lehooch Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Agreed on the colors. I think the splatter is really sweet but as far as complementing the rest of the packaging the orange/blue take the cake. RyanRR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forbenator Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Did SL direct offer the digital download on release day? RyanRR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Did SL direct offer the digital download on release day? I don't know if I've ever gotten a digital download from a Southern Lord release now that I think about it. The release date is still 10 days away though, so maybe they'll surprise me.

abovetheearth Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 No. If you did the bandcamp purchase you got the free digital download (well, it was a few bucks added in to the 2xlp) Directly through SL, nada RyanRR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Secular Haze Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 First Press: Orange Blue /500. First Press Point One: "Hold It Up To The Light" Splatter /500. Does this work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I'm not buying that, personally. But whatever. I'm over it. agreed, who cares, really. but for them to say they have a '2nd pressing' available the next day! bahahaha That's insulting, making up a new definition, and / or double-talk. 1st pressing, two variants, two different sales sites, released 24hrs (or less) apart.

David Loyd Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I ordered my copy straight from SL. My 2nd press splatter supposedly shipped on Sept 27th.Never received a confirmation, Just randomly wondering where it was today and had to do a search. Media mail so here I wait...

abovetheearth Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 from what i understood, the splatter didnt arrive at SL until Oct 4th, to which they said they will be shipping this week. the solid colored '1st press' shipped on the 27th-30th i bet you get a confirmation of when it ships... either tomorrow or THU or FRI.

Hmm.. well I definitely ordered the splatter and it was shipped on the 27th, but the ccnow receipt is pretty generic. It only says i ordered the 'BFLP' with no other description. Luckily I like surprises so.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abovetheearth Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 here are two. 1st press: already rec'd 2nd press: shipping this week your splatter should have the description. if not, then you still got in on the orig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bortx Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I think the fact that you received shipping notification does not necessarily mean the package left the warehouse. Maybe they just bought delivery service online and assigned shipping id's to orders even if they still didn't have the records on hand, which could fire shipping notification emails. For instance I received shipping notification (solid colors) three days ago but on USPS tracking there is only a "Electronic Shipping Info Received" Be patient my friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Justin Maheiny Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 What makes something 1st press? If the black vinyl wasn't available until both the solid color and splatter vinyl weren't being sold any more, according to this logic that would be the 3rd pressing right? I always assumed anything sold prior to it's actual release date would be considered the first pressing. The Carcass Surgical Steel thread from awhile back on here had me totally confused. On that it shows 13 different colors ranging between 1st to 3rd pressing while still in the pre-order stage. I just think it's odd that if an album is re-pressed two years after it's initial release, that would be considered a 3rd, 4th or whatever pressing instead of its 2nd.
