Found two copies of Mad Season

lotsalemon

I found two copies of the Mad Season vinyl RSD release at my local shop - only problem is that there are some nasty seam splits at the top of the record. Good for playing, bad if you want a mint copy to look at

If anyone is interested in these I'll swing by this weekend and grab them - no promises they will still be there. They are 29.99 - we can work out shipping and specifics.

PM me if you want one of these.

funny you say that... i ordered one copy from 10C and another from http://www.whatrecords.co.uk, both have nasty seam splits also at the top....Annoying!!! i'm thinking maybe they came from pressing factory that way.

I was lucky, my copy from the 10c was in great shape. It seems no matter how you pack records there's a good chance you're probably gonna end up with seam splits of varying degrees, unless you remove the vinyl from the cover and pack it in it's own sleeve. The USPS/UPS is not gentle with anything. :fp:

Wait hold up, the RSD mad season - above on vinyl was available in the shop? How did I miss that?

Secret Stash Records ships their vinyl outside of the gatefold and uses a plain white inner outside of any printed sleeves to prevent any damage during shipping.

They know what they're doing and it's great.

Not great if you buy sealed vinyl.

But it is!

They do that old-time thing with wax where they stamp the sleeve shut. It's all very nicely done. I can post pics if you'd like. It's pretty cool.

Mine was in perfect shape, luckily. What a really love is that it wasn't packaged in cello, but instead in a more substantial plastic outer sleeve with a perforated, easy-open top, so you can use the outer packaging as a protective sleeve forever. I really appreciate that.

But I REALLY liked what they did with the Blind Melon RSD release. The discs were packaged in flimsy paper sleeves (still inside the gatefold, which I prefer for the protection of the vinyl), and the real sleeve with the graphic and everything was also in there, empty. So you just get rid of the crappy paper sleeve and put the discs in the actual ones. That is a great way to sell a sealed record and still ensure that the inner sleeves are undamaged. That was the first time I saw that done. Everyone should do it.

Or you could not use the "real" sleeve? A lot of people buy plain inner sleeves and replace them every time they clean their records, to leave the other sleeves mint.

True. I'm not quite meticulous enough to do that, but for those that really want to keep them mint for reselling or trading, why not. I personally don't like handling those floppy paper things. Nicer to handle the solid ones, and to read them when the records are playing... I like to enjoy the whole package to the fullest over keeping things mint (with careful handling of course). Bit anyway, I really liked that .method of packaging because while I don't have to keep it mint, I HATE splitting in sleeves, especially when the album is brand new! So keeping the vinyl out of the good sleeves and sealed until it reaches me is perfect.
