The botched presses have the wrong track order. If memory serves me right Buy The Ticket, Take The Ride and So Slow, So Predictable are flip flopped.

Glad this went to a cool-ass dude like yourself, Birdwell. LOL, casey man, you might be one of 3 people on this board that thinks so. Hopefully your records get to you quickly man, they said Saturday when I asked, but hopefully it'll be a bit quicker than that. additionally, just the track order is messed up, OK, i didn't wanna throw it on the turntable as I was scared it was mastered wacky or something and was going to make my stylus jump around or something crazy like that, either way, Soooo stoked man, thanks again, killer release, just got done spinning both sides (of the actual pressing), sounds great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collectivemike Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 Mine got here today as well, its sort of a hardwood color/mahoganyand i got a signed guitar pick and a flier with it. Like the one on the top? Because there was an even darker shade on maybe 5-10 of them that I didn't find until I was actually packing them up.. just curious to see if anyone on here caught one of those.

Did you get one of the dark blue or black swirl? I was kind of bummed I didn't get any of that shade when the finished product finally came back to me.

The test I got closest resembles No Idea's Purple Mix, I honestly like the color of the actual record better, I got 100/500 and it's almost a perfect match for the lighter shade of green on the cover where the actual text is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully someone on the boards got one of the black ones and can post a pic, I didn't take one before I sent them out. I definitely prefer the green and the red/orange mix to the purple, as well. The olive shade really does match the art the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the dark shade you're talking about? I can't tell from the pics. Anyone else wanna try to match it? Maybe mine would be 2nd or 3rd from the top? I don't know. Also, Mike, is that a signed setlist you threw in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Mike, is that a signed setlist you threw in? That's close to the shade, there were a few that are even browner. But yeah, that's no the right track of what I was talking about. And yeah - thats a set list from his last solo tour. I think it was maybe 2009? From when he was on the road with Gabriel The Marine, right when Height came out. EDIT: Yours is definitely closer to the top one than any other, the third from the top is more of a pinkish/red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to be able to do SOMETHING with it, so hopefully they respond. Their website/store seems basically defunct so who knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
