The Colemine Records rabbit hole

Yeah, it was pretty disappointing to pull that one out of the sleeve. It’s an amazing album, so I’m hoping Colemine can come up with a solution if it turns out that this is a broad issue.

It’s not on them but the label itself...if it was from them there would be a protective inner sleeve

We already know it’s fairly broad, has anyone here gotten a clean copy of the Colemine Split? And honestly, I know it’s not their fault. I think this is on ATO. Colemine Records are normally not a problem. I mean the only ones I own that aren’t perfect are the ATO Collabs. This one is particularly bad.

@HiFi Guy , any idea what is causing these scratches?:

Well, I received my replacement Black Pumas album, and the new one is even more scratched up. I emailed Colemine for next steps. View attachment 9095

Cause those are (worse but) the same as what mine had...

I received my split this past week and it’s perfect.

Mine is completely fine.
 
Thankfully my Pumas arrived unscathed. I have never been so nervous for an album coming in because I was on vacation and I was reading about all the issues.

I did however have an unfortunate incident when picking up my held mail and the associate pleasantly SLAMMED my three record boxes edge first onto the counter while I watched in horror.

YMMV but for me, ATO is a giant red flag vinyl-wise, due to multiple poor pressings I've purchased of different (non-Colemine) titles. I don't buy vinyl versions of anything ATO puts anymore. I dig a lot of what they put out, I just get it on CD.

In my experience, they’re better than Fat Possum, lol. I don’t know my King Gizzards and Chicano Batmans are all fine.

So Pitchfork finally got around to reviewing Black Pumas:
pitchfork.com

Black Pumas: Black Pumas

The Austin-based duo don’t shy away from signifiers of the past, conjuring the sounds of the late 1960s and early 1970s without succumbing to pure nostalgic pandering.

Overall not bad, even if I don’t like the last paragraph (coincidently, my wife says they are “chill” music, which I don’t get at all, I want to shake my booty to the majority of the album, but I digress....). It lead me to seeking out Quesada’s other band... well this is
different... after the initial shock, I dig it but was wholly unprepared:

I wonder if I Colemine would be willing to open my replacement up before they send it. Worth an ask I guess

I was wondering the same thing. I emailed them last Friday regarding my second scratched Black Pumas, but haven't heard back yet. Once they respond, I may see if that's an option.
