I don't think they ever sent them out the first time! They've been pending shipment the whole time.

Their internal systems really are laughable!
I placed an order on December 8TH since it was guaranteed delivery by Christmas if ordered by that date. Just got shipping notice today for said records!

I had a similar order and was basically told, “well, those ones are actually really hard to reach”. That shipment got damaged, 3/4 are now out of stock, and I’ve been waiting for five days to hear anything from CS. The variance in response times is wild. From 10 minutes sometimes to a week+ others.

You should reach out to Paul or ask that the case be escalated, that’s not acceptable. At the very least they need to give you a better answer

I hate to have to do that, but if they don't get back to me again in a couple days I'll try something else.

they recently-ish added a bunch of new CS folks, who I think are still getting their sea-legs. Not that it excuses a 2 month delay and no communication. I think pinging him (via discord or reddit or whatever) would get someone with more experienced eyes on it PDQ and thus resolved faster.

Definitely DM Paul in Discord. They are a company that sells themselves, at least in part, on their the quality of their customer service. If you’re not satisfied, let them know. In my experience, it sometimes takes a couple tries, but they usually make it right as best they can.

Yeah, I love Tony, but kinda wish they were leading w/ something older of his...or better yet, one of the releases by the Tony Rice Unit! Also not thrilled at the $35 price tag, so will prob. wait for a sale or coupon or just end up skipping this one.

have you or @Jeff Lerner checked out any of Bela Fleck 's albums? I think Tony is on a few and lots of instrumental jams there. Drive is next level.

I like Bela in all of his combinations, & esp. dig one of his "Tales from the Acoustic Planet" titles. Saw Flecktones live a couple of times & that was always fun.

Bela is awesome. Saw the Flecktones once and saw him do a show with just him and Chris Thile once.

Yeah, I’ve seen them open for and collaborate with The Dave Matthews Band of multiple occasions. Always a fun time.

Tony Rice only lasted a few days, that is great to hear for hopes of more bluegrass drops in the future.

Wow, that's impressive. Agree that more bluegrass & acoustic stuff would def. be nice for future releases.
