timbrh2001 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Looks like the SOS White Label is hand-stamped and will be individually numbered /200.

I guess not? Pretty sure it wont sound any different since I believe these are considered the test pressings of the regular release. Personally, I prefer these to the regular release anyways, so I'm def trying to get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I did get both the regular and white label versions of the Hot Chip 12" and it seemed like the white label was a heavier vinyl weight. Though I assume the regular version of SOS is 180g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbrh2001 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 FYI, everything added to the DFA site today minus the SOS White Label and the coffee mug are currently available for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I assume the regular version of SOS is 180g The regular press of Sound of Silver isn't 180g. Plus it's already a 2xLP, so this white label won't necessarily sound any better (unlike the self-titled white label that was pressed as a 2xLP while the regular press is one LP). Sort of a bummer. I wanted to get this, but I just can't pay that price for a record I already own, even though it's probably a fair price considering the rarity, cool stamping, and how many people that will still buy it.

krisdfa Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 These aren't 180g. We might do a reissue/repress/etc of the S/T on 180G double vinyl, we're just judging demand from our distributor. We'd have to cut all new lacquers/etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timbrh2001 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Now that wouldnt be fair... I know I was kiddin I would bet #1 goes to James anyway Yeah, the DFA crew should get first grabs at the high numbers if they want em. Ill just be happy to be able to snag one of them tomorrow. If they do end up giving out the really low numbers it nice to at least have a 1/175 chance of some fan winning the lotto! I will say its great that theyre offering hand-numbered copies. Adds a nice touch to an already killer release! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisdfa Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 We'll try our best to give out numbers in order, by order! certainly some single-digit copies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timbrh2001 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 man, I am not looking forward to packing 200 LCD records tomorrow. at least we pre-boxed all of the mugs for our convenience. I can imagine. Id bet the shipping labels can be a huge pain in the ass. How many people you got helping out over there? You gotta pack And ship everything you sold today too? At least youll be able to order a fancy lunch with some of the profits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least youll be able to order a fancy lunch with some of the profits. The day-to-day staff of the label is myself, label founder Jonathan Galkin, and we also have two lovely interns (Adam and Kerry) a couple days a week each. So, it's generally me + 1 doing all of the shipping/etc. I haven't been updating the store much lately because in addition to the store, I also deal with all of the other stuff an assistant label manager has to deal with - getting records into production, chasing down remix contracts, getting stuff submitted digitally - but hopefully I'm over the hump and can take the next few weeks to continue to clear out our closets!
