i got both of mine this week. fred emailed me that they were shipping out after i had been in contact with him and he refunded me postage since i placed across two orders.

Should I email? I haven't gotten any shipping notice.

i believe they only just started shipping earlier this week. he's a one man operation so i imagine it will take a bit for them all to ship. but doesn't hurt to email. i know people said he has been slow to get back to them. took me a few emails to get a response but somewhat understandably, i first emailed the day the drop went live.

Ah, I can be patient then. I thought maybe he started shipping right away and a month felt a bit long. But I'm good waiting.

nope--he was still glueing jackets and inspecting all the records when they went on sale haha

The TP has slightly different EQ. Not better, not worse. Slightly different. Same tape. Same mastering chain.
He can spend time answering emails or shipping records. I prefer shipping records. Emailing won't make it faster.
Mine haven't shipped yet. I'm not bugging him.
I've managed to live half a century without them. A bit more isn't an issue.

People were emailing because some people didn’t get confirmations, or wanted to combine orders before shipping since the site kept crashing. I emailed him since I had to place separate orders and wanted him to combine and refund some of the shipping. Otherwise it would have been nearly $70 to ship the two records separately.

Have you had any tracking info since you posted this? I haven't yet and just wanted to see if others are in the same situation.
Usually my proximity to France means I get them before you US folk, but that hasn't been the case this time.

I just heard from Fred yesterday, so he's still at it.

He did apologize for the delay as well.

Perfect, thanks. Im in no rush for it, just didn't want to be forgotten. It will definitely be worth the wait!
Ah amazing, I wasn't even aware this existed. Have you seen it? Worth watching?

My favourite part of his email was "I hope you enjoy these releases." He clearly doesn't know me

In full, no. I tried watching a bunch of jazz stuff on Kanopy and the Criterion Collection a while back though and they're all fascinating snapshots of a moment in time. Dexter Gordon's Round Midnight came out last year and I think they have plans for the Sun Ra one too.

Holy shit. He wasn't kidding when he said express! He shipped them Wednesday, emailed me yesterday and they were waiting for me when I got home just now!
As well as the latest Modern Harmonic Sunny, which released today!
