Glad to see it's moving though, looking forward to reviews from the peeps that get theirs soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harryq Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Where are the orders shipping out from? PA again, or somewhere else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One references the old-ass pre-Sand(Shit)bag order of NTAE 12" vinyl. The other references a bunch of shit that is out shipping now but I didn't order...and the third is a general "Hey, things are shipping out now!!!" email. What in the fuck is going on here?!?!?! Curious how this plays out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steeltoeagogo Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Got my shipping confirmation for Broken and The Fragile. USPS media mail so I probably won't see an update until after I receive it. Dustinhxc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesecrets0308 Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 AV physical component showed up today. Very neat. Going to sit down and go through it in depth later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Fuck. Sand(Shit)bag. Received the ADDV physical component. All OK. Received the TF:D replacement jacket. Surely packed very well in bubble wrap & cardboard stiffeners & even foam corner bumpers. Still jacked up as if someone had stepped on the box and crushed it. Jacket has gnarly crease all down spine and crimps along edges. Fuck. Sand(Shit)bag. Adam10647 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zdkaiser Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Received my copy of The Fragile today. It arrived in a standard Amazon style mailer. No bubblewrap, no cardboard inserts. I was actually surprised my jacket wasn't dinged up and creased because this package is quite heavy. I would imagine Sandbag is likely going to go through another round of jacket replacements for this release as well. I just got lucky today. The album was somewhat crammed in the mailer, so the spine of my jacket has a minor crease. Likely won't be a problem for those of you who ordered multiple titles at once. The vinyl comes in very nice poly sleeves, so no paper scuffs. It looks to be well pressed, though my copy might be slightly bowled. Hard to say. The cellophane was super tight on this release and paired with the compression from that mailer, it may have bowled the records. It definitely led to a bit of ring wear already. Nice full size lyric book included and some other reading material regarding the making of the album. Y'all will be pleased. Best of luck to all. Hope your copies arrive completely (or mostly) unscathed. It's been an 8 month wait for this reissue. mootloot, Rip, Dustinhxc and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Also received my replacement Deviations sleeve today. It was actually shipped airmail from Belgium which I found strange. Seems like it would have been cheaper (and safer from damage) to just ship them from the states to those of us here. They went in the other direction this time and used a mailer that was way too big for it. While this one has a crease down the middle of the back and isn't perfect, the corners are sharp it is much better than my last one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Well. I guess Sandbag took notice of my bitching & moaning on Twitter that they're sending me a replacement jacket for the damaged replacement jacket. highfives, fish, vinyl addict and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just started listening to The Fragile. Using a Rega RP40 with Elys40 cart. Sounds incredible. It's pressed a tad quieter than some of my other LPs. The LP has almost no surface noise that I can tell, thus far. And I didn't wet wash before playing. Good mix overall, seems well balanced, nice bass but not overpowering. Album is punchy and dynamic. Everything is where it should be in the mix. You will be pleased.

My local shop said he would get it but at this point: 1.no in store date in sight 2. price for NTAE going up to $33 on amazon after he told me his prices would be the same as the NINstore 3. people are finally getting them I'm tempted to just order from NINstore and tell my local shop: sorry, ya snooze ya loose.

DASiano Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Just to make sure I understand correctly, as so many different things have been said on this topic: If I pre-ordered NTAE+reissues when they first went live in/around Dec. 2016 and did NOT cancel/re-order when the switch to Sandbag happened, my order will still be fulfilled but no shipping notice will go out? Regardless of the answer, what exquisite chaos... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
