Fucking Great.
Someone please @ me when this goes live.
Fucking Great.
First of all, we would like to offer a sincere and heartfelt R.E.M. apology to you for this customer service failure.
Unfortunately, since we pressed a very small quantity of the marble vinyl, we cannot offer that again due to its limited nature; but we do have plans to make it up to you by sending you something special and limited in its own right...
Per the cancelation notice you received, your initial order has been refunded. If you're interested in picking up the standard black vinyl, this has just been re-stocked at the R.E.M. webstore (but act fast, as quantities are limited). Whatever you decide--ordering the black vinyl or not--you'll be receiving something cool in the mail in the coming weeks, compliments of the band.
Once again, please accept our apologies, and thanks for your understanding.
But act fast!Damn, I hope everyone who wants black can get a copy. They probably won't be able to offer it again due to its limited nature.
Yeah, they only pressed 1,000 but their site still allowed sales so now they’re sending out cancellation notices.What exactly happened with the R.E.M marbled vinyl. I haven't been following it.
Did they massively oversell it?
Hey! I listened to that…..once.I bet we're all getting a copy of the completely unlistenable "exclusive" Bingo Hand Job from RSD two years ago.
And after they started cancelling orders, more became available on their site. I took a gamble and ordered one and it got cancelled then they sent me that email.Yeah, they only pressed 1,000 but their site still allowed sales so now they’re sending out cancellation notices.
R.E.M. coffee mugs for all!First of all, we would like to offer a sincere and heartfelt R.E.M. apology to you for this customer service failure.

Nah, how about that the ornament set that they have for sale in their accessories section, but only it comes to everyone shattered into a million pieces.How bout a Flexi Disc?
"hey don't forget the color vinyl is limited to 1000"Sounds like someone added an extra zero to the inventory
I know you joke but....I would actually really love if it was a coffee mug.R.E.M. coffee mugs for all!
This is most likely what happened…or 1,000 worldwide and they sold 1,000 in each web store. Bands need to stop selling bundles as part of limited pressings if they can’t do some simple math."hey don't forget the color vinyl is limited to 1000"
"no problem boss"
*sets quantity limit to 1000 for color vinyl...and all of the bundles that include the color vinyl*
Also for a band the size of REM doing a limited run of 1k was gonna be a shitshow no matter what. Just some bad planning there.This is most likely what happened…or 1,000 worldwide and they sold 1,000 in each web store.
