Thomas_Nassiff Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Update for these 12"s. We got in all the variants except the coffee. However, we haven't gotten the What's Eating Gilbert 7"s yet. So if you ordered a non-coffee variant without a Gilbert 7", your order is shipping tomorrow or Friday. We actually did get a few of the coffee ones...contacted the plant to figure out where the fuck the rest are...and they're RAD. They smell really, really strongly of coffee, to the point that the paper sleeve had like coffee stains on it (which I thought was really freaky) ... and you can sort of feel the coffee grounds if you touch the vinyl, but it doesn't get on your fingers. It's weird because when we did the Hellmouth bible ashes, the ash got all over your hands. With this one, it's like the coffee is literally entrapped in the clear vinyl, and you can still feel it but it's not falling off or anything. It's a given that the sound quality will be affected. Turned out even cooler than I imagined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll post pics of all four variants here tomorrow. People will be pleased with the clear/red stripe as well, and the clear yellow. Which the plant decided to label as "light beer" haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noodle Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 How are we looking on shipping for those with the coffee order? I am anticipating big time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas_Nassiff Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 They've already started shipping. Our interns aren't full-time, but you should be getting shipping confirmation soon. We might be short a couple dozen of the coffee variant, though...so it might take a little longer for some of the orders. If we can't replace orders with new coffee variants, we're going to do something else that no one has really ever done before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are you saying that some people who ordered the coffee might not get a coffee variant, but you'll make it up to them in another way?

Kjm23 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Got this in today. No kind of protection whatsoever, not even a plastic sleeve (record is not sealed) and surprise surprise came in warped. Got the clear with Red Stripe so I doubt there are any extras to replace it. Will have to e-mail P&P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoonbill Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 when you e-mail them, can you please ask them where my blue/white split copy of Red City Radio "Dangers of Standing Still" LP is? They quit responding to my emails months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pickrunner18 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 if I don't end up getting one with coffee, I'll trade someone for one with whatever the new thing that's never been done before is ...but hopefully it doesn't come to that!

heresyourletter Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 It looks like I should be cautiously awaiting this now... Hoping for the best now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoonbill Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 My stripe is slightly warped as well. It seems like a good portion of any new release involving a stripe or split color ends up arriving warped. I'm guessing this is a plant issue. Mine was packed pretty poorly but there's no seam splits or anything so I don't think it got handled too roughly. I bet a lot of them end up being warped.

serum7 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 It's also pushing 100 degrees around the country now so, yeah, that won't help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoonbill Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I've had plenty of other records show up this week without warping. Wonder Years "Suburbia", Balance and Composure "Separation" and Ampere "Like Shadows" split colors all had similar warping problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanRees Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I don't get why anyone would want a record that smells like coffee, then again i hate the smell of coffee. I am stoked for the clear if it really looks like this though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanRees Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Got my clear in today, definitely the most clear i've ever seen, probably helps that its only grooved on 1 side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
