Did anybody ever pick up a copy of Living Outside from Spartan?  Curious how it sounds because it's hard for me to spend $20 on a single LP if it doesn't really sound that good.  Maybe I'll just wait for Spartan to run one of their discount codes but I'd hate to miss out on this variant...so cool.

I got it and it sounds good to me. Only spun it once, I'm actually looking to sell mine, I have this (odd) goal to only own records without profanity, and forgot this one has a few zingers. Let me know if you're interested. 

So the non-VIP option is not up for order yet? Or am I missing something?

Grabbing this for sure!

Mine finally showed. The red/orange looks great, but the other one looks like petrified vomit. Ambitious mockup for sure, but I don't think I've ever had an album look so different from the mockup. Not a huge deal but kinda lame. 

Did you guys get a shipping notice for this? I haven't heard a thing. Their website won't work and they haven't responded to any emails. Wondering where my copy might be.

These should be shipping soon, no?

I think it said June 10th?

Nice. I saw them on that same tour with Hey Mercedes. Jon was an amazing artist and seemed like a great man as well. 

Sounds.... Straightforward. And dare I say brighter? I like it. 

Are they refunding your shipping? If not, they'll refund the purchase price, but you get to pay two way shipping to essentially check the condition of the jacket for them? Think about that.

I would really try to find out who made these.

yeah I know. Super lame. For all I know they tried to dump a blemished copy on me. 

Hey all, I got an RSD edition from a shop online and received a copy with a big blemish on the jacket. The shipping box was undamaged so it seems this happened before it was shipped to me. I know it's silly, but I'm a little OCD with stuff like that and I know it will bug me. The shop will refund me if I ship it back, but I thought I'd check if anyone here is interested before I send it back to them. The shrink wrap is still unbroken. Alternatively if anyone knows how to get a spare jacket (if they exist) let me know. Sometimes labels have extras but Ace-Fu is not functioning, so I'm not sure who is officially behind the repress. Thx

Moral dilemma time!

 

So, lets say you have ordered a copy of this record and paid for it to be shipped to a US address but then decided to pay an extra amount for international shipping to receive it in a timely fashion and spin it on your turntable over the ocean.

 

Regardless of the recalculation, the record is still shipped to the initial US address. You receive an apology for the error and a full refund, including money for the record itself (that is, not only for the shipping that was erroneous). The record is technically still in your possession, as it is situated at a relative's place but you won't be able to listen to it for a good while.

 

I kind of know what one would have to do but not quite what one would want to do in this situation...

Always a certain satisfaction that comes with doing the right thing.

Gonna keep an eye on this.

Has anyone seen the Metallica RSD Live CD anywhere ?

GraywhaleSLC.com

Can't seem to check out

If anyone has any leads on the Madonna Piece I would appreciate it. Trying to get it for my dad and I am failing miserably.

GraywhaleSLC.com appears to have some.

A shop I loved when I lived in Utah just went live with leftovers. GraywhaleSLC.com. Just got Blue Screen Life and Ten Stories with ease after refreshing Bullmoose for two hours to no avail.

Can't get anywhere on Bullmoose right now...haha

Dead in the water!

Nice! Trying to decide if I want to line up for this.

Got a shipping notice for my copy of the leftover Kickstarter copies. Super excited for this one!

Exactly. ^ My line had people in at at 3 AM last year. I think Zia would be your best bet in the AZ area as far as odds go. Show up early as possible and you should be fine. First come first serve and one copy per title per person.

Yeah, Zia Chandler is my closest shop.

Try the RSD thread. You'll see how crazy it makes people and change your mind.

I've read the thread! It does seem like something that originally was a neat idea has turned into a bit of a monster. I'd prefer periodic record store exclusives to a single special day for everything.

If you have to choose only one, I'd say the artists and labels. They directly create and produce the music, and without them there wouldn't be a shop anyway. I love browsing record stores and I miss the old days when I lived close to one and went there at least weekly. But I think retailers unfortunately have to figure out how to roll with the changes.

I've done some digging but didn't find a lot of specific help, so hope everyone doesn't mind a new thread. I'm pretty new to collecting and haven't ventured out on RSD yet. I'm about an hour from the closest shop and I'm really only after Blue Screen Life. I'm not in love with the RSD concept, but I'm wondering if it's worth a shot. Any advice, specifically regarding the Phoenix AZ area? What are the odds, when should I show up, etc. I know there are mixed feelings about RSD and I'd rather not debate that here, but instead just get an idea of what to expect and how to approach it if you are trying to get a specific album.

Got it! So stoked.

Yes!!

I don't know if I can wait till June to listen to this whole thing!
