Definitive Audiophile pressings

Received my copies of Pearl and Love this weekend from MoFi. Both had seam splits on top or bottom...interestingly, I emailed MoFi about it and got this response:

thanks for your email and sorry to see the damage to your jackets.

We are currently out of stock of both of these titles and any replacement jackets for them. We can offer you a partial refund ($10/LP) for the cosmetic damage if you choose to keep them, set up a return for you, or set up an exchange where we would have you send them back and order a new copy of those on backorder for you so that you would get a new one when we receive our restock. For a return or exchange we would pay for the return shipping.

Sorry for the inconvenience, let us know which option works best for you!

Fair enough. Think I'd take the $10/LP (assuming the vinyl is fine). I have Pearl on the way, and now I'm nervous :D.

yea i think i'm gonna take the discount. vinyl is fine (and both sound awesome). It's just those damn stupid inner advertisement things and the loose bag. i feel like half the stuff I receive direct from MoFi gets some kind of sleeve damage even though they seem to be packed well. i forgot about my backordered copy of Pearl at MD and that one arrived with no damage at all. so i think it's kind of a crap shoot.

FWIW, mine came from MD. Is the mailer from MoFi different from the MD ones?

Dylan Mono box just arrived. Super impressed by the packaging! I wish other boxes were so well put together (looking at you, Sade).
Will start the listening this afternoon.

Now it’s time to play Dylan Mono Box Bingo...
First answer the question everyone is dying to know...

IS...

IT...

NUMBERED!!!

Also, if you haven’t already. I would be a good idea to make sure that all the records match their respective sleeves. Not a common issue but a few people on here mistakenly received some wrong discs.

Yes! @Academy, my first box (from Amazon) had one album with the wrong record. Ordered a second and was able to get it right. Check 'em all.

Thanks for looking out! I can confirm it is NOT numbered and that all 8 album covers match the vinyl inside.

Is there a difference in pressing between numbered and not numbered versions?

Not really. Back when they were selling for cheap on Amazon it seemed like a good chunk of them turned out not to be numbered but most were. Not a big deal either way just an arbitrarily fun thing to compare. The number was kinda inconspicuous underneath the hype sheet on the back of the box.

While I don't think it coincides with numbered or not, I DO think there are two different pressings of the box set, which I only recently realized!
