jaaake Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 My copy of Deja is perfect. No skips, no bent corners. Nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 The end of "Okay I Believe You..." skips on mine too, but only once right at the very end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flicker Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 please, keep giving this band money. Im not even going to talk about my opinion of the band's music, but judging by the stunts they pull on their fans, the stories about their personalities and the shitty quality of product they are apparently putting their name on, this band is not worth anyone's money.

monk0nuggets Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 So, after listening all the way through, I've found my copy to be in perfect condition with absolutely no skips. I also remembered why when this record I didn't listen to anything else for 8 months. Fuck, this record is good. I'm sorry to hear that some of you guys' records are skipping. That sucks bad. Hopefully the label can work something out with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebaroness Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 merchdirect and triple crown both received a letter from me today:Hey folks. My name is Patrick Book, and I'm one of the people you recently sold a "found" copy of the "first press" of Brand New's 'Deja Entendu' 2xLP to (though it appears despite your assertions that this new rash of copies is actually a re-press). I was very happy to receive my copy, but upon playing it it appears the entire second side of the first record is extensively flawed; every song on that side skips at least a dozen times. Listening to it makes me feel like I'm having a fit or something. Needless to say that this shipment of a devestatingly flawed product on top of the ludicrous and blatant lies we consumers were sold about the validity of these "found" copies, I would very much like to exchange this flawed copy for one that is actually worth my $14. I've sent merchdirect a copy of this letter as well, but I would appreciate some feedback on how I can go about doing this. Thanks very much, Patrick Book Does the USA have, like, a 'Trade Practices Act' which prevents misleading and deceptive conduct in trade/commerce? If you do, I dare say Triple Crown's actions are in violation of it (as they would be in violation of ours) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadetapplesauce Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 canceled with triple crown/merchdirect. ordered from revhq. they always throw in cool free shit, anyway. so it'll be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronniethebear Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 They could have easily admitted that it was a repress when they first put them out and they still would have sold them out. SHADY SHADY SHADY. This label will never ever get any of my money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boizee Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 So, I had gotten the Thursday DVD instead of my two copies of Deja Entendu last week, right? I called them and they'd send they would send my order again. Today, guess what I got? Four copies of Deja Entendu. I imagine a bunch of cute little monkeys in overalls running things over there. It's the only thing that can explain all this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattisr1984 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 i really do think everyone should take the time to write triple crown and express their opinion. i know i will be. shoddy business practices deserved to be called out. and perhaps even CC merchdirect customer support on your email so they know how unhappy one of the labels whom they do business with has made their customer base. not to mention, merchdirect's inability to fill orders. if no one says anything, they won't think anything of it.

flicker Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 and after you do that, make sure you order two or three more copies of the next Brand New record they put out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
