ANNOUNCEMENT FROM ROBERT HAMPSON REGARDING THE PURPLE VINYL EDITION OF 'SONANCY'.
My Dear Soundheads
The hand of chaos waves at us all again.
I come bearing news that truly is agonizing to have to share with you all.
Further to the vinyl issue with the orange edition, we have now discovered a similar issue with the purple edition.
I was personally at the shipment warehouse on Thursday, physically putting together all the parts of the edition. That’s how much I love you all, I’m putting it together with my very own hands and with love.
Myself and the good gent, Stu from Cooking Vinyl noticed that some of the supposed purple galaxy vinyl ( both album and remix EP ) were actually black or with barely a smidge of purple.
We both rejected these as faulty copies because neither of us are happy with the quality of the colour.
It was not acceptable.
Due to its very limited nature, there are too many that we deem as unacceptable to process to you, the fans.
In turn, it does mean that we have to delay this edition until we have a satisfactory product.
Trust me, when I see some of your posts where you are not happy, I do take it to heart. In my normal parlance, it really fucking well fucks me off!
But I’m in the shit with you lot, trust me.
I want what you want.
As with the orange vinyl, this is a pressing problem and we are at this very moment, trying to remedy it.
Now I know that some of you have expressed feelings on the line of “I don’t give a shit, I want the music “ and that warms my soul.
But oh good souls… I really do give a shit!
After such a long time and wait, I so wanted this release to go smoothly, truly I did.
It’s been very frustrating for me to know how long this project has taken to come together.
I am absolutely adamant that I want to sort this pressing issue out and be confident that the copies that leave the warehouse to you are as perfect as they were originally intended.
So please please keep your faith in me, in Loop and indeed the wonderful Reactor / Cooking Vinyl relationship.
I am honestly personally involved in every part of this as much as you are.
I promise you I’m fighting to make this right, so I can be happy in the knowledge that, distribution chaos aside, you get what you really have paid for.
Please be patient, I understand your frustrations, I truly do!
But I’m on the case and doing all I can to get this all sorted so we are all happy
Thanks!
Love
RH X”
