It's strange that there wouldn't be any hum when you take off the ground wire, but if for some reason it works fine, it's completely safe so there's no need to worry. Did you perhaps move the phono close to some power adapter, maybe close to any of the speakers? It might cause some interference. Also, maybe try plugging in the phono to a different wall outlet, or just rotate the power plug (or any other plugs) 180 degrees. I can't really imagine how/why there would be less hum without the ground wire connected.

That's how mine arrived, though they were only a day apart. I was worried for a second that they messed up my order, until I remembered the order page said stuff might ship separately. Great looking package, I just wish it included the pink record instead. Might just double dip down the road, because that yellow isn't really doing it for me.

Nah, from what I gather, the EU version is on KRM EU, the EU Store version was usually sold at select EU festivals.

man I completely forgot how punk punks want their punk to be

yeah, you can't go phono preamp into phono preamp the solution: use "input 1"

I always check dodax and rarewaves first (they both sell on ebay and amazon, but also both have their own sites which often have the best prices). I'm actually just in the middle of placing a batch order on dodax, just paused to see if there's a discount code to find anywhere

Yeah I got mine a few days ago, all the way across the pond. Fat came through making the package customs friendly. Though the mailer did get crushed and both this and direct hit arrived with bent jackets, but for the price I'm not complaining. Nice looking record as well

Don't know how I missed this, but I didn't even know it existed until recently. Looking for the whole set.

Thanks! Just saw there's a Direct Hit repress up as well, together they make it worth the shipping price. Here's to hoping Fat is still customs friendly, I think I haven't ordered from them in at least five years, maybe seven.

does colored stuff still pop up on their EU store?

Up for PO now, release May 8: https://thenakedandfamous.manheadmerch.com/products/recover-vinyl-pre-order Red or black vinyl. I thought the first single was quite terrible, but the other two are very solid.

If anyone finds the boxset available anywhere else (in EU) please post it in here, the official store wants 36€ for shipping.

Saw her for the first time a couple of days back in London, such an incredible show. She already performed let's be friends, packed setlist, not a single mediocre song in there. The VIP package is a total ripoff though.

I bought it from dodax, they shipped it just fine, the real question is who decided to leave it out in the rain. I mean, it was out by the front door (which is under a roof) when I got home, but since it was still soaking wet, it had to have been someplace else for quite some time. Still, first time this has happened in roughly 15 years of buying records, so not a bad statistic, but man, it takes some balls to drop a package like that off thinking " should be fine"

Finally got mine in today. Not exactly how I wanted it. 😕

New variant up on polyvinyl

For EU peeps, Lover 2xLP is 22€ shipped on dodax.de (and at/it/nl). By far the best price I could find.

so good

Man, this album really is stellar. It's been on a daily rotation since release and I don't see that changing anytime soon. It also kind of feels like a pop compilation, so many songs have a "some other current pop artist" feel, The Man gives me a Haim vibe, I Think He Knows is a straight up CRJ song, especially that chorus, London Boy sounds so much like a Tessa Violet track, and there's also a nice mix of previous TS sounds, especially getting a Red vibe with some of the slower ones. I feel like the weakest point is ME!, more specifically that dude's part. I Forgot, The Man and Paper Rings are current faves. I think I might even like this better than CRJs Dedicated, but maybe just because there's just a bit more of it.

Is there one usually? The only recent poly order I did was the Kero Kero Bonito lot and I don't remember any tests either. Anyway, here's the link: https://polyvinylrecords.com/product/usa

New song in about an hour

FINALLY. After nearly two million years, USA will be released. There's a countdown on their website for next week, likely for POs to go up. https://shop.anamanaguchi.com/password
