Shipping is high. When they did this earlier in the year it was $8 for most records, a few were $10. From what I saw yesterday, everything was $12.50 shipped per record.

Spot on. I did jam side 1/2. Sounds good. I’d have to pull my OG to see if it sounds any better but at least the sound isn’t garbage.

Got the Dr. Dre today. Shipped Fed Ex so it comes quickly but is in a regular record mailer with no padding. Nice top seam split because they left the records in the sleeve. The sleeve was one of their selling points…..so that’s cool. Asking if they can send a replacement sleeve but not holding my breath. Sleeve is single pocket, for the money and 2 lp it should have been gatefold. The insert picture of Dre is super low quality. Haven’t listened to it yet but am already on the fence moving forward.

Silicone scented vinyl.

Anyone else get the new End record? I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet, but if the music is as awesome as the gatefold, it's going to be a real treat.

The slipmat is sweet. Giving it a shot.

I know what mailers you're speaking of. Those things are the worst.

I like this record and haven't really cared for much of their output since the Blue record. Side 2 has a weird silent (very quiet) transition, but other than that, I find it to be a really enjoyable album. The talk-singing didn't feel as awkward on the 2nd spin fwiw. To your point, it does feel really short.

This record is so damn good. Definitely an album of the year contender for me.

What to do, what to do.......................I think I'm going to grab the Electra 2000 and You'd Prefer..........and call it a day.

Agreed. I found some awesome records at a flea this weekend but most were visually VG so I passed. That said, one record looked great but plays G+. It must have groove damage that I can't see from heat because it's still jacked after cleaning. The other 5 I bought from same collection based on persons name on the jackets were great. Records............but here I am complaining about a Europe record sounding like shit. I need help.

VG shouldn't be garbage if it's graded correctly, but also skirts a fine line of G(+) depending on the grader. Once you get to that grading, visual doesn't cut it any more and it needs to be listened to which is obviously time consuming if you're selling in volume. It's a slippery slope. I try to be ultra conservative, don't have time to play grade, and probably pitch records that sound better than they look at times but that's life.

Mine finally arrived today! I got Vault #5 - Aladdin Theater which I'm pretty excited about. I was hoping for #3 but am more than happy with what I received.

Deathwish variant up.
