It was in one of those alleged crush proof mailers...but the upper left corner of the jacket was crimped/crushed beyond fix...UGH... I'll see on finding a copy at local Target and then will see on returning this one. Good luck. I just checked online and there's only one store in 50 miles of Boston that shows as having any. Yesterday there were none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revisited Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 My target sold out the night of release and constantly checked the stock in the app. Managed to pick up a copy today (only 2 left). They each had a small crease mark on the upper right by the spine, if I were to nitpick. But based on everyone’s shipping experience I am glad to have gotten one. I also got a notification for my shipped copy while I was on my way home (ordered in case I struck out in store, planned to cancel when I got home but too late). We’ll see how that one turns out. I am pretty sure these will be plentiful in store before long. Hope everyone can get the issues with their copies sorted out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Agreed. All the others are still in stock. They are just held back by plant capacity. I’m sure there will be more coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMatrix Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Yep. There was 3 or 4 Fearless LPs at Target when I got mine Friday so they will come back around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted November 17, 2021 Author Share Posted November 17, 2021 I’ll check my closest stores over the weekend. Surely they’ll get some more in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad Heart Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Laughing at all the reviews on Target about how the album sounds like a man cause they aren’t playing it at 45rpm.

I'm in no rush to return it, I'll listen to records 2, 3, and 4 a lot over the next few days before I can get to Target. I was able to return in store today and get a new copy. Unfortunately, all four copies on the shelf were damaged in some way. I bought the one of the four that was the least bent, but still has one crushed corner. I considered buying a second copy to help out someone here who needed it, but all were too damaged. What's interesting to consider is that the copies that are coming in the mail may have been damaged even before individual shipment. I did open up and inspect each record in the parking lot before I left, and thankfully the wax itself appears mint and there is no embedded paper shards like my first copy. But now that I have seen and held 5 copies of this 4xLP, the weight of the vinyl is just too much for the thin cardboard. If anyone gets a copy that has a sleeve that is NM, consider yourself fortunate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 (edited) 4 records in a wide spine direct to board are just asking for trouble. Hell, I feel like even the plastic wrap alone can damage the sleeve. Wish they just did a quad fold, or a sleeve in sleeve.

revisited Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 My shipped copy was sent in an oversized box as well, pretty gnarly crease 1/3 of the way along the spine. It also had the same little tick mark where my first copy had one, so I guess it’s a common issue. Back to the store it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchard Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) Bought mine in store. Cover is in pretty good shape, though all of them had at least one small corner ding. No warping, all labels accounted for. Seam splits on the inner sleeves, as expected. The second disc has some black speckling all over both sides. Doesn't look like transition bleedover really, so I'm guessing it's some random junk. I'll have to see if it impacts play at all. Doesn't appear to be raised or anything.

Corgipants Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 My black copy came yesterday, and was perfectly fine, no mangled corners or anything. I haven't had a chance to do a Target run for a red copy yet but probably will in the next few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Just another person with a damaged red Red from Target. No damage on the mailer and yet a major bend in the top right cover. These were damaged before shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booms528 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) My Target copy is perfect, for what it's worth. (At least from the outside. I haven't taken it out of the shrinkwrap yet.)

lexicondevil Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Went to Target today and no luck on a red copy. Glad I didn't return mine yet.
