Received shipping notification for my 2x Japan records. A little concerned that the tracking shows delivered to Australia last June. I'm sure it will get here.
Does this mean you will have a spare copy that you may be willing to offload??

I got mine too... usually I can take the USPS tracking # and plug it into the Canada Post site to see to follow the tracking once it crosses the border, but when I did that it showed tracking for someone elses package last year. Wondering if USPS is recycling tracking numbers.

I'm in the UK so if you are not then it's a lot of hassle for both parties. I ordered 2 because shipping prices was the same for 2 or not much more. I'm probably going to be hit with import tax though so no idea how much these are actually going to cost at the moment.

I got my live in Japan today. I'm fairly disappointed. The first record has a fair number of issues. Side A has a number of skuff marks and scratches. Side B looks like it has a manufacturing defect. There's little bump on the vinyl. Not sure how to describe it. It looks like a micro mountain. Maybe 1mm in diameter that sticks out above the surface on the needle. Sort of afraid to spin that side because it could fuck with the needle.
On top of that the packing was pretty lackluster and they shipped the records outside the sleeve, but that meant the sleeve had no support so one corner got massively munched.
Emailed madam zuzu's to see if they could send a replacement but I'm not hopeful.
Well apparently they are opening a claim for my Japan vinyl since according to the tracking it was sent to Australia in June 21.
Sounds like they dont expect it to arrive although it sounds very much like recycling of tracking numbers in which case I would just expect it to turn up one day.
Mine did turn up in spit of the reused tracking number.
Good news is they are mailing me a replacement copy. At first they wanted me to send the original back, but once they realized they couldn't print me a shipping label because I'm international, they said they'd mail me a new one.
I'm happy with that resolution. At least they've got spares for when shit goes sideways
Never ceases to amaze me how much this record in whatever vinyl format sells for. $400 for the boxset, probably double for a '96 3LP, more depending on how low the number is and even bootlegs sell for $150.

Probably because it's out of print. Once something is out print and the only way to get copies is from someone elses collection, the prices tend to go up. I think I read somewhere that the label wasn't over enthusiastic about repressing it... could be a while.

2 years ago I bought my copy for $100
I bought mine new. I think it was around $85. I remember debating if I wanted to spend that much on it.

I don't think it was OOP 2 years ago. I remember seeing one at my record store the first time I went in after Covid started.
The problem with popular things is, as soon as they go out of print, the prices start going up.
I think I paid $70ish Canadian for mine when I bought it whenever it was first issued.

I think there was a pressing in 2012 that one had all kinds of issues and they repressed it again in 2014 that one sounds great. Not sure how long it was in print but there is a big difference in the pressings and they look almost identical
you don’t want the 2012 for sure at the going rate.

This sounds like something Billy would say, because if the label doesn't keep it in print 100% of the time, they aren't enthusiastic about it.
I'm sure when (they probably already know) the label sees what they are going for on the secondary, they'll fit it into a block they have at a plant. But I'm sure they have coordinate the manufacturing of the box as well and even printing plants have back ups.
Wouldn't be surprised if they try to time it with a new record or the Machina reissue when interest in the band is at its modern peak.

2014 pressing. that was the last pressing of it. No other represses that discogs shows.

There was an inventory dump about a year and a half ago, maybe two years ago. I'm guessing they shipped all that was remaining. Or there was a small repress and nothing changed from the 2014 second pressing with the new cut so no need for a new discogs listing.

I think you are right. Mine is a 2014, and I got it in 2020 for around $85 - so I don't think it was out of print yet when I bought it.
I'm pretty sure I have the 2012 pressing as I was pretty stoked when it got the reissue. Sounds good enough to my years.. now i'm curious about the 2014 repressing.. lol.

There is inner groove distortion on 2012. Apparently it was significant enough to silently release an updated version in 2014 (according to Discogs)
2014 has more dead wax so you can visually tell on the records themselves. The outer cardboard packaging (not the box) has an FBI warning I don’t believe is on the 2012 version. If you don’t hear the distortion (not always easy to tell on a SP album anyway), then no big deal
Boy was that 2012 cut one of the worst cuts I've ever heard. My setup is pretty good and not picking up IGD, but that was hands down the worst record I ever owned. Really happy with the 2014 cut.

It's been a while since I listened to it. Zero was the track people were complaining about the most. People also complained about the Aeroplane Flies High set sound quality and its still fetching some high prices. They sneaked out the recut 2014 MCIS but the problem with ordering the 2014 was there was no way of distinguising it when you ordered it from anywhere, I'm sure the packaging was identical and so it was hard to tell if it was old or new stock. You had to order it and open it. It was repressed again before the pandemic hit but was done by a different plant, I'm sure the most recent one was pressed at Furnace. It was easily available one day then the next it was gone everywhere and prices went up again
Despite initially having what looked like a recycled tracking number, my Japan vinyl has started to track properly. Left London this morning so should be here this week.

I have to admit I don't really notice sound issues on a lot of records. My system and my ears aren't good enough. There's been a few times I've only heard the issues after someone has pointed it out on reddit or something. A few times I've noticed if it is really muffled or something but it's quite rare for me.
