cwhitmuzik Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 If there have starbursts when I see them next week I'll pick one up for someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelmanfredi Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 very jealous of the people at the beginning of the tour that will be able to hear it a month before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtw88 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 The release date actually got pushed up to 7/22, and I think it may be streaming before then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearchuck Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 We don't have our copies of the record yet, but they should be shipping to us within the next couple of days. Obviously it's going to take some time to assemble everything and pack up all the pre-orders, but it looks like we'll be way ahead of our original August shipping projection ... which is nice.

cwhitmuzik Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I'll pick up an extra starburst or two on Monday for people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas_Nassiff Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 this record is damn good. there are brand new influences here, which is voodoo to say sometimes, but they are incorporated into this band's sound admirably well. digging it.

cwhitmuzik Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Yeah, this is probably their best release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkinglot Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 A more atmospheric record? Seems like it from the couple songs I've heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danionly Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Seeing them on the 20th. Wondering if they'll still have the starburst by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearchuck Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 How often have you heard this in the past couple years?! How often have I heard it from the pressing plant ... or how often have I said it? Rarely, and maybe once or twice. In this case, I did a lot of begging a pleading in order to get these records finished before Dikembe's tour. Until last week, I wasn't sure if it was going to work out. But it did, and they're done earlier than we thought! YouLoveHisWife 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's awesome to hear that something is ahead of schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeepo Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Dikembe posted another picture on their FB Now I wish I could have gotten that starburst because holy hell it is pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Yeah that starburst works great with the art. I figured white/green would be the better looking one but nope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Yeah that starburst works great with the art.

I also think it equates to more sales to be honest. /100 black, and /500 rainbow splatter? I NEED BOTH! /100 rainbow splatter, and /500 black? Then I say more people just grab the /100.Also, not saying it's a bad thing. I think it's cool when a less limited variant is awesome looking, because more people can grab one.

After releasing nearly 40 records, it has become pretty clear to me that even if we're talking about the most rare variant, most kids aren't all that into black vinyl ... which is too bad cause it actually sounds the best. Much less surface imperfections than colored vinyl. Less prone to warpage as well. And while I can't speak for other labels, the percentage of customers buying package deals from Tiny Engines - whether it's 2, 3 or 4 variants - is quite low. Especially for LPs. I'm not sure why that is; maybe our bands just aren't at that level yet, but either way it doesn't equate to more sales. Also, from a financial standpoint, it cost about 99 cents each for black 12-inch LP. Starburst is $2.36. It would be a huge cost increase if we did starburst in larger quantities. Again, we're not at a point where we can afford that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
