sinatra.45 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Interesting....my copy from Amazon shipped yesterday and will be here tomorrow. Wonder why theres such a difference Bullmoose told me on Tuesday that there were shipping issues with the distributor and that they were supposed to receive them at the end of this week. Then on Wednesday I got an email saying it was shipping. Not sure if it was an error or maybe they got a partial shipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfingelectrode Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Amazon sent me an email earlier in the week with the 'Good news!' that my order had been upgraded to release date delivery. It hasn't shipped yet, so guessing that isn't happening.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if it was official priority shipping but my Replacements box set arrived in two days of being shipped. Really hope this is something that continues with them.

DarcX Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Yeah, I jumped on mine when I first saw the thread, and mine should have arrived this morning, according to Amazon. I'll have to check when I get the chance, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I got mine super early. Tuesday. It's beautiful and sounds amazing. Wonderful package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to check when I get the chance, though. Ordered mine the second they went up. I sent Amazon an email and they said that they just noticed an error and that I wouldn't have it until Tuesday. Pretty confused because, like I said, they sent me an email last week saying that they had upgraded me to having release day delivery?

timsimmons Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Got mine this morning. Really nice box. Haven't played yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarcX Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I can't get to mine until after work tonight. Can't wait to explore its contents tho. This is my first: box set, 3xLP, and jazz album so I'm growing ever impatient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdz68 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 OK so bullmoose order arrived but only received Ben Folds LP....still awaiting this but its worth the wait from what I'm hearing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarcX Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Amazon shipped mine in a really big box with no padding, but the box and prints came out just fine. The outer and inner sleeves have some bend marks that are rather noticeable, and my disc one has a pretty bad seam split, but the records are in perfect condition. Spinning them as asap as possible.

poweredbytrust Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 would like to hear a few words about the pressing quality. According to the data on discogs, this might be a little much music for 3 LPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 It sounds pretty good. Vinyl is flat and quit. Thought the dynamics were pretty good. That was on a more casual listen. Id like to listen more closely in the next day or two. this was on my good setup too. poweredbytrust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarcX Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Yeah, apparently the way they mastered it was optimal for close-quarters. Prolly why it took so long to get pressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poweredbytrust Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 thanks guys! I would also be interested in your thoughts about the pressing as your own listening goes in a bit more detail so far I only have the mp3 version and I'm digging the calm sections quite a lot here.

surfingelectrode Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 My Amazon order still hasn't shipped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arem Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Got mine from Amazon today, haven't had a chance to listen to the whole thing but after reading a bunch of complaints about Side 1 being noisy I played mine and found that it is indeed pretty bad for the first half of that side. Then the noise gradually goes away. Hopefully the rest of the records are defect free. For the price it's still an amazing package, just too bad they didn't stick the landing.

Bummer that there are issues with some of the pressings. Mine does not have any noticeable noise on side one. Fortunately it's as quiet as the rest of the LPs.

timsimmons Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Yeah mine sounds great on all 3LPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arem Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 The running order is switched around on the vinyl, I assume to make the sides fit, so "Isabelle" is the second track and the one most affected by the defect. "Askim" is moved from the 2nd track to the 5th, at the end of Side 2. this has me pretty afraid that my favorite track off of this, "Askim", might be affected. I will wait on further user/listener reports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Sounds like they were kinda tripping over themselves to make sure this was only three records. Strange. I guess the extra plates and disc was too expensive for a $40 record? Finally got my Amazon notice. Tomorrow is my day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarcX Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 All three of my discs definitely sound fine! Also, to be honest, it's really amazing how much of a difference it feels like when you're waiting ~30 mins to flip the side (as opposed to 15-20). On many occasions have I gotten up early to switch the side to note there's still a song (or at least part of a song) left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
