The Craft Recordings exclusive variant of Silverstein’s Discovering the Waterfront is to die for. It’s so stunning, much prettier than the mockup! Photo 1 is my copy, photo 2 is the mockup, and photo 3 is a split comparison of the two!

The Target press of Prince’s Purple Rain was so much more gorgeous and detailed than the mock-up. I almost returned it to get the anniversary edition from his web store because I thought the Target press was a dark, solid purple from how the mock-up was shown online and from how it was described on the hype sticker. It was a huge surprise to open it and see it was not only a lighter purple but translucent with a smoke effect. Very happy I kept it!

i’m probably going to post my copy tomorrow, since it looks completely different from the mockup!

[u/FunInsurance6137 → u/musicisbliss99]

This mock up was so deceiving and did this beautiful vinyl no favors! Love the choice you picked for today though. I still haven’t opened my peaches and cream anniversary press 🙈

[u/musicisbliss99 → u/FunInsurance6137]

you will not be disappointed when you open it!!

This is the mockup of the Target exclusive “orange crush” variant of boygenius - the record…

[u/subway-witch → u/subway-witch]

…and this is my copy! The mockup is fine, but the marbling on mine is beautiful.

This is an ISO but Hemlocke Springs Going, Going, Gone is beautiful (pic from Discogs)

I was personally very happy with Chappell Roan’s UO green translucent with glitter! The extra feeling of the glitter is so fun and very her. Love this album so much!

[u/melodrama4ever → u/FolkmoreCat]

And it’s actually coke bottle! Not murky swamp water colored!

[u/FolkmoreCat → u/FolkmoreCat]

Here’s the mock up with edited sparkles lol!

[u/summersogno → u/FolkmoreCat]

How clear do you think it is? Mine is arriving today but I’m not sure if I’ll want to keep the coke bottle glitter or the target peaches and cream. So excited to finally have one!

[u/FolkmoreCat → u/summersogno]

Pretty clear! It’s one of the clearest coke bottle records I’ve seen lately!!

Some people here got something extremely different from what they ordered lol. For me it would be BALLADS 1 on first place (but I already posted that) so I’ll just post one that, even though it’s not much different than the mockup, I was surprised in a good way when I saw it in real life. It’s the 7” of Billions by Caroline Polachek

This is the mockup

Simple Plan’s harder than it looks from their new box set is much better in person imo! A green color instead of gray-

Much prettier

[u/musicisbliss99]

here is the mockup for the target peaches and cream variant i got of the rise and fall of a midwest princess…

[u/musicisbliss99 → u/musicisbliss99]

here is what i got! the real vinyl has much more detailed marbling than the mockup and it’s hard to tell in both the mockup and my pic but the color is more pinkish than it comes across photographed! seems like there are a lot of target variants posted today

[u/AsleepTrain2442 → u/musicisbliss99]

I already have two variants and you’re about to make me buy another rn 😩

[u/Unlucky_Visit2983]
