Melvins/Isis split 12"

[WeEmptyRooms]

How many of these were pressed? And were they ALL damaged. Mine turned up shrink wrapped and completely fucked. I ordered two (one for a mate) and of them is actually unplayable, the other is just severely scratched and covered in fingerprints.

Anyone know what pressing plant they used? so i know never to use them!

Mine was perfectly fine.  Direct from Hydra Head, the color I picked was black.

Didn't know there were colour choices.

I do know conspiracy had to send ALL 160 copies they got back!

Total mess this pressing has been. i don't envy the HH or the distro's positions

I played my pink marbled one today for the first time. That's not a play on words although it should be. It played perfectly; in fact the vinyl is so heavy I imagine it's unwarpable. I haven't taken the black one out of its shrinkwrap so I can't account for that one. Kinda like the Isis songs but the production is a bit too 'nice' really.

It's curious; I'm not sure why were seeing problems with records from HH as well as Ipecac.

It's not been a terribly good vintage, this year, has it? HH have always sent perfect vinyl to me so far. Haven't got any Ipecac vinyl except Melvins and it has been fine, too. (Haven't opened my Nude With Boots LP to see how good/bad it is, though.)

Never had any problems with Hydra Head vinyl.

All other hydrahead LPs i have bought have been Pirates Press ones (who use GZ in Czech). This new one is not a Pirate press, no idea where it was done but it is appalling they would pass it off as sellable.

I've bought a lot of Hydra Head vinyl.. Never had a problem. In fact I'd say It's all Very high quality.
-I bought one of the splits at the Merch booth on the last tour. It plays fine and seems to be made very well.
Got a second one off of Amazon, cause I pre-ordered it (should of gotten it from HH)- I guess I'm lucky, It showed up in good shape. Haven't opened it to play though.
