Anyone else get shipping notification besdies DeathPeak? I haven't yet, don't want to wait too long and then not get one while others have them floating around.

I got a shipping notification for all 3 items I ordered on Tuesday as well.

i thought it sounded great. Real nice pressing as well, clean and flat. 

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. That def. makes it a little easier if I need to drop a bit more then retail for it.

If anybody notices any of the live Jason Isbell somewhere I would appreciate it! It is the only thing left I was hoping to get right off. I underestimated his fan base I guess because I have not seen any remotely close to retail. Also, anyone that did grab it, how does it sound?

Once you get the emails it usually takes a day or two to actually show up on your account page. I did not get any referrals this month so I cant say for sure but I wouldn't be surprised if things are taking a bit longer then usual with the crediting as well since everything was down for awhile. If you do not notice them after a few days I would contact customer service just to make sure everything is good.

Went ahead and took everyone's advice and did the Monthly $29 sub to secure the record. Weirdly enough, on my account page it still shows that I will be charged $6 on 5/2. I shot them an email already asking what the issue may be and if I need to cancel one or other or get reimbursed for one at least or I'm SOL. Let's see how long it takes them to reply.

 

Honestly...this is such a clusterfuck so far from my POV.

 

 

 

 

It is def. a clusterfuck for sure.. Especially after just doing the Gorillaz release.

They will get you situated and taken care of though I have zero doubt. The one thing I can't complain about whatsoever is there customer service.

Yeah, if you are really wanting the Fiona I would grab the subscription because there are already a good amount of people that seemed to be hyped about it then you have a massive amount of people who signed up for the Gorillaz that are probably giving it one more month or still on a longer plan so I would say this sells out as well it will just take a little longer.

Has anyone heard anything about when the site is supposed to be working again? I am not real active on chasing referrals and following the updates but because of this I probably got screwed on the 1-2 referrals I had a chance at getting. Tidal wave of disappointment splashing me in the face today.

He's not known for being bright.

You are telling me the self proclaimed "Green Tea Papi" is not that bright? They need to go back and do some more research because green tea was supposed to be the brain beverage last I heard, either that or the Papi is buying that bootlegged green tea which would make sense why he is just willy nilly proclaiming random record releases are also bootlegs.

Does anyone know if this is the same as the Japanese boot that sold on the bay back in Jan?

It def. is not. On the release page it shows that it was remastered from the original analog tapes at 45 rpm so this release should be as good or better then the og release.

The mod over at VMP was saying they've capped it cause folk were making $5k of Gorillaz. Come on, who was it?

There was some guy on there forums saying he could buy 2 turn tables and a decade of subscriptions with the money he made. I thought I was doing decent being able to get a couple free record over the last year haha.. I am pretty sure that guy started the thread on reddit among other sites too though so he was the first post everyone saw. That is an insane amount for one person to make from referrals of a record club.

The 50 limit is definitely new.  I guess I still have a ways to go then.  

Yeah, I never noticed that either. I doubt I will ever get that many but I know there are some people who were getting well above that.

The most consistent and problem free way of signing up referrals in my experience has been the email option by far.

Are we sure Tidal is going to be the vinyl me please this month? What is the source?

Yeah, there has been various clues the last few weeks and they all all up to being Tidal for sure at this point.

Anybody on the fence about signing up for only 1 month might want to do it quick because it will probably sell out somewhat quick and you will have to choose at least the 3 month option.

Store opened early. Got Mick and Emanon but some things will probably be gone before the actual time of the opening again.

Has anyone ever ordered from thegrouchandeligh.com? I ordered the WinterFire EP wayyyyyyy back in early December and never got anything. I messaged the customer support on the site twice now, I have messaged both Eligh and The Grouch through email and instagram. The Grouch responded once and said he would look into it and fix it for me but that was 2+ months ago and has not said or replied to a message since. Sucks because I have been a huge fan of both of these guys for a super long time but all respect has been lost and I say fuck both of them at this point. Super shady, I have dealt with endless amounts of artists and they are usually always ready to make things right. Since it has been so long I do not even know if I can even do much with my CreditCard, it was one of the few times I did not use Paypal of course.

I have been waiting god damn decades to finally hear Uncle Fester’s Blues remastered on vinyl!

I thought most of those complaints were because people didn't realize that there's fake surface noise built into the recording?

That is completely it. I wish they would not have done it but it is pretty much only in spots where there is dialogue so the actual songs sound great still. This is hands down my favorite album they have done thus far so I could not recommend it more. I was just listening to it the other day and it bumps quite nicely!

There were some people that said some certain song skipped but I remember playing that track a few times and it played perfect for me. It is tough when you see some complaints because a lot of time it is just someone with a shitty turntable or they did not clean it first like you see on amazon with just about every single vinyl release on there so you def. have to look a bit deeper.

Damn, looks like it is Tidal for sure. I was hoping people would be wrong about that guess. Signed up for 3 months and all 3 albums didn't really interest me much and I am out of albums to swap for at this point. Demon Days is an album I can get into more but Tennis and Fiona Apple just is not happening. I am looking forward to getting the new Mick Jenkins album though when they add that to the store.

So I used someone else's link to get the $10 off, which did apply to Demon Days. I also referred someone else (got a confirmation email) but there's no credit in my account. Should I contact them or am I missing something?

It can take a couple days sometimes for the credit to show up. Anytime I got the email I always get the credit but if it has been longer then a few days I would message them to make sure everything is good.

I am not a fan of U2 in the slightest, I even turned down free tickets to see them but I will still give it a chance.

Just mostly a massive disappointment in the overall track listing after seeing the leaked features and production and hoping that was at least partial correct. Go from that to features of mediocrity to me at least in Rihanna and U2 haha. I am not nearly as hyped about the album as most seem to be in the first place though so I am not expecting album of the year or anything like that.

Colour me disappointed too. Is that common for the drink recipes? There's "synergistic branding" ("Hey, common brand x of liquor who we are namechecking for $$$ mixes the best with recipe y") and then there's "buy our 'partners' exclusive ingredients or you're fucked" 

Pretty common I have noticed.  All the recipes I have checked usually always have at least a few ingredients that not only expensive but I will also probably never use them again so I have never made one. It was a cool concept but I am not that serious about my alcohol consumption.

There is a guy on Youtube named "Vinyl Rewind" that does reviews of all the albums and used to also make the drinks as well but I do not know if he still does.

i was looking forward to receiving my demon days vinyl, but fuck me. if a consenting adult wants to pay $150 for my copy, it's yours.

I feel the same way. I usually never flip records but I would happily sell mine for 150 or so if someone was down to buy it or even trade for that value.

So backed up lately but here is a few of the more recent grabs. Got a crazy deal on the Ghostface records for only $20, they are part of the rare mail order exclusive box set. One of them as you can see is completely missing a label, has anyone had that happen before? I have had plenty of wrong labels but never just completely blank like that. the only thing missing from the set is the actual box so if anyone happens to have one they would be willing to let go or knows someone else that might def. let me know!

What's some quality Sleeve City products do y'all recommend? I'm already buying my inner sleeves there, but wanted to take advantage of the discount and combined shipping.

What I buy most consistently is

Ultimate Outer 2.5 (I personally feel 5.0 is way overkill but to each there own)
