OFFICIAL LB Vinyl Condition Thread
It would be great if we could post in one thread.
Place purchased...
Jacket/sleeve condition...
Vinyl condition (play grade preferrably)...
That way we get a better idea how many have issues.

Also, I got the 10C
This is going to be a fiasco!!!
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.
Again, another good use of the word FIASCO

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 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!!!
2010 WATCH IT GO TO FIRE!!
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.

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.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy.
-i could see the cover was torn along the top edge before I took the shrink wrap off
-lots of smearing and "greasy" looking stains on the sleeve, and the sleeve is torn on top edge
-the entire outer edge of the actual record itself feels rough, including a piece of vinyl hanging off, as if it wasn't cut out cleanly. No wonder the sleeve and cover were torn with this rough-edged vinyl inside it.
-same pops as others have described, pendulum is the worst sounding (so far)
-in contrast to The Head and the Heart, Let's Be Still I received today as well, LB seems like it was made in a sweatshop
I noticed the same on my album as well, especially with the vinyl hanging off or being uncut.

Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?
Sleeve is in great condition
I didn't listen past pendulum but it played fine without skipping, but seemed very quiet... I'm gonna listen again tomorrow cause work is a loud place
-my dad after hearing Not for You for the first time on SNL .
my copy is completely fucked, defective, and it pops, skips and jumps throughout the entire lp.
Considering that my sleeve arrived in pristine condition and only Side B was affected..., no. This was not caused by shipping.
