hickey Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 It just doesn't seem like the way Epitaph does business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradedOnACurve Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Why not? Why? EDIT: I should clarify that I think it doesn't make sense, but its Fat and they do things their own way so to speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvphotoandvideo Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 That's the thing - why make the most limited version the retail version? To fuck with everyone. That's why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruffy...the janitor Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 /500 black. End of story. Employees for one of the labels have confirmed this. YES, it is more limited, but the wouldn't the labels make more money selling colored boxes directly to you rather than to stores? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circuit bored records Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Fat Store version? J/k. I think everyone is just skeptical cause there was never an official announcement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgdesign Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Got my pink version today. I'm surprised I scored a signed copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieGecko Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Yes, I bought it from a local record store. I suppose it's not that big of a deal but was a bit bummed at first, as I was expecting to be opening a bunch of coloured records. ahh well, I'm still enjoying them.

bgdesign Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 The best part of this set is they left room for the vinyl that may come out later and my copy of The Longest EP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youspinmeround Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Yeah, no daylight savings in the AZ...I've been here since June so it is still weird to me. You should be pretty thankful that the sun doesnt stay out until 930 in the summer I hated living in AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieGecko Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Agreed, the extra room was a good idea for the e.p's......takes up tons of space. so, what is signed on the signed copies?....the box, or a few records?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest johneedeformed Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Just heard in an interview with Fat Mike straight from his mouth: "Epitaph Got 1,000 and we got 1,000 and 1,000 went to record stores." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest johneedeformed Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 So make that 1,000 on black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hickey Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 That makes more sense. It just seemed odd that there would only be 500 spread across all record stores and online stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circuit bored records Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Got my blue today from Fat The photo doesn't really do the color justice... It's more of a turquoise color but under incandescent lighting it just looks like standard blue. I really like having this in my collection but at the same time I'm in no place to be dropping $230 on an impulse record purchase. This may be hitting eBay sooner rather than later.... unless someone on here wants it for cost... konk and Buffbloom 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonbeams Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 swear this isn't me http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOFX-30th-Anniversary-Box-Set-AUTOGRAPHED-d-7-250-Sealed-MINT-Sold-Out-/150999438082?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item2328449302 still don't regret not getting this. sure it's cool as hell and I've been holding out for years for a 7OTM collected LP, but I'm attached to the other pressings. Question, we know Self/Entitled was pressed at GZ? What about the rest? 7" box set was entirely pressed at GZ, but I know Epitaph doesn't use gz..

circuit bored records Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Yeah that color is way more accurate... and the box had a green sticker on the front as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvphotoandvideo Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 posted on PPMB, green box set? Oh great! Here we go with the variants! Haha Also, is it me or does it look like there are five different shades of green in this photo? Did this happen with the pink and blue? It happened with the BR set and I'm wondering, is it that hard to just get one color for an entire box set? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLEWCHUCKEROO Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 has anyone compared these records to previous presses of the albums? is there any way to distinguish a boxset record from a non-boxset record (other than the color)? all of the matrices on the epitaph releases all have a "2012" etched into the record with the exception of PID and SLATFATS. i cant confirm EVERY fat release, but i can confirm that the etchings on frisbee and self entitled are identical Oh great! Here we go with the variants! Haha Also, is it me or does it look like there are five different shades of green in this photo? Did this happen with the pink and blue? It happened with the BR set and I'm wondering, is it that hard to just get one color for an entire box set? Just curious. i have the epitaph set. a few have blue flecks in the vinyl, and my ribbed has a few large black streaks. some of my pinks are more opaque/marbled than others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
