Vince Ives Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I got both Wonderful Glorious and Cautionary Tales from the UK Eels store, they came incredibly fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monklover Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 i was just thinking about that... whether it actually arrives on release day has to do with the post... and i've so often had things arriving days after. sucks watching all the talk and seeing picture of something you're excited for all over the place while you are waiting! hopefully they are shipping out to arrive early or on time. regarding the prints... pretty sure they were only through official store, and pretty sure if when you ordered it said including prints, you are getting them. I noticed that after awhile the (UK) webstore-preorders changed from w/pints to no mention of prints (on the box sets anyway, last I checked the single issues in the store still said including the prints), so if your order says 'including prints' you'll get them, if not I am pretty sure you missed them. thesewoodenideas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rue Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Found the cash for this and it's sold out on UK webstore & Amazon, don't much fancy paying the extra £40 sellers are wanting on eBay. Guess I'll have to sit tight and hope it turns up in stores? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simple_torture Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Got a shipping confirmation from GoMerch today! I know that probably only means they printed the label, but it also sounds like it'll be on time, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simple_torture Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 PS shipped from Tennessee if you're trying to guesstimate arrival time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I forgot I ordered this months ago on the UK Amazon and it just shipped. Ugh, I'm too broke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simple_torture Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Guys, mine just arrived; it's real and it's spectacular. The slipcase is nice and heavy, and each LP inside is individually shrink-wrapped, so they don't seem like they were jostled at all during shipment. The album-cover prints are LP-sized and on nice medium stock, not flimsy glossy paper. Haven't spun any yet as I literally just got home, but can't wait to move through one-by-one! I can't believe this only cost $100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Barkley Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Mine also came as well, and I have to agree, those prints sure are pretty. I'm glad I bit the bullet on this one! Looks like I got my weekend planned now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serotonein Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Huh, my order said it included prints, printed on the invoice in the shipping box too, but they weren't in the box. I didn't really *need* them, but odd that they weren't included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mertzrock Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I got mine yesterday and did get the prints...what a wonderful box it was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monklover Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 i was just thinking about that... whether it actually arrives on release day has to do with the post... and i've so often had things arriving days after. sucks watching all the talk and seeing picture of something you're excited for all over the place while you are waiting! hopefully they are shipping out to arrive early or on time. to quote myself: sucks waiting while others have theirs.... to make it worse, I guess I must of have ordered from Amazon uk back at the beginning, because yesterday I got s ship notice, and today i got a package. shipped from the amazon de store, though ordered from the uk store...good because, I will return this, since I ordered from the Eels UK shop with prints... but... those of you that have gotten prints, were they packaged extra? ie: you did not have to open the box set to pull the prints out? If they are extra, I may go ahead an open my amazon one, and return the web shop version to amazon when it comes. I dont want to open this if i am just sending it back though. but if the prints are extra I wont have to sit and stare at the box... plus, if there are any pressing issues with the one I have now (has anybody come across any problems?), I will have a back up and be able to still send this back if there are issues.

simple_torture Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 those of you that have gotten prints, were they packaged extra? ie: you did not have to open the box set to pull the prints out?

bobbyjames Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Mine arrived yesterday, along with the prints. Good packaging all round considering the price, going to give them all a spin tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simple_torture Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Considering the current vinyl market and the way reissues usually happen, I think the deal from the Eels store was fucking bananas. This was probably the purchase of the year for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bossdj26 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Has anyone else's not moved yet? Mines still sitting in Nashville since last Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simple_torture Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Has anyone else's not moved yet? Mines still sitting in Nashville since last Monday. Mine made a really quick jump from TN to RI without a stop listed in between, which was a little unusual. Could still be in route, or maybe they're being sent out in bunches? Could be worth a phone call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a few actually commenting on sound or quality with substance I agree but figured that would be the spot on SQ if and when more decided to comment...
