Rip Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) Alright quick Google search shows that apparently this was done on purpose. Kind of makes sense. I noticed it flowed pretty nicely in the new order. Just kind of took my by surprise is all.

DecayToDeath Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Ironically, I think adding the slipcase gives the illusion that it’s less nice than it is; without the expectation that it should be a box instead, you’re left with 5 LPs that sound great for under $20 apiece—a total rarity these days, esp for a band of their caliber. I’m sure some nerd out there will DIY themselves new jackets and a proper box, but I’m more than happy paying under $100 for the entire discog in one go regardless.

tipyourbartender Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I'm definitely happy with it overall. However, I would have gladly paid a little extra for a nicer slipcase. Deathbyart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and I got shipping notification. Did you order the book with it? I think that may be holding up those copies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justinadamk Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) As far as I know all outlets are shipping (since they are all Project M), but they are only shipping Black Jacket/White vinyl at this time because that's all that have in the warehouse currently. Orders for White Jacket/Black Vinyl, any orders with Books, and gold packages still have not shipped. (that was the last update I got in my email, and I've only seen people posting photos of Black Jacket/White vinyl sets on the Facebook group, but happy to be wrong if other things have also started shipping) Edited January 15 by Justinadamk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently they ordered from BV. Edited January 16 by Rip Justinadamk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnMatrix Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I ended up putting in a claim because my slip cover came pretty beat up. They didn't have any extras unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewlucas Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Hopefully the gold slipcase is better. $193 should get you a solid case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnMatrix Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Ended up with a $23 refund for my claim with the damaged slip cover. Better than nothing I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rooks Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Considering the slip cover likely cost like $0.76, $23 is pretty crazy. $11.67 per record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMatrix Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 It wasn't even that damaged. Just a crack on the spine and the top was crinkled a bit. I had only asked them if they had any extras by chance and was going to be fine if they said no. But they told me to put the claim in so why not. I'll take a discount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 After getting a chance to listen to both OCG and CB, I can confidently say that those are worth the price alone (for most of you who more than likely bought the set for those anyways). Clear, loud, no pops or clicks. And add the fact they’re actually easy and convenient to listen to is just the icing on the cake. Couldn’t be happier. Only downside is the boring art but hey, can’t have it all. JohnMatrix, whoa, hallowken78 and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiscodeman Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 How does W&T sound? And the reverse sequencing of OGC (compared to digital) is interesting too. I was hoping they would squeeze it onto one side of a disc for the convenience, even though 22 min is pushing it, but looks like they split it across the two sides.

wiscodeman Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 The more I think about it, I believe this "reverse" order of OGC is actually the original chronological order of when the die-cut 7" records were released. I do remember them teasing the looped drum into of John Lennon on a website before eventually releasing the songs. Then when they later released the songs as an EP, the tracks were put in alphabetical order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiscodeman Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Ah ok I misremembered then! I guess I'm just happy they finally released these songs on vinyl "normally" haha. I haven't bought the bundle yet but I might eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleHL Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 So glad to finally have all these on vinyl but damn this slipcase sucks. Even just a slightly heavier stock would be much better. I like the minimalist design but I wish there was at least some kind of liner notes/track listing/etc. feels incomplete right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
