So, anyone need a white vinyl copy?

[Ragnaar]

Woohoo, my vinyl shipped on Thursday from the U.K

....wait...

[Pie1862]

I'm guessing you ordered from Invada UK?

[Ragnaar]

Nah, I think the SR store jumped the gun on my order. Maybe it means they've packaged it and it'll head out tomorrow (Thursday) They just worded it incorrectly, or maybe it's an email from the future.

So why no email announcement about this?
I see it on Instagram - but as we all know - instagram now does not deliver posts in a timely order.
I don't check here every day for record release announcements. Didnt know I was supposed to.
Obviously - as I am now seeing this, the blue vinyl is long sold out - again.
Im getting the white vinyl - its fine - but still frustrating as there seems to be no standard way to be on top of releases anymore.

[Ragnaar]

I don't know... I mean, I understand you wanting an email but this was epic-ally blasted across all of social media. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.... I actually saw it and ordered mine before Darren had posted on here about it. It seems it was everywhere in the cyber-sphere but email so I can't imagine you not catching it if you have any kind of social footprint at all.

but I'm glad you got a copy!!!

[Seq225]

Im only on instagram, and IG changed its feed last year - sometimes it takes a couple days to see a post - they dont go in chronological order anymore. There was a big outrage when they changed the algorithm.
Im not on twitter, not on facebook.
I ask this because email has consistently been the way SR announced releases it would seem up to this point.

[Ragnaar]

Well to fair, this wasn't exacly a SR release, it was a AS release. But you seem to have the hardest luck of everyone in getting these things, PM me yer email and I'll let you know when I know. I can't promise anything as I'm just yer average jo schmo but somehow get all the luck in seeing things on the social media platforms for SR.

[Ragnaar]

Wow, received my blue record today, now just waiting on the white.

[darren]

I ask this because email has consistently been the way SR announced releases it would seem up to this point.

alas i'm on holidays at the moment and didnt have time to do the mail out sorry!

[Pie1862]

Holiday!? Who authorized that?

[Seq225]

never a need to apologize. I have a good track record of being on limited band releases/ticket sales in general, well, I did anyway, but lately it seems to be getting harder, and Im frustrated. I am just trying to figure out how I can get better at upping my odds for always getting my hands on these limited vinyl releases the first time around before they are beyond affordable.

Hope your holiday is good.

[Ragnaar]

That's good to know, for a minute there I was worried SR really were endorsing male enhancement pills. (this is going to be awkward once you delete that thread)

[breakbeat]

He seemed so genuine

[Seq225]

OMG I freaking give up.
My copy of BM just got here from Amazon UK (Im in Los Angeles) and the record cover is bent and creased and the record itself is warped.
shipped from the UK in a very thin "frustration free" packaging.

I dont know - Im pretty damn "frustrated".

edit: Amazon UK site says they will refund and I dont have to return the item. So apart from the international purchase credit card charge - I have a free bent cover and warped copy of white vinyl Black Mirror.
yay?

edit 2: by the way, thank you all for putting up with my venting. Anyone is welcome to PM me and express their frustrations about anything. I promise to give a sympathetic ear.

Hey Seq225, so my BM copy is like a hat too. My advice is to find a record store with FURUTECH Disc Flatter DF-2 on board. This machine can repair it!

[breakbeat]

Just picked up the white vinyl for £23 in vinyl exchange

[Pie1862]

Invada Records (UK) have the Black Mirror (white) and Captain Fantastic (duck egg blue) vinyl in their sale at the moment.
