That explains why everything just sounded off. Sucks when stuff like that happens. Thank you for clearing it all up. My wife and I were sitting there listening and really wanted to help. We almost walked back to the sound guy to let him know to up the vocals a tad and turn down the bass, which seemed to take over everything. We were coming from a place of concern and it just seemed like we annoyed you guys. Sorry about that. I hope the rest of your tour plays out great! Thank you! I really appreciate the concern and you and your wife looking out for us A definite lessons learned - sound checks 4 LIFE! No matter what! x whoa, mrewest, no use for a username and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drds89 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Back to HF.... my copy from Juno was shipped with the vinyl (put back) into the inner sleeves. Lightweight UK mailer, but snug - not the old envelopes. Surfaces are really quite good overall, so a good roll of the dice for a change.

mrewest Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Oh cool turns out my package is sitting in Warrendale, Pa due to a mercury spill that has closed that facility for over a week now fml. Currently 2 separate shipments (3 records total) sit there. Awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I did finally see some kind of updated to both packages on USPS this morning so that makes me feel better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I finally got a message about “delay due to emergency” or something so I was like WTF lemme Google this. Sure enough, mercury spill lol.

Derek™ Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 If it happened a few months earlier it could’ve delayed that Mercury Program reissue. Keith from Deathwish got back to me promptly. I tried to see if there was any chance on getting a replacement LP or partial refund (in a worst case scenario) and he offered a full refund. Opted to take it in store credit since I order from Deathwish fairly often, and the new Wear Your Wounds is right around the corner. He also confirmed that per Holy Roar, all their future orders will be shipped inside the protective sleeves. So hopefully there’s nothing to sweat when ordering from their label, going forward. drds89 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 My Vinyl Survived the Great Mercury Spill of 2019™️ But it didn’t survive scratch-gate 2019. However, other than a few minor pops & static, it sounds pretty good. Already got the same offer from DW tho so it’s all good. But I used a gift card too. So we’ll see what happens. whoa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Looks like they have 38 back on stock now. Now have to decide if i want to use my credit from the other one to buy it again. I'm assuming these will be in better shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll report back when it arrives if it’s any better. fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are you going to re-use your gift card? Keith never answered me about how to access mine, because i have no clue what that code is anymore. If you check your email, you'll see a refund message from Deathwish saying it went back on the card, but they don't give you the card code :X :X :X Also, I heard back from Sam at Holy Roar and they are sending me a replacement copy. Fingers crossed it comes in the poly-inners and sounds good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith should have provided you with a brand new “checkout” code that you enter in as a coupon code, good for the amount of the initial card.

He did not; he said he's waiting on a co-worker to supply him with some Shopify code because he doesn't have access to that. Sam from HR is sending me a replacement, but Keith said he was also haha. I told him not to worry since Sam was sending me one, so I hope he received my message in time. If not, I'll have an extra copy someone can have. What a mess! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Well, it's been about three weeks since my subscriber version of this record supposedly shipped from Holy Roar. Nothing. This was the only reason I signed up months ago for this subscription. Now, they are offering to send me a clear copy, which I already have. I don't even remember the last time a record was lost and they come weekly. Oh well. I guess I'm glad Holy Fawn are moving to a U.S. based label. I shouldn't have fallen for the subscriber exclusive bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
