my copy of bastards came with a solid black copy of side c/d of brawlers. and the side c/d of bastards is a grey/black marble swirl. i checked the other 4 copies that were at my local record shop and they were all exactly the same. disappointed. hoping Anti fixes the issues with Bastards. My copies of Bawlers and Brawlers were fine.

Yeah, I had the same issue. I was able to exchange mine for a correct one though.

Some European releases have been pressed on the wrong color vinyl, brawlers on blue and ballers on red vinyl. Should be vise versa. Also the grey bastards release is on plain grey vinyl instead of marbled grey.

Hey guys! I accidentally bought two copies of "Brawlers" when I intended one of them to be "Bastards". Can anyone do a swap?

My copy came with marbled gray records. I wonder how many were pressed of each style?

I bought the three albums today but I am very disappointed with the pressing. First of they made mistakes with choosing the color for each album. Bawlers comes in red vinyl and Brawlers in blue vinyl (look to the photo of this release, i took this photo and it is actually Bawlers). Basterds came in a plain grey color but not marble and translucent darker grey as in the photo's advertised before the release. Secondly and even more importent... the quality is very poor! Constantly cracking noise on all LP's. First I thought maybe it's a bit of the way Tom is singing but compared to digital sources the cracking is far to much. Who has the same problem? Tomorrow i am going to return my albums. I don't want my money back I just want these beautiful albums like it supposed to be.

The recent Closing Time remaster, which I believe was done by the same team, suffers from all the same issues.

I am getting more and more convinced all this clear vinyl / colour vinyl is never a good thing if you're in it for the sound quality / have a revealing deck. I have played Disc 1 and I get slight clicks in the right channel only. All my other TW remasters are black vinyl and absolutely perfect. It would be disappointing if this is a duff set...

Hmm...that's strange indeed. Good for you. And yours ambush sounds good? Where is yours pressed?

That's weird. They must have randomized the colors. My Brawlers is red, Bawlers is blue, and my Bastards is the marbled dark grey.

It's absolutely not like the official photo, the gray is ugly and is not marbled, I'm a little disappointed.

yes the U.S and Canada got the correct "marble" release. Haven't checked the sound quality on this release yet...

I think the U.S. got the correct pressings. Mine all match the what it was suppose to be. The grey is called opaque grey and looks marbled. We also have a different Cat. # on our spines.

I have the exact same problem as it is my photo that i posted. I am also very disappointed but also because of the soundquality. Its so poor, a lot of cracks in it, well constantly and the cracks are moving in stereo from left to right.
