Agnostic Front For My Family EP & Murphy’s law
Wednesday we received our long awaited Agnostic Front “For My family” 7″ EP. They looked awesome. They featured 3 new songs from one of New York’s hardcore legends and proved they’re still at the top of their game. However, after we went home to check out this vinyl and the songs, we found a horrible mistake.
The pressing plant we frequently use “guarantees” every project is correct screwed up. The A-Side of the record features “For My Family” and “Dead To Me” which are two awesome songs from their Nuclear Blast record “Warriors” which is in stores November 6th. The B-Side exclusive-the one song exclusive to this EP-“Break The Chains” is not there. It is the song “Dead To Me” for the second time. Obviously, this is a huge mistake if you ask us. A HUGE mistake. We’re scratching our heads on this one as the master went straight from Alan Douches and West West Side to our hands to the pressing plant-and they are so professional they even put a two minute space of nothing so the plant knew where the break was supposed to be. But that doesn’t matter-so we have to make the situation correct.
350 copies made their way out in the first batch of orders through Revelation & our first batch of mailorders. Those customers are welcome to contact orders@bridge9.com and to return their vinyl and get the correct version seeing as “Break The Chains” is a killer song and we understand. When you return the vinyl, let us know and we’ll send you a CD OF YOUR CHOICE to make up for the mistake. If you want to keep your error pressing, you already have your record en route or in your hands so do nothing and enjoy the two songs from “Warriors”. There are a few copies that made their way out to stores like Generation & Newbury but the rest are going to be replaced with the correct vinyl and shipped at the beginning of the week of October 8th. The 2000+ copies will be pulled and destroyed or recycled or turned into a new wall at our office.
This is a thank you to those who ordered, and an explanation or apology to those who have a 10 day delay. We’re still taking orders as they’ll ship out early next week. For those who think they’re getting a rare version somewhere in stores-both “Break The Chains” and “Dead To Me” are about 2:50 of music, so unless you’re putting it on a turntable- it’s going to be impossible to tell if you have a regular copy or a botched copy. So just
Thank you to Agnostic Front & Nuclear Blast as well as Revelation Distribution & our pressing plant for working with us on this project and helping us solve it immediately. It sucks for some to wait a little over a week, and it’s a huge pain in the ass for some people, but November 6th is a long way away so you’ll still get this record in plenty of time to plan out where, when and how you’ll buy “Warriors.”
Thank you-Chris, Karl Matt & Seth at Bridge Nine.
PS-Does anyone know how to recycle 2000+ pieces of vinyl? All suggestions can be emailed to karl@bridge9.com.
