I finally had a chance to listen to LP's 2 & 3. I didn't notice any scratches and everything sounded fine.

Cool, I guess. My order says it's been shipped, but nothing from UPS/USPS or whomever.

Definitely very fast response when it comes to 10C dealing with problems. I sent them a photo of my broken records, and I got an email the very next morning saying the replacements would ship within 2 days and should arrive in 10 - 14 days.

Don't get too excited just yet. I got a similar email saying it would ship within 2 days... Then three weeks of silence went by. I had to email them again. They got back to me quickly again but hopefully it actually ships this time. Interesting that they're asking people to destroy them because they didn't ask me to do so. Maybe because I emailed them pictures of all the scratches on mine and that was good enough?

I wonder if it's just because you Contacted them early. I didn't see reports of this smashing thing until fairly recently. Maybe they weren't making the request until they realized just how many records had issues.
Anyway, I hope you're an exception as far as the speed of delivery goes! I'll hold the faith, since it seems that they're in the replacement groove now.

Thanks! You had an issue with this record too, no?

Will today be the day the Vault 4 vinyl or Vault 4 CD land here in Nova Scotia? Anyone else waiting for their copies to arrive in Atlantic Canada?

East Coast snow storm & UPS delivery? Oh no!!!!

Yeah. Discs 2 and 3 had problems (disc 1 was the only one that looked like it would be thrashed because it was covered in grit and filth, but that was actually the only one that played well after I cleaned it). I found it really counterintuitive to be smashing vinyl. A hammer doesn't work at all. I literally found that method impossible, and I was banging at those thing with all my strength (it became an exercise in curiosity, lol). All it did was leave marks on the record. Red marks, oddly enough. What's up with that? But then you just gently hit them on a hard corner and they practically crumble. Huh!

Finally arrived in NZ!

PJ_Soul

Got my replacement - got here fast and they are in good shape.
I really like this boot a lot. A really good setlist IMHO.

PJ_Soul

Finally had a close listen to the replacement discs.... tons of crackling and popping on side F, and some crackling on much of both replacements.

64c and Cloudy

Just picked mine up from my old work place after it was delivered there accidentally. Looking forward to giving it a spin tomorrow!

While I was at it I dug out my Vault #3 vinyl. Has anyone noticed the spine coming unstuck on the inside and slightly ripping on theirs?

The packaging looks great but feels very awkward to me when opening and getting the discs out. The weight of the discs seem to be pulling down the inserts from having it standing up all this time.

It looks like it can be easily fixed, but I think I'll need to store them flat from now on. The covers seems to be strong enough to prevent them from warping.

Either way, they look great next to my Drop in the Park and Orpheum Theatre records!

Bring on Vault #5 already!

bazzer

Yep, but I wouldn't personally store them flat. You could take the records out and put them in new sleeves and store them separately.

Great idea!

got my vinyl today in Indonesia, will open and check for any defect...

nippleholic

Anyone else have glue on theirs? Mine has a small drop stuck on side A.

Question at the end of Light Years (around the 5:12 mark), does Eddie say "Thank you, Mount Bacon"?

bazzer

Probably Mount Baker (Theatre)!
