My copy of Lightning Bolt has now traveled 4,109 miles for a trip that should take less than half of that (Auburn to Appleton is approximately 1900 miles).
Received mine in the Chicago suburbs today. Jacket and sleeve are in great shape, which was surprising considering the journey it went on. As for the vinyl, it kept skipping in the same place about 30-45 seconds into Getaway. Went to Mind Your Manners and have had no issues through the rest of side A. I'm just about to flip it over to side B.

Well, Third Man Records shipped out their Vault Packages on 10/21. It is currently at my door. Shipped via USPS from TN to MA. 2 days. I have yet to receive my Lightning Bolt vinyl from 10 Club....
Both arrived today for me. Quite the day for vinyl love to my house. I peeked outside, mail carrier and I surprised each other, he was surprised because I saw him drop the packages from waist height to my porch. Luckily they landed flat. I guess he didn't see the labeling on both that clearly said 'fragile.'
Luckily nothing was trashed on the inside of the packages.

Oh man. Mine are always standing up against the door. I've never met him, but I would guess that he might collect vinyl as well based on this! Nice to know there is a fellow Vault member on here.
Got mine in Dracut MA today. Packaging looks sick. Sleeve has a smal tear on each side, not the end of the world, but it would be cool if that was not the case.. Eventually that small tear will be the entire sleeve.
Have not played the record yet... The kids in bed, but there are a couple burs on the edge, and some debris on the vinyl... We shall see.

Listened to side B. Bad popping during the beginning of Pendulum, then skipped in the same place over and over. Rest of the side was fine. Getaway and Pendulum were my issues. After looking at the record closely, there is a substance that's hard on both sides where those songs are (possibly glue?). You can actually see the substance in the pic I took. Roughly 10 o'clock on side A. The substance on side B is directly behind the side A substance. Needless to say, I'll be asking for a new record.

Finally got mine in Philadelphia suburbs. The package and the vinyl all look good, no scratches smudges or debris noted. Still have to spin it though...
Well, it finally arrived today. It took 13 days to travel from Auburn, WA to Portland, OR...or about 154 miles. It flew over my house, went to CA, then to AZ, then back to CA before visiting WA again (7 miles from it's starting destination :fp:). And it arrived today. There's a noticeable scratch/gouge on Side A & severe smudging on Side B, so I've already sent an email asking for a replacement copy.
The packaging itself is absolutely stunning. Just wish I could spin this without skipping. But, I've waited this long, right? :fp:

Received my copy yesterday, lots of manufacturing "flash" on the edges of the vinyl which cut holes in the record sleeve, skips on Getaway, Lightning Bolt, Pendulum, and Yellow Moon.
Also had some kind of thin waxy film in spots all over the record and what is playable on the record sounds very dim to me, had to crank the volume much higher than I usually do for other albums. Just doesn't sound like a good analog transfer to me at all.
Just sent my replacement email, hopefully a new copy will be coming soon!
Anybody else notice the muffled sound of the album?
I just received my "TenClub" edition of the Lightning Bolt LP. Of coarse I was one of the many unlucky fans to receive a defective version. Anyways, was the vinyl edition supposed to include a postcard inside showcasing one of the track's artwork? I didn't receive one in mine and read somewhere that people were getting these. Should I add this to my complaint email to UMG customer service? I was really hoping this "TenClub" version had something special to offer other than that digital video. Alternate packaging? Colored vinyl? Bonus track?

I requested my confirmation number from Ten Club since I accidentally erased the email, and upon the email I saw that it was delivered today!!! Will update more when I find out if it actually plays or not. Was a little easier for me to handle when I saw that it didn't ship till the 19th.

I had understood these would be inside the mailer and not within the vinyl, did you check the mailing packaging carefully?

This is the path it has taken in visual form:
Notice it has crossed over itself FOUR times.
Wind this thing up.

nothing as of yet...
but my favourite beer always advertises that 'good things come to those who wait'
Those were also eddies words when they played in Belgium for the first time ever in 2006!
@BelgianPJfan
Also add, has anyone in Canada seen the vinyl for sale @ their local record stores? I haven't yet.
