It would be great if we could post in one thread.

Place purchased...

Jacket/sleeve condition...

That way we get a better idea how many have issues.

    I got the 10c, vinyl is excelent( I must be lucky). The gatefold came with a rip on top and a smashed corner. Good thing I buy records to play and not to just collect.

    Vinyl is gouged on both sides A and B, Track 1 on both sides (UNLISTENABLE). So I will sit here, have some :mrgreen: ,and just listen to the new Amos Lee, flawless.

    Also, I got the 10C

    I am wondering what I should do with the copy that I have no intention of opening. I got two copies - one to play, and one to just save, sealed, for future consideration. So I can't check the condition of that one... the whole reason I bought it was to keep it sealed for the long term. So will 10c replace that one too? Because I don't want it. It's basically worthless because of the problem with this run.

    I would say you'd have to open it and check to get a replacement and that seems fair. Doesn't seem like all of them are fucked up. Sounds like there was some sort of mishap with part of the batch between pressing and packaging.

    I'd check it out and go for a sealed one once they get this fiasco sorted out.

    I bought into keep sealed and unplayed. So yeah... I threw away $25. If I want to keep a sealed copy, I'm not doing so with one from this pressing, because I'm not an asshole - obviously I'm keeping it sealed so that I can either sell/trade it many years from now in case it actually ends up being a more valuable item to people, and I'm not about to risk ripping the buyer or trader off with a potentially damaged record. As you said, I will just have to give it away for free to someone who wants to find out if it's fucked up, or just ruin it's value and play it, and then give it away or just keep it to play after the first is worn. I'll have to buy another one once they have a run that isn't mostly damaged in order to save a sealed copy. So thanks to whoever fucked this run up. Very Frustrating to waste $25 because someone else screwed up. I wonder if we'll ever find out what actually happened? ... 10c will probably hide it from us as they do most things.... I actually think they should do a complete.recall of the product, sealed or not. That's what most companies would do, no?

    Howdy PJ Soul,

    Just a thought - words of advice.

    The one you want to maintain in pristine condition: Albums that remain sealed for years and years (I have many) can still be opened carefully for inspection at your own discretion. Do it carefully, give em one spin and then decide what you want to do. A) it's scratchy and shitty sound quality so you either keep it or sell it with full disclosure or B) it plays beautifully and you put it back inside and spin your copy meant for spinning. That way you've got your pretty much pristine condition copy still tucked away and just opened once for testing. Certainly collectors down the road would appreciate and understand that.

    You've got the powah!!!

    Before I put mine on the turntable, I knew it wouldn't go well. Getaway, Pendulum, and Swallowed Whole all skip. Getaway is the worst. The album looks smudged on both sides. On the cover of the liner booklet, there's a heavy distortion running down the entire side.

    Not happy, but hopeful that it will be addressed and remedied in time. I do wonder if they ceased selling the albums at the show tonight. If so, that hopefully means some communication is coming soon.

    I just want an album I can play.

    As a side note, the front side album art looks hand drawn. I expected otherwise. I think I like that.

    Place Purchased: Ten Club

    Jacket/sleeve condition: Excellent / No Issues

    Vinyl condition (play grade preferrably): Side A sounds great with the exception of a few pops / Side B started off good, but started popping and crackling towards the end of "Sleeping By Myself". "Yellow Moon" got even worse and "Future Days" was virtually unlistenable and started skipping. I could not finish it.

    Thank you for the update.

    Man that is crazy that these things are actually skipping. I have junked up albums that don't skip. Really hoping for the best with this whole situation.
