anomynous Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I kinda hope the colors don't end up being way cooler than this "first pressing," like the IndieGoGo Volition vs the retail copies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizza face Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 The only color that I think could be better is Kezia, but that's only from the photos I've seen. I honestly wouldn't mind buying that album again though, it's my favorite by them...but seeing as it did cost a lot to ship I'd have to buy the all the represses again to make it worth it.

nickxmurphy Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 According to discogs, the clear gold is the second pressing. Interestingly, the first pressing seems to be a 2xLP on 180 G. 2nd. The first was just black, embossed cover, the gold was re-pressed a few years go. Thanks, guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elnombre91 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I kinda hope the colors don't end up being way cooler than this "first pressing," like the IndieGoGo Volition vs the retail copies.My indiegogo variant is one of my most prized records, it's not super rare or anything but the cover art is amazing and I do like the variant as well, just wish it was pressed on a heavier weight, it's so flimsy. Also, as I've never thought about this before, what is the standard weight for 12"s? I saw these were pressed on 140g, doesn't seem like much of a big deal to me?

futures Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 2nd The first was just black, embossed cover, the gold was re-pressed a few years go. I can double check the matrix, but I have a feeling they came from the same plates. I'm curious if they used new plates for these new releases. Managed to get my order in to keep my PTH variant collection complete! (too many damn variants now) I'll make sure to post a new photo once they arrive! If the 1st press was 2xLP (according to discogs) and the 2nd was a single LP, then it'd be from different plates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the 1st press was 2xLP (according to discogs) and the 2nd was a single LP, then it'd be from different plates. the first press is not a 2LP, where does it say that in discogs? http://www.discogs.com/Protest-The-Hero-Kezia/master/109353 I think people might be confused since the album is a 4 part concept album. (not 4 sides on 2 LP's) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(not 4 sides on 2 LP's) i was just going by the listing plus the length of the songs. usually when its divided like that (regardless of it being a concept album) it means 2LPs. But idk for sure since I dont own it. Which is why I put (according to discogs). doesnt matter to me either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Pflugey Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I may or may not have two copies of each depending on whether or not they cancel my order because I'm still waiting for them to do so. My friend bailed on wanting them after I paid for em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also double checked, the first 2 pressings used the same plates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rottengoth Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Wait so why didn't they say anything about the volition pre order as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elnombre91 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Is it me or does the preorder they've put up for Volition look exactly the same as the one that is available on their USA store, unless they just couldn't be bothered to come up with a new picture for this variant?

najerarick88 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 That's exaclty what I was thinking because I have that exact variant of Volition, which I purchased from MerchNow. I wish they would've pressed a new color for it, I would've been all over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickxmurphy Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 What pressing of Fortress do we think the new green variant is? There are a few different pressings out in North America and Europe and it's all a little confusing.I've seen translucent purple swirl, clear, black, translucent green, opaque purple, and a solid yellow; and there are ones with purple labels and others with black and gold. I have a black version with a purple label and Cobraside on the jacket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

najerarick88 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Just received my shipment confirmation/tracking number from Canadian Post regarding my order, so psyched!! Expected delivery date is 1/15 to San Diego. I went with the Expedited Shipping just in case anyone is wondering. Hopefully everyone else starts getting their tracking info.
