andy. Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Figured I'd post this here instead of making a new thread. Since I'm going for a complete collection, I was looking up the Don't Let Me Cave In 7". I know there is the grey & orange ones that were released but apparently No Sleep released some in their subscriptions. I came across this statement from Soupy. He says that the 7" in the subscription was the "least rare color" but all the pictures I've seen of them [No Sleep variants] say/show it's dark blue or black. My question is: are the official variants the orange and grey marble ones? If yes, how can No Sleep have the "least rare" color when it's not the grey marble? Just curious so I don't end up wasting money on a record that isn't actually part of the collection. The subscription service "variant" is just the least rare color with a photocopied picture as the "exclusive cover" that's a picture of almost no one in the band. None of this was run by us, approved by us or is acknowledged as a variant by us. No Sleep just did that shit. This is an actual variant color that the band had input on the creation and dispensing of. Obviously my opinion on what variants do or do not exist is not the be all end all, but I kind of feel like, if a third party who had legit no part in the release of the 7" throws a whack "cover" over a record without the band being aware, it's not a variant.

pushbacktosquare Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 ^^^ Wow, from that quote it seems that they weren't behind the idea of the sub variant at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy. Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Which makes me not want it since the band wasn't even behind the release. That'll save me a decent bit of time and money by crossing those two off and not needing to worry about them. I just want to make sure they aren't part of it before I do that.

parkinglot Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 That's really weird. Looks like Soupy's not a fan of Chris and No Sleep...at least that's what anyone would gather from reading that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireyred77 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I've kind of wondered if Bastards, Vultures, Wolves is about Chris from No Sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious so I don't end up wasting money on a record that isn't actually part of the collection. did you find that quote on AP.net? if yes, then he said that in response to something i had said. i actually decided to sell my RSD variant of WBPF because i felt silly owning it at that point. edit: i preordered suburbia and my "don't let me cave in" is grey grey, and the hank the pigeon contest variants are orange. i don't think there was ever a black variant but i know some of the grey ones turned out dark or almost black from the marbling. those are the only two variants i know of, aside from the 2011 sub. Which makes me not want it since the band wasn't even behind the release. That'll save me a decent bit of time and money by crossing those two off and not needing to worry about them. I just want to make sure they aren't part of it before I do that. soupy has taken pictures of his complete collection before (pre-TGG) and it didn't have the subscription or RSD variants, if that makes you feel any better. That's really weird. Looks like Soupy's not a fan of Chris and No Sleep...at least that's what anyone would gather from reading that. pretty sure they're still on good terms but yeah there was a little bit of falling out. but they agreed to do sleeping on trash recently so i'd say it's water under the bridge.

aellerton Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Any word on HT pressing quality? Just really quiet, had to crank the volume to almost double what I normally listen at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diabretic Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 This record sounds like dogshit. Constant surface noise on both sides. After a thorough cleaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeeMoreGlass Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I don't think the RSD variant should be counted as a different variant because it is just the orange 7" from the third pressing but I still think you should count the subscription variant because there is a black one. I have the grey and the black and there is a clear difference in the color. Also, I bet if No Sleep had handled the vinyl release of this record it would have came out so much better. just my two cents... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipsterasfolk Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 What is this drama behind Soupy and Chris? I love record drama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chamb117 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 What is this drama behind Soupy and Chris? I love record drama i mean, i don't think they see eye to eye on how the aforementioned RSD/subscription stuff was handled, but other than that, i think they're fine.

jcduncan Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Got my Blue from MerchNow in the mail today. Shitty packaging, I must say (corners were bent). Oh well, I just need to listen to it and see how it sounds. I got the Devil 7 inch. The gray I pre-ordered from Hot Topic looks a lot better (especially packaging). I'm really hoping they don't sound as crappy as some people are saying. This is a great album and it needs to be heard on vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy. Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Thanks for all the input. I think I'm going to cross those ones off my list of needing to get. Back on topic, were shipping confirmations sent out or do the bundles just show up? I pre-ordered the $150 red 12" bundle and the only thing I have is from April saying my order was processed n stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billya Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 You guys are better than me. I'd count those things as part of a complete collection, but that's just me. pushbacktosquare 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffbloom Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 You guys are better than me. I'd count those things as part of a complete collection, but that's just me. I'm with you. If I was a complete variant collector, I'd count pressed dog shit if it was from the band I collected. Drama just makes those items more unique. I'd want them more.

But I'm not going to go out of my way to spend a chunk of change for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkinglot Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 My blue copy just came in. The surface noise is unbearable. Really annoying during the quiet parts. And i got the birds 7" and its warped like a taco shell, just not quite to that extent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chamb117 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 i'm grateful my 7"s weren't warped, although i hate those plastic sleeves they came in because the seams are guaranteed to split. i wish i bought all five 7"s, but i'm glad i didn't since i'm in the middle of getting rid of TWY variants...

andy. Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Anyone got pictures of the warped records? I'm still eagerly awaiting mine and crossing my fingers that they aren't messed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheriver Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Thought I got off lucky and just had a quiet record until the end of The Bastards/All of Devil In My Bloodstream when tons of surface noise was clear. Sounds like doodoo. Edit: The B side is even worse, probably shelfing this one for good after this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paintedinexile Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 My bundle showed up today, without a shipping confirmation. Haven't had a chance to listen to it, but I'm willing to bet there's surface noise like all the others. The upper right hand corner got bent on my 12", and the Devil 7" is warped as fuck.
