    Today is 1 calendar month from the official Australian release date of 11/10/2013 and I'm still here without the product advertised as being shipped to arrive for release day.

    I see from their website, they got theirs from EU. Is it a different pressing?

    Mine is a EU release, and the matrix number is exactly the same (B0018983-01-A ⓤ FOR THE LEAGUE OF CRAFTY FULMINOLOGISTS/B0018983-01-B ⓤ SURF IS WHERE YOU FIND IT - GERRY LOPEZ) but they added another stamp (http://www.gzvinyl.com 3749369-A/http://www.gzvinyl.com 3749369-B). So, I think those are the same plates as the US ones, but the plant is different (from the Czech Republic).

    Vinyl finally arrived in Galway yesterday. Packaging is fine but sound quality is terrible. About to email for replacement.

    What's wrong with it as far as I can tell is that the Three Stooges did the pressing while drunk and then packaged them while eating fistfuls of potato chips and occasionally throwing the LPs around like Frisbees. The records don't work. :P

    But hey, at least you live in Galway. Beats any stupid record.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    they don`t work in general? or is the sound awefull of the complete record? or "only" for some songs? and if the latter,what songs are we talking about?

    That was as serious an answer as I could muster. :lol:;)
    The problems are all similar but also completely random. All different songs, various levels of horribleness, from background noise to static to occasional pops or skips to huge skips and pops throughout. Many have hand prints and finger prints and smudges all over them, some actually have chunks of glue on them, some have labels applied over the grooves. Some sound super quiet. But I would guess from all of the comments on the boards that a good 95% of the records are fucked up in some way or another.
