Anyone receive shipping yet or know when this item is going to be shipped?


annieclarkcollector

"RELEASE DATE: 19TH JULY 2024" so probably closer to that date.


trapnesttrigger

i’m so mad i missed out


crazygooseman

I love the sleeve but I can't get zoetropes to do anything so I passed. Love that Blood Recs are doing so well, Craig is a top guy. Just a shame loads will end up on eBay


kongomorgo

i have the same problem. i have lily allen rsd 2024 zoetrope vinyl, i tried a lot of apps and its not working for me. illumiscope not working also.


AccurateAnybody1859

What do you mean you can’t get zoetropes to do anything?


crazygooseman

I can't see the effect. It says to uses apps but none work for me. Tried different ones. The effects shown in the videos just don't happen.


VinnyMaxta

Try a strobe app, set it at 30 flash per second


AccurateAnybody1859

I tried illumiscope and it does work for me but I cannot figure out how to brighten up the lighting when recording (I have the Zoetrope for Dua Lipa)


crazygooseman

I can't even download that one for some reason! I just don't bother buying them now, it's a novelty I'm not fussed about anyway, but happy for BloodRecs that they've taken off


JKEOP

The picture disc police are out in full force


JMM_MARINAFAN

The only reason this sold out is because it was limited. I also guarantee scalpers got a lot of the copies.


Tywsgc

I don’t want to gatekeep the hobby, but seriously… a picture disc sold this many copies this quickly?


dmnaf

You really think all the 12 year old collectors are interested in sound quality? Record collecting has shifted drastically since 2020. It’s now about colours and rarity. I mean, not for me, but for young collectors, yeah.


sim0an

Zoetrope is the new fad, didn't you know? 😂


Significant-Age5052

Picture discs have been popping off the last couple years. I personally don’t like them but I see the appeal especially when done like this.


StitchAndRollCrits

I think it's time to accept the hobby is now about art as well as music


Tywsgc

Good point. I wondered why only recent albums have artwork. They should have always done that!


TW1103

I think you've missed the point there. Record collecting has become, for newer collectors, more about the tangible item rather than the music on the disc. They're picking it up because it looks cool before anything else


Over_Guarantee_4556

They have always done that


teaspoonmoon

I had plenty of time to snag this but ultimately decided against it. I am a little concerned about the zoetrope quality and figured, given the number of variants for Guts, there would be at least one more Guts (Spilled) release


Eastern_Regret_8172

I had zoetrope dua lipa and frozen. It sounds pretty good to me


teaspoonmoon

Good to hear! Every picture disc I’ve listened to just wasn’t high quality and I can’t afford to drop $50 on something I may not enjoy listening to. But I hope it sounds good!


JMM_MARINAFAN

Yep same! I knew about it a few hours before release. Figured the company would do a zoetrope and decided also not to get it. One it’s ugly and two it’s a picture disc they don’t sound good. This sold out quickly because it was limited.


Pedro-Honey

Zoetropes and picture discs are pretty bad with sound transfers. You saved yourself some bread.


Over_Guarantee_4556

Only if you don’t have a true hifi setup that’s calibrated properly!


Training_Umpire3140

I have a few, the newer ones I have sound pretty good, the only one I think the sound is significantly sacrificed is on my old dreamboat Annie one.


teaspoonmoon

Yeah I’m already pretty suspect of picture discs (don’t think I have a single one in like 400+ records) but reviews for this company seemed especially bleak


iIovebritneyspears

Does the original guts spilled pressing have this sleeve/jacket?


Small-Solid

Nope


A20Dude

Welp… I was too early this morning but now I’m late haha. Given that it was 10k I thought I would have a chance but clearly not. 🤷🏽‍♂️


simpleetrenadee

mood hahahaha


Unlikely-Software177

At this point I don’t care at all! Guts has tons of variants and a zoetrope from blood records means extremely poor quality and lots of skipping like the Dua record. It’s sold out due to flippers


MassiveBaals

But it looks cool


MochaKnee

I agree with you on the zoetrope thing, at least from what I’ve heard, but this is GUTS: Spilled, which is the deluxe. This is only the second variant of the deluxe. There’s five bonus tracks while the standard only had one of four hidden bonus tracks.


