[PO] The Appleseed Cast - Low Level Owl 20th Anniversary
Alan P replied to Shelby's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Mine arrived, and there is a tri-fold insert with band photos. Visually everything is absolutely phenomenal and easily the best record packaging I have received this year. Attention to detail throughout is awesome and I just keep staring at it all. I haven't spun the records yet as I debate the next step--because I did not get the screen-print. I emailed Matt at Steadfast to ask if there are any available and attached to the teal copies in the store. Although right now I am not sure I'd give up the three different colors of wax for the screen-print as I said previously. Definitely frustrated about the lack of screen-print wrap, but overall I think long-term I'll probably forget about it if I can't get one because everything else is so stunning. -

I'll keep you in mind. Going to wait and see what is in my package that is supposed to be delivered today. After that I'll reach out to Steadfast. I actually love Steadfast Records and Matt does a great job--I've always had fantastic experiences with them. Unsure what happened with this situation. -
[PO] The Appleseed Cast - Low Level Owl 20th Anniversary
Alan P replied to Shelby's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
This all seems very fishy. Also expecting my copy today of the band variant. I am 99% sure the band variant pre-order mentioned the screened overlap--I was way more excited about this than the three different colors of vinyl. Had I known the band variant didn't include the screen print, I would have ordered the teal variant from Steadfast. Anyone want to trade an unopened copy of the band variant for an unopened copy of the teal that includes the screen print? I assume the overwrap screen would not be included in the teal copies still in the Steadfast store, reading the email quote from Derek. -
Chvrches - Screen Violence (27th Aug)
Alan P replied to CeCeCe's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
I'm with you here. I LOVE LP1, but I found LP2 and LP3 more and more bland and without the edge they had when they started. I do own the first three on wax, but won't buy the new one until I hear the full album. I do like the cover art and the potential combination of red vinyl. -
PO: My Bloody Valentine - Loveless and Isn't Anything
Alan P replied to SeanPuffy's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Was wondering the same thing. I have attempted to track mine, unsuccessfully. -

I ordered the deluxe today from Juno and it shipped almost immediately! -
PO: The Anniversary – Designing A Nervous Breakdown
Alan P replied to Bax's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
This is one of my favorite albums of all time, and those are some beautiful pressings. I’ve got the OG, so don’t intend to buy, but it is tempting. -
PO Now! Manchester Orchestra - The Million Masks of God
Alan P replied to mrewest's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
I opened it, and they said to send it back anyway, which I did. And they never seemed to question that they had more pink & blue and the rep sounded confident it would be shipped today. I am also expecting my pink deluxe from Amazon today. Second City Prints is definitely a disaster, and still frustrated about the lack of download code. -
PO Now! Manchester Orchestra - The Million Masks of God
Alan P replied to mrewest's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
I have been emailing them back and forth for a week, and they are finally sending me my Deluxe Pink & Blue, after I send them back the standard white. They emailed me a return shipping label, and said they'd send the replacement priority mail. -
PO Now! Manchester Orchestra - The Million Masks of God
Alan P replied to mrewest's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Considering how Second City botched my order and how I have no idea when/if I'll ever get the Deluxe, I found it on Amazon and ordered today. The Pink/White Deluxe is $31.49: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08VYD6SFG?psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&ref_=chk_typ_imgToDp -
PO Now! Manchester Orchestra - The Million Masks of God
Alan P replied to mrewest's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
I finally got my Second City Print delivery, and it is the WRONG variant; I am so frustrated. I ordered the Deluxe Clear Pink Blue, and got the regular Milky White. I put in a support request, but in the mean time, I'm definitely spinning it while I wait for resolution. -
PO Now! Manchester Orchestra - The Million Masks of God
Alan P replied to mrewest's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
I have been listening to the album non-stop, and while enjoying it, I do find it quite the step down from "A Black Mile..." And I am SO frustrated I don't have the record in hand; still no update on my Second City Prints order--and I only ordered the new album! Wishing I had pre-ordered from a different vendor. -
PO Now! Manchester Orchestra - The Million Masks of God
Alan P replied to mrewest's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Really jealous of those of you who have the record in-hand. I was hoping my first listen would be on my turntable, but I caved and streamed it--fantastic! My Second City Prints order sadly has no USPS update since 4/26: Shipment Received, Package Acceptance Pending April 26, 2021 at 5:17 pm FOX VALLEY, IL 60599 -
Seeking to buy a copy of the Fountains of Wayne- "I Want An Alien for Christmas" 7". I've been tracking it on Discogs and eBay for quite sometime, and the only copies currently for sale are overseas for me with high shipping costs. That said, I'd prefer to buy it from someone in the USA, but I am flexible. Would also be willing to make a trade, here is my Discogs profile: https://www.discogs.com/user/drenchedecent

Counting Crows - Butter Miracle, Suite One (5/21)
Alan P replied to beags's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
I'm not gonna lie, the cover art is honestly maybe the worst of all time. I mean, seriously, out of all the covers EVER--and I know, there are some brutal ones--I can't see how anyone could think this is a good idea. Of course with an album title "Butter Miracle", you are off to a pretty rough start. -

Alan P replied to SeanPuffy's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Thank you! I ordered here. I actually thought I’d never be able to grab “Loveless” for a decent price. -
The Juliana Theory - A Dream Away PREORDER - Up now!
Alan P replied to rrd's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
I’m glad someone said it. So bad. If they want to make new acoustic pop songs, so be it, but they are butchering these old tunes. -
Same. I want to buy ALL the No Knife records. Surely someone has to repress them at some point. Box set of all 4 LPs would be perfect.

Pumped for this album! I just watched the YouTube premiere of the new song "Last Man on Earth" and quite honestly, I was mind-blown. I love their music, but the song was so much better than I could have imagined. I actually ranked "My Love is Cool" as my #1 album of the 2010-2019 decade. Definitely going to pre-order, it just a matter of where and how. With an album title of "Blue Weekend" I definitely want a blue variant, but the $42.99 in the US Rough Trade store is silly (don't need a bonus CD). I did find it for $20.97 on BullMoose, but assuming that is standard black: https://www.bullmoose.com/p/34959604/wolf-alice-blue-weekend

The Vinyl Deals Thread (non-Amazon)
Alan P replied to itsgoodtobefree's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
On Target: Agreed they ship terribly, and that the B2G1F is hard to pass up. However, it is important to note that Target has great customer service, and will often give you a full refund, and you don't have to return the item. A couple of examples: I ordered a record from them a few months ago, and the first copy was destroyed in a plastic bag. I sent it back, and got a replacement, which was in a giant box. The second copy was only slightly dinged, but I complained again. This time I didn't have to send it back, they sent a third copy, and I got a full refund. I wound up with two copies of the record for free and sold one on Discogs for 50% off. So I made money off this Target experience. Then one of my kids got two of the same $20 LEGO set for Christmas. One was from me, and one from a grandparent. I bought mine from Target, and went online to return it. To my pleasant surprise, they refunded me my money, and then told me I could keep or "recycle" the set.
