Trent took to the ETS forum asking if people had a preference for a distributor? Because ETS folks were getting shipped empty mailers? Any other news about that, I can't find anything. I'm excited about the continuing NIN reissue campaign, but not at all excited at the prospect of having to deal with shitbag again. The thread is titled great merch experiences or something to that effect. The user teitan is Trent. Anyway, I doubt the switch over will happen until later this year when they are finished with this batch and he is ready to release the 3rd ep/AV/other reissues. I'm just wondering if he will do it in two lots as their are another 2 soundtracks to go up, and things like Quake too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That order was "confirmed lost", so when they sent my replacement order they sent it via DHL/USPS tagteam option "because it's a trackable shipping method". I was a bit blown away that the premium FedEx overnight shipping doesn't have tracking, never bothered to find out if they were bullshitting me but I wouldn't be surprised. That's a complete horseshit answer from them. Every FedEx Express or Ground shipment has a tracking number. vinyl addict 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinyl addict Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Just realized the blank side if Broken has a bunch of writing around it. What's the deal with that? Thought these were supposed to be the same as the originals. I like the booklet, but I always enjoyed the look of the completely smooth side of Broken. Also, got a tracking # 2 days ago for my Fragile via DHL. 2 days and it still says it's not a valid tracking #. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filthyrich Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Placed an order, after a week hadn't heard anything, shot a msg to Sandbag.... And they got back to me the next day with a tracking # showing arrival in 2 days. Coincidentally (or not), looks like the shipment was mailed out between the time I sent the msg and the time they responded with the equivalent of "Look! It already shipped!!" I'm not saying contact them directly if you don't hear anything soon, but it can't hurt. Squeaky wheels, grease, etc. FYI shipment did show up in 2 days (today). Not the best mailer but there was bubble wrap. Fragile had a couple bent corners but if you're not packing a heavy set like that one correctly, it's bound to happen. Broken looked fine. I'll take it.

Barberbro Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Well.... let me tell you my story. Placed an order a couple of weeks ago.... after reading posts on here, thought I'd never get this thing. Cancelled and refunded order 4 days after it was placed. Deviations showed up today. I'm confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filthyrich Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Follow up that Broken is absolutely dead silent, both sides and the 7". A rarity with modern vinyl. Sound is similar to the original CD, though I haven't A/Bed them. It's not cut especially hot, and I didn't notice any additional compression compared to the original mix (which was fairly compressed, as that's the NIN sound). Definitely sounds better than it did on my shitty tape deck back in '92. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faaip de oiad Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Not sure if this was mentioned Legendary Woodstock '94 Live Set On Deluxe Edition Double LP! Limited Edition Clear Vinyl! In 1994, NIN set out on their notorious Self Destruct Tour with shows often descending into violence and chaos, as the members routinely smashed equipment - and often themselves too - at the climax of each performance. Perhaps the most memorable event however was NIN's set at Woodstock '94 in Saugerties, New York on Saturday August 13th, where the group played alongside Joe Cocker, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Cypress Hill and numerous others. Often dubbed "Mudstock", NIN took to the stage drenched and dirty, and attracted the largest crowd of the entire weekend. Broadcast live on FM radio and Pay-Per-View television to an audience of over 24 million, this recording includes the entire performance given by the band on this momentous occasion. Despite Reznor's later dissatisfaction with the results, it remains the stuff of legend. With exceptional renditions of 'March Of The Pigs', 'Closer' and 'Happiness Is Slavery' alongside other classics, this brutal and uncompromising show is captured here in the highest possible quality and will form a welcome addition to the collections of fans everywhere. Features: • Deluxe Edition Double LP • Limited Edition Clear Vinyl • 140g Vinyl • Import Selections: Side A 1. Terrible Lie 2. Sin 3. March Of The Pigs 4. Something I Can Never Have Side B: 5. Closer 6. Reptile 7. Wish 8. Suck Side C: 9. Burn 10. The Only Time 11. Down In It Side D: 12. Dead Souls 13. Help Me I Am In Hell 14. Happiness In Slavery 15. Head Like A Hole $30.31 Prime https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0733DSH6G?tag=upcomingvinyl-20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faaip de oiad Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 This appears to be the Music Vault version online. It's got the same exact track listing. If it's using the same audio, gonna sound absolutely awful on vinyl. vinyl addict 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadmonkey Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Every recording I've heard of that show has been awful. I feel the mix of shitty setup, shitty mixing, the band drunk and high as fuck, them fucking up equipment causing sound issues (Robin's guitar is dead for like the latter half of Happiness in Slavery) Makes it impossible to get a decent recording of this. I don't think I'd ever buy a sound recording, the video is fine enough. faaip de oiad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I have a bootleg CD of that Woodstock '94 recording as released by Kiss The Stone.