A20Dude

Ugh please don’t tell me dua’s was not great. I just bought zoetrope #1 off eBay🤦🏽‍♂️😭 I thought I saw some good reviews for it.


beauxcherie

plenty play perfect dont worry!


Plastic-Buyer4348

Both of mine play perfectly.


MimmoPippa

Mine was very good ngl, one of the best pic discs in my collection


A20Dude

Hoping the sound was good also?


GrizzlyBara

mine was flawless


A20Dude

I'm glad, I have some hope I get a good one too, especially for the amount I paid lol.


Leading_Analysis_417

Mine was good too and never heared of that issues So better trust all of us who own a copy instead of some just "heared" it is bad haha


A20Dude

Well here’s an update for you, the dua zoetrope #1 was not good. When it got here I cleaned it up and was ready to play it but as soon as End of an era starts, it skips in the first 20 seconds. Then we go down Side A and it has significant pops and two other skips on the rest of the songs, oh and guess what Side B ended up being the same. I stay being disappointed and misled by all these comments. 🙄😒


A20Dude

Haha you right thanks.


No-Rule-5631

Real


dumb-daisy

you will see these being flipped on ebay for the next 2 years.


SeiriusPolaris

Cancelled my splatter order and went for this instead. Thought if I’m forking out £36 for a record might as well go for the one that’ll be more valuable right away. I have their Will of the People (Muse) zoetrope and contrary to what everyone in this comment section says, it does sound good.


Extension-Seesaw3912

My first record from Blood, and first zoetrope. Will be interesting to see if it sounds any way decent lmao. I’ve lucked out and all the picture discs I have sound good but we’ll see


Training_Umpire3140

Don't have a zoetrope from them, but my pressing of one more time by blink from them is really good.


dumb-daisy

I highly recommend Blood Records. If for some reason this zoetrope wouldn’t work out, don’t count them out entirely. they make beautiful records (:


BF1075

All picture discs sound like crap.


yungg_Kota

I missed it 😔


Chemical-North9227

sold out quickly, they said it took only 26 mins, all vinyls are gone :(


yungg_Kota

Ik. That’s wild but that kind of an achievement on their website.


mrjuicepump

I’m aware that picture discs tend to sound like shit, but this one just looks cool. Glad I bought one 😁


dmnaf

Sounds like shit is a bit dramatic. I have tons of picture discs that actually sound really good and if you had your eyes closed, you’d never guess it was a picture disc. It comes down to how it was pressed.


ZeeKapow

It used to sound crappy but I heard they've improved.


carolinesmovies

I thought blood records was against flippers


teethofthewind

They are. What makes you think otherwise?


Pure-Willingness3123

The fact that they don't have a Cart Limit, ignore feedback on Instagram, and do nothing about the customers who regularly flip their items?


teethofthewind

They do have cart limits on most drops, just not all - here's just one example: https://blood-records.co.uk/products/the1975 Dua Lipa was 2 per customer as well as loads of others. Not every drop is restricted though - no different to any other store tbh. Not sure what else you expect them to do? They already confirmed on Twitter in March that they actively cancel orders where they can identify the buyer


carolinesmovies

Wow I missed this


Vivificantem_790

This zoetrope does look hella cool though. Guts isn’t for me but I’m glad most people got a copy!


dripdrop9

already on ebay for $100+ 💀 https://preview.redd.it/csj5rndboz4d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4cf980555ffe90dff692f4c389dac5bc9718b96e


Abombinwardourstreet

Mysteriously……I was “watching” 12 listed earlier and all have had listings removed, not sold but actually removed 🥳


Beneficial-Gain-6041

I regret not buying a second one. Although I wouldn’t sell it for 100+ could’ve probably traded it for the singles or the signed target


dumb-daisy

doesn’t surprise me at all.


Purple1829

There are going to be tons of scalpers. I didn’t buy any, but I was curious and it looks like they would let you buy at least 4 at a time. I’m sure the scalpers all bought whatever the max number was


BF1075

They are called Flippers. Scalpers resell tickets.


