kas1985 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Can anyone confirm that replacements have been received in the US? So far we've heard of replacements being sent to people in Germany, Australia, and Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Okay, so I got my box from Amazon. A few pics for Amazon-buyers waiting: The AIR box inside an Amazon box. The boxset is sealed with a letter and replacement LPs in separate sleeves outside the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Now I need to get some of the covers replaced since nearly all of mine have that black glue remnant line on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

000000 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I'm with you. I have yet to be able to get that glue off of my covers. Mine came right off, keep scrubbing, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David The Gnome Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Okay, so I got my box from Amazon. A few pics for Amazon-buyers waiting: The AIR box inside an Amazon box. The boxset is sealed with a letter and replacement LPs in separate sleeves outside the box. I find it really interesting that the replacements that the user from Germany got came from a plant/record company in Germany and your letter is from City Hall Records in California. Also, regarding the glue, it should come off with a little rubbing of your thumb. Mine came off fairly easily that way with no negative effects. I know one user said he needed to use a certain art quality kneaded eraser to get his off though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futures Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I can't wait to have my replacements so I can just be done with this whole thing, haha. Sapst- Are you still thinking about making those sleeves for the screw ups? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mom just sent me a picture message saying that I received a package in the mail, which has to be my replacements... the photo was of the packing label and the return address is: Furnace Record Pressing PO Box 3268 Merrifield, VA 22116 Weird y/n?

futures Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Huh. I wonder if these could've been fixed over many plants to speed up the process? Would that even make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinyl666 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Just received mine. Furnace Record Pressing for me as well. No note like the one pictured from the CA pressings, just the replacements in individual sleeves and then all replacements placed into a bag. Going to give some a spin now and see how they sound. Also, Sapst, I may be interested in those sleeves if you end up making them. I'll keep an eye on this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
000000 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Got mine in Buffalo. Spinning Photo Album and it sounds good, haven't compared it to the other yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinyl666 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Listened to We Have the Facts and Forbidden Love so far. I thought both sounded good. I didn't compare them to the mislabeled set, but I'm not going to unless I think something sounds bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David The Gnome Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Got mine today (From Furnace Records) ! The mailer looked so roughed up. Really hoping the vinyl isn't damaged at all. Sapst- Are you still thinking about making those sleeves for the screw ups? Yes, the sleeves are a go. I don't have any kind of set date as to when I think they'll be printed but I'm hoping sooner rather than later. I just started a new quarter at school so that could slow progress down but I absolutely want sleeves for them so these WILL happen. I'm gonna make a thread for them within the next few days because I want some input on what kind of design you guys would favor. This is for all of us (all of us that want them) so I want everybody to have a chance to have their two cents heard regarding how they'll turn out.

somethingvinyl Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I had to play the original set records to figure out what they were since they were mislabeled. In most of those cases, the LP's were warped somewhat. Didn't affect the playing but I noticed it. All the replacements were warp free but I did notice some surface noise. Might just need a good cleaning as I just quickly brushed them off so I could play. Listened to everything but SAA and Transatlanticism yet.

kylet Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Got my replacements today. If anybody wants my mislabeled ones send me a PM with an offer.- The Photo Album- We Have The Facts- You Can Play These Songs With Chords- The Stability E.P.- Forbidden Love E.P.

erthan Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 How are the replacements being shipped? Hopefully not DHL like the original ones were. Without a tracking number there's about a 1 in 10 chance of me ever getting them since DHL is so damned bad in my area. I'd definitely be interested in getting some new sleeves for the mislabeled ones as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxxo Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 The CA distributor handling the sets has them for sale at $262 (which includes domestic shipping): http://cityhallrecords.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
