Pre-Order Thread

[Dead C]

Ayyy to each their own, will I give a pass to a company who tried me like that? Probly not, but Goodie Mobb vs Rico Nasty. I mean where is the line here people lol

Giving a pass is one thing, but making a post to thank them?

So- this thread is populated so I'm going to ask your throughts

My preorder of Amoeba's white vinyl of Flying Lotus- Flamara arrived today and as I carried the box into my kitchen on this lovely 94 degree spring day in Alabama, the back of the box still felt hot to the touch. Not good.

Opening the package and after admiring the handsome jacket, my fears were confirmed. Maybe the worst eye- test warp I had ever seen. Being that this was a limited variant preorder that is long sold out, I decided to cautiously spin this on my table to see if looks were worse than sound.

The white vinyl spun and swayed and rippled...hell it looked like it was STILL melting. I dropped the needle and you could hear an audible -thump thump- when it spun around..but yet, as side 1 played, there was no discernible distortion and the needle never jumped the groove, no skips (played at 1.5 weight).

So here is my thing- do I contact Amoeba and file a return on a record that flew across the country and partially melted in the Southern heat? Would another just do the same thing? Is it worth sending back? Does it even hold value as a collectible anymore?

If this was amazon or a big box, I wouldn't care. But an indie, I'm conflicted on how responsible I should hold them, but at the same time I have a disfigured record.

Mine also melted, I emailed them yesterday so we’ll see how they respond...

Yea lmao I bet it was the guy who said he would disappoint you by remaining positive. He's back on the happy train I guess!!!!

I've had the original forever, but I'd probably still buy the blue Endtroducing, if we had an HMV out here

See above - as some of these should be available from bigger retail stores as well.

I'd doubt it, but who knows. I went through the wayback machine archive page of the old place just to see what was saved and he seemed like that love affair was over.

I probably don't need to buy one, but I'm gonna check anyway. Thanks!

Ok so I preordered the Sufjan 7” from his merch site cause I didn’t even realize it was available through Asthmatic Kitty. Theirs looks like it ships weeks earlier than the one I ordered. Damn.

 

[Bennnnn]

Oh also I’m sure I’m missing a post somewhere, but @Teeeee there is a 7” of the new Sleater-Kinney track:

I just grabbed the Endroducing box set the other day from Walmart for around $45 it’s a much better pressing than my previous copy (a poorly pressed reissue). Haven’t gone through all the extras yet but it’s a nice set.

That's pretty cheap for that box.

New Sufjan EP

https://loveyourself-withmywholeheart.sufjan.com/

Was just coming to post this.

At first I thought they were gonna make me buy a shirt to get the 7”, but that’s not the case.

Anyway, got one! Didn’t read when it ships out

Edit: just read the email. Shipping July 15.

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Hey

That's pretty cheap for that box.

Yeah, I got lucky, it was one of those r/VinylDeals bot finds and they kept putting up just a few at a time. The deal had expired a few times prior before I got a chance to pick one up but obsessively refreshing vinyl deals for a few days finally paid off and I got one. It might have been my first Wally World record purchase come to think of it. Regardless, nice set for a great price and now one of my brothers is getting the crummy version as a Christmas gift.

Cool! I could use a copy of Combat Rock.

Yeah just check sooner then later. They had these around Christmas if i remember correctly.


Edit:

Oops! | Sunrise Records (2428391 Ontario Inc)

Found this. Has some of the ones from earlier when they did this but Combat Rock doesn't appear. Check your local Sunrise to see if they have it. I'll go check mine as well.
