Mine was supposed to be here today, but it was in Orlando this morning at 10:00, so I do not have much hope.

It's been gone a few days, and I do wish I picked up an extra copy.  One will suffice though.
Thanks Santos!

I always buy two vaults but yeah i only bought 1 this go ‘round.

I never buy 2, but I did this time since there are two different pressings. US and EU. You can still order the EU pressing.

Interested to pick up if there are any significant differences in how the two different pressings are cut.  One thing I noticed on this one particular is that each record, particularly the 3rd leaves A LOT of space on the end of each side that feels like it is not the most optimal idea.

Mine is out for delivery today. So should be able to answer a lot of questions on the differences of the pressings.

Gosh I really hate to ask a stupid question, but how do you see your tracking number?

everyone who ordered prior to 12/20 got an email on 12/20 with a IN QUEUE message that had the UPS Mail Innovations # when the label was created.   If you ordered after 12/20 you need to find the email that indicates your order is ready for shipping.  The Tracking # is in this email.

Go to UPS.com >Tracking > Track by Reference Number (link on the right) > select Mail Innovations > enter your order number followed by a 1. (So if your order# is 4779999, enter 47799991)

If it's been handed off to USPS, the USPS number should be in your shipping confirmation email.

Thanks so much!

Mine was delivered today as well.  Cant wait to get home and spin it!

Mine has reached Jacksonville, but it's not out for delivery, so I doubt it's happening today.

The start is really rough. Not a very good performance

it's not a show that should have been released as a vault at all, imo.

Agree 100%. There were so many better shows in 2005.

Ok if anyone cares here are the differences between the US and EU pressing of vault #8.

PACKAGE
Packaging is exactly the same, no difference in the book style package and exact same spine information, style and position.
However, the EU version does have the LPs in separate black paper sleeves. So you may see more scuffs from the US version as you try to remove them from the book pages. I would have liked the black sleeves to by poly-lined, but I guess you can't have everything.

LPs
The records are the EXACT same cut. They're from the same plates, plated at RTI. Both versions were cut by Levi Seitz at Black Belt Mastering in Seattle. These plates were then sent to press at Cascade Record Pressing, per information here. Now there is not any information regarding this plant in the runouts. Usually Cascade etch CP-#### on their work however there are none present on the US pressings, if I had no information from here, I would have assumed they were pressed at RTI. The plates sent to Europe were pressed at GZ Media. This can be found by their job number stamps on the EU pressings runout.

EDIT - @Santos L. Halper  , can we get a confirmation that the US pressings were in fact pressed at Cascade Record Pressing.

Sound
These should sound EXACTLY the same. Since they're from the same plates (cuts), there should be no sound difference. Now I have not listened to both yet, and pressing errors can cause audible differences, but that would be the pressing plants fault.

The look of the LPs look very nice, all seem to be flat, and labels centered. Look forward to listening and see what we have.
