…even shining a light through it doesn’t change that this is more burgundy than “red galaxy” or red marble…especially given the picture that was shown to us has black swirls and my copy has several spots of white swirling. I understand that if I were to hang this in a window, it would look closer to what is depicted - but I bought it to listen to and visually was hoping it would look closer to the picture while playing.
It sounds great and I love the album and band still - I just have really been left with a bad taste in my mouth from the ten club’s presale / release process after receiving an album late with damaged corners and a crinkled sticker sheet and wish I could’ve spent (less of) my money elsewhere on a version I enjoy the appearance of more. You live and you learn I guess.

Does anyone who owns multiple variants noticing any discernible differences between the versions? I read a few posts that the RSD pressing didnt sound great - can anyone confirm this??

Are the sticker sheets sealed inside the vinyl? I just received my 10C version and there's no sticker sheet. Unless it's inside the actual sealed vinyl, which I haven't opened yet.
Just picked up copy, local independents still no stock. 10days til show...had to buy it

Sweet score. Yeah our local record store didn't receive any Dark Matter black vinyl editions. They did though receive the RSD release. Pretty cool though that the local Sunrise Records carried this black, red & yellow edition. I would of stopped by & picked up a copy, but I had already placed an order with jpc.

The sticker sheets are inside the sleeve with the booklet.
So I got both the red 10c vinyl (you're right, it's purple) and the Boston variant. Both look great. Both sticker sets are the same. However, the 10c version feels heavier...and there's some words etched on the 10c vinyl that's not on the variant.
1. Missoula - Oro & Plata 2. Vegas - Black and SIlver Galaxy 3. Boston - Red & Navy Blue 4. Chicago - Red & Sky Blue 5. LA - Purple & Yellow 6. NY - Orange and Blue 7. Philly - Clear w/Orange, Black & White 8. Seattle - Green & Gold
2 International Variants
1. UK - Red, Yellow, Blac, 2. Italy - White, Red and Blue

Which sounds better?
10c was just delivered, so I haven't had a chance yet. But the Boston version sounds good. Will spin tonight after a couple of glasses of red/purple wine.

Can we see a pic of your Boston? 😳
