Yes, probably, but I can't get beyond the silly variants and collector bullshit!

When I first heard of a TWD vinyl release, I was thinking we'd be getting some great Bear McCreary cues but was put off when I saw it was a 'licensed tunes' from the show. Sealed by the fact that even the 'theme' is a re-mix.

Anyone know of plans to release the actual score/cues from the show? :)

They obvious aren't giving up any of their good servers to their side labels then though being a disguise they'll get fixed fast and again probably going to be fine next round

^^This. It's a licensed compilation, not a score. At best it's just a souvenir, at worst a quick cash-grab for fans of the show. You know the drill - make loads of different versions to get the collectors and flippers all excited. There's already been a picture disc, now three or so variants, and no doubt many more pressings to come. It's just a cynical way to release music, in my view.

I normally hate these sorts of soundtracks, but I'm a vinyl nerd and an unashamed Walking Dead fan - even if it is shit music, I still need it!

Fair enough - while I respect people's views it does seem that people on here only seem to dig scores and cues more than said compilation. End of day though a soundtrack is a soundtrack and consists of both elements. It might be decent it might be a bit underwhelming. Lets face it the only too words that crashed that site yesterday was "limited" and "200"

Everyone, firstly we want to offer a sincere thank you everyone for their patronage, support and most of all their patience in this matter for which we also extend the sincerest of apologies. Regardless of the various tests we ran on the site through before going "live" the bottom line is we sorely underestimated the reliability of our server and certainly for that we assume full responsibility.

All of you whom had orders that were successful in coming through should have received confirmation emails by now so please check your emails as well a junk folders. To prevent further chaos from ensuing we matched every Paypal transaction id against every order that came through to make sure everything was accounted for.

However, there were several orders generated in that they came through and customers received a order number but not a confirmation email and the reason for this is that checkout was NOT completed. So for those of you saying that you have an order number but haven't received confirmation you are in the aforementioned category and what will be done is that we will be emailing you a Paypal invoice to finish the checkout as soon as possible and you will get what you ordered. In the event that you do have Paypal payment confirmation but have not received an order number or confirmation please feel free to send a PM to sort that out for you. All that I asked is you that provide your full name, and the Paypal transaction ID.

As far as those who couldn't place an order, trust me we understand your frustration. In regards to the limited zombie green version we do still have copies remaining however, that will not be made available again until all of the current customer issues are resolved we are almost there so please be on the lookout for an announcement regarding that if it still interests you. To reiterate our primary goal right now is to address all issues concerning current or pending orders. Once we apologize for the confusion, frustration, etc. but we are doing everything we can to rectify the situation as fast as possible. Please understand that Spacelab9 is just two guys and we sincerely appreciate the fact that everyone invests their hard earned dollars into a record we are releasing. Heck, we are lifelong collectors ourselves so to reiterate we will be up all night rectifying every issue and addressing every customer personally.

Moving forward we are upgrading to a significantly more resilient server. And until all the current issues are resolved the remaining green vinyl copies have been taken down off the site. Once resolved they shall go back up. Outside of improving the site, personally interacting with customers to confirm order receipt, refunding where applicable and informing fans via social media, message boards, etc. all we can offer is our sincerest apologies. I think everyone can be in agree that how the pre-sale unfolded to was neither ideal in the eyes of customers or us and we vow to make things right for everyone moving forward. When all is said and done, frustration aside when you hold this record in your hands and have it spinning on your turntable we are certain that frustration will turn to satisfaction.

What about inconsistent countries list? I mean, countries list in billing address section is different from shipping address section and when I choose my country (Turkey) from shipping address section, the system says

"Sorry, shipping is unavailable to Turkey. If you require assistance or wish to make alternate arrangements please contact us."

I guess this has nothing to do with server load, right?

Once again we apologize for the inconvenience with the shipping options. We have run several tests with the new server and that shouldn't occur moving forward. As it stands right now the remaining Walking Dead green vinyl copies will be going on sale on 4/15. Subscribe to our mailing list, or Twitter for updates.
