My reply:

So I don't know, this response still just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I won't argue that what you were provided was mixed and pressed to a high standard. It arguably does sound spectacular.

I guess where I disagree is that the final result will differ "slightly" from an official release. There was no official release so this comparison is a bit of a reach. And trying to argue that leaving out the lead vocals (or not even reaching back out to the band to see if there was a mistake) and then painting this as a "better" version is at best patronizing and at worst negligent and a misrepresentation of a product you are selling. And that part that burns me still is that your listing still does not provide this information up-front and the only way for anyone to see what they might be getting is to stream through your soundcloud link...

For the record, here is what a competitor of yours has listed on their site for this release:
To address some speculation on the internet regarding the stems for San Francisco specifically, we noticed early on that Stu's lead vocal was missing, so we worked with the band's crew to locate the missing stem and our record was then mixed with Stu's lead vocal intact.

I've read your return policy and I'm not keen to attempt a return on my dime. I've already sunk more cost into buying the version from your competitor that you should have provided in the first place.

I know it means next to nothing coming from me, but do better.

I don't really care at this point. I just have that trait of justice sensitivity and I wasn't going to let this go without telling them they are full of it.

If you're going to lie, lie to my face so I can watch you try and spin it. That shows me all I need to see.

They did at least offer a full refund. I know it's not ideal, but they didn't tell you to f off either.

A refund upon return. Which is on me per their policy.

Yeah, that sucks. I'm disappointed, since I also ordered this from them. It is hard for me to be too mad at them for something that was the band's "fault" but also they are free bootleg recordings, so it's tough to assign blame here. It's a lot of music to try and listen to for all those shows. I'm more surprised that Levitation caught it. Huge props to them.

I have the San Diego from Levitation/Reverb and it came with a slip mat. It's a great set, and while pricey, I am happy I have it.

Just do your due-diligence with Fuzz Club I guess...
