gutzonborglum Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Yeah, that's pretty ugly. I hope this isn't an effect of all the pressing plants being so backed up and rushing orders through. Hopefully this(and OTPP) is the equivalent of the one(or two) plane crash(es) you hear about as opposed to the 8,000 safe flights you don't.

mattalica17 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 man that sucks i hope they give you a new one they were not cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 FUCK! Is this the ongoing legacy of the Beatles debacle? It seems like so many recent releases are all jacked up. Hope I get lucky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crapforgenius Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I ordered mine from Rough Trade and it is fine. The center hole is a little tight - ahem - but other than that it's a great sounding lo-fi, self pressed 7" to match the lo-fo, self recorded music it contains. Artwork would have been nice, but again, I think it works perfectly for this one. (Also a proper sleeve probably would have driven the price up even more.)

idreamofpunk Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. Looks like I'm spending $35-60 on a 7" when I have the spare cash. Unless anyone got an extra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alangrey Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 i got an email reply. they said to send it back for a replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattalica17 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 that's good kinda, do you have to pay to ship it back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alangrey Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 yep. maybe when they get it back, they'll hook me up somehow. not counting on it, but who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyfranciosa Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 my copy is ridiculously off center, but seems ok when it plays (I don't see the tonearm bobbing back and forth). I guess I can't expect much for these bare bones releases. For $12 though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esbe Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I was bummed that I missed this, but at that price and with no art and what sounds like shoddy production I don't mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crapforgenius Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Rough Trade tweeted they got a few more in last night and as of right now, the web site says they have 2 left. http://www.roughtrade.com/site/shop_results.lasso?search_type=advanced&search_terms=kim+deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idreamofpunk Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Hopefully I got my order in before they sold out. Had it in my cart, but it's been a while since I got anything from Rough Trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gutzonborglum Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I think I just got an email from these guys stating they were sending out a replacement copy. Somewhat sketchy, as it looks like it's been forwarded a few times, and isn't complete, but it was from Robert Deal and says: Hello, Thanks for purchasing this 7’’. Due to a potential problem during manufacturing that’s just been brought to our attention, the manufacturer will re-ship the order to you free of charge. The malfunction may or may have not effected your 7". We are taking the necessary steps to ensure this doesn’t happen again. Sorry for any inconvenience.

alangrey Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 what a mess. wonder what pressing plant they used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Looks like it was pressed in someone's basement. I got mine today and I can't tell if the label is off center or if it's the hole. The needle moves inside to outside a little bit.It also has those dimples. In the end though, it still plays fine. I guess I was lucky.

idreamofpunk Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 If my order with Rough Trade doesn't go through, would anyone want to sell me an extra they might have if their original plays and the new one plays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youmightbewrong Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 If my order with Rough Trade doesn't go through, would anyone want to sell me an extra they might have if their original plays and the new one plays? I will. I was going to offer it anyways, so lets hope they are both playable. I wonder how long before the new ones ship out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idreamofpunk Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Sweet. Thank you so much. If my RT order falls through, and both of your copies play, we'll discuss it then. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest deathbydrums Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 My copy has 2 dimples and a scratch from the center label out 1/3 of the record. Thankfully it plays just fine and sounds great! : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximuss Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I got my 7"today. Do i understand right that i will get another? The vinyl looks strange , with dimples, but plays good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
