radiatorhums Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Ah damn, I ordered Inventions with this and it's currently getting repressed. It's going to be a real struggle to not succumb to the temptation of mp3s! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectrum Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Got the blue one, too late on the gold... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_c Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Received my blue copy today. I wasn't able to listen to the record itself, but I'm listening to the album on my iPhone now and it's great. Heavy and thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amnstypls Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Got the gold today. It's a shitty trans orange... Flimsy jacket, no insert. Terribly disappointed. At least the music is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Got the gold today. It's a shitty trans orange... Flimsy jacket, no insert. Terribly disappointed. At least the music is great. The photo you sent me didn't look half-bad, really. Obviously not opaque gold, but at least it doesn't look neon-yellow like a lot of "gold" variants do. But the jacket itself is flimsy? That's really surprising to hear, considering it's a TRL release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the music is great. yeah definitely a trans orange. I should have gotten blue. So many "gold" records in my collection like this. Good record though.

Don't need an insert when all you need to know about the record is on the back of the jacket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I prefer trans gold to opaque gold 8 days a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neanderthal Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Got my blue in today. Spinning it now and it sounds fucking great! Agreed, the jacket is whatever, but I ain't trippin too much. I love that the 7" needs the adaptor. Feel like newer releases don't do that anymore, and it gives me a reason to use mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbruise Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Packaging is ultra weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 That's so weird because IAOOYAL was such a high quality package and was so inexpensive. I guess costs are catching up with TRL these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oojavaguru Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Got the Red Deluxe from Shirtkiller today in the mail.... The bonus 7" was just in the box below the LP (as opposed to being included inside the LP) with no protection (cardboard/bubble wrap/anything) around it. Like others have stated this is a very flimsy thin sleeve. Curious to see how this compares to the "deluxe" purple edition with art print that should be here tomorrow from TRL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I got mine from Temp Res today and the sleeve is a little flimsy, but I don't think I would have noticed if it wasn't pointed out. Definitely nothing I would freak out over. I do agree that the gold is more of an orange, but that doesn't really matter to me. Stoked to listen to this later on today, it seems like it's been a long time since I've had new YW in my life.

Curious to see how this compares to the "deluxe" purple edition with art print that should be here tomorrow from TRL My 7" was loose in the mailer from TL too, it showed up fine though.

youspinmeround Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I love threads that when I read them, half of them are the following posts: 1. Just got mine in the mail 2. do they send tracking info or just ship 3. Same complaints about the release Pretty much page 4 of this thread is 1 and 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I love threads that when I read them, half of them are the following posts: 1. Just got mine in the mail 2. do they send tracking info or just ship 3. Same complaints about the release Pretty much page 4 of this thread is 1 and 3 #1 and #2 do indeed seem pretty pointless, sure. You'll never find me posting about a shipping confirmation or tracking number unless someone specifically asks me. But #3 just falls into discussion of the product we paid for, as customers. I bet the world would be a better place if everyone only had positive things to say about the things they spent money on, and reserved any negative comments. But that's just not practical. If the packaging was over-the-top phenomenal, there would be the "same praise" shared from multiple users, more or less. It's just how these things go. Look at the thread for their last release, In & Out of Youth & Lightness. You'll find a similar group of users proclaiming their love for the packaging on that album, what it was priced at, and how impressed they are with TRL. Which leads me to... That's so weird because IAOOYAL was such a high quality package and was so inexpensive. This was the first thing that came to mind when I started reading complaints about the quality of the jacket. The gatefold on that thing is a beast. One of the nicer jackets in my collection, definitely. And I could be imagining things, but wasn't it priced similarly - if not cheaper - than Easy Pain? I'm almost positive it was. I recall thinking the price was a steal, and found myself wondering just what kind of profit margins they were even making off that press. Curious to see how this compares to the "deluxe" purple edition with art print that should be here tomorrow from TRL I'm 99% positive the quality of the materials will be identical. The only differences should be purple vinyl, a purple-foil cover, and the inclusion of that [pretty damn sweet] 3D art print. If there was bonus material or fancier packaging, I would've definitely considered that price a bit more. But either way, feel free to let us know what you think of it when it arrives. I'd love to see a photo or two of that print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 its the exact same price on TRL right now. $15. I don't understand. It would have been the shit if Easy Pain had come in a single pocket gatefold whether it would be the weight IAOOYAL's jacket. Sucks everyone says its so flimsy.

deletedunknown Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I'm wondering how much more it was to print the jackets in smaller quantities with different colors and the metallic finish. Ultimately I'm just going to try to focus on how awesome the music is and that I have an excuse to design a jacket for the 7". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
