mcpherson123 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Ok. I played my copy yesterday and it has a bunch of the outgassing staining all over the A-side and some on the b-side and there is a bit of noise in the quieter parts of the record which is a shame because it was an outstanding press otherwise when it was new.

Flawless shape.It must be the cold/dry air in Canada that is keeping their copies in such good shape. Get a little heat and humidity on those things and they are wrecked.

mcpherson123 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Got my soundcitybeaches copy today. Absolutely no residue whatsoever. Flawless shape. Amazing! Just bought one to replace my destroyed one. I will be removing the LP completely from the supplied jacket and keeping it in a high quality inner sleeve and a generic outer sleeve with a poly sleeve over it. Fuck.

dantheriver Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Good call. Looks like they are sold out again. I follow anything tagged glassjaw in the vinyl section of eBay, so I will continue to post these as they become available. Those of you really wanting one might want to do the same in case I'm not checking often enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobodybrokeurheart Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Does anyone have any info on who the fuck soundcitybeaches is/what their dealio is? There was a limited press of old world underground by metric on yellow/gold/i don't remember, those sold out, everyone got their shit eventually, then several months later Sound City Beaches put up mysterious/unknown/no fucking info whatsover copies on black. No one ever found these being sold in some kind of official merch store/retail website.... only existing on ebay from Sound City. These dudes got the fucking hook up somehow. Based on that experience these are all probs fresh represses. but seriously, what the fuck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I was thinking that these may very well be a straight up repress for RSD BF 2013 that hasn't been announced yet since they very adamantly included that year in the listing and they seem to know their shit. These dudes are wild and always bring the deals especially on imported shit. Either that or these dudes are bootlegging hard in house. I highly doubt the latter but you never know. Also, before they restocked today, I was convinced they were out of stock since its been a few days since they put more up. Glad to see they continue to show up. I wonder how long before they're gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFP Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 All I know is SoundCityBeaches has great packaging, fast shipping and good shipping prices from the past when I ordered from them. Also, pretty good prices on LP's in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a little heat and humidity on those things and they are wrecked. I think this is probably the best logical explanation. I have never bought this album because of all the horror stories. From what I understand, the jacket is clear plastic, is the supplied inner sleeve also made out of the same clear plastic? If that's the case, I don't think it's necessary to not use the jacket at all, I'd just put the media inside a different inner sleeve to ensure it has no contact with any of the plastic and as everyone should do with their records anyways, keep it stored in a reasonably cool and dry place.

mcpherson123 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I'm pretty sure the inner flap plastic is slightly different than the outer plastic. I also have the Russian Circles/These Arms Are Snakes split and that album looks and sounds perfectly good. It is only covered in a plastic reminiscent of that which is on the outside of the W&T LP. I have had it since 2009. However, my copies of W&T are outgassed to shit. I'm not taking any chances with this BS. I'm completely isolating this LP from that shitty plastic. Even the B-side which never touches the inner flap has a slight bit of the staining like its a plague that travels through the LP's system... you know like as if it were a living organism or something.

throwgncpr Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 my russian circles is borked. I received two of them recently from Sargent House and they were both fucked. Do yourself a favor and get rid of those crappy plastic sleeves while the record is still fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I'll probably just grab a nice square poly-lined inner sleeve for the RC/TAAS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaviorSelf Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 a few more popped up on ebay through soundcitybeaches. I couldnt pass up the opportunity. I really wonder how or why this seller keeps getting copies of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwgncpr Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 took a chance. I hope I don't regret this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaviorSelf Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 took a chance. I hope I don't regret this... Other posters said their copies arrived in mint condition. Either way, its not like you paid an arm and a leg for it. Im sure it will hold resale value if you end up not wanting to keep it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwgncpr Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 yep. Here's a thought: it would be cool if we organized a group to get some proper sleeves printed for this, like for the O'Brother EP. I'd throw a few bucks at a cool screened cover.
