:evil:
KungFu refused to send the stickers with my Conquests.
They placed them over the wrong ones instead
I must have delayed to place the order and only the first ones had been sent out with the wrong ones.
When they realized the mistake they stopped sending them till they got replacement stickers.

They only shipped mislabled ones to the US, by the time they were set to ship internationally they had discovered the problem... I know that I had ordered them ASAP and didn't get them until after everything was fixed. (I don't remember if it was a preorder or not)

I have a full set spare, shoot me an offer. All three have unique b-sides. I will throw in the Best Buy exclusive CD which has all the tracks from the singles on if the offer is reasonable.

I just bought a set of Conquest 7" on ebay and they are, in fact, "double label." I'm new to vinyl collecting so I'm not sure if the "ultra rare" is a joke or not. Did I stumble across an ebay gem by accident? The seller either didn't know, or didn't care if they were special, as I got the set of records and the slipmat for $31.

Any info you can share would be greatly appreciated by this novice!

The originals with the incorrect stickers also had an email sent out and you were able to request the new labels.

I have the original with the incorrect labels, along with the envelope from WB containing the new stickers.

I opened the envelope (for some weird reason, I think it took like 3 months so I forgot what it was), its just a standard #10 biz with window and the WB address printed on it and the labels inside.

I'd be down to trade it for other WS stuff, PM me if you want.

I am working on collecting the Icky Thump era singles currently. Can anyone confirm that all 4 Conquest singles from XL play at 45rpm? I have one XL Conquest (Cash Grab) that plays at 45, was wondering if the rest do as well. Any ideas why the Warner are 33 and the XL are 45?
