I received an email that the Fruitcakes colored vinyl was going to delay the first shipment 4-6 weeks. Wonder what happened?
I hope these pressings are good. Too many modern vinyl pressings are crap nowadays, and they pop and crackle on the first play. And there is no amount of cleaning that will fix them. Hope these are quality.
Have you received any updates on this or even on the second batch? All I heard was that the issue with the non-color pressing of Living and Dying in 3/4 Time was delaying my first batch order (that one and One Particular Harbour). I have also not received any updates on the second batch yet (supposed to be shipped this week), but many folks have been posting pics of receiving Banana Wind already.
That being said, I've followed up with Mailboat 3+ times over the past 2 weeks and have not received a response yet.
I am really hesitant to pull the trigger on the 3rd batch given the issues, delays, and radio silence on the previous batches. Thoughts? Thanks!
I did get Banana Wind about a week ago. I only ordered Banana Wind and Fruitcakes. I have all the others. As cool as they are I just could not justify have two copies for the coin.
I did order Songs from St Somewhere. When I got that it was missing the inside LP jacket. I emailed Mailboat and heard back the same day. They took care of the issue within 24hrs. I am surprised you are having issues.
With all that being said…..
Does anyone know how to tell if an LP is a 1st pressing?
I haven’t received any of mine, but that’s probably because I ordered all of them. I did receive an email that Fruitcakes was delayed. And the website says 7/12 for the second batch release.
To see what pressing an album is, I recommend using www.discogs.com. It is an online data base and marketplace of any and all kinds of media. There you can research the runout matrix and compare you copy to the pictures posted. Rather than focus on the very first pressing, I got first issue versions. Hard to tell which one was pressed first in a particular issue.

Don't try to describe the ocean if you've never seen it.

Update: And wouldn't you know, I just got a shipment notification for the second batch (Havana, White Sport Coat, Banana Wind) that should arrive Monday!
Still no update/email back on the first batch as of yet. But, at least I know the second batch is already in the mail.
Just ordered the third batch....crossing fingers.

They did a great job with these remasters. I listened to them as soon as they arrived Saturday, in stereo with my room EQ and processing bypassed on my receiver. This mode disables my subwoofer as well.
White Sportcoat sounds particularly fantastic, very well-balanced with a level of detail I’ve never heard on digital versions.
The jacket for Havana is fantastic. I only own four albums on physical media (CD), so getting to read the liner notes was a real treat.
Can’t wait for the first batch to arrive following the misprint delays.
Just received the second batch and so far sound is great. Listened to all of Banana Wind and side 1 of Havana Daydreamin'. Jackets are well done and the colorful vinyl looks great.
Only disappointment thus far is the lack of lyrics for Havana Daydreamin'.
Look forward to receiving the other sets as I ordered all of the new releases.
EDIT: Mailboat records replied via e-mail that Havana Daydreamin' does not include lyrics.
Just got Barometer Soup in the mail! Another great remaster! OMG on Remittance Man! I have even finished the 3rd and 4th side yet. I love the new mix with Fingers vs the sax. Freaking awesome!

Barometer Soup is a double album???
That’s right! Barometer, Banana, and Fruitcakes all are doubles. Can’t beat that for fun!