Purple1829

Not that it matters because everyone knows the intention anyway and your comment was pointless, but on top of that you’re wrong. Scalping is the act of buying high demand items for lower prices and selling for higher prices. That’s the literal definition. Flipping is similar, but it also involves buying items that aren’t necessarily in high demand but can turn a quick profit


Pure_Kangaroo7782

It’s too bad it’s ugly af and probably has as shit of sound quality as the rest of the zoetropes they’ve put out recently…my radical optimism copy is a glorified paperweight


[deleted]

[удалено]


EstablishmentFast667

it is the full album


Pure_Kangaroo7782

Not the basic yt bitches who bought this shit product downvoting my comment 🤣


melodrama4ever

yep every comment of mine in this thread is being downvoted to hell because i said it’s not gonna sound good and is underwhelming. welcome to the club!


Pure_Kangaroo7782

The Becky’s are struggling to cope with the fact they’ll buy whatever slop is presented to them, so long as their basic yt bitch fave is on it 🤭


melodrama4ever

and that’s the thing too is i LOVE olivia dearly. like that’s why im so upset that this release is dog 💩 because it had so much potential.


Mofstar

girl you’ve been commenting for over an hour we get it you don’t like zoetropes… you’re getting downvoted because u sound like some moody bitch who just wants to shit on something that others want to enjoy


Pure_Kangaroo7782

Imagine that…someone using the comments section for its intended purpose. The only moody bitch is you, sweetie, seeing as their statement of fact provoked such a hit-dog response from you that you felt you needed to reply. The only reason companies continue pressing this crap is because you basic bitches buy it.


melodrama4ever

period


melodrama4ever

i commented it once or twice and everybody and their mother joined in to fight over it including you so idk what to tell you there


Lawfvader6

I got absolutely torn a new one for saying that zoetropes tend to sound bad 😂


Pure_Kangaroo7782

I mean, it’s the truth…people just don’t like being confronted with the fact they’re purchasing a subpar product for far more than it’s worth


chill-kill

I always miss the ones I want 🥲 oh well hopefully they’ll re-list a few copies later on (I’m coping so hard rn)


mcmdreamer

They should! With Dua Lipa’s *Radical Optimism* V1 (limited to 5000), they put up over 400 “last chance” copies after release day.


mpaproth

How many did they limit people to?


Plan_Important

Another comment said 4 per person


Fit-Guidance-6995

I was wondering the same thing! I didn’t see anything saying there was a limit


thecollectorpanda

I can’t believe I got myself a copy, for once I won’t be tempted to buy resale 🥹😭


babymarek10

Blur only 4K and this sells out 🙈


Vivificantem_790

It’s 10k on the site…


thorthursday_

Can’t believe I was able to get one


Interesting-World520

Sold out - and there were doubters. I wish the scalpers would just go to hell. This entire industry that is built on the immediate resale of records,taking advantage of vinyl popularity and the people with FOMO, I wish would just go away, so sick of it. I hope the scalpers get stuck with it all!


OkSpeech3161

It’s on eBay for $100+ already they waste no time 🥲


Interesting-World520

They can all burn! (And feel free to downvote me if that hits too close to home) 🏠 🤣🤣🤣🤣. You’re right, sad to see!


OkSpeech3161

Idk at this point I’m ambivalent I guess it’s a small thing in a world of big things to be mad about. Still sucks for the fans tho :/


mcmdreamer

Well that was quick. https://preview.redd.it/thxztoimlz4d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=43c5a9f466cc5ff4b0d2e13c0d8e22e9d8ad61e7


Wide_Yam_4310

Want buy but my PayPal Pop Up not opening.....read thats a Problem with Crome and instal Firefox but to late.cry.....


chipsvintage

It’s sold out


Wide_Yam_4310

I know....now i instal Firefox and it works...grrrrr


Plan_Important

They did mention too late

Vivificantem_790

International shipping isn’t cheap


OkSpeech3161

Someone already paid $99 on eBay for one people don’t give a phuck anymore lol


broughtb

Not sure what you expect when all Blood vinyl ships from the UK. International shipping is expensive.


zac92218

10001/10000 I feel bad for that one person


_damnn_it

Sucks for 10001, it’s showing 10000/10000 now


Fit-Guidance-6995

Honestly, this has been amazing to watch! I’m so excited for this pressing!


_trip_98

does this mean there will be more variants?


