  1. The issue is whether or not the person who is mailing it creates the "wall" with the cardboard. If it's only sandwiched in there, it's so easy for the package to get bent practically in half.

    However, if you use a standard mailer (or create an actual BOX), you create 90 degree angles that help resist folding/bending. You would have to work pretty hard to take a 7" mailer with a record in it and fold it in half far enough to snap a record. Not saying it's impossible, but I think we can all agree that it would be 1000 times more difficult for it to happen than it would with only two flimsy cardboard pieces as it's protector.

    I recently refused to pay for an ebay auction until the guy PROMISED me that he'd use a mailer because he insisted that he's "always had such great luck with bubble mailers in the past."

  2. I'm gonna bump this thread to see if anyone contained within would be interested in scooping up copies of Brontide's "San Souci" 2xLP without that pesky international shipping?

    I have contacted Holy Roar about a wholesale order to carry a few of their titles in my distro, and that is among the titles as well as the new Brontide 12" due out later this month.

    I only ask because I want to order a good chunk, but also don't want to go overboard thanks to our amazing currency exchange rate. If you think you might be into it, let me know and I'll make sure to order enough to cover anyone who shows interest. Thanks guys/gals.

  3. If the copy you purchased didn't come with the replacement Earth disc (they packaged them outside of the box set in order to keep it sealed, so there would be 5 discs, inevitably) you should be able to contact Cobraside to see if they have any extra copies. Many copies went out to distributors before anyone caught the error on that disc, and it happened to me. They shipped my local record store the 5th disc free of charge.

  4. So, I was graciously given a two copies of Listener's "Wooden Heart" and I gave a copy a few spins...but couldn't get into it. I would rather these go into someone's collection who loves them than greedily in mine.

    I have a copy on opaque green.

    I'd prefer to trade these than sell them as they were a gift, so check my want list in my sig or shoot me some offers if you're interested.
