TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Got my starburst in today. Such a great album, and probably the most beautiful starburst style record variant I own. gazzo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Mine came in this weekend, just opened it tonight - first time I have had the vinyl shipped outside the inner sleeve AND the poly protector (ordered another album when PO'ed this, and it was likewise outside the inner sleeve, and both inner and vinyl outside the jacket and its poly protector) I'm guessing DW is getting complaints of inner sleeve splits? ...But the vinyl is just left exposed to move around in the mailer. No cardboard sandwich, just one square of the big bubble wrap. Corner sparing mailer is appreciated, but I'd like to remove the vinyl from the inner sleeve myself. Both sound fine though thankfully after cleaning. gazzo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They went the extra mile with the box and bubble wrap on this one. gazzo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a little frustrated at it. Thankfully sound quality wasn't compromised, but I can definitely see some scuffs from it moving around freely. gazzo and drds89 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzo Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 Weird. They were delivered with the inner sleeve outside (but in the poly) (if i’m not mistaken). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N8TRU Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Unrelated but some in this thread may be excited to know the band confirmed in an IG Q&A that they're coming to the United States in March. I'm hoping I can make it to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzo Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 they are particularly looking for bands to tour with and/or place to play. If you can help out, you can always pm me and I'll hook the band up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drds89 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) For any interested in paying less than an arm/leg shipping for Slow Crush's EP on vinyl, I just got 3 copies in from Flood Records, which brought the shipping down to about $6.50 per record from across the pond. - cost will be $23 ppd "friends" to US or add 3% for regular PP if you don't trust me. If interested please PM, I don't mind holding them a while if you need time to raise $, otherwise they will eventually go to discogs. If you haven't listened to it yet, I highly recommend it. Edit: both copies gone. Comes with CD, download code, cool sticker, and glossy lyric sheet Wish I could help with touring connections here in the US, but I'm not able to. :/ Edited October 6, 2018 by drds89 1 copy left of the EP gazzo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
