tomfoolery Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Probably shouldn't have but I ordered it, shipping to new zealand was not pleasant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangl3r Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 So happy I finally managed to grab one! Shipping to Aus was something like $73, pricey, but still totally worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomfoolery Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Yeah, same for Nz, though strangely when I put in the version with the 7" box set and the sheep go to heaven single only cost $71 to ship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan_s82 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Is there a chance to get the test pressing in the pre-order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gutzonborglum Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Is there a chance to get the test pressing in the pre-order? I would assume not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weinerdog Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Is there a chance to get the test pressing in the pre-order? No - someone asked on their FB page and Cake confirmed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinji Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Sadly need to sell mine. If you want it, PM me. $140 shipped priority. fozzyb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExtraFox Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I have the problems described with Motorcade of Generosity (the raised vinyl was obvious from the moment I looked at the disc under the light) and with Prolonging the Magic (i can't see the scratch either). Let's see how they deal with a transatlantic version of this, though with the new press coming soon they may (bloody well should) have solved these problems and I won't get new ones with the same defects. I wonder if they'll want me to send them back to the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what you're going to get if they replace yours... my guess is the sooner you do it the more likely you are to receive replacements from the first press....and they will more than likely be albums that people have already returned (like i suspect mine is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amaestre Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I didn't have to send my fashion nugget back, although my replacement copy had identical problems so it doesn't really matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan_s82 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 also get the 7" boxset with it for 10 bucks more, totally worth it Thanks for the heads up, I pre-ordered both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've sent photos of Generosity and also let them know that people seemed to be having the same issues with their replacements and were giving up trying to get the issues solved. niblips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExtraFox Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I'd be interested to hear what their reply to that is. Keep us posted. The message said that Brooklyn Phono are closed this week, so it might be a bit before I hear anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExtraFox Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I just read the most recent conversation between you and Tommy regarding Prolonging the Magic. We will send you a replacement copy from the upcoming batch in 10-12 weeks. So we’ll also ship your replacement copy of Motorcade of Generosity at that time. Thanks for your patience, Brooklynphono I'm more than happy to wait this long to get a properly pressed record. I have replied letting them know that I've passed this on to others who's replacement Prolonging the Magic had the same problem as the originals, so if you want another one, get in touch again. I'm assuming no-one had a faulty replacement Generosity. Please post again if you did. This thread is far too long to comb through again.

tomfoolery Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 So this is still up for preorder, even though the Cake FB page said about 2 weeks ago that it was ending 'this week'. I have no issue with this being up for preorder, I missed it the first time around an am thankful that I got another chance but lying about when the preorder is ending (I assume to get people to jump on it out of fear of missing out) seems a bit low no? Also, if anyone missed this before, its still up but not shipping until September. Hope they sorted out the issues with the first lot for this run. Won't be fun trying to get them sorted from NZ if I have to send the duff ones back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been on vacation for the last few weeks and only just saw your post. thanx. I have contacted them again about Prolonging the Magic. Also, if i've read you post correctly, this is the first time i've seen it mentioned that the original record had the same pressing issue.

Also, if i've read you post correctly, this is the first time i've seen it mentioned that the original record had the same pressing issue. I think that's my mistake. By originals, I mean the box set pressing of Prolonging the Magic that people have had replaced. If it comes across that I meant any previous, non-box set pressing of Prolonging the Magic, then that is not what I mean. Having searched the thread I see that you are the person who's replacement box set PtM was faulty. I hope they are helpful in sorting this out.

I have just sent a msg this morning about it, so we'll see what happens. I had given up, but after your post i thought i'd give it another shot.

axisrecapital Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Has anyone received any communication about when this is going to ship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just a normal guy kevin Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 It was slated for "early September". However, the merch company that is managing the sales and shipping has confirmed that the ETA is now "sometime by the end of September". It sounds like it hasn't been pressed yet by the inability for anyone to provide a clear timeframe. Is this box set the most recent casualty of the modern day vinyl pressing plant shortage epidemic? What other beloved pre-orders are at risk? Stay tuned for more after the break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
