xbpr Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 No issues with my 10 club copy. Where are people finding the download cards? Can't find one in mine but maybe I'm overlooking it. Mine was tucked in with the booklet. You can also download off the PJ website through your order history. chiefwahoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 I didn't check the deadwax, but the DL card was definitely from URP... Just checked. Cut by Golden (Stamped) and pressed at United. (circled U) Well, this explains the quality control issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumbercules Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I returned my piece of shit copy back to the store, and my replacement was just as bad. I really want a good copy of this, as I'm really, really enjoying the album itself. Hopefully this gets resolved soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicondevil Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I just don't get why people don't like this album. I'm listening to it all of the time. Much better than Backspacer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathroommonkey Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 yeah it's better than backspacer, but that isn't saying much. i like it minus the singles, sirens and Mind your Manners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

museummouth Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Got a copy yesterday but haven't listened to it yet. The jacket is super nice quality though, one of the best I own. The booklet and sticker sheet are really cool too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wish they would have stopped by DC on this tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannibal Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 This sounds like they are talking about physical, visible damage to the LP or cover. They want a picture of the damage.

It says nothing about playback quality. I hope they acknowledge that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 They are sending me a new LP (no sleeve). I had glue in my grooves. They released a statement about that last week. Unless you are talking about a poor cut, they probably won't do shit about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
