    Reading this thread, I can't believe how messed up this all is!

    Has anyone from the UK received a copy? I purchased the 10C vinyl and CD, but like the Christmas singles, the UK seems to be way down on the despatch list! I bet I don't receive mine until December!

    But I'll be totally gutted if after the wait it comes back like some of these coasters!!! :o

    10C will be sending out a ton of replacements on these, or refunding everyone they have no choice

    Why don't you just open the second one?!? If it is a good copy, then keep it as your one to listen to, and return the damaged one and keep the replacement sealed. If the 2nd one is damaged as well, you still get 2 replacements.

    Seems easy enough to me.

    10C should look up how Coca-Cola was able to recover after the "New Coke" debacle.

    Already decoded to open both... And i'llmopen the replacement too. I don't think anyone in their right mind would ever buy or trade for this particular album sealed or even unplayed no matter when it was bought, given the circumstances. I know i wouldn't.

    Place purchased- 10club

    Jacket/sleeve condition- Perfect

    Vinyl condition (play grade preferably)- Getaway is warped, no noticeable scratches anywhere. I thought it was just the way it was supposed to sound because I was messing with the tuning to see if I could fix it and nope. Nearly invisible bass line on all the songs which makes me kinda sad. Pendulum is just wow. messed up. There's some bumps threw out the whole album.
    Concerts I've been to:
    Chris Cornell- Balboa; Theatre, San Deigo CA. December 17, 2011
    Stone Temple Pilots; Pearl Concert Theater, September 24, 2012
    Soundgarden; The Wiltern, LA. Feburary 17, 2013

    I still don't have mine delivered yet in AUS. Is 10C replacing all?

    TX. 10/18/13. Received pristine album cover, sleeve, liner notes, stickers, postcards. Shipping materials were in tact and undamaged. Vinyl looks to be perfect except a small (large pinhead) sized bit of vinyl stuck to the outside edge, edges are very rough. Will play today to check sound quality. Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones.

    Mine was about 40 minutes north of me as of Saturday. Hopefully it makes it here sometime today or tomorrow without defects, but I'm not holding my breath based on what I'm reading here so far... :fp: Just happy I at least have Hartford to lift my spirits on in 5 days :D

    LOOKS like it is out for delivery today in chicago. but who the fuck knows... will probably end up in alabama by the end of the day. :fp: :roll:

    so what's the consensus here... keep it sealed in hopes that 10C rights this huge wrong and we can just send it back for an exchange? or just play it and pray it is one of the very few good presses?

    your 10c email has a tracking number.. just go to "ups shipping innovations" and track it.

    Considering 10c hasn't yet addressed the problem, you should open it. If it's defective, I'd think they'll have to replace it...sealed or open.

    Got mine on Friday and just listened to it once with great disappointment. Getaway loops about halfway into the song, so I have to move the needle. I would estimate 15+ really loud pops on the whole record, with some decent amount of surface noise throughout. Of all the new records I've bought in the past few years (probably around 100), it's by far the worst sounding one. I'll be expecting a new one from 10c when they can get around to admitting there's an issue.

    For those having skipping / popping issues: have you tried cleaning the LP? I know that when I have issues with new LP's and clean them they most often play fine. Just curious.

    Not like that really matters. My tracking info says estimated delivery of today the 21st. But the last info it has is October 15 in Auburn WA. so I texted my mailman (who is the rhythm guitarist in our band) and he said no packages for me today.

    Btw. I clarified that about my mailman because its kind of weird to just have your mailmans phone number. I'm not weird.
