Just got mine
D in Colorado
Checked FedEx tracking and it said it had been left at front door.
It was at my front door but no knock no doorbell ring nothing to let me know it was there!!

The FedEx guy left mine in my driveway leaning against the garage. Couldn't be bothered to walk the extra 20 feet to the door, let alone ring the bell.

I wouldn't be surprised at all.

Well, mine arrived with a deep crease in the outer carton, LP sleeve was bent, and the LP itself severely warped. You'd think with Las Vegas temp at 105 yesterday, they might have knocked or rang the bell and not left on the front porch??? Bummed, but I've contacted Third Man about getting it replaced, and adding 'Signature Required' service at my expense. :(

Mine arrived with a pretty decent scratch on the A side. After inspecting it again I also noticed it's fairly warped as well. . . I contacted Third Man Wednesday morning and still haven't gotten a reply from them.

Got the following reply this morning:

We will remedy all missing item / damaged item issues as quickly as possible beginning the week of September 5th. I apologize for any inconvenience and assure you that we will get this taken care of as soon as we can. In the meantime, we appreciate your patience as we finish the remainder of the Vault 29 shipments.

Thank you,
TMR

lol at these fedex stories. I was so excited for it to come I went out to sign for it when it got here and the FedEx woman said I scared her because no one ever comes out to get their package. unfortunately she said she just planned on leaving it on my porch. we gotta get back to having to sign for this stuff.

Just finished burning this awesome record to CD, anyone have a decent resolution scan of the cover for iTunes?

pledgeagrievance

I finally got an update. Scheduled for end of day Sept 6th. For reference last name AA in NJ. So basically everyone else should get theirs before me based on last name alone

tylerj

Mine was FINALLY shipped. Should be receiving it next week. Last name starts with J.

Sarava

Yeah my vaults finally shipped out. Scheduled to deliver Tuesday!

Hate to ask this but did anyone else have an issue with their center hole being too tight?

(Cue that's what she said)

Seriously though- damn near had to break the record trying to get it on and off. I have a Pro-ject Debut Carbon- never had this happen and have a decent sized collection.

Any tips? Should I contact third man?

Here here.
I just grabbed the record by the outer edges and moved it back and forth until it came off. It should eventually work itself out so it wont be on too tight in the future. The hole should eventually loosen up......

I'll insert a biro pen in the hole and gently twirl.

This happens from time to time. No big whoop.

Excellent advice - many thanks. Can't believe it's the first time I've had it. Panic set in but- in true appreciation of how f-ing great the record is, I still had to hear the other side and nearly split it in half again.

Thanks both!

The hole on mine is a little tight but it's fine.

I can't believe how good this sounds....When Pendulum started up it sounded like they were jamming in my living room! So much depth.

Not being a dick just being serious- really? I feel like pendulum on the '13 cd bootlegs sounds way better, almost any show you pick has better ambiance and atmosphere and depth. The vinyl sounds good but does anyone else feel like it's a little overhyped?

lotsalemon

Yup really.
What I mean is, the way this is recorded has depth. You can hear all the little nuances in Ed's voice, the guitars, etc. Not referring to the version of the song itself.

Cool, I got ya. It must just be me then, but that's ok! I don't mind being the outlier. I love the album for what it is, I just don't think I'll be playing it that often. The set list is kinda weird and the sound is good but not mind blowing in my opinion. I feel like you don't get a real feel for the room that they're in. The best sounding albums I have give you a sense of the atmosphere. Benaroya for PJ, okonokos for mmj, and the mofi lab Garcia and Grisman are by far superior. Cool part of the collection, but out of all the pj vinyl I have there's several others I definitely will reach for more often.

And hey, that's totally just my opinion, not trying to be a hater by any means. I don't have an audiophile setup by any means either, and I know peeps in here do so I trust other's opinions a lot since their sound is prob better than mine.

lotsalemon

No worries man, it's all just a matter of opinion!

I agree with you 100% on Benaroya Hall - that venue has some magic in it.
