smeepo Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Pics of my odd black record: http://vinylcollective.com/~vinylcol/boards/uploads/vinyl_12834_87b125c8882dd4925a959f1fb334a367.jpg http://vinylcollective.com/~vinylcol/boards/uploads/vinyl_12834_4c31678d9c3d306244b4642dc98f0d0b.jpg http://vinylcollective.com/~vinylcol/boards/uploads/vinyl_12834_b3668e15a3f465ad221853b5b05d9fe0.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladewillisisdead Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 The rarest variant! Maybe they had more books than records? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeepo Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I guess they awarded me with a 1/1 black for live streaming order attempt status on VC and not emailing them about the shipping overcharges... But in seriousness, isn't the 180g black from the regular deluxe edition? I sent Cinder Block a message about it. Also did anyone receive a paper sleeve inside their book, not tucked in with the record? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smeepo Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 it's a test press oooooo Maybe if I write over the label in shitty black marker "TEST PRESS 3/5" I can sell this on eBay for a couple hundred dollars. On top of all that, it really doesn't look like a brand new record... There are a bunch of scuff marks on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tre Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Yeah. It's just a matter of the wrong record in the packaging. Not sure why or how... Will look into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diabretic Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I still haven't received a shipping refund email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM me if you need any of my information about the order. I still haven't received a shipping refund email. I don't think anyone has received an actual refund yet. Maybe it'll just appear in your bank account/paypal balance? I'm sure you'll know when people start getting refunded... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you'll know when people start getting refunded... I did the pay after delivery option on Paypal (aka pay 14 days after you place the order) and I got an email today saying the balance I will be charged was decreased by $15.

necroking Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Shut up you know nothing about anything You guess incorrectly. My mistake. i just figured there were extra clear vinyl pressed (not extra books made) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigSeth Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 My mistake. i just figured there were extra clear vinyl pressed (not extra books made) Sometimes when an order is made, pressing plants have what's called an overrun. Its where a number of extra copies are pressed. It's unintentional, sometimes it happens sometimes it doesn't. Not saying that is what has happened in this case. Sometimes labels hold some copies back for situations when customers receive damaged records or other various accidents. I personally like to call them "security copies". This is a very common practice. Not saying that is what is happening in this situation but if I had to make a guess, I would say it was this.

tre Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 My mistake. i just figured there were extra clear vinyl pressed (not extra books made) There were extras, as is pretty much standard with anything manufactured. There's an overrun (or sometimes, and underrun) and in this case, there was not only an overrun of vinyl, but an underrun of the books. Jumping to conclusions is not needed.
