Newbury is offering a refund, but started their message with:

"We have been made aware of this pressing imperfection; however, have been notified that this should not affect audio playback." ... ha, right.

I'll be sending mine back.

edit: and, yes, the second copy is THE EXACT SAME flawed press. :'(

yuck! got my bundle today, everything looks great.

Happy to hear yours is OK.

I hope Newbury makes this right.. somehow. (be it refund or magically pulling another out...)

Got my yellow variant, YES!

... wait, FAK: https://imgur.com/a/aFavz

I ordered 2 copies, and am waiting for word from my friend (who lives hours away from me) if his copy is just as terrible.

Really unacceptable, and should never have been shipped.

so he can buy your damaged copy? wtf kind of advice is that lol 

If it was only $20 bucks, I'd have kept it. I returned it because I paid double for a new/mint record that wasn't that.

Simply informing, that is all.

Still pissed I missed BCR. I hope more copies go online, even if it is a stretch.

Funny you say that.

I'm mailing back a copy I purchased for just under $50 on ebay due to USPS damaging it during transit. 

The damage did go all the way down to the record, but 1-2 tracks are damaged at most; still don't want to keep it for the price though, so I'll be returning it.
 
Who knows, check ebay for seller drivervr628. That's who I bought it from, and will be returning it to.

I grew up eating living on raw cookie dough, Nintendo, and this album. Can't wait for this one. Thanks OP!

Late Night Tales - Franz Ferdinand

Was looking at a few others to sit next to my Bonobo record, but saw this one on sale in SLO on a road trip and had to pick it up.

Has anyone in California received theirs?

Looks like mine will arrive tomorrow..

I didn't know what to expect out of the booklet, so I was pretty happy with it. Way better than an insert for the lyrics.

I just feel like for how think / large the booklet was, there was really no substance. *shrugs*

Glad others were happier!

Received #98X (X = number I forgot) of Enema of the State, and the only thing that saddens me is the booklet; its simply the lyrics, and I was hoping for more.

Oh well, still a great pressing. 

When will these end up in the clearance bins? I see too many of them in every store. Will wait

If you want it, buy it; it's for a good cause, at a minimum.

Pretty sad to see someone complain about paying for an album that has done good things for average people.
