Derek™ Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I've got to say... despite the horrible reissue art, the LTLHLU jacket is extremely well done. It's got metallic ink and a really awesome spot-glass design that weaves on the front, back, and gatefold design. (Which looks better than the cover, in my opinion.) I'd totally keep a copy for myself, but I know it'd just gather dust on the shelf. Anyone who ordered one and didn't spring for Andrew's awesome jacket will be pretty happy with it, regardless.

Agreed. Got my copies yesterday and was surprised that it was so well done. I wasn't disappointed at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agua Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Got a generic email back saying to return the mistaken item.So I guess I'll do that. Hopefully they have a box of greens laying around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. It came out really well. It would have been cool if they would have maybe done some kind of embossed cover for tiger and the duke instead of a plain matte finish.

jameswiersema Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Tiger #1 and Lover #3 here! I guess the picture on Rich Ballings IG was a picture merchnow sent him since it is in my hand now. Also, got two A/B for Lover, one of you that got two C/D wanna trade?Nope, both are right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Tiger #1 and Lover #3 here! I guess the picture on Rich Ballings IG was a picture merchnow sent him since it is in my hand now. Also, got two A/B for Lover, one of you that got two C/D wanna trade? Are you sure? My C/D says LP 2 Side A and B. I've got someone else I'm trading with if he's truly got the LP 1 A/B--he's checking tonight. I'll let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameswiersema Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I was wrong, listened and they are both the right sides. After looking again it's etching does say LP2 A/B. I just saw A/B on both and skipped over where it says LP2. batman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jameswiersema Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Rich's #1 on top and mine on bottom. The writing doesn't match up and mine is checked accepted and his is not. Looks like there are another 25 TP that either got rejected or they decided to press 25 more after the first 25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 bizarre haha. i'm just hoping i can get another one sent out. they're supposed to cover the shipping back and give me a partial refund though. but still, what a pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing that's what the hold up was for, the first set weren't up to snuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I listened to Lover the other night and I realize that apart from about 3 to 4 really great tracks, that album as a whole has not aged well since 2006. At least, not for me. I was maybe more of an adventurous listener then. I still feel like I am but maybe not as much in that direction. The last track on the album has always been pure garbage. I can't stand it and would always turn the album off before I got more than 10 seconds into it. I used to blast this whole album in the car all the time when I first got it but I can't imagine doing that now. I'm going to hold onto it in the hopes that I warm up to it again but other than the few tracks that I totally love, the album is a highly labored listen in general. I have yet to give Tiger a full spin. Its been a while since I've listened to either on CD or digital at this point. jacobweigh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimoswim Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 is everyone just getting their test presses and 180g black copies in the mail, or have people who bought every variant receiving their full order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimoswim Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 i just checked the mail and i received all of mine as well now. i'm spinning my 180g tiger. its not much of an improvement quality-wise over the original CD, which is why i might have preferred that they press the remaster; but, i'll take what i can get.

As much as I love tiger & duke, to me, that feels like a dated album. However, I will agree with you that the last track on lover is straight up shit.

eskimoswim Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 other than the very last track on Lover, the craig owens "songs" are unbearable. had they removed all of that, i think people would have liked it better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_stretts Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Just revisited lover for the first time in a while - still love all of it. I remember when I first bought the cd and hated it - took a few more years for my tastes to develop and diversify. mixofuzz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zacooper Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Just opened my package up and they gave me two side C/D of my Lover test presses and no A/B. WTF. Both were numbered as #14/35 and one was checked as A/B and the other as C/D but when I checked the etchings and played them they were both LP 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
