chiefwahoo Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 https://megamart.subpop.com/releases/the_afghan_whigs/do_to_the_beast *Notice: LP First Pressing Issue* We have found that there is a flaw on side D of the first pressing of the vinyl edition of Do to the Beast. The 2xLP is currently out of stock, and we are working to fix the issue on all future pressings of the album. (There is no issue with the CD version.) If you pre-ordered the record from us here in the Sub Pop Mega Mart, please email us with your order number and shipping address and we will issue replacement records for the 2nd disc once they are available. And: Just an update to everyone who has written about the defect on side D during the song Royal Cream. A new lacquer has been cut for side D and a new test pressing is being made to make sure that defect has been fixed. Once the new test is approved, our manufacturer will be pressing a quantity of replacement records for the 2nd disc only. Replacements for both the white Loser editions and black vinyl will be made. We will be sending replacement Loser editions to those of you who have written in reporting a defective copy ordered from Sub Pop’s Mega Mart as soon as we have them in stock. We’re not totally sure when that will be, but it should be in the next few weeks at best. Any copies purchased from other stores (online and physical) will need to be replaced/returned at the original point of sale, as we will only be replacing copies bought directly through SubPop.com. If you have not already done so, please include your name, order number, and shipping address you'd like the replacement sent to. Thanks for your understanding and patience while we work to make sure everyone gets taken care of during this unfortunate error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannibal Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Returning it to the store where I bought it. I guess it's the best they could do. Hopefully they have a return policy in place for the stores that have to accept the defective product. Issues like this suck for everyone. Hopefully this new disc 2 will be better and no one gets hurt too badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedpig Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I do. White is the loser edition. My black vinyl disc is noisy like others have said. Lots of pops and clicks. I also don't feel like it was mastered all that well, either, but I've only run through it once. Cheers for that. I had (wrongly) assumed that everyone was talking about the white version. Oh, well that's disappointing news from Subpop. I managed to call up the store where I ordered it, and the guy managed to intercept the parcel before it left. Told them to send me Black Love instead!

billynomates Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Not even available to buy in the uk so I guess that's why. My amazon order has been put back to 28th April but not really expecting then either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyfranciosa Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I got my replacement LP2 today. Haven't had a chance to listen, but I might get to it tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noone Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 my replacement white has traces of something darker, either black or purple. looks accidental, not marbled or splattered. is this common with whites? i'm not gonna whine to sub pop, just curious. i'm a noob.

kannibal Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Trace colors are not "normal" but they are common. Into vinyl? Get used to it, or better yet, enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyfranciosa Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Mine definitely has some black flecks in it. As for the sound... I can't tell any difference from the version I had already, so maybe my second record was fine in the original package. Whatevs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get used to it, or better yet, enjoy it thanks. and yeah, i've got the collector gene and a complete lack of willpower, so i'll do my best to enjoy it before the inevitable bankruptcy.

chiefwahoo Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Picked this up on clear vinyl at the show. Not sure if it's a tour only color or not but it was the first I'd heard of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiefwahoo Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I only noticed one shirt. Black with that pentagram-ish logo on it. What was the other one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blugel Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 A pic someone took at the first US show of this leg had that pentagram shirt and one with just the band name on it (in a nice font)...was hoping they'd bring some of the shirts from Euro leg over, but guess not...
