psus2h Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 FYI, I spoke to someone at Newbury Comics as a company, they are now officially sold out. There's a chance they may have a few replacement copies lingering at corporate (and they're looking into that for me), but there are NONE left in store. You should try contacting the label who pressed this. Also, I know you're frustrated. But the poor bastard at Newbury didn't pack your records. Someone at the pressing plant did.

sergeantscruffy Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Sweet, just spoke to Harvard Square and they did indeed get another copy and it is reserved for me behind the counter. Score. niblips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See how many more you can scrounge up. Since apparently they have a small allotment of these somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergeantscruffy Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 They told me this morning that they are one per customer, unfortunately. Maybe tomorrow I could check Cambridgeside or Burlington, but no guarantees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aellerton Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 These are scarce! I just got back from the Newbury Comics in Harvard Square. They have probably the 3rd, but maybe the 2nd biggest vinyl selection in the whole chain and they got 2 copies. The guy in front of me grabbed both copies, but very nicely offered to let me have one. I found out while I was ringing up that there "was no way" he would have been able to buy both of them. They had sold both of their copies by 10:02. I wouldn't be surprised if these are sold out company wide by lunch time today. I tried as well in Salem, NH. Got there at 10:05 (opens at 10:00PM) and both the Nirvana and PJ were sold out. While I was chatting with some of the employees about RSD, they must have gotten 4-5 phone calls about it. Apparently, a couple of older guys (he said "older guys" on the phone) were in line at 7:30AM waiting for their copies and bought all of them. They said they might be getting a shipment in later as well, but I bet they are all reserved by now. It was ridiculous. RSD is going to be crazy this year.

sergeantscruffy Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I was told they're not supposed to reserve these, the only reason they're reserving one for me is because it's a replacement copy for my bad one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oojavaguru Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Hmmm...makes me wonder if they released a small allotment today and then are saving the remaining batch for Record Store Day, since they posted this on their FB and mentioned that they'll have other recent releases (e.g. Nirvana) available: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh okay, he said they might get one so if it shows up it'll be gone by the time I can get there tomorrow.

openupyourskull Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Stopped by the closest NC after class today to try to find one of the Strokes LPs for myself, and all they had left was a couple Nirvanas and a Wu-Tang. Wasn't expecting to find any PJ, but oh well. Wish I could've helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danionly Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Ugh. Not looking forward to NC on RSD. Last year it was just a free for all. I'll still keep my eyes out for this though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take that to read that Record Store Day is April 19, and oh, by-the-way, we also have these limited edition exclusive releases coming out on April 8 and April 15 leading up to RSD. As for the big Nirvana mention at the top, that could be for the Pennyroyal Tea single... sergeantscruffy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 My copy from 10C shipped out on 4/11. Tracking shows a delivery date of 4/19 and yet it's showing "processed at post office" somewhere on California. Ugh. Nicely done 10C. I'm on the opposite coast in FLORIDA!!!

jhulud Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 What floors me is I emailed them about the delay in shipping and my concerns with its current location. They gave me a very snarky remark short of calling me impatient and saying shit happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I'm curious as to what efficiencies UPS Innovations provides vs a USpS integrated software solution like many indie labels use (I know many labels like Domino outsource shipping, but look at labels like drag city, or something similar) I know 10c do some higher volume than some smaller labels, but other than volume, it can't be that much different in terms of process.

timsimmons Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 That being said, to write off the whole organization is silly. They provide more than any other fan club I've seen. Just because they don't make everyone 100% happy means they are a failure of an organization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
