You know what would have been a great NERD pick? The original version of In Search Of.. still not really a RHH pick but a much better one than this one.

I haven't listened to Fly or Die since it came out but I remember it being crushingly disappointing after In Search of.. which was fantastic. I prefer the original too but I quite like both versions.

Is that the album with the track, 'Bobby James'? Thats a fire song.

That is indeed the one. Although the 'first version' may just be the version you already know as the electronic version got released in Europe before they re-recorded it with Spymob and put it out over in the US (and all vinyl versions have been the one with Spymob so far)
 
@Murfocakes and @Joe Mac you might be able to help me with this one. So the 2 ROTM got through customs fine and I now have tracking for the others. 1 parcel has 2 black friday sale records in there with the total cost to me being 28USD (its Cecil Taylor and the Art Ensemble of Chicago) but after checking that Parcel App website it says the declared value is 72USD.....2.5 times the price I paid. Did the fees you got hit with relate to the number shown on the tracking or was it based on the price you paid? Im baffled where they got the 72USD from unless that was the original price of the 2 combined.

If I end up getting a 'custom fee to pay' slip which is calculated from the 72USD im not going to pay it and shoot CS a photocopy of them and ask what the hells going on.

My parcels haven’t arrived yet. But they have declared $100 which is enough to hit customs if the declaration is picked up. The limit is £20/€22 and if it goes above that the entire amount is subject to VAT + any customs charges + any postal company charges. Beyond VAT being 20% I don’t know what the other charges would be in the UK sorry!

Interesting. I wonder why Snoop isn’t available as a swap though? Can see why people are a bit pissed off. I’ve been relatively happy as a member for a couple of years but it seems to completely fallen to pieces over December.

Maybe they’ve had surplus stock for a while and it’s not been featuring high in swap numbers. Maybe they just like to piss people off.

A year ago I’d have been angry, right now it’s an irritant but it’s way down the list of their problems.
 
Hey Guys 🙋‍♂️😇🐒

To give some more hope to those waiting for their packages, I got another delivery today!!! I got three exclusives which came in three different separate packages/boxes! I am very happy that I received my John Coltrane and Rolling Stones! 🙌🌈🌟

I’ll update you on when I receive my December box and what is inside it! 📦

So far, there has been no errors with my orders! I’m one of the lucky ones! 🍀😅
 
I know a lot of people have warping issues from VMP. What percentage of records are received damaged from them? I’ve ordered a number of records this month from VMP, Magnolia, Third Man, Amazon, and my local record store. My 6 records from Magnolia were all warped, my Coldplay and Patsy Cline were warped from TMR, my Aretha is warped from VMP, and 4 records were warped from Amazon. Am I just this unlucky, or is this a major problem everyone has?
