gotta agree with those who say the packaging on this was poor at best

mine arrived - thankfully it was almost unscathed but did suffer a good ding to the top edge that has made a mess of the gatefold. Ok not mega damage and I will obviously live with it but completely unavoidable. This comes in a very flimsy cardboard box wrapped once in thin bubble wrap. Royal mail are never that gentle so the slight ding on something will be felt by the contents.

Heard a few people are missing vinyl 1 and got two of vinyl 3's....how common was that?

Hate to hear that Paul, I'm surprised they didn't do it the same way they packaged vault 3 so we didn't have problems!

How is the sound quality on these?

If the 10C has to open up all of these before they ship, we won't see them for a while. That's going to be a mess.

It's the vinyl manufacturers who are fucking things up. 10C might need to rethink who they get to manufacture their records. After the LB fiasco, it should be a serious priority to avoid widespread product flaws. Perhaps someone at 10C needs to spend more time with overseeing QA with their contractors, and go to the manufacturer in person and do personal checks or something. One would think such measures wouldn't be necessary, but it seems maybe they are.

Received mine, in France, this morning.

The three records are here and, paradoxically, even though the packaging isn't as good Vault 3, the cardboard cover is in a better shape than my Vault 3.

The only thing is that my E side has a huge scratch. Fortunately, it's only something visible (just tried, didn't hear anything wrong).

Anyway, I'm going to have a close listen to it to make sure everything's right.

Anyone who has received duplicate discs - have you checked the etchings in the runoff areas to see if they are the same/different, or played the discs? My hope is that they just applied the wrong center labels, but if they're definitely confirmed as duplicates, that really sucks! Not liking the frequency of this issue.

OK! Listened to the full show.

As I said, the E side has a long scratch but nothing audible.

However, Side F (which looks clean) has some cracks and pops for a few seconds (just at the begining of the Encore Break 2). :(

I can confirm they are duplicates, not wrong labels.

wow
after a long wait, this is kind of a bummer to read about bad packing and mis-packs. anyone who didn't receive complete versions, i hope you post feedback you get from 10C. this will be an interesting fix. i would assume they are jammed at the warehouse with BF2014, MLB, Vault 4 and the Xmas single?

Really didn't enjoy reading this thread now, I have a package awaiting for me at the post office and I figure it's the vault vinyl. Just hope it's not a complete mess

It won't be the Vault 4 vinyl. Our Vault 4 copies would of been shipped from 10club's warehouse in Seattle. Just checked my order history and it's still @ the warehouse.

Though .. think only the vinyl copies sent to Seattle are for distribution to USA folks only? And the one's shipped from Czech Republic are shipped out to everyone around the world, accept USA residents? If this is the case, then this totally blows. :(

Vinyl is scheduled to arrive in Seattle later this week, pending customs clearance. US, CA, Rest of World Shipments should start leaving the warehouse week of 12/08/2014.

Thanks! Can breathe a sigh of relief, for now. Hopefully these Vault vinyls shipped from 10club are shipped using the same boxes that were used for their Vault 3 packaging.
