aellerton Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 This went up Tuesday, haven't seen a thread about it yet so I thought I'd throw it out there. For $14 plus shipping, not a bad deal. I dug their last release, "Creatures of an Hour" - SubPop gave the same treatment for that LP (Loser Edition color). Check it out! "People who pre-order Strange Pleasures on CD or LP from SubPop.com will receive a limited-edition scrap book featuring pages taken directly from Still Corners’ lyric book as they were writing the record as well as images from the recording process. People who pre-order the record on LP will receive the colored-vinyl, limited Loser Edition version of Strange Pleasures. And as is the nature of limited things, the sooner you order, the better, as they will run out!" http://www.subpop.com/releases/still_corners/full_lengths/strange_pleasures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedlee Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 not half as good as their first LP. really disappointing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelso330 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Wow in total disagreement I think this album is so good! It's a a little different direction but as a whole their first album felt pieced together this one is cohesive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aellerton Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 Apparently there were a bunch of pressing problems with the entire Loser Edition of this release. I got a warped copy and emailed them - they said almost every copy skipped or is warped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackholexxxx Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 What are they doing about it? Replacements? Refunds? I haven't listened to mine yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxxo Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 What are they doing about it? Replacements? Refunds? I haven't listened to mine yet. I emailed them about a week ago with sound clips, but the Sub Pop gang hasn't responded to me yet. Bitches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimoswim Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 i didnt order it but i still find loser editions of the first album in almost every record store i go in to so im no too worried about not finding this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aellerton Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 What are they doing about it? Replacements? Refunds? I haven't listened to mine yet. Either - I opted for a replacement, Subpop lets you keep the damaged item I emailed them about a week ago with sound clips, but the Sub Pop gang hasn't responded to me yet. Bitches. They got back to me in a day and had my replacement in the mail the next with a tracking number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aellerton Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Huh, maybe I'll venture out to my local shop that deals with Sub Pop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Questhate Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 FWIW, I have the Loser Edition and have spun it a half dozen times without issue. My pressing is very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelso330 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I also played my Loser Ed. copy like 5 times...ZERO issues! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxxo Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I picked up an ice blue Loser Edition at Criminal in Atlanta, and it has no issues. However, Sub Pop just sent me the replacement for the defective original pressing and it's clear frosted with black smoke...very cool.

dreamover Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 didn't know there was a thread for this record. i saw them open up for chvrches a few weeks ago and was really impressed. i picked the loser edition up at my local shop and there are no issues. this is easily in my top 10 this year so far.