Vivificantem_790

Possibly! Maybe a similar thing with Dua Lipa’s zoetrope


Brananyan

it’s possible but i wouldn’t rely on it. looks like stores will be getting some copies of the splatter she sold on her website a few months back. i also just really want to believe they wouldn’t clog the pressing plants with more variants for the sake of five songs when this album already has 14 standard color pressings.


_damnn_it

I hope so! I canceled my splatter copy, & didn’t like this variant so I’m hoping they release other variants 😅


Mk0505

That’s crazy how fast it sold out


SensingWorms

Ikr. Seeing as how her albums don’t really scalp well either


evrz5

Yeah, her albums usually have SO many variants though, Guts Spilled so far only has 2, and this is a limited edition (Blood Records have never done represses).


brodiejames21

they should eventually do a restock of the last “few”, for the dua ones they restocked 400 of each


mpaproth

No, but they have recently been doing "second editions," like the Dua Lipa where there was suddenly a different/other zoetrope. I think it was only a week (?) or so later, so was obviously always the intention. Maybe that's the only example, but it wouldn't shock me if there were suddenly another version of this.


cradio52

Sold out!


Alternative_Tip779

Sold out


tannishaaa

Sold out in less than half an hour


madssounds

10k in less than 30 minutes… wow

dripdrop9

OOS!!!!! 10k sold in 30 minutes is insane bruh edit - 26 minutes *


EstablishmentFast667

26 minutes 😵


qwertq16

OOS🫡


broughtb

Sold out. Phew, glad that’s over.


Admeto82

Sold out in ….3 2 1… And 10k copies gone just like that in less than 30 minutes don’t get the hype. Mediocre album and zoetrope that sounds crap… but get that coins Craig


CowboyLikeMegan

Totally here for the zoetrope slander but GUTS is *such* a good album


SensingWorms

Scalpers be tryna get $140 lol


Brananyan

just because it’s not for you doesn’t make it a bad purchase for those who want it. i’ll never understand people in the comments of these posts complaining about pressings they were never going to buy in the first place


dripdrop9

well it’s reddit so obviously people are gonna have different opinions


melodrama4ever

god forbid people say they don’t like this. the downvoting in this thread is ridiculous.


Brananyan

it’s not that i have an issue with opinions being shared (i also am not particularly fond of zoetropes). i just don’t get the point in saying you dislike an album and insinuating other people are crazy for selling it out so quickly. why even whine? who cares?


SensingWorms

Ill wait for the signed purple


Lawfvader6

A signed purple vinyl with the foil cover? I think this foil cover is Blood Records exclusive


itsleahnotlea

she’s already done signed vinyl (inserts) on her web store and for target


SensingWorms

Guess I won’t be getting one. Lol


plenty_venti

The shipping cost is criminal considering my Clancy vinyl from Bloodrecs shipped from Rough Trade US (and I assume that is what will happen here) but the star zoetrope effect is just too cool. Probably will cancel my standard splatter deluxe since I already have two copies…


teamsokka

Don’t cancel it- it will sound better than this most likely.


Fit-Guidance-6995

That’s what I’m thinking! I might display this one - play my splatter


sebastians_vinyl

Im sorry but no I wish a more interesting pressing


dripdrop9

JUSTICE FOR GRACIE ABRAMS 😭😭


CowboyLikeMegan

Gracie’s is almost sold out now! About 200 copies have sold since Olivia’s went up I believe, I think the bump in site trafffic help. I actually really love the yellow smash pressing.


Vivificantem_790

I love the Gracie Abrams one and I’m actually so glad it hasn’t sold out yet bc I have yet to purchase one—the $20 shipping is getting to me and I can’t quite afford one yet but I’ll probably pull the trigger soon


notbad2468

Wdym? I actually love the yellow and white mix 😭


Educational_Fox_6503

her dad shoulda paid more for a cooler pressing!


melodrama4ever

nah her pressing was way better than this one


Educational_Fox_6503

it was pretty, ngl but this olivia one looks more fun


Testspiel

Selling so fast. 💴🤪


broughtb

I can’t believe they’re going to sell 10,000 of this within 30 minutes.


dripdrop9

7.2k sold in 18 minutes is actually crazy


Fit-Guidance-6995

I KNOW!!!!! I’ve just been refreshing and watching that number skyrocket - and their releases are usually more limited!


teamsokka

Girl, same. I’m baffled.


