aflycon Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 That's the only thing that makes sense. This should have been expected since it was advertised as a one time pressing of 500. Imagine the shitstorm if there were jackets numbered 1-200 and then 1-300, and just one of them ended up in the wrong pile. Then there are two #69s for one of the variant and we'd make an even bigger fuss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundrstruckk Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Honestly I don't care what number I get. Hopefully coming today but I just wanna listen to the damn thing. No sense in bitching about numbers when we could be enjoying Damascus! drds89 and eskimosnow27 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abovetheearth Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 GET THE FUCK OVER IT, ITS A GOD DAMN NUMBER ON A PIECE OF CARD STOCK. IT HAS NO VALUE.This release is gorgeous. In every way. Sly hit a home run with this release so this statement knocks my socks off. (Meaning I love it)"I'm not asking for a refund or anything..." Oh my. Oh my that that line even was said.

NoWorthyIcons Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 This record is even more beautiful in person, as hard as it is to imagine that. I'll probably be spinning it most of today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 spinning this now! sounds good, but the bass seems a little high. anyone else experience this? Just at first, but I wouldn't have noticed without your post. I run Denon TT, Marantz 2270 receiver, and replaced my old Cerwin Vegas with Polk 4 ways (no sub). I've been addicted to the loudness button since 1982, so popped it off and turned up the volume, left the bass EQ in the middle, and still sounded weak. I turned it up a couple notches and it was OK. Went back down on the volume and pushed the loudness button back in. Sounded fine the rest of the album. My daughter liked it (had not shared with her before), after that boom intro and the piano raindrops, she was fully engaged, gave it a 9/10 on the first pass. She wanted a little more keys but that is her instrument. Minimal to no grit on the Haze variant, easy clean, just slight surface noise on the first 10 to 15 seconds (I use a carbon fiber brush and blue anti-static gun as well after cleaning, since my wife keeps the humidity way down). Another cleaning and it should be perfect. Best Haze variant in a LONG time. Got mine today, beautiful. #298 Clear #345 Splatter #297 Clear Haze #344 Splatter must be legit props to Forbsie, Scott, Damascus and all involved in this superb production! batman, jameswiersema, forbenator and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deafening Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Fuck that splatter is so gorgeous, but I'm very happy with my haze purchase. #33. props to Forbsie, Scott, Damascus and all involved in this superb production! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Requiescat Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Still awaiting both my variants + my test press with pretty drawings per my request. Starting to feel neglected and/or left out, haha. Still love you SlyVinyl guys though. Glad to be a part of the team! Definitely want to be more involved when the next release comes around!

raynerho Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 ...oh, and signatures!! hey forbenator, just wondering if there is a tentative date the tests will ship? forbenator 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forbenator Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 hey forbenator, just wondering if there is a tentative date the tests will ship? Hey there! Sorry for the delayed response!! Real life has been pretty damn hectic in the past month. Busyyyyyy So, the tests are being worked for sure. We definitely have them. It's more a matter of the screen printing finishing up which Scott has taken care of and is under way. As I'm sure you may have heard, a bunch of these records (roughly 100+) are possibly lost in transit thanks to the USPS. We're trying to figure out what's up with that too... so these variants may actually become much more rare. Scott's out of the office and on vacation right now. I'm off w/ work until Wednesday. We're all pretty much locked up in real life busy-ness. As soon as I have a better word on things I'll get that out to you guys ASAP! Thanks again everybody!

forbenator Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Wow, how the hell is that even possible? I mean...no words...USPS at its best! It's a sad, sad story... But we must press on!! Robert_Sofa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forbenator Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 hey forbenator, just wondering if there is a tentative date the tests will ship? TEST PRESS UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got ahold of Scott yesterday to see where things were at. He said he'd sent them to Damascus already and was waiting for the return shipment of signed goods! Jackets are completed. I've yet to see photos... but from what he had to say... WELL WORTH THE WAIT WE'VE ALL ENDURED! ...SO!.. I texted Edwin (from Damascus) and he did confirm that they've got 'em and they're about to be heading back over to the SlyVinyl HQ in Denver SOON! The band has been in the studio finishing up their latest record so it's been absurdly busy for them all! Long story short... these should be out to you in the near future! In summation: We truly CANNOT THANK YOU ALL ENOUGH for your patience in this. This particular type of creation is brand new for us and required a LOT of coordination to complete. We hope that the end product satisfies you all. These will be some truly special gems within your collections/archives!!
