    I got the limited edition marble vinyl. Looking forward to spinning it. 

    I am also waiting for two Tom Petty albums I ordered 2 weeks ago. USPS tracking said the package was supposed to have been here last Saturday. There was no additional update on the tracking site. After an infuriating call to USPS I was told it was sent to the wrong local branch of the post office in NYC. Rather than simply sending it to the right branch (Manhattan is not that big area wise), they had to send it back to the sorting center to be rerouted. Since media mail does not have priority it could be up to 10 days before they resend it. It was their fuck up and now I have wait. Rage-inducing for sure. 
    Fantastic album, amazing pressing and remastering job. All new vinyl should sound this good. Mine is a black copy but I’m sure the variant will be excellent as well. 
    My limited marbled version is not good - warped, lots of surface noise and pops / ticks throughout on at least Disc 1 - have been in touch with the webstore so hope they can sort, but really disappointed given all the great comments on the black vinyl version. If you bought this I would definitely open and check it for quality. Looks amazing though!
    That is really unfortunate. Sorry to hear that because the black wax is sublime. One of the best new rock/alternative vinyl listening experiences I’ve had in a while. 
    Thanks, such a shame. And all they could offer was a refund, which given it is limited is the best I could expect I suppose, but definitely ruins to experience for me. Maybe a really good clean will get rid of some of the noise, we'll see.

    FINALLY!!!!
    Found this at a local shop last weekend. It has a slight warp that affects the first 2 minutes of the 1st song on side 2. The rest sounds absolutely amazing. I wish they'd just reissue their catalog, but I'm so happy to have this...been looking for a long time.


    Spinning this now & it sounds fucking great.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    Preordered as well.  One for me, one for my son.  This is a famous show, for any DMB afficianados out there.  It is the live debut of many songs that came from the famously awesome Lillywhite Sessions.

    I don't like that Craft doesn't share the pressing info upfront.  I have several of those already and they are so good,  but I can't imagine the Lush Life (as an example) is the KG version for $21.  

    But yet if it is,  I'll kick myself.

    Yea, I think these are the latest OJC pressings. RTI pressed not sure of engineers. But I did pick up the Yusef Lateef (didn't have it), and Colossus. I have the 2017 KG Colossus, but I think the latest OJC was a repress of the KG/SH (DCC Stampers). Hoping it is so I can A/B them.

    Cool. I plan on spinning it tomorrow. I listened to some of the songs online before I bought it. It does sound pretty great.

    Well I should be posting my two new Tom Petty albums on here tonight. However, they appear to be lost. Tracking said they were delivered today yet they are nowhere to be found. The postal worker usually rings my buzzer to come down when I have a package, but that didn’t happen either. I called USPS and getting a live person is like trying to call the President. But finally I got one on the phone. They are going to look into it. I sent an email to Newbury Comics letting them know what happened. I hope they look into it on their end as well :angry:

    That happened to me last week.  FedEx said they delivered my Muddy Waters record and it wasn’t.  Super annoying.  Fortunately Acoustic Sounds has amazing customer service. They said if they don’t find it in the few days, they’ll send a replacement.

    That’s great they will send you a replacement. I hope Newbury is as responsive. I haven’t heard back yet. The mail has been really bad lately. My parents sent me a bday card last month and it just never showed up. No clue what happened to it. They sent me a new one and that one came in a few days. But the first one just evaporated somewhere - probably hanging out with my lost Tom Petty records.

    Picked up these 2 reissues yesterday





    I’ve loved both of these since they first came out. Stories From The City is just flawless, one of my favourite records.

    The Optimist LP is a double on clear amber vinyl, the second disc is demo versions.

    Crazy, I usually don't have a lot of problems. But today I received my monthly records from VMP, and the box was EMPTY. USPS put a sticker on the box " RECEIVED IN DAMAGED CONDITION - No Contents" ... just WOW. Emailed VMP, we will see what happens now.

    Wow. Lots of mail mishaps. Mine still haven’t shown up. The post office told me they have to investigate with my local branch. I also haven’t heard back from Newbury. They only have an email for customer service. I have several albums on order for delivery from different places. I hope this doesn’t happen again with any of the others.

    What a bummer!  Sorry to hear about this!
    I must be the luckiest buyer and seller in America.  I never bought much through the mail until I moved to the smaller town I'm in now- that was 25 years ago and I didn't have enough money to buy stuff on line even then so I would say it was about 20 when I started to purchase things on line.  As for selling, over the last 15 years I've received several dozen and shipped probably about 750 items.  Some of the destinations and points of origin include Alaska and Hawaii as well as other countries.  Out of all the items I've ever bought or sold (all but a couple via USPS and most of those by media mail and a hand full of priority), out of all of those items coming or going, I've only had one mishap- a box of records that was super poorly packaged and broke open so that a few were lost (this was through eBay and I was refunded).  That's it!  No other lost, stolen, or otherwise screwed up shipments. 
    I must have a postal service angel looking out for me- I will ask her to do the same for you! Meanwhile, I hope this situation gets resolved in a satisfactory manner for you!

    I have had records take up to a month to get through the mail, but only one was completely lost. I bought 2 of the Uncle Tupelo MOV records from a shop in England. They were shipped separately, one arrived in just about 2 weeks with a bent corner in a very flimsy mailer, and the other one never showed up. They did refund the one that was lost.

    After hearing from Newbury I have low hopes for a refund or replacement. The issue is not that the item was lost. It was marked by the post office as being delivered yet it was not as far as I could tell. I can’t find it. Newbury said that since they have the information that the post office delivered it I have to deal with the post office. I am still waiting to hear back from the post office. The guy at Newbury did say to contact them to let them know what happens with the post office. But I think once an item is marked as being delivered the seller thinks their part in it is done. We will see. Maybe it was stolen.
