gazzo Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Didn’t spin it yet, but everything else is typical MOV quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not gatefold so not as nice as the 10 year in my opinion. Standard white inner sleeve and a lyric insert. Normal MOV clear plastic bag with gold hype sticker. Silver stamped numbering on the back (#000030 checking in). Haven't spun yet so can't comment on audio quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nardes Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Of course my preorder through my local record store ended up being a bust as “their distributor “didn’t get nearly as many copies as they had expected” 😭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringo_0 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 SRCVinyl still says "Processing" even though I hopped on it the very second it went on sale ditc586 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchard Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 HHV order got here. Do they normally pack vinyl like this with zero extra protection? The jacket took a beating... The record itself seems to be fine (and sounds great!), but I'm kinda bummed now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only issue was seam splits on the standard white dust jacket and the plastic holding bag, so mine came in pretty normal shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchard Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 It looks like the original shipping label was re-taped to this box, with the cardboard still attached. I'm blaming customs or FedEx for this one. Bummer, but oh well I guess. At least the record is perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d file a complaint with those useless fucks if I were you. fedex have to be one of the worst I’ve had the misfortune of dealing with.

As a solutions advisor for FedEx, I can tell you we wouldn’t have just opened your package for fun. My best guess is customs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michaelgetsboss Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I got 84 and my mailer was jacked up too, but the record it self is in good shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuckinandsuckinandtouchin Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I have a feeling all of the Amazon orders are going to be standard black. Trying to find a clear here in the states. Rarewaves had a bunch listed on the bay, but they messaged me back and said they weren’t clear (and still haven’t updated the description) MCDELTAT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but all of these large retailers think they are getting clear when in reality, they’ve already moved onto standard black since the initial /1500 sold. Not 100% sure though. I ordered a copy on 09/15 from Amazon, but didn’t ship yet. Let’s hope 🤞🏻 I’m just a sucker for clear wax tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, one could order multiple copies and return them for free through AmazonPrime if they didn’t get clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysundown1305 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I'm gonna be pissed if my amazon order ends up being black even though I order the clear. I ordered on amazon the first day it went up. zackdumbass and YesPlease 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
