Rephlex have made me sad with the Analord releases. Why are they just shipping in stupid plastic covers? I didn't mind too much until I received Analord 5, but I didn't not only is the fucking plastic cut short exposing the top of the vinyl it didn't even have the Analord sticker on it :( |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
How awful. |
||||||||
|
|

I got lost afterr received Analord 5, but I think I underrstand you, and yeah, that sounds a bit shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm. did you pick it up in a store? i was just curious if they slip it in a sealed casing? i've bought mine from online shops so they just came in plastic sleaves...and right into my binder. ho hum, rephlex cd's and lp's and ep's artwork/design are always kinda basic, occasionally they splurge...but remember its not about the packaging, its whats on the discs that count |

Sorry it was meant to say that I didn't not only is the fucking plastic cut short exposing the top of the vinyl it didn't even have the Analord sticker on it :( |

I haven't got the binder and the thin plastic sleeves offer no protection at all for the disk. Either they release 10 again with the binder or I sit crying myself into a dehydration coma. |
||||||||

Ahh, all becomes clearr. |

You could always buy yourself some disco bags and/or plain sleeves. But yeh, rephlex is a bit shitty for non-binder owners when it comes to the analord releases. |
||||||||
|
|

"..but remember its not about the packaging, its whats on the discs that count" you paid the larger part of 40 pounds for packaging which apparently doesn't count. |

Was there meant to be a sticker on the plastic of 5? |

I hate all this Analord mumbo jumbo |

Don't hate. Love. In the company of friends (online) |

Mine didn't. And yeh, it was cropped too short at the top. Its perfectly fine in the binder though. |
||||||||

The whole Analord schabang wreaks of a poorly executed marketting scheme that was spawned by a pretty good initial idea. |

PWN#d Right on the money, well said. |

If the music is all that matters then it has been a very good ride so far. I just wish the covers were better. |
||||||||

i agree. ... well, i've never seen the binders other than the pics on the web0rnet, but i've been pleasantly surprised by the tracks that i've heard. quite impressed even. i just think that they aimed for a really high-browed approach from beginning to end, and they kinda fell short in some fairly important ways. so, what you end up with is a rather pretentious looking binder of somewhat low quality, and really inconsistently packaged individual peices of vinyl. just seems somewhat half assed to me. but, i'm almost totally talking out of my ass. i am most likely quite wrong. |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|

what i mean is that for such a limited run of 'collector' quality music, the quality control could've been better. ..then again, we are music snobs, and could probably find somthing to complain about no matter how awesome Analord was. and, i do think it is pretty awesome. :) i'll shut up now. |
||||||||

what have they done? |

|

Missed my sticker on 5 and shitty packaging which resulted in me having to get a replacement Analord 4 due to a scratch in transit...partially due to shitty packing on behalf of Warp and partly because of shitty packaging by Rephlex. |
||||||||
|

I'm very glad I didn't waste any money on this Analord series |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
wait... did warpmart do this? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They did the Analord 4 thing...3 and four arrived just in the plastic back to back (no seperator) in what can only be described as one peice of cardboard clumsily folded around and held together with shitty tape, no padding or anything. Analord 5 I purchased from Boomkat. |

rephlex has NEVER been about consistency, availability, the publication of a proper discography, even grammar or anything like that. That said, Analord is probably the most well thought out, complete series they've ever done. I personally think the inconsistency (and alternatively genius/poor graphic design) is part of the appeal Incidentally Analord 10 didn't come with a barcode sticker either. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Also in all probability the vast majority of the hard work (mailings pressings etc) that goes into these releases is being done personally by grant and richard. Lastly the title and barcode is on the vinyl intself so it's not like we have less to "read" ok i'm done :) |
||||||||
|

"Incidentally Analord 10 didn't come with a barcode sticker either. " yes but it came direct from the label so why would it need one? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and...... that's bullshit. Don't promise something you can't deliver. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You're right, 10 doesn't need a barcode or sticker. People are complaining about the lack of a barcode sticker on 5 and its right on the disc. And rephlex never promised anything but 'further releases in the analord series' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
get off the fence and promise things you can't deliver 8 ) |

I didn't have a sticker on mine. |
||||||||
|
|

|

i got 3 and 4 from hmv and they were in worse condition than the 1 and 2 that i got of tinternet. all cam in the measley plastic bag thing with stickers on but thats it; skant protection. also i mailed rephlex through the booking enq. about anal 10 as they dont even have a link (as far as im aware) to contact them for general stuff but no reply ever came. |

try grant@rephlex.com i doubt he'll answer quickly though as he's busy putting discs in sleeves. |

Analord 5 didn't come with a sticker on the bag because the barcode was printed on the record label - Analords 1 - 4 didn't have barcodes on the record labels hence required stickers. I have to agree that the packaging has been shit - I held out buying Analord 10 due to the price and by the time I'd decided to buy it (pretty much when 1 and 2 came out) it was too late. I wouldn't mind so much if there was an alternative but it seems unfair on those of us who held out for a few weeks but have still went on to buy all the releases. I hope Rephlex decide to re-release the binder. The pressings have been first class though, amongst the best quality pressings I've heard, nice, chunky and loud! |

ye, rephlex is a poor label, it seems like they dont care that much about their fans/consumers... shitty artwork no musical definition total misinformation and i havent analord10 yet!!! its a shame, im planning about not getting any more rephlex album after analord... |
||||||||

a10 came with this pathetic binder, and it was not even packadged in this bubble envelope :( fuckin' bummer. anyway, every other analord came in great package from boomkat in bubble envelope. I wanna ask binder owners - how do you keep the binder? Standing, laying or what? When it stands like a regular vinyl record I am afraid vnyls can be damaged, because all of this shit weight so much... any suggestions how to keep it clean and safe? :P |

Haha! You recieved Anal! |

qrter, i love ur avatar. Lil's style! |

i'd rather rephlex spent the money on mastering and pressing quality vinyl rather than on packaging for analord. i didn't get the binder either, so i'm going to put my analords into 12" card sleeves. at the moment they're in danger of sliding out all over the place in the plastic sleeves. presumably if there's a release scheduled for 9 & 11, then 10 & 12 will follow? and then the inevitable CD release which will contain some (but not all) of the vinyl tracks and lob in a couple of extra CD only tracks? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
wee, i'm not sure its been mentioned but all the sticker info has been included on the flip side of analord 5 hence no need for sticker. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so now it's about the artwork instead of the music???? hmm |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it is about one of the greatest music in last 4 years. i do not want it to be destroyed and wanna keep it safe and clean :) so it is all about music pressed on the delicate vinyl that costed over 150$ so far and is worth a lot more (for me it is actually priceless). yeah - it is all about music, mate :) |
