GradedOnACurve Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 So the tour press and the P+P press are derived from different test presses? I just wonder how the band got tests approved and vinyl pressed in time but P+P could not. Labels pay a set fee for a few tests and could run off a sizable number of them for a a decent price in order to get them for the band for a tour/release show. So instead of 5 tests they may run 100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_jones Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 also, just want to mention, 'the silence between' was just as epic live as i'd hoped. 'show me on the doll' was great as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas_Nassiff Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Some information that the update left out – I didn't type that one – basically what happened was that the plant (located in the Czech Republic, we used Pirates Press) sent me Pentimento and Red City Radio test presses to the wrong address. They were rerouted from Florida to NYC and and the Pentimento ones got here fine but the RCR ones were just...lost? I don't know. Either way, it took them fucking forever to make five new test presses...way longer than it should have. As a result we ended up with a two-week delay which is really pissing me off more than most delays...I'm well aware of the disaster that happened with Red City Radio's last release. That was right when I started as an intern and it was the release that gave the label a bad reputation for mailorder. I really wanted to get them in on time this go-round –– and we would have been shipping them out before the release date if this didn't happen with the tests. Additionally, the vinyl finished one day too late to arrive in full in Gainesville next week, so hence the first week of November shipping date. The good news – and I know this doesn't help speed things up – is that the test presses sounded really, really good....like, genuinely is one of the best-sounded pieces of vinyl I've heard. I wish all of our shit sounded THAT good, haha. burritogrande [at] paperandplastick.com if anyone has any specific questions or anything.

Thomas_Nassiff Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Also, the band actually has tour copies and we will have copies available at Fest (a limited number that we're paying extra shipping to get faster) in case you didn't preorder but will be there.

They are generally pretty punctual, and really make some good sounding records IMO. I've also seen how they ship tests, so yeah they probably ended up somewhere in nether. Stoked to get my copies.

Shitty Rambo Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Great album, can't wait to get my copy in a couple weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradedOnACurve Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 These guys played NYC yesterday, but I couldn't be there because of the Heartsounds/Cleave/Stereo State show. Had a friend pick up a copy for me and after initially thinking I got a fancy tour copy turned out it was the half/half 500 press. So hopefully this means it will ship shortly. As for the tour press I don't know if they sold out or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrickemmons Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Seeing them tonight, hoping they have the tour version with them, regardless I'll be grabbing a copy to support them directly and to be able to listen on vinyl asap!

It's tour copy or bust... that's all that iss available right now. They'll probably still have plenty left at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrickemmons Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I got the tour press too last night - and they had normal copies as well. From the looks of it there weren't very many copies at all of either and only like 5 in the box of the tour press when we grabbed mine. Left that show with 4 records after getting stuff from PJ and Arliss Nancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
