After being delayed several times the records finally turned up a couple of weeks before I was due to move which wasn’t a major problem. I thought I should be able to get them out before I move and announced the release date.
But then I realised that the records had a pressing defect and had to be sent back. The pressing plant said they would redo them as a priority so I should not have to wait too long to get the records back… I decided to keep to the planned release date stating that nothing would be shipped until the 7th August. Simon at Underground Music offered to help with the fulfilment which I was very grateful for.
So then the splatter vinyls arrived but not the black. Simon fulfilled all the orders that he could (ie orders that ONLY had Splatter and no other records from my store). The pressing plant said the black vinyls would be delivered the following week… Simon then went on holiday for a week.
Simon had linked his royal mail account to my store and said that the orders would automatically show as fulfilled in my store. But that didn’t work. So Simon had gone on holiday and I couldn’t reach him. And I had no idea which orders had been fulfilled. So that was a giant ballache and took a bit of time to sort out…
So where are we at now??
If you bought just a splatter and no other records then your order should have been delivered now, if not it is on the way.
If you placed an order that DID NOT contain a black YTS… Then your order has been shipped and should be with you soon.
If your order was for multiple records that INCLUDED a black YTS then your order has been picked and labelled and is waiting for YTS and then they will be shipped immediately…
If your order was for multiple records that included a splatter YTS then your order has probably gone out. Simon sent me some splatters but there was a shortfall of about 3 records…So there is a couple more orders I need to ship. Simon will send the rest of the splatters to me when he sends the black vinyls.
The black vinyls have now been pressed but the pressing plant have said they have run out of sleeves! Unbelievable!!! They are saying the sleeves should get delivered Tuesday or Wednesday… So hopefully the records will arrive with Simon on Thursday… Friday at the latest. Simon will fulfil all the orders that he can as soon as he gets them and he doesn’t hang around… Then he will forward the remainder of the records to me so I can fulfil the rest of my orders. So I could get them Friday if we are lucky…
I gotta say… This has proper stressed me out… lol… I hate letting you guys down and making you wait for your records. Does my head in…. So thank you for your continued patience and support and rest assured that me and Simon are doing everything we can to get the records to you as soon as is humanly possible… So please bear with us for a little while longer.
Thank You
Kind Regards

I am still waiting on the black vinyl “Yes To Satan” records to arrive. Was promised that they would be here at the start of this week but there have been some delays at the pressing plant (no surprises there then). They are now saying they will be here early next week so keeping my fingers crossed. The splatter vinyl version has been delivered and are good to go for Monday…
Please note that I am a one-man band and have a lot of orders to get through but I will be working tirelessly to get them all out by the end of next week. Again, sorry for the delay and thank you for your patience. Not long now!!!
Big Love

So just wanted to give all you vinyl repress loving maniacs a little update with regard to the forthcoming release on Warehouse Wax...
The hugely anticipated DSKF, New Science EP.
All I can really say is it shouldn't be too long now. We all know of the problems and delays with pressing plants but i have actually been told that... HOPEFULLY... We could have them by this time next week.
But please don't get your hopes up tooooo much. Just in case. Took 9 months for the Men From Del Bosca to arrive... This has been 6 months so far.
Please note that this record will not be available anywhere else but here at Vinyl Junkie UK. To ensure you get a notification when it's released please sign up to our newsletter.
(You can do this on our homepage).
]]>But I believe that honesty is always the best policy and I think it is the right thing to do to let you guys know before I ship the records. If any of you are not happy with this and want a refund then let me know. I will of course honour this.
All I can say is… I really don’t think you will be disappointed. As you know you are looking at about £80 minimum to buy an original pressing of this record. This repress has been remastered and sounds great and is actually 2dB louder than the original record. I am also giving you the digitals. So for the sake of a couple of clicks right at the end of track 4… But please feel free to let me know your thoughts on this…
So moving on. Something else I wanted to let you know…. The record has now sold out apart from a few safety copies I kept back to cover loss or damage in the postal system. So once everything is shipped then I may have a couple more copies spare. Also. PLEASE NOTE. I have had over 500 orders in the last week and I am actually a one-man operation at the moment so its going to take me a little while to get them all shipped so I hope you can bear with me.
Big Ups guys. I hope you have all had a great Xmas and heres wishing you all a Happy New Year. :)