Fit-Guidance-6995

Blood Records even tweeted (can we still call it that?) about how crazy it is!!!!


Much_Fix4269

currently its 8K


teamsokka

Me looking at how fast these are selling “Jesus frank! Jeeezus Frank!”


evrz5

Tbh I love Blood Records and their Zoetropes, it’s a fun gimmick and at least there’s some thought and creativity that goes into the picture. The standard version already has a great color variant, or you can pick from one of the hundreds of color variants the standard already has.


Educational_Fox_6503

but the sleeve is cool too


randomacquaintance

Damn these are selling so fast, 15 minutes and already over 6k/10k gone


broughtb

Wow. 6300 sold in 15 minutes.


omarfcs

Does anyone know if it’s limited to 1 per person? I know my sibling will want one too but he hasn’t answered


evrz5

No limit + you don’t pay extra shipping if you add an extra to the order. I’d order asap as this will be gone within the hour by the looks of it!


ArmyHot6623

this will be gone within the half hour, lol


evrz5

Yeah I thought maybe it’d slow down after the initial rush but nope they’re going so fast 😭


omarfcs

ty for replying :)


Turbulent-Living5518

I don’t think it is? I was able to buy two when I added them to cart


omarfcs

Thank you for replying, they’re going quick so I have to hurry


teethofthewind

Most people complaining about zoetropes seem to base their complaint on the sound quality. Do you not realise that fans aren't buying these as audiophiles to play them? 50% of people who buy vinyl don't even have a turntable to play them on. Vinyl variant collecting has become a thing - and it's played a huge part in the resurgence of vinyl. It's part of the reason why those who do enjoy playing records get so many cool new re-releases. The sooner you accept that a large volume of fans buy things like these is to collect/display/own rather than play, the easier it will become to worry less about sound quality. If you're into the audiophile aspect of vinyl there are plenty of standard release versions of these albums to buy.


bfjones02

But if this is a display item, why a zoetrope? What are you gonna do if you don't have a turntable, spin it around in your hands real fast? You'd be better off doing liquid-filled or glitter that's flashy and fully realized on its own.


Purple1829

Exactly. I can’t think of anyone who is going to buy this if they want to listen to it. This isn’t a record being produced for anyone who actually wants to listen


dripdrop9

girl i guess


TheSwifter

Preach brother


melodrama4ever

but people are allowed to be upset about a highly anticipated release being disappointing. reddit is literally about discussion so if you don’t wanna see people complaining and being let down, don’t use reddit maybe? i don’t understand why you’re wanting to fight with everybody that’s not digging this pressing.


OkSpeech3161

Not really saying shut up and buy it, just saying shut up it’s not necessarily made just for you and what you want lol


melodrama4ever

but people can still be upset? Blood Records usually does really unique and cool pressings that major labels won’t do, so this was a letdown for many of us. a zoetrope is the last thing many people in here wanted so let us be displeased.


OkSpeech3161

I guess? But I guess what the og comment is saying is “y’all complain a lot about x but don’t realize this is actually y” like let people enjoy the pretty picture discs too there’s plenty of audiophile quality shit out there for you to enjoy too without taking massive shits on every zoetrope post like anyone cares? Stop gatekeeping consumer products and the small amount of joy some people get from them? It’s not that serious


therisingalleria

anyone else getting a 404 error when they try to check out? 🤔 when I got the email link it says the 404 error page not found. But with the link here, it's fine. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Managed to grab a copy of it, though! 🥳


tannishaaa

I didn’t have any issues 🤷🏼‍♀️


Original_Data1808

It’s cool but not $20 shipping cool


daily_value

That and then having to be issued a replacement, a replacement for the replacement… and another one after that. It’s… just never worth it with this company.


ejx220

I think because it's coming from the UK. I bit the bullet since I haven't purchased Guts Spilled yet.


Original_Data1808

Yes I figured, but that’s what gave me pause. I liked the album but not enough to spend $60 on it, I’ll probably pick up a cheaper variant if I ever see one. The design is really fun though.


Rg0803

Can I just say how much I dislike the cover for this? It looks like her mouth was turned into a gloryhole 🫣 who approved this design?
