reachforthesky Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 My Stability EP is warped as well, but plays fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinyl666 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I emailed AiR about Transatlanticism being 33 rpm instead of 45 rpm. No response yet, but if I get something I'll fill everyone in. My Stability EP is maybe only slightly warped... looks pretty good to me. (I assume that everyone is referring to the record labelled The Photo Album when they say that the Stability EP is warped?) I can only hope that they don't half-ass the replacements. If they are of the same quality as what I have now I'll be quite satisfied. Still pretty happy with the set overall, and relieved to finally have something in hand, even with the mislabels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamover Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Well, I've finally listened through the whole box set and I gotta say, I'm very glad I bought it. I haven't been much of a Death Cab fan for years, but it was like rediscovering these records. I had OP's of Planes, Facts, Photos, and Trans, and sold them to get this set. I can say, without a doubt, that these pressings sound much better than the originals. I'd really be kicking myself if I didn't pick this up. Glad we're getting the correct labels and I hope stability isn't warped. Then it'll be perfect. The records are nice and thick, the jackets have super nice, thick sleeves, and the artwork is just like the originals. Just wish the box fit on my expedit.

erthan Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Just wish the box fit on my expedit. Was just about to say this. I don't know where else to put it! I took the top off and it fits though. Not a great solution probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxxo Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Do the particleboard shelves of the Expedit sag after awhile? Each shelf is only rated for 29lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kas1985 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Do the particleboard shelves of the Expedit sag after awhile? Each shelf is only rated for 29lbs. Haven't had any problems with mine. My set up has had as many lps as would fit into a cube for several years. Doesn't even begin to show any signs of sagging. Others may have had different experiences, but I plan on buying a bigger expedit in the near future. Very pleased with mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Do the particleboard shelves of the Expedit sag after awhile? Each shelf is only rated for 29lbs. No. If you have it set up correctly, the shelves are just 13 inches wide. if you have it on it's side, then it's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futures Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I'm also having an issue with the boxset not fitting in my Expedit, haha. I have no idea where to display it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamover Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 they must be fixing the boxes before shipping them out to amazon or any other retailers. makes sense. perhaps this is when we can expect to receive our replacement records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelmanfredi Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I just took the top off of my box. It still looks good with it not on there. I used the top as a stopper to keep my other records from sliding on the shelf with not so many LPs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or more likely this is a stock response they are sending because they are getting so many emails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oxxo Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Yeah it was from amazon I missed out on the original preorder. The A+R pre-order was not much cheaper for those of us in California since we also had to pay tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kas1985 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 The A+R pre-order was not much cheaper for those of us in California since we also had to pay tax. Everyone paid tax to AIR. I thought that was a little suspect. I paid a flat $10 in tax to AIR and I'm in Utah. I've thought of emailing them and asking why I paid them sales tax, an even $10 no less. I do realize that being in California you probably paid substantially more than $10 however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
