, so hopefully we'll be seeing the first part of the bundles coming soon, perhaps earlier than the Feb. 21st ship date. ADA screwed up and shipped them out early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petgrief Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 They're going to go out on schedule, sorry. Not sure of the details but it would make things really screwed up in order world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 It would be a pleasant surprise if all of a sudden, blam! $99 bundles get colored vinyl! I work at a mill, a rumor-mill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have been cool. But we didn't want to make anyone feel compelled to buy all six reissues if they didn't think they needed them. Basically the band just wanted them back in print in a simple, straightforward way. I couldn't argue with that, although I do like special pressings personally.

Guest Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 This is a philosophy more record labels should embrace. Keep things in print and don't press a ton of variants. i've said it before, but you guys rule! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep things in print and don't press a ton of variants. i've said it before, but you guys rule! Thanks man! It's a tough call... some people love the variants, others hate them. I guess we're kind of middle of the road. We do some variants and exclusives, but I don't think we go overboard. Depends on the band too.... some of the bands ask us to do limited stuff and some don't want it. That thread on the Jack White tri-color 7" freaked me out. I'd never want to get into shit like that. Seems like it's a bummer for the label and the fans, at least to some extent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batman Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 i was really surprised that i got mine already. i'm usually one of the last ones to get stuff on here haha. the records themselves are super heavy. been listening to 'a collection of songs' and it sounds fantastic. the packaging is that sturdy cardboard-ish like material like they used for cursive's 'mama, i'm swollen' and it has a gatefold w/ all of the lyrics. the vinyl is in those really nice plastic inner sleeves (love those things...). 'oh holy fools' has a thinner material for its sleeve, but same thick vinyl and plastic inner sleeve as well as an insert w/ lyrics. also both include CD copies. pretty stellar releases, can't wait to get the other 4. the fact that we're getting super NICE vinyl editions, high-quality digital copies, and CD's make this well worth it. you can really tell that SC put a lot of love into doing this right. just thought about it--for 6 releases, that's an average of $16.50 per release (assuming all are equal, blah blah). shipping per every set of 2 is probably about $4, so that's really only about $14.50 + $2 shipping figured into the price of each release. holy steal.

kylekrische Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Saddle Creek does it again. These look fucking so good, amazing packaging, sound great. Cannot say enough good things about this release and the label. So happy to support a label this good. Here's some pictures I took: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
