Vinyl Me Please Classics

Same here. I ordered Aretha - Spirit in the Dark and The Meters - Fire on the Bayou and my box had a massive dent in it causing some pretty bad jacket damage (huge indentation in the sleeves on both). I even told them that the records themselves were fine but they sent me complete replacement copies. This was just a few months ago.
Wonder if it just varies based on the album, whether they can do jacket only? Doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason. I think the jacket only replacements are a relatively recent thing only though.

I know it's been at least a year since they started doing it, if not more. First one that I got that was jacket-only was Spiritualized. And they sent out Outkast replacements without jackets just those white cardboard sleeves.

I am trying to think the what was the last time I got a replacement for a vinyl sleeve damage and I had been awhile (I think). Maybe it was The Roots? or Aretha? I think most of my recent issues have been with the records themselves as opposed to the packaging. I know when I receive my Sparklehorse Boxset all the jackets were split and I ended up with a complete brand new set as a result. So maybe that?
 
VMP has had its ups and downs over the years, but one area they definitely deserve a lot of credit for is transparency on how they source and cut their releases. This should be a great one and pressed at RTI to boot.

As opposed to another company we just found out ahem 😊

I have a copy of Dinah coming from a friend. Anyone think it will ship out soon ?

Thought about the Lizzy, but passing for now.

How was that Sparklehorse set? Still have the spare damaged set? That was one I waffled on for awhile then it sold out

Ha! Yeah, @JonnyH has been more than generous with me over the years hooking me up with tix to live shows, the least I could do was pass along the set to him.

Like Jonny said It does sound great. I am surprised it’s been two+ years now since it was released and no one has used these plates to reissue the individual albums outside of the set.

Figured it was long gone haha. I’ll try to keep an eye out for a copy but seems prices are a bit crazy. Surprised they haven’t broken it out too…
 
Strange. Usually all my ROTM ship at the same time, but I just got a notification for Gravediggaz, but not Dinah - which is still listed as "pending". Wonder if there's a delay.

EDIT: Got tracking like 20 minutes later.
