hallowken78 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Got my white today from RevHQ and it sounds great. Agreed about the 2xLP gatefold though. All that empty space... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtobi-wanx Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 haven't received my merchnow copy, yet. but, what is that issue with the gatefold? are you really complaining about it? usually, I really dig gatefolds because of the expanded artwork. any issues with that in this release? or are you just implying, that the second side should be glued together so it's simply closed?

It really doesn't bother me, just found it odd that it was even open when there's nothing in it. And I agree in that I much prefer gatefolds. Did anybody pick up the screenprint? http://merchnow.com/products/175294/bane-cdscreen-print Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The artwork is great and I like having the lyrics printed inside the gatefold, especially with the personal notes about Wrong Planet. I listened to it today, sounds great.

SBarry Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Not going to lie when I got my copy I was like wtf was this a double LP and did I just get screwed on the second?! Haha it's a nice touch and the extended artwork is cooler I think as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minoratheart Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Edit: all is well. Merchnow sent me the missing copy. On a different note, this album is incredibly good. I'm so glad that Bane are going out like that. I'm also stoked that they're getting so much attention (again). And to keep things more interesting collecting-wise, there's also a pressing on black vinyl out there. That makes purple, orange, turquoise, clear, black, white, blue and yellow so far.

minoratheart Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I believe that black variant is a test press. I could be wrong though. Nope, I'm pretty sure it's a different pressing. Coretex has a black vinyl option listed in its online shop. I don't believe that there are any test pressings of the European pressing left since End Hits put the remaining three of four copies up for sale a few weeks ago.

kyacrash Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Thanks for the heads up on the black, just ordered one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_girlfriend Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 My fiance preordered the first pressing yellow opaque vinyl, but received this: http://i.imgur.com/PKMO41l.jpg The label on the packaging stated that it was opaque yellow, clearly that is not the case. We haven't found any other mentions of a blue and white vynl being released... Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffbloom Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 This was probably the hardest release to add to the calendar. So many foreign variants and they're all sold out or unavailable or I can't read the language. I think I got it right though. -- http://melodicallydeaf.com/archives/2014/may.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I got it right though. -- http://melodicallydeaf.com/archives/2014/may.html Good job, but there are a few things you might wanna change: the European label is called End Hits Records, not Coretex; you didn't mention the white/blue mix; there are 20 test pressings on End Hits; the black and clear versions are not really Coretex exclusives seeing that the band are selling these on tour right now (and distros might have these colours too).

Jesus I can't keep up. I'll try to fix this when I get home later today. Wanna be a doll and copy and paste the entry and make the changes and I'll input them? It'd help my frustration a lot.

kyacrash Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Blue white swirl!! I wonder if that's what the band was supposed to have with them on the US tour? I want one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_girlfriend Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 So I hadn't realized before that there was yellow, blue and white pressings in the release (I thought there was only yellow/blue), so maybe ours was a mistake? I contacted Merchnow and they said that there should not have been any blue and white pressings. Its pretty cool though so I can't say we are bummed about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not 100% sure I really understood what you wanted me to do here, but I've done this: Bane - Don't Wait Up First Press: Blue | 500 (Equal Vision) Yellow | 500 (Equal Vision) SOLD OUT Black (= test pressings) | 20 (End Hits) Orange | 500 (End Hits) SOLD OUT Turquoise Blue | 400 (End Hits) SOLD OUT Purple | 300 (End Hits / Green Hell Exclusive) SOLD OUT Second Press: Clear | 500 (End Hits) (Germany) SOLD OUT Black | ??? (End Hits) (Germany) White | 700 (Equal Vision) White/blue swirl | ??? (Equal Vision) Not sure about the categorization of first/second press with white and white/blue swirl.

If not, there could be more than one. It could be that this is some sort of transition press from changing from blue to white. Not sure if that'd come out like this though.
