3rd times the charm took 3 servers to get us our links just sitting at our computers watching it go 1 kb at a time. Now 3 accidents with the vinyl so its gonna be smooth sailing from here on out . 3/8 make it great. I was thinking it be cool if they had a 3rd times the charm poster to remember how much work was put into getting this album done and done right. We are all thankful to thes and double k for going above the call to make this a memorable album

They are pretty sweet.I just ordered a pair from amazon $50, free shipping. I'm crossing my fingers. I'm currently using an old pair of $30 sony over the ear cans. I bought a pair a higher end skull candy cans about a year ago and they fell apart (cracked on both sides and one ear would cut out). However, I now have a nice $70 keychain bottle opener out of the deal ( it came with the headphones; the phones in the trash). so I went back to the cheap sonys after that. I wear headphones for about 5-7 hours a day M-F at work.
I too picked up one of the record tour bags from pl70. I was kicking myself before when I didn't scoop one up earlier. nice to seem 'em available again
And to keep in on topic. I love highlighter. OST used to always be in the CD player in my car. Now it's highlighter in there. I'm now saying that it will stay that way. For me, OST will always be one of the greatest albums ever, but for these days...HIGHLIGHTER IS BOSS!

We were really stressed on Tuesday night trying to figure out what to do, and I can't even begin to describe how many hours and tanks of gas both of us have burned through just trying to get this sorted out. Pressing vinyl is always tricky, but this has been truly insane. Just to clarify, the issue here has been the pressing plant, which is a different company from the one who printed the album artwork and sleeves - that company has been great to us, and while most often the printing causes the delay for vinyl releases, this time it's the actual pressing plant.
If you have any questions about your order, please email us directly at orders@pl70.net - I know things have been hectic, but you have our word that we won't stop until all of you get what you paid for - a handmade gatefold double LP of the highest quality possible.

Also, the longer it's delayed, the more orders I keep putting in...which is good all round.
I'm still missing a couple of albums on cd (for the car), so get ready for the e-mail...! -

I can't imagine the stress you've had over the last few months but for us the finished product has been worth it and i know the vinyl, t-shirts, cd's etc etc will also be more than worth any wait. So i can only echo what has already been said on this forum time and time again and that is thank you PUTS for Highlighter, Thanks for the quality products, thanks for the updates and i am sure Thes, Double K and the PL70 crew know you will always have our support. Peace.

If two other people have extras of anything OTHER than 4 and 5, and you need 4 and 5, PM me, and we can mail 'em to each other. It's worth the stamp, y'all.

So...it just gets better...it's different...but as Thes has pointed out...you get older and sh!t happens.
'Talkin' Back To The Streets' really is a classic...'Too Much Birthday' keeps on getting better, and 'Ascension To Nowhere' strikes a chord...for me at least.
On a side note...my copy of 'Lifestyle Marketing' turned up today...and what an LP. How can you not love those beats...

Posts: 577Posted 14 years ago #Regarding shipping: I know a lot of you (who ordered the vinyl/bomb combo) also recieved shipping notices last week. Brendan can probably confirm my guess that this simply means that the labels were printed (and USPS has therefore been notified about the upcoming shipments)?
Even if everything runs smoothly with the new pressing plant I'd assume we're looking at a late November/early December release for the vinyl. (The end of the year is the busy season for most pressing plants, too...) Also Thes and Double are on the road right now bringing the music straight to cats live on stage.
Good things come to those that wait

Im in the UK and this screened last week, when does it screen in the USA? Just out of curiosity? Its nothing serious but just how far behind is the UK?
Peace

Woah, that IS quick. I'm guessing that the US airs things considerably sooner than UK, but still... Way to be updated, Thes... Didn't he pull the same thing on Carried Away with The Office's "Money Beets"?mambo7891 said:
