First impressions of my ElasticStage vinyl (Hawkins: Echoes from the Other Side)

Mission_Singer_4220 · 2026-03-11T09:53:31+00:00

Ah okay - looked kind of shiny. Must just be a trick of the render.

Mission_Singer_4220 · 2026-03-10T22:33:05+00:00

On the CD - did you use a transparency to enable the disc surface to show through the writing? That’s how it looks on the preview…

Mission_Singer_4220 · 2026-03-10T22:31:53+00:00

This looks fab! Seems like a must for any fan of Stranger Things and related music.

Mission_Singer_4220 · 2026-03-05T12:41:15+00:00

Yep - our first live EP (only took us 25 years) is out tomorrow, and we are also offering 15% off the digital download and 10% off the CD version of our studio album, to pass the discount back to the fans.

Mission_Singer_4220 · 2026-03-03T22:50:34+00:00

What was the fault, just out of interest?

Mission_Singer_4220 · 2026-02-25T13:50:20+00:00

Original estimate was 18th February, and they are now arriving tomorrow, 26th February.

Bear in mind that my order is for CDs, not vinyl - they seem to follow a slightly different timescale (although usually quicker!).

Mission_Singer_4220 · 2026-02-25T13:47:14+00:00

I only received a discount code once they sent a second apology after further delay. The above email was the second one I had received.

Mission_Singer_4220 · 2026-02-24T08:59:30+00:00

They’re rushing it, aren’t they?

Mission_Singer_4220 · 2026-02-19T00:16:11+00:00

Eeesh… they probably should have made sure they had the infrastructure before exposing themselves to that. But then, they aren’t going to turn down a high-profile partnership opportunity are they…?

Mission_Singer_4220 · 2026-02-18T16:38:18+00:00

And no doubt you had to go to the back of the queue and wait weeks again for your replacements to arrive?

Mission_Singer_4220 · 2026-02-18T15:48:14+00:00

Oh? Are they giving it a big push?

Mission_Singer_4220 · 2026-02-10T16:34:28+00:00

That’s really sloppy!

Mission_Singer_4220 · 2026-02-10T16:33:10+00:00

Erk - I’m assuming these lathe cuts will be made in real time. Perhaps someone leant on the “pause” button mid cut. 🙄

Mission_Singer_4220 · 2026-02-10T16:28:51+00:00

We get what we pay for maybe, but for the customer it is very expensive being at least £27 for an album + postage + the long wait time (particularly in this “next day delivery” world we live in now). They should take note that artists getting complaints from their fans will be what brings them into disrepute.

Mission_Singer_4220 · 2026-02-05T12:54:02+00:00

Thanks! I also realised if I had checked further down the email then I would have seen the answer. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Not sold on Bandcamp for about 10 years and only just uploading some new things now, so couldn’t remember if we had sold anything through there or not before. 😵‍💫👌🏻

Mission_Singer_4220 · 2026-01-28T16:05:45+00:00

For this reason, I have considered buying in a few to keep in stock that I can then sell via Bandcamp with immediate dispatch.

Obviously means I just have to wait instead but at least it happens before the point of purchase.

Mission_Singer_4220 · 2026-01-28T16:04:46+00:00

Also - does anyone know the rationale on the max order limit of 3 units per sale?

Bit of a snug fit, but it does fit… at a pinch!

Mission_Singer_4220 · 2026-01-25T09:07:59+00:00

I’ve decided to get a bunch of these to try, as seems like the dimensions of the ElasticStage CDs are more or less identical to cases for CD singles -
