Having in mind how much they care to rerelease highly wanted iconic items, I also have hopes for a new heart shaped vinyl, whatever they might put on it. And for the coke necklace anyway, as she kind of confirmed it with her insta comment. Regarding merch I have more trust in her plans than regarding releases and other creative projects 😅

I think the ones on the pop up were dead stock (cause of the sticker) but with all the popularity it gained it might get repressed? The coke necklace obvi, maybe the lyric books since they were on the picture on the bookstore at the village, and hoping for the BTD flasks

The magazine came out on Wednesday, so it's one day delayed only so far.

Was this last year? They had technical problems for several months with their whole system including mails so I waited a really long time for a refund, but in the end I got it. I was very angry on their service then but the final result was OK, so I'd still classify them as reliable.

I just paid 35 EUR to DHL, but Amazon promised to refund this amount when the package is delivered, since it is their fault the package was sent via DHL though I chose standard delivery. I guess we will see if they go through with that or will I have paid 82eur for a fucking vinyl that is not even what they advertised. I am kinda pissed

They always need several days. They are (sometimes terribly) slow but reliable. It sometimes helps to give them a time until then you expect a reaction.
How much do they charge? In Germany they ask the usual 19% VAT they forward to the state plus a fee of 6 EUR. UPS takes a percentage of the value plus a lot more as a fee, I think twice as much. Last time I paid 38 EUR to UPS only, plus VAT additionally...

Honestly I have never had to pay any sorts of fees with different delivery companies here and I regularly buy vinyl online from abroad, it's always DHL that fucks me up

i got my t-shirt and hoodie boxsets today. The t-shirt box is just cheap and flimsy. Stupid. But the big hoodie one is kind of nice. It's sturdy like a "boxset" box should be. I'll probably use it to store some of her merch.

That looks cool, but low effort, thats not a boxset more like a container with a picture

Someone on reddit got their hoodie boxsets already
Looks like the same thin material as my t-shirt box, but at least it has a lid

Yes! I highly suggest collectors to NOT ever buy resell price of Assai. I looked up “Chemtrails” Assai edition on Discogs and saw some ridiculous resell prices. Ya’ll just print your own at that point 😂
Another thing I forgot to mention is that I dislike the idea of them opening up a sealed records. If I were running the business, I would slip the Obi strip on the newly sealed record.
Also, it appears Assai did not include the hype sticker that says “Limited edition green vinyl + alternative cover” that comes with all indie exclusive pressings - based on the image shared.
That’s a big no no for collectors. The album is no longer “mint” in that case.
Also, I looked it up and it appears they sell these Assai exclusives at just the same price as retail, which is great to know!
Again, not saying they’re ripping people off - but they can indeed do a lot better. It just takes more time, research, and most importantly passion to answer why they’re creating these Obi strips.

I love the idea of Assai putting Obi strips on their records to create an exclusive feel to the pressing, and the idea of supporting local record stores is dope! and it’s a cute homage to Japanese pressings
My only gripes I have with this company is they put little-to-no-effort in designing these strips. If you look at Japanese obi strips, there’s a lot of text and info about the album/artist, and there’s better design composition. The graphic designer behind these aren’t really creative tbh. It feels like they literally google translates the artist’s name on top of a strip of paper, and they called it a day. I hope they are not charging extra or more than retail price because that would be a huge rip-off.
There’s not even a premium feel to it because they write on the strip with a Sharpie, when they can have something pressed or debossed on top.
Sorry, for complaining but I also bought an Assai record from them once, and was very underwhelmed w their “exclusive” pressing.

On the second page the interviewer asks her if she gets panick attacks and she talked about Coachella and the tensions with North Korea (LFL era lol)
Then she's asked if she watches her own concert videos and she doesn't enjoy it because she's a control freak and sees everything that's wrong
However, she enjoys watching her acapella jazz soundchecks
I'll post more later

Lemme try to upload it somewhere lol
and yes it's a couple of double pages and single ones with pics we've already seen: title track single, Amazon variant cover, green variant cover, original cover, the other one where she's smiling it's on the back of certain versions, and there's also a 2012 pic

I received my dark version today. So they are reaching the EU now. The quality of the cover pic is not amazing however. The pics inside seem to be the same as those in the colored version as it looks like.

The last times they always did and the 2nd press always differed from the first one (for chemtrails it was so much better), so I guess it is not unlikely.
