I got my Mo-Fi Inner in the jacket. The outer is likely near impossible due to the static sticker however.I guarantee whoever came up with the Strokes packaging doesn't use outer or inner sleeves.

Oh man! I almost destroyed my outer sleeve duee to the fact that I didn’t know how to open it. I cut about two inches on one side when I was all like “this isn’t supposed to be cut” so I tapped it back up! I like the design of it though... it’s like a new abnormal...Spoke about this one in a recent grabs post; I thought the vinyl wraparound was just a thicker but otherwise normal sticker, so would be a pain to re-apply seeing the air bubbles under it already and might pick up crap over time. It had the track list and title on though so didn’t want to remove it. Ended up cutting through it on the side with the record and never taking it off at all. When I realised how it was supposed to be done I felt like an idiot but is what others have gone with and you can’t notice it when it’s in the outer sleeve, just looks normal.
I’m 100% up for creative packaging and think it’s great from a visual perspective but it should be clear where you’re supposed to open or engage with it knowing it’s a collectors item and people won’t want to put too much pressure or pull on areas too much without knowing they’re supposed to give way.
Unless the packaging was sold as a puzzle to open or something similar, which are the exceptions and can be neat.

Just the kinda FOMO push I needed22 left if anyone was on the fence.
Wish they'd let you combine with in stock items and I would've ordered Shit Don't Rhyme No More as well.
For a minute there I thought this was the Ska-Punk band Against All Authority lolOh boy, oh boy, here we go - pre-orders should be available from your usual suspects.

Have you seen them do that before? I haven't. I've been checking it fairly regularly and it seems steadily going down, just slowed down a lot around 100 or so.Down to 16
If they don't increase numbers, that is
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas! This is the vinyl release I’ve been freaking waiting for! 3LP too?!?Oh boy, oh boy, here we go - pre-orders should be available from your usual suspects.

Just got a notification that Sacred Bones posted a few "warehouse finds" of the steel grey Thought Gang album
Looks like there are 16 right now
This is from the announcement email, so I'd be surprised if it originally said anything about 600.Based on reddit comments, it was originally at 600 and changed to 1000 or something to that effect. Maybe it was less. I can't remember the numbers or if someone was claiming that it originally listed a pressing number which was changed and/or removed. I got to it after that, so someone else might be able to comment, but I definitely haven't seen the numbers shift myself. Im general, random sites do that, though. Mostly, I don't want to be liable for someone's FOMO, only to watch the numbers shoot back up. It's just my disclaimer.
From what I had seen the pre-order goes up tomorrow but they don't come out until August. No idea if that was just speculation but that's what I had seenSo... I just got the press release for Fantastic Damage and it sounds like a physical might not be dropping Friday and it's just the digital today that he was referring to. The vinyl is coming "later this year," and it sounds like a non-VMP ISWYD repress, as well.
"Iconic rapper and producer El-P, perhaps best known as one half of powerhouse rap duo Run the Jewels, recently announced an extensive reissue campaign of his full solo catalog via Fat Possum Records. Unavailable for nearly a decade, January 2020 marked the digital release of I'll Sleep When You're Dead, on streaming services for the very first time since its initial release in 2007. Today, his critically acclaimed and massively influential 2002 debut solo album, Fantastic Damage, makes its own official streaming debut in conjunction with its 18th anniversary, to be followed by physical editions of both albums later this year."

I haven't seen anything like that from them in the past, so I'd be surprised if they did anything funny with this initial press at least. Probably will get some sort of a repress though.
I know what you mean a bout other numbers appearing or represses happening. I think bumping up the numbers is lame, but I don't worry too much about it. I think they should press as much as they can sell, just better to not fudge numbers like some do.
