youspinmeround Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 Just finished listening. Sounds fantastic The booklet in addition to the giant lyric book with writings on the songs and original artwork and sketches in fantastic Art on the 4 lp sleeves and the record inside of a poly lined sleeve with another sleeve Box is sturdy and heavy Overall, zero complaints. Worth the 80 bucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 bought one at grimeys today, they had at least 3 that were out and visible, probably twice that many in reserve. still holding out hope for the .ca one to come through Grimey's in Nashville? That place is fuck-my-face amazing! So much new vinyl its sick. Pretty baller ass prices as well. Wish I had more disposable income while I was there. They had like 15 copies of Dopesmoker just chillin' in the corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doveholes Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Just wanted to thank you guys for the heads up about the Amazon.it pre-order. I'm a longtime lurker, occasional poster. I ordered from there on your recommendation and they just confirmed shipping. €55 / £45 delivered to London. It's currently listed for £140 on Amazon.co.uk and €120 plus P&P on Amazon.it.

crapforgenius Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 http://imgur.com/a/EaLce Some pictures of the LP set I found lying around the internet. It appears they've split up "Thru The Eyes of Ruby" and "Stumbeline" over a side split - I understand the original LP didn't have them together, but if you're going to format it to match the original sequence, shouldn't you put the split where it originally occurred? (The tape flips between "Stumbeline" and "XYU".) Sure it throws off the side balance but it's a way better listening experience, which I thought was the point.

benjo09 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 It seems some people got the latest email and some didn't. I didn't and ordered within 5 mins of getting the promo code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrickemmons Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 People who complain about things shipping in bubble mailers and record mailers without a stiffening board are missing out on the coolest way to ship something, in shrinkwrap packaging!

kidamnesiac Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Been listening to the digital deluxe version since yesterday and this does not disappoint. The album itself has a lot more clarity and the mud has been scrubbed away. The drums are particularly more present, and you can hear a lot more of the subtlety in nearly every track. Thankfully it is a little louder and punchier but not brickwall loud. The bonus tracks are great. Probably the best set yet in the reissue series. Overall, I'm very pleased and excited to get the vinyl package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Luckily it's still in perfect condition maybe that was the FU for having to sell it to you below cost. Either way you came out on top. patrickemmons 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

withengineheart Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Woooah that's hilariously lame. I wonder if they sent it like that for US customers only. Can't comprehend how they could send it internationally. Well, well. We'll see tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 make sure you guys leave packaging feedback. that's pretty unacceptable. although, it'll probably endure less damage than it being in a large box, bouncing around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyfranciosa Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 They sent my Velvet Underground mono box like that last month too. Ridiculous. I'm still trying to get them to replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
