mameeshkamowskwoz Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I think we can all agree that if you do somehow receive your box set in December of 2013 that you should totally flip it on eBay!! hirize 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasingbreakers Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Mine shipped yesterday however my tracking number indicates it was already delivered to me December 2013 in France, two issues with that 1. I don't have a time machine 2. I live in Canada. Probably an old tracking number that they haven't updated yet. They often reuse them for international shipping.

niblips Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I'm not sure anyone here wants a rational explanation..... they just want to rant and complain... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazHilarant Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I'm not sure anyone here wants a rational explanation..... they just want to rant and complain... lol No, I am very excited. Definitely an old tracking number. Just funny is all. Did very well this RSD, Just unfortunate about the R.E.M Unplugged not coming into Canada. I mean really I am not paying 300 for it on eBay.

circuit bored records Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Just spun fashion nugget, now on motorcade of generosity. These records needed a good cleaning but sound fantastic afterward. I love this set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it paper bits? or Static? or both? I'm surprised by the number of people who don't clean their records before the first play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly static-related pops and clicks and even a skip. No paper though. Just listened to one song to test it before cleaning. Completely gone after cleaning. I agree, I don't think many people on here clean new records before playing. niblips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dust happens, so does pollen, it escapes into every crevice especially here in Carolina, cleaning is a must. Stock up on Windex! (Note, actually saw someone do this once at a record fair...took note to never buy from him). niblips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's supposed to be pink translucent The idea was that every record was a different color, and I have two that are just "clear". I'm not pissed by any means, I'm just disappointed.

Well maybe there are others out there with clear copies of the other albums...then you could trade for an entire clear collection of this box set.

chunkrock Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 My order says shipped but I didn't get a tracking number. I'm not going to worry about it unless all the other Canadian folks start posting about receiving them before mine shows up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saurus8119 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Just got mine this afternoon...Anyone spin their copy of motorcade yet? The pressing on that one doesn't seem too great. The last two songs of each side sound pretty miserable. Cleaning on the RCM doesn't help. rynflnnry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thespungo Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Mine arrived today in absolutely perfect condition -- not a split, tear, or bent corner anywhere. I'm sorry for those of you who were the victims of bad shipping. My Pressure Chief is a very rich, bright pink with some smoke, while my Comfort Eagle is about 99.9% clear. Has anyone come across a final pressing number for this first run yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just a normal guy kevin Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 There has to be a few passionate whiners whose box sets are still on backorder and are willing to email bomb Connextion about an ETA and then report back here. Get on it. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevethehaus Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Got my box set today, the box packaging itself was totally fine. Packaging is beautiful. So far I've only made it through Motorcade and like others have said the pressing is extremely noisy. "Haze of Love" and "You Part The Waters" have constant noise throughout. Will definitely be seeking out a replacement. First few songs sounded great so as long as that problem is corrected on another pressing it should be great.

adschnei Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 How bad are the dings on some of your boxes? Seen a lotta talk about it, but no one pissed enough to post pics, so can't be too bad, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
