It's either your setup or you're Gumbo no.2

Just received shipping confirmation for In Absentia!

I just received this mail half an hour ago:

Lame

Would also make sense since it has never seen a vinyl release!

Did you find further information? What record is it gonna be? I remember reading something like this on SW's FB

Still can’t believe this is real

Received mine today

Mine showed up yesterday!

These Sigur Ros dickmoves are coming and coming...where will this end?

Anybody going to grab one limited live version (if available) for me?

I really hope this isn't going to be the artwork But will order anyways! New APC is always better than no APC!

My Owel arrived a few days ago...still no refund on shipping costs (came in a regular envelope, max $7 shipping...paid $23)

no

Was stupid enough to buy one!

Both for £1000 GBP

Still looking for the blue variant in case someone wants to get rid of theirs

I think I received mine a month ago...

I hate you

Received it today and was positively surprised that it was sent from the UK...so, no additional taxes! YAY!

Classic

Oh man, Magnolia & Edward...

Yeah man, great package! Also liked the O‘brother very much! Looking forward to checking their other stuff. Have to check the other stuff! Thanks again for this great package! Don‘t worry about the taxes...was only something like 8€! Nevermind!

Soooo, I've received my gift today! I received a letter from customs last week that I have a package from Canada waiting for me and I was like "WTF did I order in Canada"...normally, you have to pick it up at customs showing them an invoice so they are able to calculate additional taxes & fees.... Well, I arrived at the customs and they asked me for the invoice...told them I don't have one and don't even know what's inside... And f*cking customs force one to open the package in front of them...Viola! A letter saying that this is my VC SS Gift Package! I wanted to wait until Christmas before opening it and (at least) celebrate it by putting on some music and have a beer with it, but c'est la vie...was happy to at least get mine before the holidays! So, I paid the f*cking taxes and drove home quite excited to see in detail what's inside! Here are pics (took them when I was back home): Very nice letter from my Santa...after the introduction, I had to go back to my post in here to see if he/she was right But yeah, I got the point! HAHA A nice set of stickers from labels I like Plus the mix CD in a self-made paper-case. You see the tracklist of the mix CD on the previous picture! Have to admit that I don't know any of the bands except for Caspian & Braveyoung! Really curious to check out the stuff, especially the local bands! The first record I've received is a Intheclouds Lathe Cut which I didn't own! Fever Basin 7"by Unconditional Arms! Only 35 made! WOW! I was very disappointed by ITC lathe cuts...the quality was really poor when I received my first ones from the 12 Days of Christmas thingy back in 2013 or 2014 (I guess)...but I heard Dan changed the lathe cut machine and my Santa stated that it was one of his best sounding lathes! Looking forward to hearing it as I never heard any music by this band before! What a fantastic start... The first 12" I've found was O'Brother's "The Death of Day" on clear vinyl. I only know the band's name but don't have a clue about the music they make. Just giving it the first spin as I write (first song, Providence)! NICE! Reminds me of Immanu El a little bit! Like it so far! GOOD JOB, SANTA! The final gift in my package was Nevermen's s/t. Looking at my collection list, Santa found out that I have a musical crush on Mike Patton! And seriously, I like almost ALL his stuff...Faith No More is one of my all-time favorite bands! Funny enough that I've wanted to pick up this record for such a long time but never did...I somehow forgot that it exists! And I didn't even give it a listen when released! As I know Mike Patton, I'm prepared for ANYTHING! But since I always wanted to pick this record up and forgot it, it was the pleasant final surprise of my package! Really have to thank my Santa for this package! As this was my first time participating in the VC SS, this package exceeded all my expecations! Not only did my SS pay a shitload of money on shipping (almost 40 CAN to get this to me) but did also some very nice and deliberate picking of records! I was really looking forward to receive NEW MUSIC (at least to my ears)! And this was done perfectly! I only heard a single of the Nevermen record before it was released and didn't know any music by any of the other bands! I'm really looking forward to checking out the records in the next weeks! Thanks @daegor for your effort and over-the-top-package! Couldn't be happier! Wish you a fantastic Christmas with your beloved ones and hope the package you received/will received is only half as nice as the one I got!!!
