They haven't been that way for quite a while... in fact, the recent ones are all good, in my opinion. Acid Rap is a fairly old album they've been pressing it endlessly. That said, I've owned several different copies through the years and some of those are also "ok" too, although nowhere near as good as any of the bootleg releases that came after it.

The original opaque pink Acid rap sounded fantastic. The first clear pressing was shit. The most recent clear pressing that they are selling now is back to being good.

Still don't think I'd go quite as far as calling any of the Acid Rap pressings I heard as "good", but could call them "decent" or "acceptable".

Did you have one of the original hand numbered ones? That one is just as good of quality as channel orange and coloring book. freedumb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Got mine yesterday.... this box looks pretty rough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poweredbytrust Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 what do you mean? Is it damaged? My mailer had some small dents as well, but they did an excellent packaging job so I doubt there could have been any damage from shipping. Their mailers are really super sturdy.

They are markedly improved from years ago but generally, I disagree with this. They are the worst version of the best type of mailer... "false ends" but too thin so the flappy ends still crush fairly easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maximuss Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 mine endless and blonde came in the mail today. I am surprised about the quality, it is quiet and sounds very good. The sleeve is also nice. Gatefold would have been nicer but ok. The vinyl is really good . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Box took the brunt of the hit, record came out great! Sounds great too, spinning now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poweredbytrust Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 agree about the "outer box" and its flaps not being the toughest of cardboard I have seen, but the inner box does the trick in my opinion. Glad for all of you who can enjoy their copies now. I also agree that a gatefold would have been nice, but as far as I know vinyldigital has never done any of their bootlegs in gatefold anyway. It would probably also cause them to jack up the price a little, so I'm fine with the release as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also on the east coast and it usually takes about a week from when I get the shipped email to receive the item. Had an order ship on the 11th and got it on the 19th this month.

I think they're sold out for now, ebay and discogs are the way to go unless VD presses more (which is possible but probably won't happen anytime soon).
