Barberbro Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 My local here in Toronto came through with a clear: $41.99! Sheesh, that's a far cry from the price on the Sigur Ros store... Not sure if I can afford that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuckle Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 My local here in Toronto came through with a clear: $41.99! Sheesh, that's a far cry from the price on the Sigur Ros store... Not sure if I can afford that... What store? I see them on the shelves as Sonic Boom for $44.99. Considering the official store was shelling them out for $33.50, a $9 mark up isn't that bad for the store given it would cost close to $50 to get it shipped. Is there any pattern with what pressings are poor? High numbers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloudsbelow Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 No pattern.... I also doubt there is any correlation between number and it's order in the pressing cue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freki Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Exchanging mine w/ Music Direct. (Everyone w/ issues should at least let their seller know, lest labels think it's ok to release sloppy pressings.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouTwo Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Is there any one consistent issue with this? It seems like everyone's issue was different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In store with tax is will run you close to $50 CAD (indie store had it at $44.99 and someone else mentioned $41.99)... From the Sigur Ros store (https://sigur-ros-store.com/untitled/sig050041-sigur-ros-2x12-vinyl/) it was ~$34 plus $20 in shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You now know why you may see some salty Canadian record collectors make snarky comments towards US collectors complaining about shipping costs...

Canuckle Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Yeah, Americans suck. We love complaining. Especially about shit that doesn't matter. Everyone's problems are relative, so there's no hate coming from me. Just a frustrating part of the hobby for us beady eyed peeps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fondfarewell Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Does someone with a "bad" copy have means to post an audio or video sample of the problem? I'm curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I'll send an e-mail and see what's up. UPDATE: Bullmoose just offered me a refund rather than a replacement. Sticking with my copy. Anyone else bother trying to contact BM about this? I don't really want to just return my copy and not have it at all to just end up buying another one from somewhere which is also messed up.

Okami Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Yeah, Americans suck. We love complaining. Especially about shit that doesn't matter.I am assuming you live in America.

But it's still expensive for a double. If the dollar was $0.85-$0.95 I'd feel a lot better. Im pretty sure it was Play de Record that had this for $41.99.

robes Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 As a Canadian, I'm all for supporting local record stores, but I got mine from amazon.ca for $30 CDN shipped, which is a no-brainer compared to $45-50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsusi Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I received my order from Sigur Rós online store, both – Takk & ( ) – arrived safe and sound. But my copy of ( ) has those issues. I recorded some clips (from the output of my stereo to Mac/Audacity). You can check those here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3kngr4csog9xr89/AACZcHsmWF2p6XKuzMb5ksFna?dl=0 There is a small amount of noise on side A, but very bad on sides C and D. I just wrote them back asking how to proceed. faithnolife 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plarocks Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 It really is too bad. The pressing sounds great aside from the "scraping" sound in the hard right channel on sides C and D. I still have to pick up my copy from my local shop. I guess I will be using the CD inside instead, if I got one of the bad ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robes Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Got mine today, and it sounds great without any big issues. Looks like I got lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
