3fingersdown Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I filed a claim last night with PayPal and got a refund today. It would have been nice for Customer Service to write back at some point. Fucking WB. So now what? Re order and hope the my money doesn't get lost in the ether? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Thanks for the info on this thread. I ordered the UK version shipped to Canada. It will be nice to see how the cover on 'mirrorboard' looks. I hope the remix on side D is as great as the rest of the album. It's an amazing record. Don't hype the remix too much, it isn't amazing imo.

Shelby Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I like it as a come down track after the awesomeness of the record. Basically I wouldn't listen to it just to listen to it, but I'll always put it on after spinning the actual album beforehand. If that makes any sense.

streetwaves Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Heard from the webstore today regarding no confirmation number or LP and I was told that there was a glitch and that the order has been pushed through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3fingersdown Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Placed a second order and got an email from CS, the vinyl is on backordered till the end of the month. I'm contemplating just cancelling & ordering from the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfingelectrode Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Seriously, just get the UK version. I got my copy today and it's a much nicer release than the American one. I'd much rather have quiet 180g vinyl than thin, noisy 'silver' vinyl. 3fingersdown and almightyseancore 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fancymonocle Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Fuck silver. I don't want to deal with WB so I'm just buying the UK version with the 7" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dstrange Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Seriously, just get the UK version. I got my copy today and it's a much nicer release than the American one. I'd much rather have quiet 180g vinyl than thin, noisy 'silver' vinyl. I just got my UK order yesterday. I was pretty happy with the upgraded foil packaging, 180gram 2XLP, 7" + also a cd of The Terror. This was cheaper to order from the UK to Canada than from WB or the Lips store.

somethingvinyl Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 There's a new shirt to preorder now. Apparently, it's worth as much as the new record: http://store.flaminglips.com/peace-and-punk-rock-destroyed-t-shirt-483401.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Also someone sell me their silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3fingersdown Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 That's fucked up, $40 for a white one sided t-shirt. I know it's business as usual but I fucking hate Warner Brothers and their willingness to exploit fans. $35 for a record? $40 for a T-shirt? Good luck with that shit. I'm sure they still get paid but I'd rather have the record shipped from fucking England for LESS money. What a bunch of twats. Sorry, I'm done ranting.

3fingersdown Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Got my UK copy today! Seam splits & banged up corners but I don't even care, at least I have it! Gonna give this a hard listen today. This was definitely the copy to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almightyseancore Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 damn, i want a UK copy. i've still been on the fence about this because of the price, but that package looks great. i caved when i found out sun blows up was on the 7". ordered from a UK site called "norman records", but the payment system was broken and had to opt for 'manual payment', whatever that means. anyone ever bought from these guys, or done this 'manual payment' option?

3fingersdown Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 That's where I got my copy from, took about 1 week to show up on the East Coast. Like I said it had some seam splits and a bent corner but who knows that might have just been my usps guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robes Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Just a heads up for non-UK peeps wanting to order the UK version. Piccadilly Records has it for 13.74 GBP (tax exempt) for non-UK residents, that's the cheapest I've seen this LP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only seeing it for £16.49 It says 16.49 but once you go through checkout it will automatically charge you the tax-exempt price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
