Just looked on Townsend and it looks like most photos show translucent galaxy as the yellow one and smog as the grey one. However, one option for translucent galaxy double weight vinyl has the photo of smog. I think the description is wrong since I don't think translucent galaxy comes as double weight vinyl--I think it's actually smog since the photo is the grey record and the description is for double weight vinyl. I just spent the better part of the morning finding a US site that has the smog version since I want the double weight vinyl and saw that the US only seems to carry the translucent vinyl which is NOT double weight. So is Townsend now saying that translucent vinyl is now grey but only single weight? (your link to Townsend doesn't work in the US). |

Just checked their site. Looks like to pictures have been swapped. What was originally advertised as the translucent Galaxy vinyl looks to be the smog vinyl and vice versa. I truely hope they only mixed up the images. Because if the orange/brownish vinyl is the galaxy and the greyish is the smoke vinyl this means that all the indie record stores all over Europe are using the wrong image! Plus i would need to sort my orders i placed for vinyls for myself and lots of friends. What a mess it becomes... |

Just took a re-look at the confirmation email I got in the first place and there was indeed a picture of the yellow-ish vinyl included.  |

Yeah, I just got the same email as well. I'm not changing anything with regards to my orders as I'm sure I'll get both colored vinyls either way.
Yep, what a shit show....signed vinyl/cd go live last week, digital single goes live on Juno last Friday and now this.

I wouldnt be surprised if the images were already correct and they caused confusion for nothing.
Let's be honest, the brownish vinyl doesn't look very galaxy-like at all!
Also the store page of Townsend shows both colours with the same title... 🤷🏼♂️
Before i change anything i wait for Wendy's or Townsend's reply.

Yes but why naming it after something much bigger than the red planet? Hahahaha Anyway, a Norwegian friend found out that the brownish viny is indeed called GALAXY and the grey vinyl is indeed SMOKE/SMOG. So the image changes are correct. |

Ok, this is interesting. Now Townsend is showing the smog version is NOT double weight vinyl. It did say smog was double weight vinyl before, which is why I went out of my way to find a seller in the US for it. Now the only version that says double weight is the black vinyl version. So it seems like the smog and the galaxy versions are both regular weight vinyl. So maybe that's what the "update" was really about.
