I just received my copy of Sea Change from Bull Moose. All corners of the gatefold jacket are bent because of Bull Moose's cheap packaging. This is the first time I have ordered from Bull Moose. Anyone have similar issues when ordering from them?

Thanks for the info, Jim!

I emailed Sound Stage yesterday and they responded back, for anyone interested. Here is the response:

"At this time, the record company has the release date listed as "TBA" (to be announced).  Pre-ordering guarantees you a copy of the LP when it is released.  The only difference between the two titles is that the $39.99 version is an import from overseas.

Feel free to reach out if you have further questions."

Import CDs has the Hong Kong/import version for like $25 I think?  It was either them or Deepdiscount.com.

The release date for the Hong Kong/Import version is 9/9 on Import CDs and DeepDiscount. I wonder if this is also when Sound Stage will release it.

They didn't give a date.

Part of me is thinking I should just grab the Bong Load pressing.

They were asked by the label to stop taking orders for the $19.99 version but SoundStage said that they are going to fulfill those orders and that the $19.99 listing would go back up eventually.

Any ideas on when this will be?

Double Post

So I preordered Odelay through Sound Stage for $19.99. Currently it is listed as "discontinued" but SoundStage never refunded my paypal account. Did anyone ever get to the bottom of this? Is it happening and if so, when?

You don't get something every month, just every 3 months.  And you can see what you get before paying...so just look and see whats up and if you like it, subscribe

The packages are well worth the price paid, especially since they're one off variants or pressings. The benefits on top of that (the vault store, early entry eligibility and random contests) make it worth the pricing. If you're not into Jack White/his many projects it could be worthless to you though. 

Thanks for the info!

I have been thinking about subscribing to the Third Man Records Vault for a long time now, but have never pulled the trigger. I am curious to know how satisfied members of this board are with what they get every month. Do you find it worth the price of admission?

I am planning to sign up with VMP. If anyone wants to refer me so that we both get $10, please PM me and I will send you my email.

***Got one! Thanks,everyone!***
