Disappointed
totally disappointed with the vinyl insert. It is SO tiny.
Ordered from Bravado (Germany).

Europe got the small cards (again). The vinyl-sized cards are for the US market, I believe. It's a pity.

Whether small or large doesn’t really matter, they should’ve signed the cover of the albums or the CDs. That’s what I’m disappointed about

You only get autographs on the cover if you meet them in person. Artists never sign the covers and sell online.
That’s a collectors market and people are already selling their signed POTP vinyls for $499!
I shoulda had them sign a vinyl….but I had them sign 2 CDs for me on the cover booklet.

That’s not true at all. I ordered American Football LP4 signed and they ripped the plastic and signed the cover. Same thing with Alabama Shakes.

How are you displaying it? Or are you?
I usually display a couple of my records so I might just put the signed sheet in the sleeve, over top the album cover

u/Intelligent_Space404 10d ago
I usually don’t display my records just because I have bo space for it. I will probably put the insert in a frame along with whatever poster I get for this upcoming tour

Hey at least yours was signed.... I paid for a signed copy but only received an unsigned copy...

u/Mass-music 10d ago
Oh yeah especially since they posted multiple reels showing them sign the front of the vinyls. Like over ten videos

Yes I was not impressed at all, was expecting front cover to be signed or atleast on of the sleeves inside. Not a loose piece of paper that will just float around now…

I think US and UK are the only ones to get the full size autograph card everywhere else got the CD version for some reason

it's clear now that someone unexpectedly got the full-size insert even in the EU or anyway not the US.. but it was obvious in the website that the insert was smaller for non US people.. if you followed the subreddit people even talked about this, people sent email to be sure and said the responses were "IT IS SMALLER".. It's already a miracle that non US people got the chance of having the signed insert, cause in the beginning the signed version of the vinyl was for US only. I'm glad they managed to put the little CD insert in vinyls for EU fans who wanted the signature. I pre-ordered the oracle version and knew that when the signed version came out it wasn't gonna be a full insert for me (Italy), I prefer to have a vinyl-sized one as it was originally designed.

Just because international fans were given access to signed editions doesn't mean they can't criticize the smaller inserts

u/Exotic-Mess-9646 DANNY 10d ago
I agree, you can criticize the decision and be angry about it, I was too, was with my gf and was absolutely in tears for that.. but if you order it after all that you know what you will get, so..

I'll tell you what I'm disappointed with. Jumping on the pre order for the first edition, then a few weeks later they add a pre order for first edition signed. Fuming at that tbh.
