Black Mirror - Hang the DJ

Ragnaar 2018-07-18 18:23:26 UTC #39

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

....wait...

Pie1862 2018-07-18 21:06:30 UTC #40

I'm guessing you ordered from Invada UK?

Ragnaar 2018-07-18 22:50:26 UTC #41

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.

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!!!

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 2018-07-19 04:07:51 UTC #45

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 2018-07-20 23:05:22 UTC #46

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

darren 2018-07-22 11:53:36 UTC #47

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

Pie1862 2018-07-22 12:44:00 UTC #48

Holiday!? Who authorized that?

Seq225 2018-07-22 18:48:59 UTC #49

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 2018-07-24 12:10:05 UTC #50

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)

He seemed so genuine

Seq225 2018-07-24 20:48:16 UTC #52

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 2018-10-07 13:16:18 UTC #54

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

Pie1862 2019-02-12 12:36:15 UTC #55

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

Pie1862 2019-09-04 20:09:04 UTC #56

And now there's a glow in the dark repress coming on Invada Records.

Alex_Lungley 2019-09-05 20:47:59 UTC #57

Where did you see this - I can’t find anything.

Pie1862 2019-09-05 22:14:00 UTC #58

It was on Alex's Instagram story a couple of days ago. Described as limited repress, coming soon.
