Just heard from Josiah at Newbury. They are sending me a replacement, and I don't have to return the damaged copy. Just as it should be. (Thanks, Newbury, if you are reading this.)

I've pinged them twice already by email. Will post something on Twitter as well. I just want a fully playable copy of the album.

I received a Popmarket order today. Quite a surprise.

My Interpol LP arrived today. So disappointing. It was like this out of the sleeve, and the shipping box wasn't damaged in any way. Yes, it affects the sound.

You can bet Newbury will do a colored variant of this double LP (hugely popular band in Boston) and charge $40-45 with shipping.

I'm generally a responsible and sane person. For some reason with records, all that goes out the window.

Big fail.

Thanks for the details!

Well, shit. I was going to see if I could go a WHOLE DAY without buying an album, and this ended that attempt. There's always tomorrow! (Thanks for posting. I have always loved this album. "Larry" is my favorite.)

It's what other subscription services do, but if it works for them, it does. What is a "Gold Level variant"? Have any photos?

Seems like a lost opportunity on TL's part. If I could pay $22.50/month for 3 months, I'd take that over $25 for 1 month, even if I'm saving only $7.50. Shrug. I'm signing up for the monthly as well. Let's see the quality of the first release in the series.

For me, this comes to $47.27 with tax and shipping. The same item (minus the swirly blue wax) at Bullmoose costs me $31.96 with tax and free shipping. Same track listing, same bonus CD. Is the colored vinyl worth another $15.31 to me? Nope. However, I can see how it would be to someone.

Now down to 49 remaining. If you want one, you should buy it now. (Keep in mind that there are surely flippers buying multiple copies under a handful of accounts.)

I grabbed one. Even if all the LPs suck, I'm happy to support an independent business.

If they had released this when that coupon code was still valid, someone in the Boston area would have been fired immediately.

Great find! Good looking out.

My guess is that the "an employee died" or "an employee had a death in the family" excuse was total bullshit. They surely knew they were screwed months ago.

I have also thrown my money at Polyvinyl.

Thanks, OP of the DeepDiscount deal! What I got: Sharon Van Etten, Epic Sharon Van Etten, Tramp Superchunk, I Hate Music Superchunk, Majestic Shredding Superchunk, On the Mouth Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Kicking Against the Pricks Uncle Tupelo, March 16-20 1992 Future Islands, On the Water Pavement, Slanted & Enchanted Drive-By Truckers, Southern Rock Opera Cat Power, You Are Free I paid $78 with shipping. Amazing deal!

Well, I paid a helluva lot more than I would have through Bullmoose, but at least my order should go through on the Gorillaz site. Hope they don't start canceling orders as well.

I placed my order through Bullmoose because I like to support Bullmoose. Received an email from them today that says essentially, "Sorry, your order has been canceled and there are none left on the Gorillaz' website. Sad."

Bought the full bundle without a second thought. I actually have the "Termite Tree" 7" around here somewhere, which I love.

I understand the beauty and grief behind this album, which is why I won't ever be able to listen to it. Just. Too. Much.

I think the $7.50 shipping kills it, especially if it ends up being five LPs I don't want.
