  1. F'n B&N. Still waiting on the Zeppelin reissues, and they screwed me on another order.  Grabbed three Doors albums.  They shipped the two I paid for and delayed the third free one.  They cancelled it yesterday due to unavailability.  They wouldn't substitute another album of the same cost for the free one, and wouldn't discount the cost of the third album from my order.  Their solution? 10% off my order....which would equate to $5 as opposed to the $23.74 I was saving.

  2. Just a heads up for anyone who hasn't seen it.  Tom Petty's upcoming album is up for preorder.  Looks like there is a limited variant being sold only through tompetty.com.  180 gram 2LP that includes an extra track.  Music spread out acrossed 3 sides, with side D being etched. Price is extremely steep at $51.98 plus 9 bucks shipping, but judging by his albums since the mid Nineties, it will only get more expensive as time goes on.

     

    Amazon has the 'non-limited' single LP variant for 26 bucks.

  3. Careful with these guys.  They seem to always fail on delivering the ordered product.  Gave them a couple year break after the last ordeal.  Just ordered something from them last week, only to have to email them days after the "expected ship date" passed, for them to tell me tha tthey didn't receive the order notice and they had updated the status of my order.  I go to check it out.... Order cancelled.

  4. 2 coworkers of mine bought all 3 of these during the buy 2 get the 3rd free deal. Both have their orders marked as shipped but when they click on the details it says only I and II shipped. Anyone else seeing this?

     

    Nope. Ordered the morning of May 25th. None of mine have shipped.

  6. I purchased mine through wowhd (thats my international pre order go to, never missed coloured vinyl yet). It still hasnt arrived in New Zealand, picking it will be here any day now. Cross fingers no surface noise (as it is MOV).

     

    Keep the reviews coming on this one, would love to hear how it compares to the RSD version...

     

    You run into surface noise a lot with MOV pressings?  I've got all of the MOV Alice in Chains, two of the Stone Temple Pilots, the Zombie 45, and probably more. I've NEVER had a surface noise issue.

  7. Not sure if it's any different in the US but all of my PF albums are early pressings and sound awesome (save for some very slight noise on Meddle). Paid between £5-10 for each of them and wasn't even "hunting" for them. I've seen loads of them in record fairs that all look at least VG+.

     

    It is not the same in the States (at least in the midwest).  Find me a legit copy of Piper or Saucer in VG+ or better for that price, and with overseas shipping I guarantee I would still be ahead.  Hell, just look at Ebay.  Prices wouldn't go so high on the PF stuff if it was easy to walk into any old record store and find a satisfactory copy of their albums at a reasonable price.

  8. Makes sense to not leave rest out especially IV since Stairway is their flagship song to many people. Found this:

     

    As Led Zeppelin promote the extravagant reissues of their first three albums for an early June release, a lawyer representing deceased Spirit guitarist Randy California is claiming the hard-rock legends stole the intro for their 1971 single "Stairway to Heaven" from Spirit's 1968 song "Taurus." Attorney Francis Alexander Molofiy wants to prevent the release of the Led Zeppelin IV reissue when the time comes, Bloomberg Businessweek reports. "The idea behind this is to make sure that Randy California is given a writing credit on 'Stairway to Heaven,'" Malofiy said. "It's been a long time coming."

     

    Saw that today as well.
