Finally received mine, slight seam splits on both, but oh well. Preordered Sept. 2020, received April 2022, really kind of surprised they actually came.

Thank GOD Jack White is giving us a new pressing of Dopesmoker. It sorely needed a new variant and repress.

I didn't realize that, even better!

Missed out on the repress a few years back, happy to see this getting another one.

It’s definitely possible, you try cleaning it?

Yeah, they can get wrekt wanting $23 for 6 records. I emailed just to ask about it and the response was that they're coming from different distributors/locations hence the different parcels. Not sure why that's my problem, but better for my wallet.

They have had some fantastic sales the last month or two. edit: they’re trying to charge me $20+ for shipping and send 4 separate shipments. I get one is a preorder, but there’s no reason the other records couldn’t be shipped together. Weird.

No wonder there is such a backlog in pressing plants.

yeah, that'll be a hard pass for me.

I just started watching them, but seeing the $1,759.99 priced copy of Lateralus really cracked me up.

Agree to disagree there

That was kind of my thought. Some great deals but a ton not available and assumed some would be cancelled. Hope y’all get most of what you ordered.

Haha I remember seeing that

Clearbody are great! Co-sign

Absolutely shameless. $50. Foh 😂

Would love to see a repress of the Forbidden Love EP

oh man😂

I think people have been waiting a long time for these.

It happen to have a phone number on it? I know Drag City did that with Wand’s most recent.

The mailer just had no packing material and I could hear the record sliding/rattling around when I picked it up off my porch. Have no clue it didn’t have any seam splits.

My copy just arrived. One of the worst packaging jobs I’ve seen of late, but fortunately it was completely unscathed. Hope everyone else’s copy arrives safely as well.

Got mine as well, very solid mailer, packed well and still got a little seam split. Oh well I guess, gave it a spin last night and while I have nothing to compare it to, thought it sounded great!

Free is a great price point.

Nearly every record I’ve received of late has had a ton of damage to the mailer and a good amount of the jackets have had splits or creases. Partly at fault is bands/labels/shops skimping out with inconceivably poor packing, but it seems like there is even less care than before with parcels. Maybe I’ve just been on an unlucky streak.

I really wish bands and labels read this thread. The records I’ve received from virtually every record shop outside of Bullmoose have been packed poorly. I’ve never received as many damaged records as I have this past year. Why have they stopped using packing materials? It’s really frustrating.
