  1. Still clamoring for that Déjà repress but dang what a wait. If somebody told me that something I did 11 years ago would cause this much buzz and demand, I'd probably try my best to see to it that it is desirably, affordably, and plentifully stocked. (Especially if these people are kind enough to consider themselves fans of such work) Same goes for IKSSE. Anticipation certainly increases the overall enjoyment of most things, but take note of its inevitable expiration date. I am rapidly approaching said date.
  2. Just got my copy today and I cannot express how sexy it came out. . I am beyond happy and honored to own this signed masterpiece. Thanks so much Mike!!
  3. Lol No hard feelings. I'm beginning to think I'll never get my hands on a copy.
  4. What's the condition of Pollyanna? A sealed copy slipped through my fingers on ebay for $32 the other day. Stung like a bastard.
  5. I'm quite new to the world of vinyl and have limited knowledge about the mechanics of turntables in general. Here's the deal. This is my second LP-60 in less than a month and it seems either I'm not having the best of luck in purchasing a reasonably priced, entry-level turntable, or there is a defect with several units of this model. There is a very noticeable dip at a certain point of each revolution. I'm concerned for my records as my needle is dancing over each groove in a wave-like motion, swaying back and forth, yet providing what sounds like accurate pitch, tone, and speed. I'm betting most entry-level purchasers of these units are so enchanted with their new medium that things like this aren't noticed or addressed. I guess I'm partially guilty. I'm not finding tons of complaints about what I am experiencing with these 2 units, but I'm definitely not imagining this. I tried re-adjusting the belt, checking for debris (despite its newness), and every other conceivable adjustment and inspection. This is obviously not the desired performance of this machine, so I guess I'm forced to either chance the early degradation of my vinyl collection, or upgrade to an LP-120. I think I'll go with the latter as It seems to possess no redeeming quality, for me at least. Lesson learned. Has anyone else experienced complications with this model?
  6. I received an email yesterday from SRC letting me know that a replacement was going to be shipped. Danny asked if I could kindly take photos of the damage. I'm currently waiting on a tracking number. So far, so good. There is always the chance things will not go 100% smoothly during any given transaction. I can appreciate that and the amount of work being put in concerning other orders as well. Smaller operations do tend to take more time to execute aspects of our orders, obviously. With that said, I will end on a high-note. Unless something whacky happens during transit and I post again on this topic, you can assume the replacement arrived to my satisfaction. I look forward to future business with Shop Radio Cast, including my pre-order of Blink-182's TOYPAJ re-press.
  7. I remember Randall's Island parking lot was always chock full of hoodrats slinging phony shirts & such. Just be a hoodrat.
  8. Warped Tour 2002 was a great time. Right place, right time.
  9. Same here! I was really excited to see these, but the contents of my package were damaged and I'm having trouble getting in contact with anyone over there. Suddenly, I'm not as excited.
  10. I'm having a bit of a complicated experience with Shop Radio Cast at the moment. I pre-ordered Blink 182's TOYPAJ and also added City & Colour's Bring Me Your Love. I quickly realized after placing my order that I only paid a singular shipping cost which most likely indicated I would have to wait for the latter album to arrive on the release date of my pre-order. I emailed SRC and Danny immediately shot me an email back offering to split the orders for $4.99 shipping on BMYL. Again, after I emailed him, this time giving him the green-light on splitting the orders, he was quite prompt in his response. The item was shipped the next day. After some comical geographical maneuvers, (USPS) and a bit of a delivery issue that was cleared up finally, I received my package. Upon opening the parcel, I discovered a sheet of bubble wrap and cardboard, but the jacket seems to have suffered a significant blow which wasn't consistent with the condition of the box it came it. This leads me to believe it was shipped out in this condition. I was excited to give this to my fiance as a gift and she was even willing to look past the dent in the face of the jacket. She excitedly placed the first disc on her turntable and before she could place the needle on the record, she noticed quite a scratch. It looked horrible!! I immediately took out the second to inspect it and realized both discs were actually warped. I sent another email over the weekend explaining the album was damaged, both jacket and records and didn't hear back all day yesterday, so I sent another email last night. Still no response. I've been calling for quite some time today and I'm only getting voicemail. I forgot to mention, that included in my package was a pack of Terminator 2 trading cards from 1991 which I collected as a kid. I noticed this before I even saw the album and immediately got the feeling that this, like many other distros, place a personal, caring touch in their transactions, and interactions with customers. I really want to feel confident enough to do business with them again, especially considering the pre-order still stands. I'm going to give it another day before I send another email, but will continue to telephone him. I sincerely hope I am not just another story of customer neglect. Either way, I'll be sure to update. (I'm even calling once more before posting this, so as not to misrepresent their service based on what may be an isolated incident.) No answer.

  12. Thanks so much, Mike. Hope I didn't come across as rude or impatient. I re-read my post and realized it could be taken the wrong way lol. Sounds like a lot of people knew well enough to order before 10 A.M.!! And here I am thinking I was so clever.
  13. Still haven't received tracking info. I've been burned twice this week between the postal service on a Dine Alone purchase and an error by Victory. I know delayed tracking is supposed to mean special jackets and signatures but 48 hours later and I'm beginning to develop a complex. When should I expect tracking info before drawing my own grim conclusions?
  14. Ordered clear black/smoke and later received an email stating there was a glitch which caused them to oversell their stock. Needless to say, this wasn't exactly what I wanted to hear after I considered myself lucky to grab 2 copies out of the 100 the site claims were pressed. The order was less than victorious.
  15. Nick Torres claims a vinyl pressing of, 'Sounds of Salvation' isn't going to happen due to not having the original artwork or the master tracks. Hmmm... http://modern-vinyl.com/2012/05/13/cassinos-kingprince-now-on-sale/
  16. A friend of mine ordered about the same time as I did, maybe a minute earlier and got his tracking info at 3 A.M. too. Here I am over 24hrs later and haven't received mine. This is is either a great sign or a terrible one. Any idea which? Sorry about your bags Mike!
  17. Ordered mine from Collective Confusion in cream a few minutes before 10 A.M. yesterday morning. Still no tracking email. I certainly hope that's an indication that I will be receiving a special jacket!!
  18. I've been wondering if a repressing of Cassino's Kingprince was ever to be. Came across VC in my searches. Still waiting for it to go on sale, although it doesn't seem like it'll be too much longer.
