I’m shocked something associated with Ryan Adams has turned out to be scattershot. 

I’m still waiting for my fan club package and rolling papers...

That response you received is bad customer service 101. Wow...

not sure how i fell within that first 450 since i ordered after they went  on sale the second time(cough...probably because i complained...cough), but mine is out for delivery today so it looks like these are starting to get out there.

Did they say anything to that? 

Nope. No reply...

I got the same canned response and told them it’s shitty customer service to have an issue like this and make your customers do the leg work to find out why.

Just got a solid blue copy locally. Anyone know anything about it? There are a ton of variants on Discogs but not this one. 

Picked this one up as well. It's like it doesn't exist online...

thanks. it's the mofi test press of love is hell. 

that's bitchin'!

nice collection.  what's the white sleeve in between the two Love is Hells?

This was one of the records I bought back in the day that I am happy I did because if I tried to pick it up when I went into collecting over drive, I would have paid out the ass for it. Glad other people can get it now. Stellar album from the best band. Hopefully the new pressing is as good or better than the original.

still remember that day you were like "yo, Milk, there's a copy at Broadway Reckless" and I faked sick from work in the middle of the day to grab it.

board bros 4ever...

it'd be cool if we'd ever get that black version of GBMS they said would be out after last RSD.

I got blue raspberry.. So are airheads with mailings a thing now?

polyvinyl has included airheads in their mail orders for years

got my clear yesterday.  it sounds great and the package is top notch.  grape airhead too btw...

Did you order from Merge? If so, you should have definitely got the colored version. I'd contact them.

 

Anyway, mine came and there's something lodged in the vinyl on one side of the discs that makes Long Forgotten Fairytale unplayable. I've contacted Merge to see if they can replace it. :/

Yeah, I wrote them last night.  We'll see what they have to say.

We got ours in the mail.  Preordered first day and didn't get sent the color vinyl preorder

Package looks great though!

The increasingly sordid tale of my dealings with Third Man Records' Vault customer service.

I ordered the last Vault package with the fancy new Dead Weather album.  When I signed up, I noticed that they had an old shipping address for me and I changed it on their site.  A few months passed and I got a notice to check my shipping address again. 

"Hmm, it looks like my address change never took.  I'll change it again."

A few days later, I get a shipping notice.  Yay!  New Dead Weather on the way!

<sad trumpet>

The address change didn't take and the box never showed up at my old office, so I wrote TMR to see what they could do.

"Sure, we can ship you a new package but it'll cost you $5 extra because you didn't contact us to change your address..."

"What's the point of a webform if you can't change your address?" I thought, but it's five bucks and I want my record, so yeah, whatever.

Shipment two arrives to the correct address.  Yay!  Wait a second, this is the retail version of the new Dead Weather with a deck of the playing cards from this Vault package.  Another email to their customer service...

"Does the cover have flames on the eyes?  I think you just need to look inside the sleeve for the 7""

So I sent them a picture of what I received and they said they'd ship me another package!  It should arrive today.

It's currently out for delivery in the wrong zip code.  I think they shipped it to the wrong address that started this whole debacle despite confirming that they would ship it to the correct address. 

To be continued...

Edit: Mine finally moved today

Yay!  So did mine!

have the bundles shipped yet?  my tracking number has been sitting in "pre-shipment" for a week and I've been having really bad luck with getting records I've ordered lately so I'm probably just paranoid, but thought I'd see if anyone else has gotten their bundle.

They do, in fact, have the new 7" on this tour. It's a test press like most other Tiny Engines releases recently. I think the merch lady said there were 81 of them, but don't quote me on the number.

It is out of 81. The cover is completely different; just a black and white photo of a cop car with a little writing about how the covers weren't ready for tour and the lyrics with each song on the back.  Got 79/81 and my buddy got 80/81.  

aw sheeeiitttt

It's probably his god damn son getting cute with the pricing gun.

his nine crates of leftover RSD 2011 items are priced to move though...

Dave's prices are always super dumb

love this one

really love 1984.  Maybe we'll get some new Finger material next...

Thought so. I was supposed to be in he city today. I went yesterday instead. Eduardo wanted me to get him a copy. Shit.

There was definitely a guy opening a copy at the counter when I was in there and his looked black, so I think this shit really may be totally random.  They had a ton of copies though...
