wow that is really great! (and unexpected tbh)

Vinyl has finally arrived. Signed pic included. Looks great. Carl signed on Bo's legs so, it's easier to see.

Glad you got your pic, enjoy

Still no shipping notification, no answer to emails, nothing.

Did anyone actually get the digital download code from colortest on August 28th? I got the email in mid July saying the album shipping date but was pushed to after September 7th and in the same email said I would get a digital download on the album release date (which I understood when I purchased the album) but I never got anything via email.

10 days and still no response on the digital download question or when I can expect the album to be shipped. I see others complaining about this entire process and as a small business owner myself I don't see how there is any excuse to treat your customers this way, covid or not, if anything the band should have plenty of time right now to figure out how they sell their products to the public. It really isn't that hard logistically in this day and age, it's a complete disservice to their fans that they can't ever seem to get this right. Other bands I pre-order records or packages through never seem to have this problem.

Sadly, the band and their management has made horrible choices when it comes to their merch/marketing over the years. Just terrible. It shouldn't be that difficult.

I looked back and I did get my digital dl code on 8/27 from colortest.
Not sure what happened in your case - could have been in a spam folder or the email was blocked? Hard to tell.

In any case, I wish it were smoother as well. It sucks to hear about all these snafus.

I think that in the future they should implement a system where you create an account on their website when you preorder something that has a digital download and you can log in on a certain date and it will be available to you. That or they could use bandcamp or another site to let you download - so you don't necessarily have to depend on getting the email for the link.

The indie exclusive copy I have has pops throughout after several cleanings. I've heard it's an issue with the other pressings as well. I would take a good pressed & mastered version over 20 different color variants any day of the week. Super frustrating as I really love this record.

Pushed back again until October 9th in the UK

The band/management/whoever 100% need to go with someone else for their products/merch in the future. This is ridiculous

ColorTest was the "somebody else" after the Wonderful Union shitshows lol

Is everyone still waiting on vinyl and sweatpants/sweatshirt orders to be delivered? Just wanted to make sure I didn't miss them. Thanks!

Yeah, still waiting ... I ordered a few things besides the deluxe vinyl, which was probably not a smart thing to do. Ordered fairly early too, but missed being in the first 1000. Received an email on Sept 29 saying "It's coming shortly ... look for a shipping notice email".

Which has yet to be sent.

I just got mine on saturday!

Lucius · Oct 08, 2020, 06:04 AM

Vinyl finally arrived!

Mine is a weird brown colour. Until you hold it up to light you'd never know it was red/green. BUT it sounds great and the artwork is stunning so I'm just gonna resign and say, whatever dude. I really want foil artwork for W1 to sit alongside this now

Received my deluxe yesterday! Were there just a few lucky ones with the signed Danny Clinch photo?

I missed out.

So just walked outside to get the mail... and to my surprise... Colortest sent a new vinyl. I opened it and it was the correct green/orange splash vinyl!!!

Jackets N Pones · Oct 20, 2020, 05:44 PM

Got everything! So awesome

ranyart · Feb 28, 2021, 09:43 AM

Betsy and I watched a concert live stream yesterday from ALO. It was the first full on live show we've seen since the virus mess started and it was excellent!

But the highlight was their cover of...

Run It!!!!!!

Yes, ALO played Run It live before MMJ and it was freaking awesome. Chills down my spine fun. We want more and we want it now!

Would love to hear it. Randomly, ALO was actually the last live music my wife and I saw before it all got shut off, in Santa Barbara on Valentine's Day last year.
