Good catalogue but I will never order directly from them or their bandcamp again. One order took 5 months to arrive and all the records were unplayable and had to be de-warped. How a Spanish label like Glossy Mistakes in Covid times took 2 weeks to send 2 pristine records and this Swiss label took 5 months to send 6 badly warped records? I will stick to digital or will buy in my local record store (Who got those records 2 months ago in stock!)...Fuming.

I have seen roughly 12x discs over 3 different releases of theirs (2017-2018) and 10x of those 12x discs have had audible manufacturing defects.

The mastering on these for vinyl is excellent across the board.
However, I have had to return each record multiple times to get non-defective copies. Most had non-fill, or off-centered pressing, or weird surface noise that sticks out above the music. I did receive a good copy of "Looking glass" after 3 returns; I have gone through 4 or 5 of "Lunar Cruise" and they're all a mess.
I'm personally having to avoid buying more of their releases until they get some way to ensure the quality control of their releases, which sucks, because I love their focus.

Congratulations, you win first prize in the shittest-name-for-a-label competition!
Commiserations to 'Mental Groove' who have been knocked off the spot after an excellent streak... Oh. Hangabout...

Extremely impressed by the quality of their releases. My copy of GiTS is a dream come true.

Best reissue label of all time? Maybe not. In the top ten? It's possible, but unlikely.
But is it a damn good fucking reissue label? Of that you can be sure. I don't think you should have any hesitation in making that particular claim.

Too many joyless, literalist misers commenting about this label and its name as if the concept of "irreverence" has never entered into their brains. WRWTFWW deserves a better, less stick-in-the-mud, less reactionary fanbase. I hope the majority already are. I hope the naysayers can scrape together a sense of humour, somehow. Life is better that way.
