TIMES OF GRACE 'SONGS OF LOSS AND SEPARATION' LP (Limited Edition, White Vinyl, with Autographed Lithograph)
STREET DATE IS 9/24/21 Songs of Loss and Separation, the sprawling second album from TIMES OF GRACE is insistent in its bluesiness, bleeding distortion and emotion, weaving effortlessly between pensive, heavy, midtempo rock riffs and atmosphere. The band's sophomore effort and first since 2011...

Exactly. I wonder what the holdup is? I thought the Tuff Gong plant was all up and running and I’m assuming all the mastering is done and they’re ready to get pressed. COVID doesn’t help but these were up for pre-order last fall if I remember right.

It's a really great tracklist. Are these NOW comps generally released in the US, too? I picked up a NOW 80's comp second hand a couple years ago for perhaps $2, but cannot recall ever seeing one new in a store here recently. Last time I saw one was at Virgin Records in Union Square, NYC sometime around 2002ish.

JFC, just realized how many pre-orders I've got/had with Hello Merch after a bad experience with them. Opened a 2lp set to find two copies of LP1. They sent a snippy reply: "I'm sorry, but we do not do exchanges/returns with any media forms.. vinyl, CDs, tapes."
I like to support bands directly, but if they're using Hello Merch, I guess I use Amazon or Target going forward.

This may sound snotty on my end but if that happened to me and I got that response I'd be seeing if I could initiate a chargeback. They didn't send what they said they would.

Looking at the age of the presses on a Billboard video tour of the re-opened plant last summer, I wouldn't be surprised to hear the term "technical difficulties". I imagine getting replacement parts and technician help for those old presses could be tough.

I got a copy of the Good Records To Go St Vincent record, “warm white marble” variant with a signed print, but the record has a crack/split that goes through the vinyl rendering track one of both sides unplayable. I reached out to Good Records To Go, none of that variant left, so they sent me a black vinyl to replace it. However, when I received it, the record was put into an old inner sleeve a Firefall record, not even a MoFi sleeve.
I also reached out to Loma Vista to see if they had any solutions. They go through Concord Music, and they’re saying that Good Records To Go is not their store. My question to them is how were they able to press 1000 copies if they aren’t one of their stores.
Am I being too picky?

Contact the band directly and tell them how Hello Merch is treating their fans.

Agreed. I bought DJ Shadow's last release at my local and it had two of the same LPs. I brought it back and exchanged it for another - we opened it there and it was the same issue. My store owner refunded me and told me to just keep it as they couldn't get any money back from the distributor anyway. Resorted to twitter and was contacted directly by band management who were horrified that we'd received two copies like that. They ended up sending us the correct LPs, a cd copy, a t-shirt for my husband and some other merch like stickers etc. We were also told that we would be put on the list for the show of our choice next tour (then Covid hit
)It's definitely worth reaching out.

When a biz sells a new product to a consumer, they have legal obligations that are not replaced by their stated return policies.
Regardless, I would not characterize this as a return or an exchange. They didn't send you what they offered for sale and you paid for. If your credit card company won't do a chargeback, I would argue they've breached a contract and violated merchant-to-consumer warranties under the Uniform Commercial Code. In other words, a potentially easy case in small claims court. (that's not legal advice, just my personal $.02)
I'm not saying you should do that over a record, and I agree with the other ideas to first contact the band, but their response is both offensive and preposterous. Most importantly, it's absurd that you (or me) would even need to be talking in these terms, but that's the position they've put you in.

For anyone interested: They just changed this to read 21st Century Schizoid Man will be the flexi included with the new black midi album ordered with that link. Can't remember how I got to that poll, but I guess I was wrong or something changed.
