  1. Barnaby Jones (!) - thanks so much for the help. I did try once with discogs and a copy or Seventh Son which the seller had listed as NM, but when I asked him about it he just said that it was as stated, so I pushed him a little further and he said that he 'hadn't actually listened to it, but it looks okay'. And then he got all panicky and said that I probably shouldn't buy it if I'm bothered about condition. So, my interest ended there!! But I'll give discogs another try - that was only one seller. Just feels like it's a minefield out there sometimes.

     

    I usually downgrade my records just a hair so people won't be all up in arms when there's a small crease I failed to mention.  Then, when I start getting the insane emails asking for 20 pictures and the record's provenance, I tell them the same thing, why don't you go look elsewhere.  I'd rather not make a sale then spend a month on emails back and forth and, possibly, out the money.

     

    I guess I could understand for $100 records, but $20, c'mon.

  2. Being a KG&TLW fan it's quite traumatic to wake up here in Europe and find out that the announcement happened over night, so two questions:

    - For those ordering with ATO, were you able to see the autographed booklet listed in your cart?

    - For those ordering with Flightless, did you experience any down time with their website? Right now it's '404 - page not found'.

     

    Thanks. 

     

    Autographed booklet was not in my cart and I ordered minutes after it was posted here.  Flightless seemed fine, never glitchy, so I'm guessing they removed the page because it sold out.

  3. Has anybody on here seen SP on this recent tour with Manson? I'm seeing them tomorrow and am wondering if they are playing well.

     

    Smashing Pumpkins' set was better than when I saw them in '99.  Pretty much greatest hits with minimal new garbage and they even played Thru the Eyes of Ruby.  I expected a fey, pop rock show and it was anything but even with the 'we support the troops', Star Spangled Banner and 'God blesses'.

     

    Manson was a touch disappointing but that probably had more to do more with how much later career stuff they played.  And the five minute costume changes.  And the scripted stage banter.
