Anyone's copy have popping and distortion on Baby, Baby, Baby (track 6) on side 1 of Aretha AOTM?

My copy plays through fine.

side note: I just realized when I read this, that all your posts come through in the voice of Michael Keaton’s Beatle Juice in my mind. It makes me happy.

Another album from Domino Records????

How many do they need to do before we get Bloc Party?!?!

Bloc Party were never on Domino - the first few albums were on Wichita in the UK, Vice in the US. Then Frenchkiss, then BMG. [/pedantry]

Not my cup o tea, canceled.

My copy plays good, and I'm using a needle I've had problems with recently, so I feel confident saying the album is good.

Yeah, the rest sounds great. Just that track. Not sure if its worth trying to get a replacement. Still waiting about a month for other records they haven't shipped me yet.

There’s a reason for that. After this release members of the group started leaving, Angel Deradoorian after Bitte Orca and Amber Coffman after Swing Lo Magellan. I think they were a sweetener counter to Longstreth’s abrasiveness.

I tried to find the video Questlove shot of the backstage after a Fallon performance blowing everyone’s minds with their vocal gymnastics but was unable. So here is a different live video that kinda shows off the same thing.

Bitte Orca and Swing Lo Magellan are both excellent. So glad I got to see them live before Amber split, at least.

They didn't tell you too bad, here's $15 credit like they did with me for Brubeck??

Nah my assumptions is they likely have a shit ton since it’s the essential pick. It was a corner ding, I gave them 3 options: new jacket, new album or a full refund. They chose door #2. Hopefully they can get it to me in good shape this time.

Well I supposedly have a Brubeck replacement coming my way anyway since I later learned it was incredibly noisy, but as far as I can tell it still hasn't shipped, even though they told me it would ASAP 3 weeks ago.

Guess you're on the customers we care about list. Good luck!

And that’s pretty much this is pretty much the VMP MO currently, unfortunately. Inconsistency in customer service is the worsts.

Ok, so my order is still unfulfilled. Wasn't concerned earlier this week, but now we're a day from the 15th. And that's on a Sunday. Should I be concerned?

I think most people are in this boat. I think they've lost control of shipping and inventory management entirely now. I'm not expecting these anytime soon.

That's too bad. It's a pretty good month over all. I guess the records will shop up when they show up and I can reassess my membership in consequence.

They'll be getting an email on Tuesday if I dont get a notice or if it doesn't pop up in informed delivery.

I see that Aretha is showing as sold out in the store. Does anybody know whether this is some glitch or will it be available as a swap at the end of the month?

My guess is either a glitch or they are holding back copies for replacements.

my guess is the new system doesn’t allow them to take the current ROTM out of the store so they mark it OOS until the following month when it becomes available for sale.
