Does it feel like $32? Since import shipping is included.

Still no. It's a single LP in a non-gatefold jacket in a fancy Ziploc bag, pressed in presumably unlimited quantity. $20-23 tops?

rec'd my copy today. Surprised by the thinness of the cardboard mailer, but it came without any visible damage so that's good. Haven't opened far enough to check the jacket or vinyl though.

Had the same sense on arrival but it was fine. The anti-static bag was a bit crammed into the box.

In any event, this doesn't feel like $50, despite all the adjectives thrown at it on the website...

Does anybody remember the street date on the grey swirl variant ? Was 10-14 or. 10-21?

10-14.

They really are. I like 'em quite a bit. 

Not cheaper, but their "Ultimate Audiophile" sleeves are really nice too. Paper on both sides, and they feel much more substantial than MoFi sleeves.

What e-mail address is it in Paypal for Cult records? I know i ordered but i can't find the transaction to be able to contact them regarding it...can't find the confirmation in my inbox either..

[email protected]  Don't expect a response.

Super long shot, but who knows. Getting frustrated with my inability to find it.

A total clusterfuck is what Cult Records are. emailed them about 5 times now. first time I got a reply saying they'll be shipping this week and next - that was 5 weeks ago. 

Last time I order from them..

Agreed. Wrote them at least four times asking for an update, with zero response. And given all the multiples they seem to be sending out of something that is apparently limited to 1000, I'm curious what will happen when they start getting to the bottom of the list and don't have enough...

Received today in NYC. Signed. No shipping notification.

Can anyone who has received this perhaps post their order number (or at least the first three digits)? Curious if they're working through in order.

I have not received, at order #632X.

Did anybody who ordered the black and gold striped version from Paper Bag receive their order yet?

I received it on Wednesday or Thursday. NYC.

Came signed and with a flexi (this version is gold lettering on white vinyl), plus a patch.

My print/cards/LP bundle arrived yesterday. The print came unsigned, which kind of adds insult to injury on how overpriced it was (and of course required to get the cards). It's also not silkscreened or of especially high quality. Very disappointing.

Did anyone else order this bundle? Was your print signed?

On a positive note, the tip-on sleeves are gorgeous. Really heavy, nicely printed, with a smooth matte finish on the paper. Haven't seen a sleeve this nice in a while.

In honour of them actually getting around to a second album, my DFA collection.

Cancon edition.

Thrush Hermit - Clayton Park

The Sadies - Tremendous Efforts

Matthew Good Band - everything, but especially Beautiful Midnight

Sloan - Peppermint

What's the email you messaged? I used [email protected].

Bulk of two orders came well packed in LP mailers.

Stray copy of Jay Reatard's Blood Visions came in flimsy self-adhesive cardboard packaging, cover bent and vinyl warped.

Friendly phone customer service rep has a replacement coming to me already via UPS and emailed a prepaid return label. Nicely done, though we'll see if packaging roulette works out this time.

Asked for and received refund for the extra $3 on the 7"s from GP.

whats a toque?

A Canadian term for a "beanie" or "knitted hat" as Americans would call it.

This thread reminds me about the DFA silkscreened mirror I have stashed away. They should make those again.

Maybe it's a lie but my order confirmation for the gray variant says it's 180g:

Thank you for ordering from MerchNOW.

Your order number is XXXXXXXX
