Yeah that's the unfortunate part about colored vinyl and why I ultimately chose to get the regular old black wax. I have had a lot of bad luck with colored vinyl. I don't know if it's my typical Charlie Brown luck, but a lot of my colored pieces came convex/bowed right out of the sealed package, which is a let down. I was burnt on record store day with the 'mulberry' pressing of Grinderman's Palace of Montezuma 12".  And sometimes I notice some of my colored pieces have a slightly degraded noise floor (hiss/low static). Nothing beats a high quality 180g from RTI or Quiex. It's a shame because this set seems like such a great package. I hope you guys can get some satisfaction.
Things change and get strange with the movement of time, it's happening right now to you.

I got the regular copy and both discs are warped (the second is worse). I have heard multiple skips on every side. A, B, C, and D. Very upsetting because otherwise the actual sound quality is fantastic.

Also I'm listening on a crosley with a pretty heavy head that rarely skips even on vinyl that'll skip on other turntables. Unfortunately my technics needs a new needle and is currently out of commission so I cannot see how they will play on there.

Hopefully this gets fixed for everyone.

The packaging for the standard was incredibly surprising.  Sturdy sleeve, handwritten lyric sheet, download card, and sturdy sleeve inserts.  My vinyl was in perfect shape, no warping, even after enduring 6 hours in the 100 degree heat while i was at work.

That is crazy that the regular version is also warped. I kind of figured it would be just the colored vinyl. Bummer.

I think it's a huge problem. They are going to have to do a major recall. There must be so many records distributed and unopened, people don't even know about yet.

Maybe this will be the new Butcher Cover Collectible!!

+1 here. Disc 1 off-center (the needle shouldn't be moving 1/4" left-to-right while the disc spins), Disc 2 warped significantly. Both discs will track but at times just barely, can see the stylus moving around in ways I usually do NOT see.
I didn't actually notice this until you pointed it out but disc 1 is well off center for me as well.  It plays but it can't be good for the stylus and is likely compromising some audio quality.  I have the standard vinyl as well but I'm not opening it yet until I find out what's up with this situation.

I join your ranks. It's kinda cool when my stylus bounces in perfect rhythm with Black Metal though   ;D
