Frank Lowe – Black Beings

I’ve had the same experience as the previous poster. Preordered the reissue in 2021. Reached out to ESP some time ago, I think when it was a year late or so. They were very apologetic and thanked me for my patience. When I contacted them about 6 months ago I got zero response. Their page currently says mid 2024 but that page has been updated with the same kind of promises at least four times that I can remember-“very sorry for the wait, blah blah blah” does anyone have any insight into this? Does the owner of ESP have some sort of gambling or drug problem? Nothing takes this long unless they didn’t have the master yet but, they own the master! And it’s not even getting a remaster! There really should have been some form of communication to all the people who’ve shelled out their $ for this. It’s all quite shoddy.

Hey all. I pre-ordered this reissue from ESP back in 2021. When it never showed up I followed up a couple times and was told both times there were major issues with pressing delays,(not surprising,/totally normal).

However since 2023 they've just stopped responding to my emails completely. I asked about a potential refund or credit since it seems this repress is in permanent limbo--just radio silence from ESP.

Anyone know if this reissue is still going forward? Or if not, has anyone had contact with ESP re: preorder refunds?

Thanks & cheers.

ESP-Disk has put out pre-orders for a proper vinyl reissue with the original LP tracklist and runtime. Shipping out July 2021: https://franklowe.bandcamp.com/album/black-beings

Hello. This LP is 'quad compatible'... Could anyone tell me what quadraphonic matrix system ESP Disk used for their LPs? I'm guessing it would be QS (regular matrix), I feel it's unlikely it would be SQ.... Thanks.
