drummerboy032 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 It looks like they put too much glue on the inner sleeves and it leaked out onto the LPs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vool Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Just checked my records...all of them came with corner dings, Act II with a huge bend in the top left corner ...as if this wasn't enough, my Act III has this glue jizz on both records as well as a huge scratch on side A...! Damn... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Customguitars87 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 FYI guys, and this is just MY personal experience so I cannot guarantee this'll work for you...I realized that my Act 3 was screwed up and wasn't going to get any worse, so i tried out an experiment. I have the typical cookie cutter cleaning equipment: Vinyl Styl solution and cleaning pad. I put a BUNCH of the cleaner on the stuck-on glue/jizz, and put in some elbow grease with the cleaning pad. 95% of it came off, and now instead of it skipping on the same three words it plays through perfectly minus a bit of extra static in the spot where the glue line was (not louder than the music). So, basically this fixed my albums problems by about 95%. I still obviously want a copy that doesnt have any inherent quality issues, but this at least softens the wait so I can still enjoy the record.

derby625 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 FYI: These are on sale today from SRC http://www.shopradiocast.com/search.php?search_query=dear+hunter&x=0&y=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah511 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 That act 3 looks like the original. The sku is from 09 whereas the other ones are from 2014. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewlucas Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 That act 3 looks like the original. The sku is from 09 whereas the other ones are from 2014. SRC is good at using copy and paste. Its very very unlikely that they have some of the original pressing available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chamb117 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 it's almost worth pulling the trigger on, though, especially at $12.99. it's $24 at triple crown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacooper Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Sent an email to merchdirect last night re: status of Act III repress for the glue issue and got this response: The record label said that the repressings are done and are shipping out from europe this week, so we're hoping to have them in and shipping out to everyone within the next few weeks. onwardempire, andrewlucas, toxicity and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toomanyrecords Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Super late to the party but is there going to be ANY way to get a bundle for a reasonable price at this point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toomanyrecords Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 How is the quality of the pressings sold on SRC. Can anyone give me details? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derby625 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 How is the quality of the pressings sold on SRC. Can anyone give me details? Once I get mine, I'll let you know. They've been on "back order 3-5 days" since I ordered a few weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chamb117 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 same here, still waiting. can't ask for a refund because they only give store credit so i just have to wait it out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, that makes me worry that by the time you get them and I order they'll be sold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyVinyls Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I got my replacement in the mail today, they shipped it like a tank! Question before I open it: is it a possibility this is NOT the 180g version? And how would I know? Would the SKU# be different? Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derby625 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Came home today and found my SRC order waiting. Didn't even know they shipped but it's nice being in Buffalo as next day delivery happens. I will open/spin them tomorrow. It's off to play tennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toomanyrecords Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Are they the 180g on SRC or the regular? Lemme know the quality of them! If they're good, I'm gonna order on the spot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just weighed Act I that I purchased from SRC during their RSD week sale and it came in at 150 grams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardboardDoom Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Just weighed Act I that I purchased from SRC during their RSD week sale and it came in at 150 grams. There's no way SRC has any 180g. There were only 300 pressed of each act in 180g which sold out very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
