Still no shipping on these huh? I only got 5 version of this waiting....

Delayed until July 10

I still like five songs. And I think it is better than Good Nature. I would tell everyone listen to the record a few times through prior to judgement. And no it isn’t another Peripheral Vision  but I am ok with that. 

Hello 

I like the record overall especially compared to Good Nature. I feel the sound is somewhere between Peripheral Vision and Good Nature. I think it will grow on me over time. 

I received a cancellation notice from Merchnow for the  7M3. I called Merchnow and they said they received 11 of the yellow and had 40 orders.

This is a long shot but if anyone purchased more than one copy.  Please consider me if you are looking to sell one of them. 

Sorry what I forgot to say is an extra copy of Happiness.

Got this message during checkout lol - "Checkout System disabled: Merchant's trial period expired."

I notified turntable labs that a site was mirror their site and using active links to there own website. The operation manager said they would take appropriate action. So maybe this is the result. 

If you click on “East Store Village” Link under the Buy Now button the link takes you to Turntable labs website.

Anyone else still waiting on shipping from Plaidroom Records? Placed my order within a minute of stuff going live and still haven't gotten shipping notification. I know they said it would be awhile. Just curious if anyone else had any luck yet. 

Your in good hands!  Bob and Terry at Plaidroom  are the best.  If you are really concerned send them an email and they will get back with you shortly.

That sucks. I did not know that. Hot Topic got some good exclusives. I guess it's good for my bank account though.

I believe he works for Epitaph Records

Flippers with a physical retail space.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they put up more copies of The Crow for like $59 shortly.

I dislike flipping especially by record stores, but $42.00 isn’t really that bad especially with free shipping.  Shuga in Chicago is asking $150.00 for The Crow.

Want to purchase, but white vinyl... I will pass.

Preorder available at show? I have never heard of a preorder only available at the show....

You were really lucky based on my experience with Merchnow. They did the same thing to me on the Dance Gavin Dance Happiness and they refunded my PayPal account for the record, and said they were  sorry for holding on to my preorder money and not having enough to send me one. 

Did anyone order the Coheed web exclusive  3 LP from the  Maniacs store and received there order yet? I emailed them and have received no response.

Thanks

Oh how the mighty have fallen....I just got through this entire album and from a Coheed fan this album, (aside from the album intro and a couple songs) is VERY forgettable. This is somewhere close to the bottom when it comes to there best albums...somehwhere in the realm of the new Thrice album. Just my opinion though. If you enjoy it great but at $40 its an easy pass

I disagree  I don’t believe this is a fall. I look at this album as the beginning to a new narrative. 

Hello

What to buy  Marietta Cassettes and Vinyl 

**As It Were or Summer Death**

Why would a record in a proper sleeve and gatefold, but but not in shrink have a better chance of being NM compared to Mint, because the shrink wrap protect against scratches. So for instance many of the Hendrix reissue are in those poly bags  not sure of the name exactly. Those reissues have a better chance of being NM than a simple shrink wrapped standard gatefold record. I have had quite a few shrink wrapped records that you can feel the record moving back and forth within the sleeve.

It pisses me off that people list anything as Mint. Unless the record is still sealed with zero wear or dents it should be listed at NM or below.

 

Sellers at fault for not grading shit correctly. However, if you're spending over $100 on a hard-to-find record I would always ask the seller to re-inspect and re-grade the item and send photos from all angles.

 

What if the record was never sealed from production, and the seller didn’t remove the record from the sleeve.

yeah, it was pretty bad. obviously a package warping like that cannot be entirely the sender's fault. but the cardboard was flimsy and pliable, and the spine(s) completely unsupported.

 

wanna try the whole oven thing but don't really have two panes of glass handy... so we'll see.

I have heard that between two pieces of plexiglass, and set the record  in the sun. I guess same concept, but I thought the sun would be safer than an oven.

Is the current lead singer the same from the EP?

Somebody buy this. I drove three hours round trip in a horrible storm to get this. Highly recommended. I have no regrets about jumping through hoops for this one. The packaging, pressing, and sound are all tip top
