gmoney Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I sent Virgin an e-mail, but haven't heard anything... give them a little more time, then I'll start reaching out via twitter/facebook. What do you want to know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 What do you want to know?Probably if they'll replace the former pressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barberbro Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I contacted Amazon.ca regarding my pressing that was purchased in 2012 for $8 (long story but that's what I paid), with the horrible sounding Zero. After explanning my problem to them, they are sending me a replacement as long as I return the defective boxset to them. I hope the new boxset I receive is the new press with the larger runout.

Eliminator Jr. Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Ordered via Amazon.com, 73€ shipped to Germany is the best price I've come across since ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know if that works and you receive the new one because I might send mine back too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did you contact Amazon.ca? I'm tempted to try this out as well, but figured there wouldn't be a response for a purchase made in 2012.

B-dosia Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Was wondering why so many of these were popping up lately for sub $100. Always one of those releases i wanted, but not willing to pay the big buks for. Got one off Amazon for $64 ppd, i'm satisfied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is awesome and thanks for sharing. I may do the same. Got mine from Amazon.ca as well in the $35 range, it'd be great if you let us know if the copy you get is like the one joeybuckets posted pictures of. Will save me the $70 bucks to buy a new one and keep the old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barberbro Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Just got my replacement. It's the new version with the wider run outs. Time to pack the old one up and send it back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mia2000 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Thanks Barberbro! Just contacted Amazon.ca - crossing my fingers that I get a replacement. I haven't listened to the record in awhile, but remembered Zero being a big ol' mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stl_ben Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I think expecting them to replace something you have had for 2 years may be a little silly.... kjkenney and gmoney 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjkenney Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 yeah I'm surprised that they've been fulfilling some at all. Kudos to them, but thats really a manufacturing error more than it being the distributor's fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattxtra Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I think expecting them to replace something you have had for 2 years may be a little silly.... Yeah, I didn't think they would. But worth a shot of silliness; since the original repress sounded so poor... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mia2000 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I wonder what Barberbro said to get Amazon to send a replacement for an order placed over 2 years ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barberbro Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I think expecting them to replace something you have had for 2 years may be a little silly....I agree. I took a sho,t and it worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxonviolons Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I wonder what Barberbro said to get Amazon to send a replacement for an order placed over 2 years ago? Probably helped if he was the first one to call in and ask. I imagine it might be the only one seeing as how they don't want dozens more calling in and getting a better copy for free.

Barberbro Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Tbh, I didn't even realize that there was a problem with the pressing until I read it on here. I took a closer listen and saw that my copy didn't sound that good. I basically emailed them, in a nice manner, that I loved this album and was willing to ship my copy back to them for a replacement. I also mentioned that this was a known issue that has been corrected by the label. I purchase a lot of vinyl , amongst other items, from Amazon. That may have helped as well. Maybe Capitol (?) should step in and replace copies. It was their mistake... I didn't want to rub it in, just thought that maybe some other members would have the same luck as I did getting a replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
