  1. Great, my Epitaph bad luck struck again...

    I just got my order in and all three of my Millencolin records are fucked. All three came in warped...penny bridge will at least play fine, but the other two skip towards the end.

    I received multiple older records in the same shipment that were fine including: 2 Pulley albums, Alkaline Trio, and a Ten Foot Pole LP...Only the represses were warped.

    This leads me to believe that it didn't occur in the shipment to me.

    Anybody else encounter any problems? Guess Ill call Kingsroad tomorrow, but by reading their exchange/return policy it doesn't look like it will go smoothly. We'll see...

     

    This has happened here too. Damaged LPs mixed with ones that were fine with no damage to the box they were all shipped in. I've also had LPs that were fine and sealed but had badly bent inner picture sleeves when opened. KRM has been very good about returns/exchanges but it would be nice if they could get their warehouse and website issues down to a minimum.

  2. Delays in pre-ordered vinyl are more common than you think. Only time I've been burned on it is by MTS during the great TOYPAJ fiasco of 2009 (is that when it was?) and that was an isolated incident. Yeah, I've had to wait some incredibly long times on rare occasion but I always eventually received the items. A vast majority of the records sold by various sites are ultimately produced from a small number of pressing plants. Sometimes big labels with a shitload of money to throw at rushing things and meeting "deadlines" clog up the system like all the Beatles represses from last year. I'm sure someone who knows more about the production end of vinyl could elaborate but the point is, log jams occur and delays happen. They are frustrating, I know. And we have all experienced them. But in the vinyl collecting game you learn to be patient or you go elsewhere.

  3. Has anyone been doing this? I didn't see a thread for this already so apologies if there is one that I didn't find. I know this is supposed to be done on Instagram but was curious why nothing has been posted here as well. I personally don't use Instagram and think it would be neat to do a bit of this stuff here unless there is some reason why it hasn't been started yet.

  4. I like to collect Herb Alpert records I find in 99 cent bins. I bought Going Places a while back because it had "Spanish Flea" and "Zorba The Greek" on it and listening to the record made me realize how many Alpert songs have been used in The Simpsons. I don't go out of my way to find his stuff, I just get what I happen across in discount bins.

     

    Also dig my Leon Redbone albums, also from discount bins. Not sure why Tom Waits is so popular when Redbone is just as solid, if not better!

     

    I still have the first record I ever owned which was a Disney Christmas album with "The Chipmunk Song" on it. Parents got it for me when I was probably 4 or 5.

  5. It has. This has a ton of variants actually.

     

    Black w/ white label

    Black w/ red label

    Green w/ white label

    Red w/ white label

    Peach w/ white label

    Clear w/ red label

    Grey w/ red label

     

    Hopefully this pressing has red labels or things will get confusing.

     

     

     

     

    I have a grey copy I'm willing to part with.

     

    Hm... with this many variants, I might have to forgo the whole "completest" idea unless I can get them for a good price. Black and red is good enough for now.
