Overall this is one of the nicest Vault packages. Simple small box to house the vinyl, nice diecut jackets and vinyl looks pristine. Listened to the first record last night and sounds amazing. This will be one of my favorite Vault packages of the 34 so far. I really like the fact that it won't take up too much space in the collection.

So are they shipping to the US?

I was lucky enough to get the Family and Friends Die Hard. It showed up today and the vinyl is incredibly quiet compared to a couple other pressings  I got. Very happy with it. Wonder if future black pressings will be as good. Anyone else get one or notice a difference?

I got one. I read somewhere (prob on the SH forums) that the colored pressings were sent out randomly, but the black variant is the rarest.

I got the black  7 " pressing with my box. Glad to know it's limited. I thought I ordered it by mistake but the black actually goes quite nice with the silver vinyl.

Plus 1

Got the indie exclusive today. Sounds fantastic!  Really a cult classic of this genre! Easily stands on its own!  Great job to K Starrs  for the remix.  

The Third Man Rolling Record Store is hitting town this weekend. Do they still stock rarities? Is it worth going to? They don't really say one way or the other.

Anyone get a shipping confirmation for the Black on Black version?

Got mine today. Great album. I think it's a good follow up to Like Clockwork. At first listen, I enjoy it more. Download code doesn't seem to work today. Maybe Friday?

Had to get a test press and leather die hard. Riding Easy vinyl prices are reasonable but shipping costs often cause me to wait on purchasing. Could not wait to spend some cash on a new Monolord though!

Thanks for the updates. I'm on the way! 30 is very reasonable too!

What to expect:

At least a 2 hour wait in line (some folks will camp over night in line.)

You should be able to buy everything announced so far all day, they have talked like it will be pressed in large enough quantities that it will last.

Expect things to move very slowly, and run late.

Probably be a surprise or two....that will sell out by the time you get to the front of the line (due to the line campers.)

Make friends while you stand around and have a good time (I'll be the guy with a STL Cardinal hat on.)

Thanks. This all helps. I caught the Third Man Records fest in Michigan a few years ago with the Raconteurs and a bunch of other Third Man bands. Your right about these things being a fun experience. If I see you, I'll say Hi.

I'm going. What can I expect as far as lines? Is it usually fairly well organized? I'm asuming it will be like Record Store Day but much busier. I also remember reading that Third Man would stagger releases in the past at the Third Man store in Nashville. It would suck to have to get in line twice.

Up at TTL at the moment.

Did anyone else in the USA order the bundle from Hot Stuff and still waiting for it to arrive? I checked the tracking number and it doesnt look like mine has moved in almost 3 weeks.

Wondering if Popestar is the Reaktor pressing on tour? Also any opening bands?

Surprise drop!

Thought this was due in October. Still waiting on this. Anyone?

Got mine last week.

Second poster I ever bought from Mondo was the Stout Reservoir Dogs. I have not been able to purchase a Stout since. Kinda bugs me, but I did get the Batman.

I can't speak for the vinyl but bought the CD's on sale a couple months back. Overall happy to have the b sides that have not been available and they sound good but probably just like they did when originally released. The live tracks sound like bootleg quality on both The Real Thing and Angel Dust. To me the studio albums do not sound remastered at all. Hope this helps a little.

Today was my test. I told them to take their VIP and stick it, after too many of these gimmics around a year ago and vowed to never sign up again. I really don't like the idea of having to commit to a membership just to have a chance to buy a record. Sorry.

Do they still play shows with no lights on? Just wondering cause I saw them last year and was a little disappointed that you could not actually see them. I could hear them and they sounded awesome but no stage lighting at all. Maybe it adds to the mystery? I'd be happy with at least a few lava lamps. Seems like with the bigger venues they are playing, they would not be able to play in total dark. I'd be interested know.

Thanks, I've been waiting for this. Ordered.

I ended up placing another order for the Red Die Hard after I did not hear from them assuming the worst so at least I'm getting one, but in communicating with them back and forth they try and make you feel sorry for them as if it's so much out of their control. They really need to make this right. They are going to have a lot of pissed off people here shortly. This situation almost sours me on the whole label. The other thing that really sucks is that I emailed them about this when there were over 20 Silver Die Hards left. They should have shut down the shop when people were noticing a problem, and I'm wondering at what point they figured out there was a problem? because it took them 2 weeks to respond to my emails. Just lame.
