What's the best way to mail a winning card to the UK from the US? I don't believe I've ever sent mail overseas.

They've stated that only 5% of the cards would be winners: https://stereolab.co.uk/scratchcard

I got one out of four tries.

I'm 0/6. I assume the odds are 1 in 10 at best.

I bought two and won on one of them, so it's possible.

Now to figure out the safest way to send the winning ticket back to the UK...

Some of the HMV exclusive color vinyl has ended up on thesoundofvinyl.us, but it's never cheap. Got the Amy Winehouse and Mike Oldfield titles from last year via that site.

I'm tempted to cancel my Crow from Amazon and just hang until its repressed and widely available. Don't care about colored wax or etching.

Has a non-RSD pressing been announced yet?

I've also ordered a copy from Amazon which will probably never arrive. Still says "Expected by July 9."

BTW, they just announced four east coast tour dates.

From what I've been seeing, they've been consolidating all their eBay accounts under the Popmarket name.

I got the black vinyl, and the corners of all four outer jackets are bent up. Strangely, these were facing outward and the outer box doesn't have any damage at all. It's as if they were damaged before being placed into the box.

It's not a huge deal to me, as I intend on listening to these a lot and I didn't buy them to flip or as an investment; I'll be curious to see if others are damaged as well. Returning them would be a bigger hassle than it'd be worth.

Funny enough, I ordered the White Zombie box from them back when they were selling "damaged" versions with the white vinyl for next to nothing, and it was less damaged than this.

Yes and then it’ll probably show up sooner than the date anyways. 

There seems to be no end in sight. They're still pushing the release date forward one day every day. Yesterday it said 3/18, today it says 3/19, tomorrow it'll almost certainly say 3/20. I have the feeling it's not shipping anytime soon.

I pre-ordered the Vince Staples album, and each day the release date slips to the next day. Is this normal for Urban Outfitters when they have no idea when a pressing will be ready to ship?

I got the Handsome Boy Modeling School reissue the other day, and it's an outstanding pressing.

Vince Staples - FM!

A bargain compared to the $30 they wanted for black vinyl on the Vince Staples official merch site.

Amazon.de has been pretty reliable. That's where I get the majority of my limited MOVs. They even get low numbered copies if you preorder

I ended up canceling my US Amazon order and placed an order with amazon.de. Got it in just 8 days with standard shipping. It shipped from the UK; in my experience it usually takes way longer than that. Very happy with it.

Got it, thanks!

De La Soul Is Dead is now SOLD OUT! Hope everyone who wanted 1 got 1

Are you sure it's sold out? I just joined the Hip Hop track and as of right now it's still allowing me to add the Essentials track to get 3 Feet High and Rising. I'm new to VMP subs so maybe I'm missing something here.

It's a good pick, but let's be real here...better than DLS?

Don't get me wrong; I like De La, but right now Handsome Boy Modeling School has me a bit more excited. I'd completely forgotten how good it is.

Even better: So...How's Your Girl? by Handsome Boy Modeling School (Automator and Prince Paul circa-1999) is being reissued on the Hip Hop track.

Why can't Morrissey just reissue more of his older material. 

Agreed. His new output in the last 15 years has been lacking in my opinion.

Emperor Tomato Ketchup?

I hope it wasn't Lo Boob Oscillator.

FYI, the copy I just got yesterday from Amazon is on red vinyl.

I've had an Audio Technica AT-LP120 for a few years now. Yesterday I went to pop-up the white target light while dropping the needle, and it flickered on and off, and won't turn on now. I'm assuming it shorted/burnt out.

Has anyone replaced a target light before? I found the little light online for a few dollars, but I've got no clue how to replace it. There is a shop near me that would probably be able to do it, but is it possible to do it myself without much effort?

I have the same turntable and my target light burned out after two years. I'd also like to replace it myself if it's not too difficult. Has anyone here ever done it?

I pre-ordered this on US Amazon at the beginning of January. Who knows if I'll ever see it.

Just buy it. It's worth it...

I did! It's such a great record, I don't care what color I get.

Has anyone gotten a copy from Amazon that wasn't red yet?
